Memphis Portret Fotografen

John Sklba was born into a photography business. He's had a camera in his hands since he was a teenager shooting everything from weddings to waterfalls.

I'm a candid photographer with a passion for capturing authentic moments, specializing in portraiture that showcases the personality behind the pose. With my experience, I've honed my skills in natural light photography, studio lighting, etc. While I love capturing people, I'm a versatile photographer with experience in a wide range of areas, including automotive, product, and more. I'm also an avid car enthusiast, and love incorporating vehicles into my work to create unique and dynamic images. Whether it's a stolen glance, a beaming smile, a sleek machine, or a beautifully crafted product, I'm dedicated to capturing the essence of my subjects through my lens.

I'm an award-winning lifestyle photographer based in Memphis, TN, the heart of the Mid-South. Working with the advertising, editorial, architectural, and corporate communities, I managed a full-service studio in downtown Memphis where we successfully created images that were informative, compelling, entertaining, and inspiring.

I AM A CREATIVE THAT CAPTURES YOUR PRICELESS MOMENTS AND MILESTONES. I PROVIDE A EXPERIENCE TO ALL OF MY CLIENTS THAT DELIVERS QUALITY PHOTOGRAPHS THAT YOU WILL TREASURE FOR YEARS TO COME.

I have a passion for beautiful photography. From capturing images of people, to architecture, food and everyday life. I've been a professional photographer for over 15 years, and the 15 years before that I shot freelance as a fashion photographer. I've written several books on photography training. I've been published worldwide in books and magazines. I've worked with major companies like Walmart, Fed Ex, and Technicolor. I've had the pleasure of working on shoots with American Idol superstars, and my favorite person to photograph was Dierks Bentley for a national campaign. I love, love, love photography.

I'm D'Angelo Connell, a professional photographer and founder of D'Angelo Connell Photography. My journey began with a passion for storytelling through images, and over the years, I’ve turned that passion into a full-time career. I’m entirely self-taught, gaining my expertise through hands-on experience, client work, and continuous learning. My work spans corporate events, fashion, sports, real estate, portraits, and more—with clients ranging from the City of Memphis to national brands and publications. I’m driven by a deep love for capturing real moments and creating visuals that speak to the heart of a brand, person, or experience.
