More about Callista C....

What do you love about your job?

I love taking an ordinary space or product and using light, shadow, and composition to give it feeling. Side-by-side with a basic phone photo, it’s incredible to see the difference that total control over camera settings, creative lighting, and thoughtful editing can make.

What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?

I’ve done real estate photography and food photography. To me, making a shoot special comes down to control and mood.A standard photo shows what a place looks like, but I focus on how it feels. Whether that’s capturing the view through the window while keeping the interior visible, using strategic lighting to highlight architectural textures, or carefully composing a product shot to make it pop, I make every shoot special by bringing out details that a casual photo completely misses.

A fun fact about this photographer

At age 19 I decided to take my online studies abroad and lived in Wellington, New Zealand for a year. I spent my days sleeping in, exploring nature (and Lord of the Rings and Hobbit filming locations), reading at the beach, making new friends, and learning new cultures!
