Since my early years working as a photojournalist, I’ve believed in the storytelling power of photography. My images connect as well as communicate. I’m all about fostering an authentic connection: between me and my subject, and between the viewer and the image. Supporting my clients and their brands while telling unique visual stories of diverse bodies, ethnicities, genders and ages, in beautiful settings is the work I’m honored to do. I specialize in creating original and eye-catching fashion lifestyle imagery – the kinds of images that make you pause for a moment and appreciate. With a deep knowledge and connection to the wool industry, knitting and the fiber arts, I photograph people and products all the way from sheep farms to dye studios to fashion models in knits.

I’m a lifestyle and portrait photographer from Italy, currently residing in Los Angeles. As a young boy I had a colorful vintage 1960s map of the United States above my bed. Each main region was represented with a little sketch or figure, very detailed, and I had dreams that one day I was going to be there and discover all those places myself. My passion for visual arts encouraged me to study graphic design and work as web designer in Italy. The opportunity became reality in 2002 when I moved from Italy and my journey started in San Francisco. In few years I ended up in various circumstances in the city of Angeles. The multicultural environment, the vibrant lifestyle and the excitement for embracing this new adventure of life has been my motivation for taking photographs. A passion I cultivated since I was a young teenager and has transformed my life and career. After lot of training and experience, I consider myself very fortunate.
As a producer and storyteller, I develop content to boost your integrated marketing strategies through multiple distribution platforms. My focus is editorial still photography, product marketing video and still imagery, narrative short films, social media-optimized videos and commercial advertising spots. I excel at highlighting local voices — real people — to deepen connections between people, place, cultures, and shared experiences through beautifully-crafted visual storytelling. The key to differentiated storytelling is cultivating strong relationships. Connecting brands to members in the community (not actors or models) opens the door to respect, care, trust and authenticity. In every project, I build strong relationships between the client, hired creatives and communities. For the past 16 years I have been immersed in travel and outdoor photo and video production. The last 7 years were dedicated to leading award-winning content creation for the Utah Office of Tourism with a passionate focus on sharing stories of responsible tourism and brand campaign work. Working in an industry of calculated risk has motivated me to broaden the message of being a well-prepared traveler and member of the community, and I am currently serving on the Board of Directors for the Salt Lake County Search and Rescue Organization. In all projects, I excel at delivering thoughtful and inclusive messaging through inspirational, in-depth, and diverse storytelling. Let’s work together. I’ll bring the snacks.

I didn’t plan to be a photographer when I was a kid – I thought I’d be a veterinarian, an ad man on Madison Ave (hello, Don Draper!), or an astronaut. You know, the usual. But, I picked up a camera while in the army, and the rest, as they say, is history. My photography resume is long and diverse – at different times, I have been a conflict, newspaper, sports, lifestyle, fashion, portrait, feature and food photographer. I have lived and worked in NYC, LA, Miami, DC, Phoenix, Harrisburg, PA, and for the last 11 years, Charlotte. All of these locations and experiences through my career have shaped my perspective. I capture real moments, tell rich stories, and make people and products look great for brands, magazines and ad agencies. My work is real, relatable, honest and authentic. Whether everyday people or hired talent, I have a natural ability to make people comfortable in front of my lens. We have fun on my shoots, I don’t yell, and, on the best days, we eat NC BBQ. I live with my wife and 3 rescue dogs on an acre within the Charlotte city limits that we bought (mostly) for the dogs. When not out shooting, you can usually find me working on personal projects, or exploring a new hobby, or fly fishing for anything that swims. Some fun facts about me below – the rest you need to learn for yourself. So, let’s work together! • I drink a LOT of iced tea and there will always be some on set • I was a Paratrooper in the US Army and have over 75 jumps • I have seen every episode of Law and Order (go head, challenge me!) • I will travel almost anywhere, anytime to eat BBQ • Every fish I catch is released alive to live another day • I have counted over 25 species of birds at our yard feeders • I hiked over 700 miles of the Appalachian Trail in one trip

My name is Greg. I grew up in the South. I never say no to black coffee and chess pie. I know a little bit about a lot of stuff. Like how to tie a bowline, when to prune a rose bush and what makes a tasty rub. I like to pan-fry, sautee, bake, roast and grill whatever I can get my hands on. I married a woman who likes fast cars. Together, we have a couple of kids, a couple of dogs and a trailerful of outdoor gear that is mostly mine. I love my job because I get to meet people from all walks of life. I’ve photographed truck drivers, crabbers, mariachi and linemen. Robot makers, whiskey makers, fridge makers and nut pickers. Professional wrestlers, UN ambassadors, hall-of-famers and polka enthusiasts. Surgeons, CEOs, Air Force One pilots and brewers. Every person I frame up with my camera gives me a little more insight and a broader understanding of what it means to be a person living a life on this planet. Whether I'm telling the stories of real people or working with casting agents to gather the group you like, you can bet I’ll connect with whomever we have on the other side of my camera. Gimme a call and let’s go make some pictures!

Hello, and thank you for visiting! I work locally to San Francisco and Los Angeles, and home has always been Napa Valley, California. When I’m not photographing, I’m hanging out with my son, a wonderful 19-year old who works at a three-Michelin star restaurant, or taking a class towards my wine certification studies. I’ve often been referred to as grace under pressure, having been the photographer for the weddings of Anne Hathaway, Jimmy Kimmel, LeAnn Rimes, Governor of California Gavin Newsom, and the late Robin Williams, among others, as well as the official photographer for Team USA at the Bocuse d'Or (the “culinary olympics”) in Lyon, France biannually. Under the leadership of Chef Thomas Keller we brought home silver one year and gold the next (go team!). After photographing four cookbooks (one of them earning a silver medal in the IPPY cookbook-specialty awards), my lens is focused on culinary, hospitality, lifestyle, portraiture and travel. I’m a visual storyteller, and it’s my nature to tell the most beautiful and meaningful version of a story that I can. Available for commercial, documentary, and editorial assignments (wine country to worldwide), I’d love to creatively collaborate!
As a Kansas City-based commercial and editorial photographer, Steve Puppe’s freelance assignments range from food and environmental portraiture, to healthcare, agriculture and corporate photography. Living with his wife, two daughters and son outside the city, and with a studio in the Strawberry Hill area, Steve has stayed connected to the city where he’s spent much of his life. Steve’s interest in photography, like his connection to his hometown, has deep roots. With a painter for a mother, he was exposed to art at a young age, taking every art class available to him. He flirted with the paintbrush and the pencil, but it wasn’t until he received a camera that he fell in love. From his first high school photo class, Steve knew what he wanted to do with his life. While still a high school student, he had the good fortune of working with Hallmark Cards, which paired him with commercial photographers, and paid for his film and photo trips. Steve continued his photo studies at Kansas University, where he studied advertising and photojournalism. He also freelanced for Hallmark and commercial photographers on the side. Through Hallmark, Steve furthered his creative development, learning how to capture a diverse range of subjects from people to still life. He took that experience with him into a career in photojournalism, covering a variety of stories for notable papers. Eventually, Steve headed back to the studio, working as an in-house photographer at an ad agency. It was there that his degree in advertising gave came into play, giving him the insight to take on a wide array of clients and campaigns. Working as a graphic designer and photographer allowed Steve to take projects from conception all the way to the press check. Fast forward and nowadays, Steve combines that commercial experience with photojournalistic story telling shooting for notable clients like Cerner, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Humana, Sprint, Nike, Google, AT&T, Chrysler and IBM. When he’s not out on assignment, he’s cooking up some Kansas City BBQ, or taking pictures of his family because when Steve’s taking a picture, he’s happy.
