Rhône Studio / Tampa lifestyle & portrait photographer
Real people, out in the world.
Lifestyle photography that takes a brand out of the studio and into everyday life. Tourism campaigns, brand lifestyle, portraits and headshots, shot on location in the light the place actually has.
The work
People, in their element.
Visit Florida, Streamsong, The Park, SeaWorld, Floridian Ceramics. Kayaks, fairways, Tampa rooftops and a pottery wheel. Real staff, real guests and cast talent when the campaign needs it.
How it runs · four steps, no surprises
How a lifestyle shoot runs.
- 01
The people
Real staff, real customers or cast talent, depending on the story. I brief everyone in plain words so nobody is posing; they're doing the thing and I'm catching it.
- 02
The place
On location, in natural light wherever the room or the coast has it. One small light when it doesn't. A few setups per scene, each framed wide for the site and tight for social.
- 03
Proofs
Contact sheet within 72 hours. You pick, I retouch with a light hand: skin stays skin, colour stays true, nothing plastic.
- 04
Delivery
Web and print masters by online gallery, plus square and vertical crops. Model releases collected on the day where the use calls for them.

Lifestyle photography questions, answered.
Real people or models?
Both work. Real staff and guests give tourism and hospitality work its honesty; cast talent gives a campaign control. I can source talent and handle releases either way.
Do you do headshots in Tampa?
Yes, for teams and individuals, at your office, on location or against a clean backdrop. Consistent light across the whole team so the About page finally matches.
Can one shoot cover several locations?
Yes. Tourism and destination work often runs across towns in a day or a region over a few days, with the shot list planned around light and drive time.
Will you direct people who aren't used to a camera?
That's most of the job. Clear, quick direction and a lot of shooting between the posed moments, which is where the good frames live.
Who owns the images?
You get a commercial licence for your own website, social channels, print and advertising. I keep copyright and portfolio use, which is standard for commercial photography.
How fast is turnaround?
Proofs within 72 hours, retouched finals about a week after you pick.
