Searching for the very best Indianapolis editorial photographers for your next project? Editorial photography covers all kinds of photography fit for publication. In fact, headshots, photojournalism, and event advertising photography all fall under this umbrella.
To excel in this field, the following Indianapolis editorial photographers had to learn elements of storytelling, portraiture, and commercial photography. This also makes them some of the most well-rounded photographers out there.
1. Jennifer Van Elk
Jennifer Van Elk and her husband and co-owner, Steven, have won accolades for their emotional and editorial style wedding photography. So it’s only natural that they would bring those same storytelling talents into everything they do.
Working with companies big and small, the goal with their commercial photography is to tell your brand’s story. Getting to know your brand and your photography goals, they craft a plan to best bring your photos to life. In fact, we see that their background in coordinating wedding shoots is of particular help here. They then set about exceeding your expectations. Tailoring each shoot to the brand gives them a diverse style but you can expect gorgeous natural light, minimal compositions, and plenty of creative touches to help you stand out.
2. Michael Hickey
A regular contributor to Getty Images, Indianapolis editorial photographer Michael Hickey has a hybrid talent. He catches the great moments as they happen and creates scenes to make beautiful photographs. In fact, whatever the photographic need, he can fill it.
Available for assignments of all types, he brings his technical expertise into each and every shoot. His years as a sports photographer have made him adept at anticipating and catching the action as it happens. At the same time, his commercial photography has made him skilled at capturing the beauty of your product.
3. Cori and David of Coda Studios Photography
Cori and David McWhirter have a modern timeless style well-suited to branding portraits and local business marketing. As Indianapolis editorial photographers, they work with both portraits and products. They ensure that you get the exact shot you want and that it’s a shot that fits your brand identity. This means their style is customized to what you want, either headshot or with a lifestyle sensibility.
As a bonus for content creators, they offer ongoing packages of three, six, or 12 months. If you’re a local business and want to use your photos to stand out, give Coda Studios a look.
4. Tony Vasquez
A lifelong love of art brought Tony Vasquez to Bell State University to complete his bachelor’s in fine art photography. It was there where he learned all he could about composition and light. And today, he brings this knowledge to his personal and professional projects alike.
Exploring where light and darkness meet, as well as form and decisive moments, Tony creates compelling editorial photographs of events. We particularly love his wedding and concert images. His work is also well suited to local talents who want to get stunning photos of themselves doing what they love best and couples who want to get beautiful portraits of those they love best.
5. Loreal Made
If one of the main tenets of a good editorial photograph is to tell a story, then Indianapolis editorial photographer Loreal Made upholds this tenet with ease. Each of her shots tells a story — that of a couple deeply in love, of a young entrepreneur ready to impress the world with her ideas, of a family enjoying their time together, etc.
Her photos are evocative and stunning in their unposed goodness. In fact, her wedding work has been published on multiple websites, proving that we’re not the only ones who notice her dreamy style.
6. Kim Beesley
Kim Beesley creates classic editorial shots for publishing and branding. Her style is equal parts headshot and fashion shoot. Ensuring that you will put your best face forward as your brand ambassador, Kim includes hair and makeup styling, as well as her expert guidance, in each of her shoots.
In fact, she can steer you towards the type of session that is right for you, whether it’s a traditional headshot for professional marketing or a branding session that showcases your personality. If you are in need of an image expert, Kim’s got you covered.
7. Jacob Collier
Over the years spent refining his craft, Jacob Collier learned he liked getting to know his subjects and telling their unique stories so he made that the core of his business. He has also created model lookbooks and actor headshots for over five years.
In fact, Jacob’s specialty is showing the world who his subjects are as well as making them look amazing. He is particularly well suited to creative people looking to stand out since his photography has a dreamy, artistic feeling. It boasts elements of analog photography mixed in to create something truly special.
8. Justin Casterline
With over 10 years of working with sporting events to capture their defining moments of victory, loss, and all of the attitude in between, Justin Casterline is one of the finest sports photographers in the area. His work has been published numerous times, with photos appearing online on ESPN and in print with Getty Images — the leading editorial photo aggregator.
9. Ebel Media
A fully-fledged multimedia studio, Ebel Media is on hand for a variety of content creation needs. Video production for advertising, aerial drone shots of the hottest new property on the market, and commercial business photographs are just a few examples of the kinds of media they excel in creating.
Owner Collin Ebel founded the studio in 2017 after a lifelong love of videography and editing compelled him to start offering his talents to the wider Indianapolis area. Soon after, associates Nate and Jake joined his team. Together, they create expertly edited work designed to help you get noticed and effectively market your brand.
10. Greg Perez
Over 15 years of experience has honed the talent of Greg Perez to a fine point. With concurrent specialties of fashion and corporate headshots, he’s one of our favorites for getting a special portrait.
While his headshots are traditionally commanding, his fashion work is more free-flowing and creative. We also love how he uses various techniques to give it the trendy vibe needed in fashion work.
