We used Topher and his team for a campaign/event honoring women in business. His professionalism and personality set the stage for a great experience for each of the women. From a client perspective, he was easy to work with, very responsive, and his execution flawless. More...

I needed professional photos for my website and Topher went above and beyond to make me comfortable in front of the camera. I was very nervous at first but he put me at ease and the photos came out beautifully. He is a true talent, professional and an artist, I can't sing his praises enough! More...

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
For me, my best portraits come from authentic moments. Finding common ground, and learning about my subject's story creates an immediate connection. My images are always a reflection of that human exchange.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
It's always important to get a sense of the client's vision for a project. Establishing a clear sense of how the content will be used, where it will be placed, and the end goals for the content are paramount; the more information I have, the more I can help the client maximize on their goals.
What do you love most about your job?
I love engaging with people -- especially people who are convinced they are not 'photogenic'. I love debunking that for them.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I've always had a very independent sense of creativity. Photographers and artists like Annie Leibovitz, Kevyn Aucoin, Pat McGrath, and Peter Lindbergh have repeatedly inspired me to follow my instincts and visual curiosity.
Why should our clients choose you?
While I consider myself highly technical and formalistic from an artistic perspective, I think the most differentiating quality about my work is that it is truly made in front of the camera. I plan meticulously, and I execute accordingly -- the end product is an authentic, beautifully lit photo, with minimal retouching. I've been called a perfectionist, and I won't disagree with that.
