Hi, My Name is Nathan.

I’m a photographer based in Dacono, Colorado.

I photograph American life; rodeo, racing, people and places. Some of that work is commissioned, portraits, events, branding, and projects for businesses and organizations, the rest comes from personal projects and being curious.

I’ve been making photographs for over a decade, and I still like the same basic thing: finding something ordinary and trying to make a picture that feels alive, beautiful, and sometimes emotional.

I live in Northern Colorado with my wife and our three kids. When I’m not working, I’m usually camping, listening to music, messing with a project around the house, or bringing a camera somewhere I probably didn’t need to
