More about Kurtis L....

What do you love about your job?

I love being able to meet new people every day and hear their stories as well as use photography as a way to continue to tell them. I love to capture the character and personalities of my subjects, whether is be a person, a house, or anything else.

What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?

I have done many portrait and real estate photoshoots in my career and there have been several things that have made them special. Drone photography, specifically for real estate, allows me to showcase the world and the uniqueness of houses and the land around them from a unique perspective that is mostly inaccessible to the human eye. Drone photography is extremely unique because of this and it has been one of my favorite styles of photography. For portrait photography, I love to find unique angles that show a unique perspective. One example of this was a photoshoot I did for a musician, where I found a unique opening in a fence on stage to shoot a shot looking up at him and his guitar. Perspectives like these are the ones that I believe truly wow their subjects and it makes them really special for me.

Awards, honors, and recognitions received

I haven't won any awards for my photography yet, but I have only been expanding my presence behind the camera for a year or two, so I believe that there are still many more to come!

A fun fact about this photographer

I am currently at the University of Nevada, Reno studying computer science engineering. I am also currently in flight school for my private pilot license. I haven't met many people that are both engineers and photographers, so I think that is a unique property about me, being both technical and creative at the same time.
