Fortis Photo

Chicago

Jeff Dahlgren is the vision behind Fortis Photo, a Chicago-based commercial studio specialising in food and beverage photography.

Jeff’s love for natural light and the changing of seasons, coupled with his ability for story telling have been key ingredients to his work, pun intended!

A recent video from his portfolio showcases a refreshing summer drink. As light dances across the table, a refreshing lime cocktail is slowly revealed out of the darkness.

Some of Fortis Photo’s satisfied clients include Boston Beer Co, JBS Foods, Nuts on Clark and Pampered Chef. They rely on Jeff’s team to capture their own brand’s vision and style in a fun and collaborative environment.

On shoot days, you can experience his urban yet comfortable studio space, built out of an old foundry, a block from the Chicago river. His 4,000 sq ft photography studio is well designed, houses an extensive prop collection and was renovated with shooting in mind.
