Fortis Photo
Chicago
Fortis Photo is a Chicago-based commercial studio specialising in product, food and lifestyle photography. Jeff creates beautifully crafted imagery for clients worldwide, such as Boston Beer Co, JBS Foods, Lidl, Tyson and Wine & Spirits.
His love for natural light, wether real or imagined, coupled with his desire to find authentic stories around food have been key ingredients in his work.
On shoot days, you will be in good hands. Jeff and his team at Fortis Photo offer a warm and collaborative environment focused on crafting each brand’s unique vision. His 4,000 sq ft facility (formerly a zinc foundry) houses an extensive prop collection, is well designed and was renovated with shooting in mind.
In this Spotlight, Jeff is showcasing some work from a recent project. “We’re lucky no one had to shake salt out of their hair after this cover shot! It was such a fun and fluid process working with the JBS Foods creative team. We had a great time mixing things up, from menu ideas to lighting, props and surfaces.”
