Cinematic art direction & Brand photography in Central Virginia
Handmade Custom Flags • Commercial Product Photography • Film Wardrobe Styling, Props & Casting
From heritage brands to historical films, each project is rooted in reverence for process, beauty in utility, and the enduring mark of human hands. As an on-set Art Director, I shape the tangible details that give stories their depth—from historical costuming and wardrobe fitting to props, casting, and production stills. I bring that same gritty, cinematic eye to commercial brands and period film productions alike.

Brand Photography & Video
Evocative Lifestyle Imagery and Process-Driven Photography
Our product photography is more than just an image - it’s a feeling. We capture the grit in well-worn leather, the weight of hand-forged steel, the quiet poetry of linen catching the light. Every photograph tells a story, rich with texture, depth, and the hands that shaped it.

Cinematic Stills & Set Design
Visual Storytelling and Art Direction for Motion Pictures
We bring a raw, editorial eye to the screen. From the dust of historic battlefields to quiet, behind-the-scenes character studies, we capture production stills and shape environments that feel alive. We document a gritty, cinematic reality where every texture, shadow, and frame tells a definitive story.
One foot in history.

Crafting the Past with Care
In Lynchburg at War, I’ve stepped into another century. Sourcing fabric that holds weight, building props that feel worn by time, and framing scenes that echo with memory.
This work is an extension of what Makers Workshop stands for: reverence for the handmade, for the overlooked details, for the quiet labor that shapes both story and soul. Here, on-set costuming isn’t a costume—it’s clothing with a past. A worn nail isn’t just a prop—it’s a relic, rebuilt. Working as a dedicated local costumer, prop master, and set dresser, this is history felt through craft.
Custom brand flags
made to carry your story, not just your name
-
I work with sustainably sourced hemp, prized for its durability, rich character, and tactile texture. Each piece is hand-dyed to achieve deep, nuanced tones that age beautifully over time.
Every flag is finished with heavy brass grommets and a brass Issued by Makers Workshop tag.
Weatherproof hemp rope and organic fabric wax are available as optional additions.
-
Every heritage banner is crafted from start to finish entirely by hand—meticulously dyed, hand-painted, and sewn with care. This slow, intentional approach ensures each custom piece is completely unique and carries the distinct visual identity of the brand it represents.
-
I collaborate closely with businesses, workshops, and creative spaces to design bespoke flags that articulate their unique narrative. From historical imagery to a curated color palette, every detail is tailored to create a functional piece that works seamlessly as both commercial signage and heirloom art.
Pricing varies depending on the complexity of the design requested.
