1. Emily Miller

When a hobby on the weekends becomes an area of expertise, it is a definite testimony of unmatched skill. Emily Miller’s venture into food photography is something we definitely are glad for, with many mouthwatering recipes taking life in her lens. 

Miller’s exploration is on two levels, whether the recipe is simple, complex, elegant, or regular comfort food. First, the recipe, and second, the photography and technique. She’s also proven herself a valuable partner for food and beverage brands for years. As someone who cooks and tastes what she photographs, the level of realism and trust in her work is unsurprising. Miller is your best possible pick as an amazing Tucson commercial photographer if you have a food and beverage-based enterprise.

2. Erik Hinote

Several contrasting specialties come together to broadcast Erik Hinote’s impressive range of work. On the one hand, we see expansive villas shot for real estate companies, while on the other, bikes and cars racing down the road or sleekly lined up at a showroom. He’s built himself something of a niche of shooting for high-end car dealerships — the kind of work that helps those companies sell more vehicles.

When he’s not photographing spaces and vehicles, it is the expanses of cities and real estate construction sites or the smiles of blushing brides on their special day that take center stage. Hinote’s versatility makes him unique and definitely someone who can cater to multiple needs, no matter the size of your business. 

3. Chris Mooney

Whether in his stylish 6th street studio or on-location, Chris Mooney’s a jack of all photographic trades. He provides various photography and videography services for businesses of all sizes, from executive headshots to product photography and brand imagery. He even gets it done for industrial and technical shoots, pumping product photography for catalogs, all of which require the ability to produce work efficiently at a high volume.

In short, he’s adaptable and flexible, and that comes with experience, technical expertise, and strong creative instincts. Mooney has also made a good name for himself among Tucson commercial photographers, and it’s well-deserved.

4. Carlos Chavez

Carlos Chavez is a Tucson commercial photographer proficient at clicking both headshots and real estate properties. We found his architecture and interiors work particularly interesting. It is not easy to capture the original designer’s vision in a photograph and accurately convey the spatial vibes of a space. And yet, Chavez pulls it off with elan.

His photographs breathe beauty, making any space—commercial or residential—stand out from the regular architectural snaps we are so used to seeing. If your real estate business is in need of a photographer who can make any property listing look lucrative, give Chavez a call!  

5. Jaime Williams

Jaime Williams is easily one of the most versatile photographers we’ve come across. While her portraiture and landscape photography are breathtaking, it’s her interior and architectural photography that really wows her clients. Williams always delivers beyond the brief. Her portfolio includes Tucson’s gorgeous natural landscapes, commercial spaces, and minute details like table settings and corner ornaments.

Her pictures always look authentic in a world of artifice and heavy editing. Whether it is the soft use of strobe, or letting in natural light, or adding unfiltered colors, Williams finds a way to nail any composition. While this Tucson commercial photographer can master any niche, when it comes to businesses revolving around tourism or interior design, Williams is an obvious pick. 

6. Benjamin Sisco

Tucson product photographer Benjamin Sisco’s work speaks for itself. He doesn’t simply photograph products — he often finds some visual element and tries to visually amplify that feature or characteristic, leading to some powerful, visually stunning explorations. 

You can be sure that your product is showcased exactly as the hero it is. That rare skill, along with his stunning artistry, makes Sisco one of the best Tucson commercial photographers in the field today.

7. Donna Marie

Donna Marie’s warm and intimate way of clicking photographs is something that makes the experience of working with her wonderful. Her Instagram handle is a generous mix of commercial work, from headshots to interiors and landscape photography. 

We also get the incredible behind-the-scenes glimpses of how Marie conducts her shoots and the experiences her clients have, and the way she creates marketing magic. True to her company’s name, Genuine Photography, Marie’s impressive interior and real estate photography is as genuine as it gets — bright, authentic, and unapologetically unfiltered.  

8. Shannon Christine

Shannon Christine’s commercial photography spans several genres. It includes love, life, and family, to more traditional offerings, like portraits and brand photography for small businesses. But what we love in particular is the sense of natural stillness that pervades almost all her photographs. 

Christine’s work in food photography lends a comfortable sense of detail and captures their preparations. From relishing a warm cup of coffee to beating and preparing a creamy latte or even setting up a meal, we get the feeling that it’s more than just food. It’s also the experience she drives home. Christine’s enviable skill allows her to make her audience crave what’s in her photos and the whole experience. 

9. Steven Meckler

Whether it is a classic, cinematic style poster, or a stylish rendition of someone in their element, Steven Meckler takes portrait photography to new levels. Much of Meckler’s work is editorial, and that communicative style bleeds through into all of his commercial work. So, yes, your executive headshot could be a straightforward blank background portrait. However, you could instead allow Meckler to tell a story. By taking the interest and the time to build the setting around them, dressing to suit the part, and taking a photograph, Meckler proves that commercial photography needn’t always be so formal.

In Meckler’s work, one look is enough to understand his subjects and their personalities. When you don’t just want to take a picture, but actually tell your story in a single frame, Meckler is the Tucson commercial photographer to count on. 

10. Josh Wallace

Josh Wallace’s work is literally art using light. Whether he’s taking drone shots of a city or a massive commercial establishment, or portraits of musical artists and performers in their element, Wallace manages to bring a gorgeous color palette and stunning photography to the table. 

Wallace’s commercial work defies pigeonholing. We can only say that if playing with portraits, space, light, color, and dark in the most creative impactful fashion possible is what you’re expecting, Wallace can make it happen. In fact, his explorations lead him to visually stunning results. So if you’re running an offbeat commercial enterprise, his creative energy will match your vision perfectly.
