Not things.

I'm Cody

I create stories born from adventure. Usually involving early mornings, long miles, bad coffee and a camera that's seen better days. Chasing real moments in the field and letting the story unfold the way it's meant to.

My work

Product for Content

You provide the product. I create the content.

Every now and then I team up with brands in exchange for product. Real gear, real hunts and content you can actually use.

Good to know

Questions I get a lot

The honest answers on how I work, what it costs and how we can team up.

Is this your full time job?

Nope. I already have a full time creative job, so this is the work I do because I love it. That means I'm picky about the projects I take on, I plan shoots around my schedule, and I'm not trying to squeeze every dollar out of you.

How much do you charge?

Probably less than you think. I'm not an agency and I don't have a ton of overhead, so I keep my rates fair. Every project is different, so tell me what you need and I'll give you a straight number.

Are you open to negotiating?

Always. If the budget is tight, let's talk it out. I'd rather find something that works for both of us than lose a good project over a number.

Can we trade a hunt or gear instead of paying?

Sometimes. It doesn't happen on every project, but if the hunt or the gear makes sense for me, I'm in. Outfitters can trade a hunt and brands can trade product for content. We agree on the deliverables up front and put it in a simple written agreement. The product for content page has all the details.

What actually goes into a project?

A lot more than showing up with a camera. There's planning, scouting, travel and long days in the field, then hours of editing, color and sound before anything hits your inbox. A two minute film can be days of work behind the scenes.

What do I get at the end?

Edited photos and videos ready for your website, socials, ads and catalogs. We lock in exactly what's included and where you can use it before we start, so there are no surprises.

Do you only work with hunting brands?

Hunting and outdoor is where I spend most of my time, but I also shoot weddings and personal work. If there's a good story in it, I'm probably in.

Can you work with our brand guidelines?

For sure. Send over your guidelines, shot lists or creative direction and I'll work inside them. If you don't have any, I'll help you land on a look that fits your brand.
