Commercial Photography, Reconsidered.
Beautiful commercial photography shouldn't be reserved for the biggest brands, the largest agencies, or the most expensive productions.
Studio Torgerson makes exceptional commercial photography more accessible — without making it ordinary.
I work with people, businesses, brands, institutions, and places of all kinds. From independent properties and local businesses to established companies and global brands, I believe creative care should be available to anyone with something worth sharing.
I don't believe in saving the best creative work for the people with the biggest budgets.
The scale of the client may change. The project may change. The budget may change.
The standard does not.
My approach begins with the camera, the light, the place, and the ability to see what is already there.
No AI-generated photography. No manufactured environments. No need to make something look real when the real thing is worth photographing.
Just natural, intentional photography made with skill and a distinct point of view.
Hire Studio Torgerson
Bring me your hotel, restaurant, museum, interior, destination, product, campaign, brand, or story.
Hotels & Hospitality
From boutique hotels and independent gems to resorts, chalets, heritage properties, eco-conscious and sustainable stays, and established hotel brands.
Studio Torgerson generally works with properties rated three stars and above as a practical baseline for professional guest-facing standards. Exceptional two-star properties may also be considered where local hotel classifications, regional economies, and standards differ — because a meaningful place is not defined by a number alone.
Museums & Culture
Museums, galleries, historic properties, exhibitions, collections, and cultural institutions.
Brands & Campaigns
Commercial photography for brands launching, rebranding, growing, or ready to be seen differently — from individual campaign assets to broader visual libraries and brand imagery.
Food & Restaurants
From Michelin-recognized dining rooms and destination restaurants to trend-led restaurants, independent businesses, and restaurants serving regional and international cuisines — as well as local cafés, bakeries, delis, markets, and neighborhood institutions.
The setting can be polished or humble. What matters is the experience, the character, and the care behind it.
Architecture & Interiors
Spaces, buildings, design, materials, furniture, hospitality interiors, residential projects, retail environments, and the details that make a place itself.
Travel & Place
Destinations, tourism, cities, landscapes, cultural experiences, hidden gems, and the places people travel across the world to discover.
Custom Photography
Assignments from $750
Every assignment is different.
A local café campaign, a boutique hotel, a heritage property, a museum collection, and an international brand campaign can require very different approaches.
Custom projects are quoted according to the scope of the assignment, including creative needs, shooting time, locations, deliverables, image usage and licensing, production requirements, and travel.
The $750 starting point creates an accessible entry into professional commercial photography while allowing larger assignments to scale appropriately.

We Travel.
Studio Torgerson is based in Wisconsin and available for domestic and international assignments.
You can bring me to you, with travel arranged or incorporated into the project, or I may independently travel to a place that I believe is worth photographing.
Depending on the assignment, travel may be client-arranged, incorporated into the project fee, or covered through another mutually agreed travel or accommodation arrangement.
The right approach depends on the project, the client, and the work itself.
Because the next assignment could be anywhere.
A heritage property in County Mayo.
A hotel in London.
A restaurant in Rome.
A museum in Copenhagen.
A boutique hotel in Mumbai.
A café in Singapore.
A hidden road in Turkey.
A city preparing to tell its next story.
You never quite know where the camera will take you.
And that's part of the fun.
Photography With a Point of View.
Studio Torgerson brings a distinct Scandinavian and North Atlantic sensibility to every assignment while allowing the character of the place, people, and brand to remain visible.
The goal isn't to manufacture perfection.
It's to reveal what makes something worth noticing.
To create images that make someone think:
I want to be there.
I want to know this place.
I want to work with this brand.
I want to see what happens next.
That's commercial photography worth making.
Lens of Light. Heart of Home.
