POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
So I have a bunch of new followers, so let me reintroduce myself.

My name is Austin, and I’m a fashion and lifestyle photographer based between Wilmington and NYC with a strong editorial influence, always trying to push concepts a little further when possible. Sometimes that means polished and surreal, sometimes it means simple and real. I love both equally!

A lot of what I shoot generally revolves around brands, boutiques, restaurants, and seasonal campaigns, but at the center of all of it is storytelling. I’m less interested in creating something that feels rinse-and-repeat and more interested in creating imagery that actually feels connected to the identity of the person, brand, or space in front of me.

I’m heavily inspired by contrast—visually and creatively. My work can shift from realism to flash-heavy surrealism (depending on the concept) but I always want it to feel intentional. Fashion, to me, should feel like an extension of identity rather than just clothing being worn in front of a camera.

I’m also very hands-on creatively. I’ll direct posing, movement, energy, lighting—whatever’s needed to bring a concept to life while still making people feel comfortable in the process! I try to bring a calm, approachable energy to every shoot while still helping guide the vision with confidence.

Lately, I’ve been moving toward more elevated and out-of-the-box concepts creatively. The goal is always to create something memorable while still feeling authentic to whoever I’m working with.

And outside of photography, there’s a very good chance house music is playing somewhere in the background while I’m editing (or at @_soundwavves 😉).

If you’re new here, welcome home. I’d love to create with you and I can’t wait for you all to see what’s to come.

Rain on your wedding day, as many know, is a sign of good luck. As Leah and Jason embraced the circumstances on Saturday, I feel as if it made their day even more special. From their ceremony under a live oak to the details of their reception and all the small moments in-between, it was absolutely unforgettable.

Congratulations, Leah and Jason! 💍

food+bev//fortuna, fall menu

For their first fall menu, I chose to deliberately add more warmth and moodiness to my style to translate the feeling of the season. If you haven’t been yet, I recommend trying to one or two (or the whole menu).

We’re working through the red tape, crossing our T’s, and dotting our I’s. We’re opening soon!

While our name might be Burger Street, we bring a fresh concept inspired by our sister restaurant @forkncorkilm. Featuring a limited menu of burgers and hot dogs, there is something for everyone!

We have every intention of being open by Fall Fest, so make sure to follow us as we get closer to our opening date!
