The Coldbrew Collection

Creative Portrait Photography by Tony Gist

I love making photographs that feel like the people in them—sometimes beautiful, sometimes dramatic, sometimes a little strange, and hopefully never boring.

This is a collection of some of my favorite portraits, creative experiments and moments from sessions throughout Phoenix and Arizona. Some started with carefully planned ideas. Others started with “Hey, what if we tried this?” and we figured out the rest along the way.

There isn't one particular style of person you need to be or a certain reason you need to step in front of my camera. Bring your personality, bring an idea if you have one, and let's see what we can create.

Want to Make Something?

You don't need to know exactly what you want before reaching out. Whether you're looking for a creative portrait, a new headshot, family photos, graduation pictures—or you just have a weird idea you want to try—I'd love to hear about it.
