Authentic. Unposed. LowKei.

  • Investing in the Craft

    At LowKei Photography, my philosophy has always been quality over quantity. I believe in capturing authentic moments and delivering images that stand the test of time.

    As an independent photographer, every piece of equipment—from the camera body to the hosting for this website—is an investment in that philosophy.

    I am currently working toward a significant equipment upgrade to expand what I can offer in 2026. While bookings are the primary way I fund this business, I’ve opened up a way for supporters of the brand to contribute directly to the studio’s growth.

    If my work has inspired you, or if you simply want to support independent art in the Tennessee Valley, consider making a contribution. It all goes back into the lens.

    Thank you for believing in the vision.

    The Garage Wait: Why We’re Holdin’ Out for Heat

    If you’re a car enthusiast in the South, you know the struggle right now. The builds are sitting in the garage, the battery tenders are plugged in, and we’re all just staring at the calendar waiting for temperatures to break 60 degrees.

    At LowKei Photography, we’ve hit the pause button on outdoor automotive shoots, and here is why: Quality.

    Sure, we could shoot in the cold. But the “LowKei” aesthetic is about clean lines and dramatic lighting. It’s hard to get that perfect “roller” shot when the roads are grey and the trees are bare. Plus, nobody wants to debut their fresh detail job just to get hit with road salt and mud five minutes down the road.

    We are using this downtime to scout new industrial locations in Chattanooga and prep our gear for the busy season.

    The good news? Spring is right around the corner. The golden hour hits differently in April, and we want to be there when you finally pull the cover off.

    Get on the list. We are already fielding inquiries for Spring 2026. If you have a build you want captured, reach out now so we can lock in your date as soon as the sun comes back out.

    Clean ‘em up. We’ll see you on the road soon.

    Now I Have Hit the Ground Running.

    I am off to a great start in building out the web server and setting up the content management system (CMS) to deliver dynamic content to the users.

    So Far No Complaints

    No complaints about files not being available for download – all good in my book.
