Above Gallery & Featured Image: Ashley Gieseking | Workbook portfolio
Ashley Gieseking is a commercial photographer with 15 years of experience producing high-end photography for Fortune 500s, international publications, small businesses, and everything in between. In addition to running her own shop, she splits her creative energy between photographing snakes in the studio, and documenting her travels with her partner and fellow artist, Chris. It’s not rare to find her on set – finessing light, styling ingredients, and attempting to speak Spanish with her crew.
Michael Clark | Workbook portfolio
Michael Clark is a commercial photographer/director who has been called the, “Indiana Jones of Adventure Photography.” Client list includes Apple, Adobe, and Nike to name a few. Michael likes high adventure and is passionate about every project he gets to be a part of.
Patrick Heagney | Workbook portfolio
Patrick is a lifestyle and portrait photographer who creates playful, moving, and elegant images for aspirational brands, businesses, the healthcare industry, and artists. Clients include Bank of America, Georgia Pacific, and American Express.
In addition to assignment work he enjoys pursuing personal projects. My fancy art-photography is represented by Kai Lin Art in Atlanta. When not doing any of the above you can usually find him listening to his son explain something he saw on YouTube, playing banjo, or accumulating cats (most of whom don’t really seem to care for the banjo music).
Alberto Oviedo | Workbook portfolio
Alberto Oviedo is a photographer/ director creating lived-in worlds shaped by cinematic depth, emotional connection, and a strong commercial point of view. While studying advertising, Alberto discovered photography’s ability to connect brands with people through emotion and story. He picked up his grandfather’s Olympus camera, moved to the United States, and never looked back. Today, Alberto works as a commercial photographer and director, collaborating with agencies and brands to create lived-in worlds where strategy, emotion, and lasting connection come together.

Dylan Priest | Workbook portfolio
Dylan Priest is a commercial photographer and cinematographer based in Seattle, Washington. For over two decades, he’s been shooting lifestyle and brand work that feels like it was captured rather than constructed — natural light, real people, and a quiet confidence in letting the moment do the work. His clients include Microsoft, Starbucks, GQ Magazine, the Wall Street Journal, American Eagle Outfitters, and Sur La Table, among others. He’s shot in studio and on location, from editorial spreads to national advertising campaigns. Dylan operates his own studio in Seattle’s SoDo neighborhood — 750 square feet with 19-foot ceilings, ideal for portrait, product, and smaller video productions. He’s available for projects throughout the Pacific Northwest and worldwide. When he’s not on set, you’ll find him riding bikes with his twin daughters.
