What People Are Saying

 

A few years ago, we came across Jakob's work through his Instagram which immediately caught our eye. We reached out to enlist him for a project that we were working on. After seeing what he captured for the first round, we quickly knew that Jakob understood the essence of the project and more importantly the brand. Ever since, we've leaned on Jakob to help us capture more content, both stills and video, that encapsulate the brand and our message.

I'm consistently impressed with Jakob's photography. His flexibility, attention to detail, and keen eye mean that we always have top quality photos for our ads, email marketing, and social when we need them. Jakob is great at following specific directions and implementing feedback, or taking vague ideas and running with them to create something fresh while staying on-brand. We're so glad he "gets" us and that we get to work with him for our creative!
