About
/01. WHAT I DO
I am a visual artist, employing photography, make-up, and digital photo-editing to create and capture images for a wide range of clientele. My specialty is stylized portraiture, with an emphasis on actors, singers and models, as well as corporate and business related imagery. I approach each assignment with equal interest, since I feel it is a great privilege to work in varied facets of photography life.
/02. WHY I DO
I enjoy applying the makeup before I shoot, as it gives me time to fully analyse my subject’s features, in order to create a ‘beauty blueprint’ that establishes their best angles, to which I develop a custom lighting design. The other benefit to this up-close-and-personal exchange is the genuine rapport with my subjects before the photography session. Passion drives my work, so presenting strong visual-marketing images to my clients is truly exciting!

He has impeccable lighting and if he does your make-up too, you can’t possibly get a bad shot. But what I love about Korby the best is how much he cares that his clients are happy . He always goes the extra mile to please. I highly recommend him.”
