MORGAN

Morgan Hochstetler—a photographer, video editor, and creative storyteller with over 25 years of experience behind the lens. I started photographing in 2004 and quickly found that the camera was more than a tool—it was a way to capture honest moments and connect with people.

Over the years, I’ve worked across a wide range of projects:

• Music & Live Performance – From the energy of the metal scene to intimate acoustic sets, I’ve shot concerts and band promos that capture the heart of a performance.

• Portrait & Lifestyle – Couples, families, and individuals trust me to create images that feel natural and true to who they are, not just posed.

• Creative Direction & Editing – Beyond still photography, I’m an experienced video editor and creative director. I’ve led projects for nonprofits like HeartSupport, helping them surpass 250,000 YouTube subscribers, and have produced content for organizations ranging from the Mighty Oaks Foundation to independent musicians.

My style blends documentary realism with a clean, modern edge. Whether I’m photographing a wedding, crafting a promo for a band, or shooting a personal portrait session, I focus on telling a story that will still resonate years from now.

When I’m not shooting, you’ll probably find me editing music videos, exploring new sounds (metalcore and post-hardcore are personal favorites), or spending time with my wife and our creative projects.

If you’re looking for photography that’s professional, collaborative, and rooted in authentic storytelling, I’d love to work with you.
