MEET EVAN

business branding portrait man in black, Palm Springs business photographer

I grew up in this desert, and the stark beauty of the Coachella Valley has always shaped how I see the world. Joshua Tree holds a deeply personal space in my life. It's where I take my two kids to look at the boulders, clear my head, and find quiet. To me, it's not just a backdrop; it's a place of peace, beauty, love and serenity.


With a BA in Painting and minor in Photography, my obsession has always been with composition, aesthetics, and how a single frame can tell a whole story. I apply that fine art eye to your day a little differently.


I don't do 90 minutes of stiff posing or make you recreate Pinterest. I direct, I don't pose. I put you in the best light, give you something real to do - walk, talk, hold on, keep moving - and then I get out of your interaction and document what happens.

I love witnessing the genuine, unscripted energy of two people committing to each other.


My goal is an honest record of your day - raw emotion, deep desert contrast, and real moments - so you have visual poetry to look back on that still feels like you in 20 years.


P.S. I also shoot music and artist work - music videos totaling over 275K views, press photos, and desert editorial. Same eye, different canvas. Artists can find that work here: Eye Of Evan music videos




Beneath the cameras and technical training, the truth is simple: I love love.
