Nashville · Creative Direction + Photography

Content that looks like you hired a creative director.

Because you did. One creative with the eye and range of a whole team. I build the concept, direct it, shoot it, and hand you finished photo and video content.

Selected Work

The work speaks first.

Editorial, lifestyle, and brand photography shot on location across Nashville and beyond. A creative eye applied to whatever the brand needs to become.

The Person Behind It

One creative. The whole picture.

I'm Chayton Wells, a photographer, model, and creative director based in Nashville, working with brands anywhere. Raised in Colorado on wide open land and big skies, shaped by editorial and fashion work in front of the camera before I moved behind it. I know how to direct a subject because I have been the subject.

Most brands hand a photographer a product and hope for the best. I work like a creative director. I design the concept, handle the direction and production, shoot it, and deliver finished images and video, so your brand looks intentional instead of assembled.

No junior associates. No templates. You get one creative with the range of a whole team, and work that looks like it belongs at the top of your market.

What I Do

Three capabilities. One creative running all of it.

Fresh creative direction, brought to life through photography and short-form video. You get finished content, ready to use, that looks like it belongs at the top of your market.

01 / Direction

Creative Direction

I design the concept from scratch. The mood, the story, the aesthetic. You approve the vision before a single frame is shot.

02 / Stills

Photography

Editorial photography that makes your brand the moment, not a flat catalog shot. Finished, fully edited, delivered fast.

03 / Motion

Short-Form Video

Scroll-stopping reels and short-form built for how people actually watch. Concepted and shot to match the whole look.

How I Work

Simple from day one.

01

The Concept

I build the creative direction around your brand. You see and approve the vision before we shoot. No stitching together a photographer, a stylist, and an editor who've never met.

02

The Production

Whatever the shoot needs, I handle it. Styling a plate, working the light in your space, or sourcing models and a location when the brand calls for it. You don't coordinate anyone.

03

The Shoot

One creative directing every frame, photo and video, so the whole set feels like a campaign instead of a folder of pictures.

04

The Delivery

A finished set of edited photos and short-form video within days, ready to use everywhere. You own it. Use it however you want.
