ABOUT ILO (ee-l-o)

Born in Hamburg (Altona), Germany I spent my early years inspecting everything from the ground to the sky, life on a farm. I landed in the USA, fumbled in the suburbs and cut my teeth on gritty Manhattan. I spent more than fifteen years in the Cable TV industry wearing a corporate hat working for entertainment giants like Viacom and Showtime. From 1995 to 2010 I ran my own business “creating” professional websites and software applications, with a focus on nonprofits and giving back. I have a long history in technology and throughout the years I’ve worked extensively with other people’s “images”.

In 2009 I transitioned into the business of photography. An autodidact, I have a wealth of courses and workshops under the tutorage of professional photographers to enhance my technical and creative skill sets. Every day for me is a study in this fine art of photography. I draw heavily on the best practices garnered from professional organizations, industry experts and years of running my own business. My work has shown around Seattle, in a number of galleries and has been published in print and online.

Be it a stunning landscape, the beautiful lines of an architectural masterpiece, or the worn, weathered lines on a homeless man's face — the goal, always, is to create a connection to people and place — images that fully represent and support your mission.Nowadays my focus centers more on personal projects and exploring all that the Pacific Northwest has to offer. My number one passion is the regenerative nature that comes from hiking and backpacking trips into the mountains, desert plains and coastal regions.All-in-all, the labels I've accumulated in life say I’m an explorer, a music lover, an art lover, a solo dancer, a mountain girl, a forest nymph, a picture taker, a data wrangler, and a lover of life's imperfect moments.
