Kalman & Pabst Photography
Craig Brown
Ad Photographer & Business Owner — 23 years of helping restaurants, retailers and product makers create desire through photography
Ask Craig how to take food shots that sizzle, product shots that sell and portraits that turn human connection into brand affiliation. "Nothing can connect your brand to customers like the right photo." Ask him about any of a number of visual brand driving services Kalman & Pabst provides. His outstanding team of professionals excels at still photography, retouching, video and CGI. Veteran photographer, key jester, wildlife observer, and creative environmental activist, when Craig Brown is on the shoot, some good shit is about to go down. Since he stole his parent’s 35mm camera in the 4th grade to stalk birds at the bird feeder outside their home, Craig has always been in his element: outdoors, with nature, camera in hand, with a blazing vision to get after it. 27 years later, that explorative spirit and bold perspective drives his camera and the work of his team to create work that exceeds client expectations and work that sets them apart. Co-Owner of Kalman & Pabst for the past 6 years, nothing satisfies Craig more than producing great work while having a great time. It’s that he does.
