Chad Dennis is a commercial portrait photographer based in Florida, known for creating quiet, commanding portraits of leaders, artists, and public figures. Recent work includes a feature portrait of Lee Smith, Executive Director of The Players Championship, for Chicago Golfers Digest, along with ongoing work supporting organisations such as Five Star Veterans Center, the Jacksonville Symphony, and Farah & Farah.

His client list includes the United Nations, the National Football League, Mayo Clinic, and The Guardian.

Working across editorial and commercial assignments, Chad brings a calm, intentional approach that allows subjects to settle into themselves—resulting in portraits that feel both immediate and enduring.

“When I approach a portrait session, I believe in the preeminence of authenticity and specificity. There are no square pegs or round holes, only unique form, gesture and expressiveness. Sensitivity to those temporal and fluid characteristics is the lion’s share of my work on an environmental portrait assignment.

My objective for any portraiture is the marriage of the subject and environment. Integration is the yeast in that marriage because I never just leave leftover space or a banal background beyond my person subjects. In my environmental portrait work, environment gives shape to the human subject as human subject gives shape to the environment. It’s a three dimensional compositional puzzle that is enhanced by colour, light and most importantly… gesture. Gesture is the intangible and unpredictable signature in the shape and movement of the places and people that I look to capture.

The process creates a compelling portrait that asks questions of the viewer and engages their attention on a deep level. Authentic and well chosen faces, figures and settings are what stimulate interest in commercial brands. I add value as a photographer by bringing all these essential elements together for my clients.”

Daniel Kellenberger's story started in Hong Kong in 1980, where his parents from Appenzell were stationed — a childhood between two very different worlds. After his Matura, he headed to Scotland to study film at the Edinburgh College of Art. While he started out wanting to direct, he quickly realised his true obsession was the camera and the power of a perfectly composed shot.

Back in Switzerland, he worked as a cameraman and editor before photography won him over. He loved that a single image let him be author, director, and lighting designer all at once. Going freelance in 2006, he spent years shooting for major Swiss newspapers and magazines.

After 12 years co-managing a studio, he returned to solo work in 2022. Today, from his studio in Stäfa, he focuses on cinematic portraits of actors, artists, and athletes, as well as landscape and architecture — work that recently earned him a place among Lürzer's Archive's 200 Best Photographers worldwide.
