My name is Chais and I’m a commercial photographer based in Phoenix, Arizona. My primary focus is on food, beverage, interior, and product photography. Having worked in the food and beverage industry for over 13 years, I’ve developed a deep appreciation not only for what’s on the plate, but for the people and stories behind it.

With a background rooted in hospitality, my approach combines an understanding of atmosphere and storytelling with an eye for color, composition, and playful lighting. Above all, I care about helping brands tell their story in a way that feels true to them.
