PITTSBURGH COMMERCIAL PHOTOGRAPHER & VIDEOGRAPHER
About
Ian Jones
I'm a commercial photographer, videographer, and creative strategist based in Pittsburgh, PA. For the past 10+ years I've been building brands through cinematic visuals — product photography, food photography, video production, drone aerials, UGC, and creative direction for businesses that actually care about how they show up.
I've shot viral content for a MrBeast and PetersPasta collaboration. I've been on set with Jay Leno and Little Big Town. I've built campaigns for Char-Broil, WeatherTech, and Arcade1Up. But I bring the same energy to a local Pittsburgh restaurant that I bring to a national brand. The standard doesn't change based on the budget.
I'm not an agency. I'm one person with a camera, a vision, and zero interest in making anything mediocre. I concept it, shoot it, edit it, and deliver it. When the project calls for a bigger crew, I have an in-house production team I can scale up with — but the creative direction always runs through me.
Approach
How I Work
I operate in two lanes. Locally, I serve Pittsburgh businesses, restaurants, medical practices, and commercial operations across Western PA with photography, video, and creative strategy. Nationally, brands ship their products to my studio and I send back polished, ready-to-use content — or I travel to them when the project is a fit.
I'm not just the person behind the camera. I think about your customer, your platform, your competition, and what kind of content actually drives results before I ever press the shutter. That's the difference between hiring a photographer and hiring a creative partner who understands marketing.
