Hello! I'm Alek Crawford—director, photographer, and visual storyteller from Chicago.
My work is rooted in a deep respect for the moments that go unseen. I believe the most powerful stories are found in truth, movement, and subtle emotion—the things you can’t script but can feel. Whether I’m behind the camera or guiding a vision, I’m here to create with intention, not just execution.
I’ve had the privilege of working across a diverse portfolio, from film, photography, and branded content. From quite portraits to chaotic sets. This hands-on experience has made me a trusted name in Chicago, with a reputation for reliability and excellence.
Among the esteemed clients I’ve had the privilege to work with are industry leaders like Amazon Business, Google, and Nike — a reflection of my ability to deliver impactful, high-quality imagery that meets the demands of fast-paced, high-profile environments. But my work extends far beyond major corporations. I’m equally passionate about partnering with small, local, and family-owned businesses — businesses like my own — that are the true backbone of our economy. I approach every project, whether for a global brand or a neighborhood shop, with the same level of care, creativity, and attention to detail, capturing the heart and soul of each client’s unique story.
Whether you need dynamic video content or captivating photographs, I’m here to bring your vision to life with professionalism and creativity. Let’s create something extraordinary together!
