Nielsen Studios is all about creating powerful images that tell a story. But the description really can’t stop there. Yes, commercial photography is where it begins. I’ve honed my craft over 20+ years in the business. Photography is my passion and my true creative outlet (I’m pretty sure my killer stickmen drawing skills wouldn’t get me very far). But at a deeper level, Nielsen Studios is about ideas, and collaborating with you to find imaginative and compelling ways to tell your unique brand story (I think the fancy marketing term for that is “ideation”). Simply put, I know what it takes to create marketing-ready, conceptually powerful images that sell a message. This flows out of my passion for creative collaboration - I’m energized by the process of solving interesting marketing challenges with my clients. This process often takes me outside the traditional box of “photographer,” and beyond the typical “just tell me what to shoot” image creation relationship with my clients. Working as part of your team, I bring greater value to the process, and more than just photographs. That means your ideas find greater creative expression, and your brand story really sings.On a personal level, I’m just a regular down-to-earth, easy going, dry-humored, creative guy working hard to carve out my own place in a fun and challenging marketing world. Outside my studio door, I like music, road biking, archery and playing with my kids. I enjoy getting together to visit with clients and friends over coffee, or a good grilled burger.I’ve probably said too much already. After all, I’m a visual guy. I invite you to take a look at my portfolio and let the images do the talking. Then give me a call. I’d love to hear your story and visit about how we can bring your ideas to life.Best wishes!Shawn NielsenSpecialties: Commercial Photography that Tells a Story of people, animals, products, on location & in-studio.#Midwestern #Minnesota #Photographer
