A career built around curiosity.
Commercial Photographer · Creative Director
About Berty
I began photographing seriously while studying at the University of Washington and quickly became drawn to the intersection of travel, storytelling, and commercial work.
Over the years, that curiosity grew into a career photographing campaigns, destinations, people, and products for brands and tourism partners around the world. Along the way, I co-founded The Mandagies with my wife, Emily, building an independent travel publication around original photography, destination storytelling, and a deep love of the Pacific Northwest.
Today, I bring that same sense of curiosity to every assignment — whether I’m directing a commercial campaign, photographing a destination, or creating something personal.
The Mandagies
In 2016, my wife Emily and I founded The Mandagies, an independent travel publication focused on the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
What began as a place to share our photography and travel stories grew into a platform reaching millions of travelers through destination guides, brand partnerships, photography, and social storytelling.
