Hi, I’m Ethan Watt — a photographer & videographer based in Northeast Ohio.

I’ve been creating visual work ever since I was in elementary school, where I first started experimenting with cameras, short films, and storytelling. For years, creativity was the thing I returned to again and again, even while I took a different academic path in college the past 2.5 years pursuing engineering in college.

I eventually made the decision to fully commit to photography, video, and media production on a professional level. I’ve developed a focus on fashion, editorial, and portrait photography, building a portfolio of shoots ranging from portraits to on-location editorial work. My work was recently published in LYBELL Magazine as the cover of their 223rd issue, marking one of the first of many milestones in establishing myself in the industry.

What sets my work apart from others is my approach: aggressive flash and cinematic lighting, intentional styling, and the goal of creating images that feel like stills from a film - dramatic, expressive, and alive.

Alongside these personal projects, I’m also producing video content for local organizations and public figures, including promotional media work for Main Street Kent and political campaigns.

Whether it’s portraits, events, fashion, music, or professional headshots, I approach every shoot with the same focus - creating images that feel intentional, expressive, and alive. I’m currently booking new clients and would love to work with you.
