Dartise Photography bio picture

Welcome to my world

I've been blessed to be called a television news Emmy award winning videographer who has worked in the tv news industry his entire career. My creative eye allows me the oppourtunity to capture mesmerizing images documenting the love, laughter, and life of all that passes in front of my lens. I just wanna share my images and my thoughts with the rest of the world....

Day at the Races

This post is a tad bit late, but I decided to go ahead and share with you all.
I had the opportunity the other day to participate in a fundraiser with Tasha Ransom and The Hoffman Estates Links, Inc.. The Hoffman Estates Links are a service organization that sponsors numerous charitable, educational and cultural programs that benefit the African American community.
The event, which is held at the Hawthorne Race track in Cicero, Illinois, hosts more than 300 guests and raises in excess $30,000. I think that’s pretty AWESOME.

Enjoy a few images from that day:

Simply Natalie

As the great fall weather that we love began to disappear, Natalie met me just west of downtown Chicago for a photo shoot. The day was ending/the light was soft and Natalie was more than willing to spread her wings and fly past my lenses in my attempt to capture her essence. She climbed fences and crawled through bushes in order to grab THAT SHOT! She was more than amazing to work with. Please enjoy some images from our shoot:
