I have established Esther J Kontny Photography out of my drive to turn my passion into a full time job. After experimenting with several popular genres within the field, I have found that I get the most excitement out of joining with other creatives and entrepreneurs to help their brands come to life. My goal is to create impactful imagery that tells your brand story through food, product and lifestyle.

“Esther is an incredibly talented photographer, has such a sweet personality, is so easy to work with and perfectly captured the vision of what we were needing in photos.”
— Hannah Williams, From Savor & Swirl

As an artist first, my work doesn’t start at the camera it starts with the right ideas. When it comes to working with my clients I want to allow their vision to be the driving factor. By transforming the right ideas with the right lighting, styling and photography skills, the subject can shine. Resulting in beautiful, honest imagery that reflects your brand.

I have over 5 years of experience in commercial photography working with clients like Hallmark and Dairy Farmers of America. As well as 6+ years shooting for cafes and restaurant to capture beautiful menu photography and fun lifestyle images that tell their brand story.
