About Us

A Little Bit About Us: 

Our Mission is to
• tell stories in a compelling way that engages and moves an audience
• provide deliverables a client can’t wait to share and do it with addictive customer service
• make work we are proud of — and have fun doing it; life is too short to do otherwise

Philosophy
Large or small, we take your job seriously. It’s your money. Your brand. Your investment. We bring our best for every client.

Our Team
Erik Stenbakken has an eye for light and an ear for story. He’s been making pictures that entertain, inform, and inspire for over 25 years. He has had images published on thousands of magazine covers, brochures, postcards, billboards, and websites. His ability to capture engaging imagery and content extends into creating videos that move audiences of every type. The Stenbakken Media team also includes a first assistant and a tried-and-true team of contractors to make your vision come to life.

Kit
Nearly everything needed for studio or field production is owned and in-house for both still and video. SM keeps their work high quality with current model digital equipment. If you’re interested in what we’re currently bringing to the table, we’ll be happy to send you a complete (and updated) list. Technology is constantly changing, and our kit with it.

Locations
Stenbakken Media has a modest studio with 12’ overhead door, but is set up to make your location THE location for either stills or motion. From sound treated walls to backgrounds aplenty, we’ve got it covered.

Collaboration
For projects where more resources are needed, Stenbakken Media has an extensive list of connections that can provide our team additional eyes, brains, and equipment on the job. As a founding (and now former) partner of Clear Summit Productions, Stenbakken still has connections!

Lectures and Continuing Education
Erik Stenbakken has lectured across the US and internationally on the business, art, and technical aspects of photography. Groups range from professional trade organizations and university-level credited classes to personal workshops.
