Dane Thomas, is a photographer and casual linguaphile based in Chicago.

My work spans across documentary-style storytelling, portraiture, fashion & beauty. Previously a product designer and strategy consultant, my background is uniquely positioned at the intersection of art and business. This influences how I approach, produce, and lead each client job - from beginning to end. Today though, I focus on capturing honest and immersive visual stories. With each project my goal is simply to be kind, be impactful, and help my clients leave a little extra beauty in the world.


Let's work together.
