Hi. I’m Roddy. I’m a photographer and director currently based in Boulder, CO ☀️. Things I like: spontaneous camping trips, things made by hand, books without too many words, and trains. I’m a kid at heart and that will never change.

My job is to take notice, and my work aims to shine light on the magic in the everyday. My efforts to do this have been recognized by The New Yorker, The Atlantic, Fast Company, The Webby Awards, Vimeo (back when it was cool), and my mom.

In a past life I co-founded a creative agency in Brooklyn called Snowday (now None Other), largely serving the video needs of Google. After stepping away from the agency, I’m now working on select branded and independent projects. Let’s make something special together.
