Meet the Photographer

 

Hey, I'm Kyle!

 

I was born and raised in Southern California and moved to Chicago to study theatre in 2017. I’ve been here ever since, and now I call Chicago home.



I’ve always had a camera on me, but being an actor is what eventually led me to photographing other actors, dancers, and artists. Photography has become another way for me to work with and be a part of the creative community that I love most.

How I work


Coming from an acting background, I understand how vulnerable and awkward it can feel to be in front of a camera. One of my biggest focuses is creating a comfortable, collaborative space where you feel safe to explore! My goal is to take the pressure off so we can create something that feels honest and like you.

Why I do this


I love photography!

:D

Fun Facts about me



My last name is spelt "Bode", but it's pronounced "boh-DEE". Most people say it the way it's spelt, but my high school principal called me "Kyle Body" when I walked at graduation. Pick your poison!


I'm a huge fan of ice hockey and my sweet pup, Saoirse. If you're lucky, you might even meet her in the studio!

 

now, I wanna know about you!

 

What do you have in mind?
