Hello, I’m Colton Bentley. I specialize in real estate and interior design photography, combining creative vision with a deep understanding of the interior and hospitality industries. With a background in the tourism industry, I also have experience in travel photography and photojournalism, allowing me to bring a dynamic perspective to every project.

My experience spans photography, staging, graphic design, social media management, printed advertising, and more, allowing me to lead a full-service media studio tailored to hospitality brands. Holding a degree in Commercial Recreation & Tourism Management from Appalachian State University, and specializing in luxury travel logistics for the past three years, I bring a comprehensive understanding of hospitality tourism. From the logistical and administrative aspects of the industry to the creative vision necessary for digital marketing success, I am dedicated to helping your brand stand out.

My journey in photography began at the age of 15 when I worked on a documentary photo book. After selling the book and donating the proceeds to refugees in the country where I was living, I realized photography was more than a passion—it was my calling. Over the years, as life has evolved, photography has remained a constant source of inspiration and purpose.

I’m available for travel and welcome creative projects of all kinds.
