ABOUT CHRIS VOELTNER
Creative Work With Intention
With nearly a decade of experience in creative direction and media production, I help brands look sharp and tell better stories through photography, videography, design, and content strategy.
As the founder of Emberest Media and an independent creative, I bring a commitment to thoughtful, high-quality work — whether it's a commercial shoot, a brand identity, or a visual campaign. Every project starts with listening and ends with something you're proud to share.

Featured Work
I believe great creative work starts with listening — understanding the story before picking up the camera or opening the design file. Every project deserves intention, craft, and a result that speaks for itself.
