Hey, I'm Ian!
I’m a photographer + videographer based out of Baltimore, MD, specializing in creative + cinematic imagery that leaves a lasting impression. I work with couples, brands, musicians, and businesses to tell impactful stories through photos and videos. Whether it’s documenting life’s biggest moments, creating engaging social media content, or directing dynamic music videos, I’m passionate about capturing powerful visuals that resonate and create lasting memories.
With 8+ years of experience as a creative entrepreneur, I’ve built my business from the ground up and continue to embrace this fulfilling journey. My goal is to make every client feel comfortable, empowered, and inspired throughout the process. The client experience is at the heart of everything I do, and I strive to create a genuine connection that brings out the best in every project.
When I’m not working, you’ll find me spending time with my family, writing heavy metalcore music, or going on nature walks. I also love hanging out with my dog, Birdie, and my cat, Chibi.

"We have hired Ian for three separate music video projects now, and could not be more pleased with the experiences from start to finish! Not only does he have an impeccable eye and artistic vision; he is also extremely easy and fun to work with. Ian has such a positive attitude, making everyone feel comfortable on set and in front of the camera. He has excellent communication skills, attention to detail, and creative energy. The results have been nothing short of amazing thanks to his talents."

“Ian hired me as a production assistant on a music video shoot that spanned a couple days. Ian was prompt, had clear communication, and was all around a joy to work with. Both days I was hired for started and ended on time and ran smooth. I will absolutely work with Ian again. “

"Ian Bell has been our go to video guy for years. We first worked together in 2020 on our single “Purgatory” we have done about 5 videos together since then. Ian communicates clearly and helps being the artists vision to life. Even when the time is tight for a location Ian never allows stress to show or deter him during a shoot. Ian Bell is a professional, will deliver an amazing quality finished product in a reasonable amount of time, and he will be one of the most fun people you ever work with. 10/10."
