Hey, I'm Ian.

I'm a photographer + videographer based in Baltimore, Maryland. I've spent the last 10 years documenting life through weddings, music videos, branding content, creative projects, and everything in between.

What drives me is simple. Real life is a dynamic, beautiful thing, and so are the people living it. It all deserves to be captured honestly and artistically. I use my creative approach to document life the way it really feels, in a way that actually means something.

When I'm not behind a camera I'm making music, spending time with my family, or enjoying the outdoors.

“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."
