Jerry Alt

Meet the Photographer

My name is Jerry Alt, and I own and am the principal photographer at ALT Imagery studio. I do a variety of commercial, fine art and portrait photography, and my work has been published in various media from books and magazines to corporate websites. I’ve been taking photos since I was 10 years old, and my passion turned into a profession in 2009. I opened my first studio in 2013 and have been doing this full time since 2014. My clients love my work, but they typically comment most on how comfortable I make them feel and how much they laugh. I embrace the adage that if you do what you love you’ll never work a day in your life. My studio is located at the corner of Dodge and Greenwood in Evanston, Illinois. I’ve done work all over the country for individuals, corporate clients and associations. I’ve got a work ethic that makes me constantly stretch my own abilities, and I teach other photographers on a regular basis in an ongoing effort to improve our profession. I’m on the Board of Directors of Chicago Photographic Society, a member of the Professional Photographers Association of America, the National Photographic Society (London), and the American Photographic Artists. In addition to running the studio, I am an active contributing member of various community organizations.

Fine Art

I produce work for sale as fine art, including prints, canvas, and metal wall art pieces. Check out my gallery which will be updated regularly.

Coaching

I offer one-on-one sessions for both hobbyist and pro photographers, and I am available to teach many of the skills photographers and models ask for. Typically they are done in person but phone sessions are also an option.

Photographer Resources

In addition to classes in my studio I am available to teach workshops and classes on location on a variety of topics. Check this section for upcoming events as well as links to downloadable files and my YouTube channel.

Jerry is one of the greatest photographers I’ve had the pleasure to shoot with! He is so very professional and respectful, and goes above and beyond to ensure that you have the best experience, and captures the photos you’ve only dreamed of. I couldn’t be happier with my experience at Altimagery, and I HIGHLY recommend Jerry for any photography needs you may have. If I could rate higher than 5 stars, I would in a heartbeat. Thanks again!

We had two photo shoots with Jerry in late 2017. The first was a family photo shoot. He took a variety of poses with the whole family, just parents and just kids. We were instructed to bring two outfits, which was great, because I liked myself in only one, so that gave me choices. The second shoot was of my daughter, who is a dancer. He photographed her with a light background and also using dramatic lighting and a dark background causing a stunning play of light and shadow which highlighted her musculature. I posted it on Facebook and my friends LOVED it. The photos turned out great and overall I am very pleased.
