About
Just a heads up about thumbtack - they charge us professionals a small fortune for a lead, so please, if you reach out be available to chat! From an intimate Italian wedding to the peaks of New Zealand's Southern Alps: the heart of the Peruvian Amazon to family portraits at the park, I love to shoot it all. My names Dylan Francis, i've been a freelance photographer and filmmaker since 2016 and went international in 2022. I specialize in family, wedding, event, wildlife, sport and model portraiture as well as adventure filmmaking. Troubled Genius Media has been my way of experiencing the intimacies of working with cameras to capture the shared connections between peoples important moments, or to immortalizing cultures worldwide, and to contributing to the conservation of our shared ecosystems. The memories that flood to me from old photographs of my childhood constantly re-energize me in my pursuit of the art of photography. Look forward to hearing from you. Owner/operator - Dylan Francis

Dylan did a wonderful job on our engagement shoot! We had a lot of fun trying new poses, even with the wind giving us problems. We felt that he captured us in our natural state and loved the results. My fiancé and I would recommend him.

I had a blast with Dylan. We came up with a great idea on where to shoot, along with his suggestions on time, so we could catch the golden hour of a winter afternoon. He was easy to communicate with and gave me options for scheduling which made it easy for me. Dylan quickly made me feel comfortable and we had a lot of fun talking, picking different poses, working through different looks. I am pretty self-conscious when it comes to pictures but his words of encouragement made things so much easier. The final product is EXACTLY what I needed to portray a level of professionalism on my landing page/website and also to use on my dating profile. Dylan - you better be ready for referrals, my friend, because they are coming your way :) Thank you for everything!
