Carter Damaska Photography

Carter Damaska Photography I'm a marketing specialist with a strong background as a photographer and cinematographer. My work has been featured in U.S. Welcome!

business and trade magazines, sharing my expertise nationwide. I'm quick-learning, detail-oriented, and results-driven. I’m Carter Damaska, a professional photographer and videographer with nearly a decade of experience. My passion for capturing moments began at 16, and I’ve spent years honing my craft behind the lens. Throughout my career, I’ve been fortunate to be featured in business and trade

magazines across the U.S., and I’ve had the opportunity to travel and apply my skills across America from Alaska to Boston. As a self-taught and driven individual, I thrive on challenges and continuously strive to push my creative boundaries. My childhood in the scenic beauty of Western Michigan instilled in me a deep love for the outdoors, and that inspiration continues to fuel my work today. I specialize in transforming fleeting moments into lasting memories—whether through wedding photography, corporate video series, or other creative projects. My work is defined by unique, beautiful lighting and settings that bring every shoot to life. If you’re looking for someone to capture your next unforgettable moment, I’d love to connect.

I recently had the opportunity to spend a day with Great Lakes Superior Walls as they installed their HollowCore. Capturing what makes your company stand above the rest is one of my favorite things to do!

I recently had the opportunity to go behind the scenes at one of my favorite local restaurants!

It was a full day of shooting menu items, lifestyle shots, and the kitchen.

All of the staff were incredibly nice, dedicated to their craft, and a joy to be around!

Enjoy this sneak peek of a longer film to come for the Zeeland Historical Society!

This feature focuses on the retelling of Zeeland’s rich history. From what life looked like before Dutch immigration, during its growth, to what the community looks like today.

When I was asked to help create this project, I had to contain my excitement. Not many people know that alongside my passion for photography and filmmaking, I also hold a degree in history, so getting to combine those interests in a meaningful way has been incredibly rewarding.

I finally did it!

After a year of going back and forth, I finally am choosing to put my passion first. I quit my job and am pursuing my media business full-time!

What once felt incredibly scary, now feels exciting and like the right choice.

I will be continuing to offer my range of services with photography, filmmaking, and marketing, but with a renewed energy and focus.

From the forested mountains to the windy coast.

The first photo is definitely my new favorite photo I have ever taken. As I was waiting to spot a puffin (for my dear wife), I saw these pelicans flying in formation and fot lucky enough that that haze cleared just for the photo!

One of my favorite things to do in nature is to sit and wait for the wildlife to come out. I can confidently say after spending a week hiking in Oregon, I did not have to wait long!
