My name is Louis Tinsley and I am an editorial photographer currently based in Washington DC.

I got my start at Norfolk State University. I majored in Journalism but always had a strong interest in all things film related. In 2012 the National Broadcasting Society welcomed me into their ranks. After a couple of successful short film projects, I got a camera and fell in love with photography. 

A month after graduation I got a job at a DC studio shooting Corporate Head shots for lawyers and lobbyists in the DC metropolitan area. I shot head shots for 3 years, working with big law firms like McGuireWoods, and Covington and Burling as well as other companies and organizations like Merrill Lynch,  National Geographic, Freddie Mac, and PWC, before relocating to Louisville KY. 

From 2016-2017 I worked as a freelance photographer and photo assistant on editorial and commercial shoots for companies like History Channel, Lifetime, Papa Johns, A&E, Comcast, UPROXX, Popular Mechanics, and Forbes Magazine. 

I've worked with brands, magazines, individuals, and companies both big and small, and I would love to work with you too.
