Hi, I am Colton Rood.
I’ve been capturing live moments through my lens for about 10 years now. During that time, I’ve worked as a chef while going to school to figure out what I wanted to do, lo and behold its been in front of me the whole time. Photography started out as a hobby, just a way to explore my creative side, but it quickly turned into a lifelong passion. It’s my way of showing the beauty I see in people and the world around me.
My journey began when I inherited my first Canon Rebel T3i from my mother-in-law (huge shoutout to her for sparking the fire). Back then, I was grinding in kitchens, dreaming of a future where I could finally do something that made me feel alive. That dream started becoming real in 2022 when I joined Epoch Moment, a wild ride filled with growth, lessons, and nonstop creative energy.
By the end of 2024 I knew it was time to break out and do things my own way. And here we are. This is my shot to build something real, something fun, something that’s unapologetically me.
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll usually find me out in nature with my wife Delaney and our dog Brutus. If I’m home, I’m likely elbows deep in a new project, cars, aquariums, custom PCs, you name it. There’s never enough time in a day, but that’s just how I like it.
No bullshit. That’s the core of everything I do.
I’m not here to upsell you, sugarcoat things, or play games. I show up, give it everything I’ve got, and let the work speak for itself. All I ask is that the honesty goes both ways. You bring the real, I’ll bring the magic.
