From the Field

“Loved having Kjell come and document some of our projects.  He was very easy to work with and didn't need to be babysat. I can tell him where a job is at and when I want him there, and he does the rest. He is able to make simple tasks turn into great pictures and show the scale of large jobs. Would highly recommend Kjell and Bluecollar Photographer.”

- Dallin Horran
President, Red Pine Construction

"Where Kjell stands apart from other photographers I have worked with in the past is his knowledge of the industry. This mattered to me because he knows what shots are important for existing and potential clients to see.”

- Michael Botts
President, Botts Grading

“I’d recommend Kjell to anyone in construction or heavy civil without hesitation. He understands this industry — the pace, the people, the equipment — and that makes a huge difference. He’s creative as hell but still practical, and he delivers work that actually helps you stand out instead of looking like the same stock crap everyone else posts. He has a way of turning everyday job site chaos into something that looks intentional and badass. If you want someone who can make your operation look as legit as it really is, he’s your guy.”

- Don Collier
Principal & Director of Field Operations

Why Clients Choose This Work

Clients choose this work because it’s grounded in reality. Aside from the occasional portrait or team photo, the images and footage are captured unscripted on active job sites with real crews, creating visuals that feel credible, represent people accurately, and work for marketing, recruiting, and brand use.


Who I Work With

Construction and mining companies
Blue-collar trades
Marketing teams and agencies
Brands for those who build


I’m driven to document the people who build the world. Machines and technology matter, but they don’t mean anything without the blue-collar men and women doing the work. I travel across the country working with companies that value documenting their people, projects, and operations. My work is created on active job sites with respect for the crews and the work being performed.
