Brysen
Templeton.
I'm a photographer and videographer based in Spokane, Washington. I spent the first stretch of my adult life as a firefighter, then traded it for a camera. I was too empathetic to keep doing trauma work long-term. Same empathy drives how I shoot now: I want the people in front of my camera to look like the version of themselves they're working to become.
I work with combat athletes, training facilities, and brands that put the work on display. Currently shooting UFC fighter Brady Hiestand, Combat Global fighter Jaden Ortega, DL Training, and Gas House Gym, among others. Long-term, building toward elite sports: UFC, premier MMA, national-tier combat events.
The work leans moody, cinematic, and grounded. Equal parts gym light and mountain weather. Everything I deliver is hand-edited by me. No outsourcing, no filters-and-send.

Firefighter → photographer → builder.
Eight years of showing up when it counts. Same instinct, different tools.
Started in emergency response. Showing up when it counts. Left because daily trauma wasn't sustainable.
Picked up a camera. Built KV out of Spokane shooting portraits, vehicles, and small brand work.
Brady Hiestand (UFC), Jaden Ortega (Combat Global), DL Training, Vince Peak. Found the lane that fits.
Gas House Gym, Divinity Group, Elk Shape. Visual partnerships for owners who needed real cadence.
Started shipping custom Next.js sites + AI builds (Koios, GymVision SaaS) for the same clients I shoot for.
Direct. Fast. Built for momentum.
Most shoots start with a 10-minute call. I want to know what the content is actually for. The reel, the campaign, the brand refresh. No vague briefs.
Turnaround is measured in days, not weeks. If you're on a retainer or package, you get priority and rolling delivery.
I'm not here to be the cheapest photographer in Spokane. I'm here to be the one you hire when it needs to land.
