Who are you?

My name is Trevor Mahlmann, and I am a professional photographer.

Why are you on Patreon?

I am on Patreon because I always want to continue to grow and expand my craft. All my personal work is available for free download/sharing via Creative Commons. Whether it be upgrading my gear to increase the quality of the photos/videos I create, organizing trips to places I have never been so that I can share my talents with as many people as possible, I have an ambition to create with funding behind it as my only barrier.

I have experience and am capable of capturing incredible, one-of-a-kind images in many different situations and want to explore all types of photography throughout my career.

What's in it for me?

Photos! Lots and lots of them.
Everything I take personally, I share via a Creative Commons license.
What that means is, you can download it, use it as your wallpaper, print it out for a gift as a friend, essentially anything as long as you aren't profiting from using it and when you share it on social media, you tag me.
I know for certain there are countless images for me left to make and can only do so with your support. Should you choose to support me here on Patreon, I can use it to turn my ideas into a reality and continue to provide them via Creative Commons. If you support me here, you can know that those upgrades, trips and new photos I am able to create were made possible because of you. Thank you!

Awesome, can I see some of your work?

Sure! Here is a link to my portfolio.

I look forward to what we are able to create working together!

My goals for 2017:
