We believe in capturing the essence of a moment and giving you something that makes your soul smile. We believe in art that awakens within you a connection to a stillness that, for a brief moment, causes the rest of the world to fall away.

Studio 221 was founded by two visionary photographers – Mike Svach and Joe Bayer. Honing their craft for a number of years separately, they joined forces in 2012 and began a journey that would culminate in the creation of Studio 221. They recently expanded the studio by bringing on two more photographers – Ken Helmes and Albert Adkins.  These four craftsmen oversee every step of the artistic process, from the snap of the shutter that captures the image to the final print off of one of their large format printers.
