A bit about me

Hey there! My name is Forrest Mackay. I’m a photographer based in Madison, Wisconsin who graduated from Columbia College Chicago with a BA in fashion photography. I specialize in fashion, commercial, and event photography. I love to shoot on location as well as in a studio. When I am on location I like to use a combination of natural and artificial light. When I am in the studio I like to build my own sets!

I invite you to explore my portfolio, where you will find a collection of my favorite photographs that reflect my style and approach to photography.
