about me —

Hello there! I’m Hailey Bollinger, a Cincinnati-based photographer with over a decade of experience in the commercial and editorial world. I specialize in restaurant, interior/architectural design, and brand photography.

I graduated from University of Cincinnati’s DAAP program and spent five years as the staff photographer at CityBeat, a local magazine, before diving full time into my photography business in 2021. Since then, my work has ranged from small and local projects to collaborations with national and international brands and publications.

My background in editorial and fine art photography has sharpened my eye for storytelling, taught me to see the light that brings a space—or a dish—to life, and has helped me recognize the special sparkle that makes a person or brand one-of-a-kind. I bring that same curiosity and care to every project, capturing the essence, personality, and passion behind every brand and individual I work with.

I’d love to help bring your vision to life — reach out at haileybollingerphoto@gmail.com.
