I’m a commercial product photographer with over 17 years of professional experience. By day, I’m currently the Creative Director of Photography at a home decor company in Memphis, leading a team of studio photographers, retouchers, and image production workflow. By night, I like to make a splash photographing craft beer.

I’m passionate about giving life to still images. In the studio I pride myself on my MacGyver-like ability to problem solve on the fly, constantly striving for clean, colorful, and energetic imagery.

When not in the studio I enjoy rock climbing, hiking, and tasting all the beers.

Cheers!

Photography

I've worked as a full-time in-house photographer for ThinkGeek, Alienware, and Dell, as well as producing dynamic images for freelance clients.

Liz is an extremely talented photographer whose skills extend well beyond the camera. She is highly organized, has great attention to detail and is an absolute pleasure to work with. In my time working with Liz at ThinkGeek, she has deftly managed social media accounts (critical for an online retailer), given invaluable art and creative direction for the site and stores and overseen major projects and marketing initiatives. On top of all that, she managed a slew of tasks outside her direct purview in the spirit of being a great teammate and ensuring as little disruption as possible for everyone during a prolonged and difficult transition. I could not more highly recommend Liz as an asset to any team- creative or otherwise.

Elizabeth Traks is an extremely talented photographer. It was truly a great experience working with her during my time at Alienware. Her skill in photography and design were some of the best I’ve worked with, and at Alienware she continues to build on those skills, keeping the company’s products looking stellar. Elizabeth has the uncanny ability to make still images so lifelike, you feel as if you can reach out and actually touch the objects she photographs. I would highly recommend Elizabeth Traks. She is very easy going, great to work with and has unique ideas – all of which are essential for a great designer/photographer.
