TELLING VISUAL STORIES

Freewheel Studios is a one-man operation providing pro photo and video services. I’m Joseph Ernst, and with decades of experience in visual media, I can tell the story you want to share with the world. In this age of AI and smartphone cameras, I set myself apart by connecting with other people and looking for their unique stories - and then telling them in a beautiful, authentic way.

I use high-end camera, lighting, and editing equipment, and hold a current FAA Part 107 license, allowing for legal commercial aerial drone work.
I serve the areas surrounding Madison, Indiana, and Durango, Colorado. Reach out anytime: hello@freewheelstudios.com

PHOTO

With clients ranging from musicians to municipalities, businesses to tourism offices, real estate agents and beyond, I’ve become known for beautiful images. Events, portraits, products, cars, buildings, aerial work, and more - I’ve done it. What can I do for you?

VIDEO

On the video front, I also work in a wide range of styles. I focus on crisp shots, tight editing, a compelling narrative arc, and dynamic visual storytelling. Think less “15-second throwaway TikTok videos”, and more “intentional stories told with engaging visuals”.
