about glitterguts

We’ve been shooting portrait booths and parties for over 10 years!

Clients have included museums like the Art Institute and the Museum of Contemporary Art, festivals like Pitchfork, Riot Fest, and Lollapalooza, schools like University of Chicago, SAIC, and Loyola, plus every brand of beer, cider, and spirit you’ve ever heard of. In addition to that we’ve shot headshots for the Chicago Reader, held a multi-year residency as the official photographers of Beauty Bar, had work published in Bandcamp, Maximum Rocknroll, the Chicago Tribune, Windy City Times, and more. We’re responsible for endless streams of social media content and marketing images, numerous album covers, countless dating app profile photos…

eric strom

eric is a big goober from chicago’s rogers park neighborhood.

he co-founded glitterguts with sarah a thousand years ago when he was working as a dj, and figured that maybe he could use his actual photography degree to make his parties better. he was right, and now nobody has to be subjected to hear him dj (although he’s open to it if you’re throwing a soul music or a punk rock night)
