Behind the Brand
Brand Darkroom was founded by Erin Turner, designer, photographer, and founder of Turner Creative Co.
After years of working with creative businesses and photographers, one thing became clear: most creatives don’t need more options — they need direction. They need someone who understands both the creative side and the business side, and knows how to translate that into a brand that connects.
With a background in storytelling, marketing, and visual design, Erin approaches every project with the belief that good design should feel effortless to the client experiencing it — even when a lot of intention exists behind the scenes.
Where brands are developed.
Every strong brand has a moment before it’s fully seen.
Before the launch.
Before the new website.
Before everything finally feels aligned.
That in-between space — where ideas are refined, clarity takes shape, and direction becomes visible — is the darkroom.
Brand Darkroom exists for photographers and creative business owners who know their work has grown, but their brand hasn’t caught up yet. The ones who are ready to move beyond templates, trends, and pieced-together solutions into something intentional, strategic, and built to last.
Because a beautiful brand isn’t created by accident. It’s developed.
What We Believe
Good design creates trust.
Clarity converts better than complexity.
Your brand should grow with you, not hold you back.
The right clients recognize themselves in your work.
The Result
A brand that feels aligned.
A website that works while you sleep.
And a presence that finally matches the quality of your work.
Because when your brand is developed well, everything else gets easier.
The Photographer Website Experience
A collaborative design process created for photographers who want a custom website that feels intentional, elevated, and unmistakably their own.
This isn’t a quick refresh or a template customization. Every website is designed around your work, your clients, and how you want your brand to feel online.
Together, we create a site that:Website strategy & structure planning
showcases your work without overwhelming it
guides visitors naturally through your portfolio
communicates your value clearly and makes it easy for the right clients to reach out.
Because a great website doesn’t compete with your images — it supports them.
Let’s Develop Your Brand.
If your work has evolved and your brand hasn’t caught up yet, you’re in the right place.
Brand Darkroom is designed for creatives who are ready for clarity — a website and brand that feels intentional, aligned, and built for where you’re going next.

Let’s develop something that finally feels like you.
