About Photographer Clayton Hauck
Throughout his 20-year career, photographer Clayton Hauck has captured presidents, mayors, movie stars, and celebrity entrepreneurs for some of the world’s biggest brands, national media outlets and global creative agencies — but his true passion has always been capturing everyday people.
He first made a name for himself documenting the faces and places defining Chicago’s independent nightlife scene, honing his craft on the fly while capturing Chicagoans letting their guard down on dance floors, dive bars, and summer festivals — then posting the results on his website everyoneisfamous.com. Authentic, raw, and real, the photos were a breakthrough sensation. Before the rise of iPhones and Instagram, party-goers religiously checked the site for candid shots of themselves to share online. Soon, major brands and commercial opportunities came calling.
Now, Clayton is returning to his roots and offering limited sessions for real people looking to stay sharp and have some fun with a beautiful and artistic new style of studio photography.

Q. How does it work?
A Once booking a session, Clayton will reach out and connect with you to discuss your goals for the shoot and craft the right vibe you are looking for. Whether you want to be hands on in the decision making or let him take charge, there’s no shortage of options — from dark and moody to bright and colorful, from artistic and abstract to bold and to the point.
Q. What if I book a session but can’t make it to my time?
No problem! Any bookings will be honored during future dates, whether purchasing for yourself or someone else. Clayton aims to offer portrait sessions as his availability allows, just reach out directly to modify or change a time slot.
Q. Do I need to be a model?
No! Clayton is camera-shy himself and prides himself on working with people not normally comfortable in front of a camera to create a chill and collaborative environment subjects can be themselves in.
