Hi, I’m Chuck Banks — the face behind Banks Media. I’m a photographer with a passion for capturing real moments that tell real stories. Whether it’s the intensity of a game-winning play, the emotion of a senior portrait, or the joy of a special event, I aim to freeze those moments in time so you can relive them for years to come. I specialize in sports, portrait, and event photography, and I take pride in making every shoot feel natural, creative, and uniquely yours. No matter the occasion, allowing me to capture the moment means turning it into a timeless memory you’ll always be happy to look back on.

Growing up in the Pittsburgh area, I was surrounded by cameras and photographers from a young age, which sparked my passion for capturing moments early on. Being raised around the craft taught me to appreciate not just how an image looks, but the story it tells and the feeling it holds. As both an athlete and a creative, I bring an instinctive understanding of timing, emotion, and energy to every shoot. I approach each session with a relaxed but intentional style, making sure you feel comfortable while I create images that are authentic, bold, and true to you—work that feels just as meaningful years from now as it does the day it’s taken.
