I couldn't be more thankful to the clients that have chosen to work with me over the years. There are countless reviews on Google that reinforce my relationship with each person I work with. It's not just about the work itself, it's how I work to achieve the results.

Met Chris at a wedding for which I was providing entertainment. He snapped a few photos of the band and we were in love with his composition. Recently hired him for our bands promo photo shoot and he knocked it out of the park. Captured our personalities, some hilarious outtakes, and some beautifully, very interestingly composed photographs. His studio at the art factory is awesomely unique and really provided a stunning and different backdrop for us. Looking forward to working with him in the future!

Chris is a rare combination. He's a talented creative who sees and captures the world uniquely while also being the consummate professional on top of his communications and responsiveness. He is the exclusive photographer for my company now and I've been more than thrilled to recommend him to friends and colleagues alike. His superpower is the ability to articulate your vision and bring it to life through outstanding photography!

Chris is amazing to work with! He worked with me and my clients and walked us through his entire process. I run a marketing agency and I needed help with video work and head shots for my clients. I was impressed by the headshots, and the video and office your video he filmed was phenomenal.


I will only be using That Werks for all my branding projects that require video production and headshots!

Chris Sztybel is one of my all time favorite photographers to work with. He's professional, courteous, great with people all ages, and beyond talented. I've had the pleasure of working with Chris multiple times and the shots he's taken of me are some of the strongest work in my modeling portfolio! I would highly recommend his services to others!

Corporate Headshot Day with ID Badges Printed On Site

By That Werks Photography Account • April 10, 2025
That Werks Photography was cordially invited to photograph headshots for Hamamatsu at The Heldrich Hotel in New Brunswick, NJ. We photographed employees against white (for the ID badges) and against chroma green (for post-production depicting them in a different environment.) If you or your company as a whole needs new headshots and/or new ID badges then have us join you at your headquarters or meeting space. You will be impressed with the quality of the headshots themselves and receiving a tangible product that is necessary in most workplace settings.

Photographing Menu for Metro Subs in Bethlehem, PA

June 21, 2024
This is a pretty straight forward photo shoot at a restaurant for this blog post. The setup was a mix of natural light, Flashpoint AD600 and one speedlite with the Magmod MagBeam attached to it. All processing was done in Capture One before exporting to the client gallery. If you are looking to refresh your menu then get in touch with me. Would be glad to come out and capture the essence of your restaurant for your customer base.

Marriage Proposal in Stanton, NJ

By That Werks Photography Account • May 20, 2024
The planning that goes into a proposal cannot be overstated. This one was more involved than most that I’ve photographed since the family was going to a celebration afterward. Lots of hands on deck to make this go off perfectly. I set myself up a nice distance away to get hidden from Amanda’s view. There are a few buildings on the property which made that easy. For the lens nerds out there I was on a 35mm and a 150mm. It was a nice day with plenty of landscape that I wanted to capture. This side of the farm gave me a view of the pond/house/family hiding trifecta that really makes those shots special. After the couple and guests celebrated the engagement we did some more photos with just the two of them and then plenty in front of the big barn with the rest of the family. Congratulations on a plan well-done and enjoyed by all! If you would like to learn more about this location please visit: https://www.readingtontwpnj.gov/community/readington-museum

Headshots with Russ Watkins in Clinton, New Jersey (Red Mill and beyond)

February 21, 2024
This is a portrait session I did with Russ Watkins (Owner & CEO) of Professional Risk Organizers Inc. based in Clinton, NJ. We made use of his office space as well as the building itself that his office resides in. We then stepped outside to downtown Clinton and shot near the famed bridge and red mill which locals and tourists know very well. The Sony 35mm GM f/1.4 and Sony 85mm GM f/1.4 were once again my “go to” combination to work efficiently and creatively given the various locations.

Portrait session with Casillero del Diablo and Manchester United Football Club

February 21, 2024
In July 20, 2023, this spur of the moment photo shoot unfolded (Quickly! From booking to being on set was a matter of 3 days!) featuring Manchester United football club and the world-renowned Casillero del Diablo wines from Chile. A few of the portraits I photographed for Casillero del Diablo and Manchester United Football Club have started making their way onto the interwebs and beyond. The advertisement that has been put forth thus far includes Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof and Christian Eriksen. I assure you there are several other players I photographed but I won't be showing you those portraits until the advertisements for those players (and the different shirts!) start to make their way onto aforementioned interwebs and beyond. We "took over" the hotel and all available space was used for staging, production and socializing. We needed a large gap between player and camera so the kitchen was taken over and converted into a photo studio. I needed to capture the players from the knee up and true to life so that meant a 85mm lens was the best bet. Of course I shot tethered with Capture One so the clients could see the results in real time. A little bit about Casillero del Diablo: Established by Concha y Toro, is a distinguished Chilean winery renowned for its premium wines. The brand's name, meaning "Cellar of the Devil," adds a touch of mystery to its reputation, contributing to the allure of the collaboration with Manchester United in this unique and visually striking photo shoot. A little bit about Manchester United: Founded in 1878, Manchester United is one of the most storied football clubs globally, boasting an illustrious history filled with numerous domestic and international triumphs. The club's iconic Old Trafford stadium stands as a testament to its enduring legacy in the world of football.

It's Time To Update Your Headshot.

January 15, 2024
Everyone needs a headshot. Even I have a headshot. You need one for all the various social media profiles, email signatures, contact cards in phones, business cards, bios and branding initiatives. It's probably one of the most versatile aspects of advertising and is rock solid for about 2-3 years. But we all mature, change industries, locations, etc. and then it's time for a new headshot. The good news is I come to you for this. Yes in 2024 I'm fully mobile so that means I bring my studio to you. Whether it's a simple plain backdrop or something more environmental it's even easier than it was before 2024. Reach out and let's come up with a day "that werks" for you.

Photographing the Chicken Supreme menu in Paterson, NJ

January 15, 2024
I've photographed many people, places and products. But I am telling you right now of all the fried chicken I've photographed (and eaten) this is the best by a country mile. All other fried chicken is simply not coming close. I set up in a back corner booth with a few different lighting modifiers to get the sunset appearance. I wanted that golden feel in the food and the atmosphere itself. Shooting tethered with Capture One Pro gave the client a clear picture of how things were shaping up since this was a complete menu refresh. I love seeing the reaction when something meets or exceeds expectations!

DJ Lawless Spinning in Flemington, NJ and beyond

January 13, 2024
Looking for someone with the tunes that will move and groove your next event? Well that's DJ Lawless . Give her a follow on Instagram. She's based around Hunterdon County, NJ but definitely not confined to it. I was hired to film this reel for her to show a little bit of what she does and, obviously, the music that is in her setlist. Hey remember MTV?! Fun fact: The intro to this video is a portion of Madonna's "Material Girl" music video .
