Background
From the start, my work has lived at the intersection of creativity and technology—spanning photography, video, animation, UX/UI, web and print design, and corporate branding. To round out that creative toolkit, I also spent years in software architecture and engineering, which gave me a deep, hands-on understanding of how things work under the hood—right down to the bit level.
These days, I’m based in Longmont, Colorado, working as a solo creator (with support from a trusted freelance network) across:
• Commercial + editorial photography
• Full production planning and execution
• High-end image and video editing
• Art direction + creative concepting
Services
I support clients across every stage of creative development—I help with everything from big-picture strategy to hands-on production—whether it’s planning, setup, creative direction, photography, video, or design. If you’ve got an idea, I’ll help bring it to life.
Studio & Creative Spaces
For smaller projects, I work out of a home studio fully equipped for professional results. For bigger or more specialized projects, I collaborate with three incredible top-tier studios—each with its own vibe, from industrial-style setups for modern and creative content creating to classic studio environment with client lounges, makeup stations, pro lighting, and multiple cyclorama options.
On-location Work
I’m definitely not a studio-only creative—I have a lot of experience planning and executing on-location shoots. I adapt quickly to different environments and improvise when needed to ensure reliable, high-quality results no matter the setting.
“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.” —Aristotle
For over 20 years, I’ve been working as a photographer, videographer, designer, and technologist—building creative solutions through consistent practice, curiosity, and hands-on experience.

FRANK SCHRADER — Freelance / Self-employed / Independent Contractor
Creative & Photographer
I worked from my first day on in “Generation-Y” environment, meaning everything digital. I founded a digital creative agency in Munich: I worked in the digital world of photography, video, visualization and animation, UX / UI, print and web design, corporate design. That’s where you learn all the in-and-outs of the industry, from pulling off photo and video shoots to having brainstorming coffee sessions with the team and with clients and creating strategies. I can adapt to any environment, from strict and formal to agile, from small biz to corporate.
I have expertise in many industries and fields: creative, technology, financial, tourism, health, physiotherapy + fitness, consulting, eCommerce, architecture, food, real estate, retail and probably others.
In 2008 I founded DENALImultimedia LLC in Colorado — it was time to slow down.
I have been always an early adopter of digital photo and video equipment and mobile solutions, and I lived through the evolution of digital workflows with Photoshop, Lightroom, After Effects, Premiere Pro, nowadays the Adobe Creative Suite, Davinci, Catalyst, CaptureOne, Canva and a lot of other software: whatever is right for the task.
COMPANIES I WORKED FOR & CERTIFICATES & …SO ON
I founded a creative agency in Munich and later in 2008 my new business entity in Boulder, Colorado.
An incomplete list of clients looks like this: AUDI (Germany), COMPAQ Computers, DHL USA eCommerce (incl. Canada Express), studio 3fold (Boulder, CO), Lawrence and Gómez Architects (Boulder, CO), CSC PLOENZKE AG Wiesbaden (DXC.technology Worldwide), HYPOVEREINSBANK, … and several Consulting companies and many small business clients in the United States and Europe.
I obtained Brand Management and Project Leadership Certifications and have experience in all project phases from first client briefings and budgeting to creation, delivery, and team training.
I am self-employed since before 2000 and have been engaged in creative and technology full-time contracting and consulting positions as well in project-based projects for many clients.
I am looking forward to connecting with you!

Creative Space
“I conducted an extensive research effort prior to engaging Frank at DENALImultimedia for my project. Frank is very professional, yet friendly and extremely competent. His knowledge and insight is outstanding and his willingness to “go the extra mile” is demonstrative of the degree to which he is willing to go to ensure the success of the project. His work ethic is of the highest level and his creative skills are extraordinary. Frank offers suggestions to improve the project quality and scope which leads to an excellent end product. The caliber, quantity and level of his work vastly exceeded my expectations. Without reservation, I am happy to recommend Frank for his diligent effort, within budget, while meeting the project timeline.”
— Richard R, Las Vegas / Longmont (job: visualizing property, a task tailored for the perspective of a remote home buyer)
“I have been working together with Frank since 1998. With his experience he offers fantastic suggestions – which are always improvements on my ideas.
He is not ‘pushy’ – allowing the client to portray themselves as they wish, however his suggestions are really good and they have been advantageous for my business.
He has met every deadline I have given him and he does so within my budget. I especially appreciate his honesty. I highly recommend Frank.” — Susan, Sarasota, Florida
“When Frank Schrader first came forward as the person heading the migration of DHL USA’s Intranet content to the Worldwide Deutsche Post Corporate Intranet, he was a little skeptical. Nevertheless, it was his role – and he embraced it. Last week Frank organized and supported a training workshop for over 40 members of the eCommerce team.
It was supposed to be a workshop tailored to Frank’s constituency, but Frank willingly folded others in when the occasion demanded, including the coordinator for all of Express Canada.
Frank administered that support with enthusiasm and grace – from arranging the training, to advocating use of the tool, to ultimately setting Portal standards and administering portions of the Workshop.
Thanks to Frank, the team is now in place – and DPWN can rest assured that there is a contact person that cares about the product and is enthusiastically supporting its administration and growth.” — a press release, DHL USA
“We contacted Frank to photograph our for-sale-by-owner condo after finding his name online.
From the first conversation, he was professional, courteous and responsive.
His expertise and care are evident in the great results.
We’ve viewed many homes for sale and the pictures that Frank took are as excellent as any we’ve seen.
He also took the time to help us with some technical questions after sending us our package.
Frank is a wonderful person with great integrity and skill.
We recommend his work whole-heartedly.” — Robin & Tom, Lyons, Colorado
