Personal project
Water Series

My name is Rebecca Guenther. I’m a photographer, designer, and handmade artisan. As such, my focus is primarily on helping clients - whether they are another maker working to build their brand or an international advertising agency - achieve their imaging needs.

I’m currently available for freelance.

I live in Chicago, where I am proud to say I was born-and-raised, but I spent over 17 years between then and now living all over the country.

After graduating with a BFA in Photography with a focus on alternative processes, I worked as a gallery manager before moving into commercial and advertising photography. During those years, I had the opportunity to move into production and graphic design, which eventually landed me working on shopper marketing and advertising campaigns.

Today, I freelance for a small selection of clients doing both design and photography while working to develop my handmade brand OuroHermetica, and recently I opened a store in the Wicker Park neighborhood where we sell a carefully curated selection of local handmade wares.
