GreyByrd — See Differently.

THE STUDIO

One photographer. No assembly line.

GreyByrd is a working studio in East Tennessee. Every session is shot, graded and delivered by the same set of hands — which is why the work looks like it belongs to someone.

THE PHOTOGRAPHER

Mike Chiodo

PHOTOGRAPHER & FOUNDER · GREYBYRD PHOTOGRAPHY · EAST TENNESSEE

GreyByrd was founded by East Tennessee photographer Mike Chiodo with one goal: document more than the play.

The reaction after the hit. The conversation on the sideline. The celebration, the frustration, the atmosphere and the details that turn a game into a story.

Mike shoots for the complete record of an event — peak action and everything happening around it — from Knoxville and across East Tennessee.

Gear is a tool. Seeing is the job.

Color or black and white isn't a formula. It's a decision. We use whatever serves the frame — the light, the subject, the moment. The image decides. Not the preset.
