Fort Worth Branding Photographer Captures Master Trumpet Maker Steve Bell | Business Photography & Videography Services

I recently had the privilege of photographing Steve Bell at his workshop, capturing the essence of a craftsman dedicated to his art. Steve is a second-generation instrument repair technician who, alongside his father, Steve Bell Sr., built a reputable school music dealer business, Bell Trumpets, servicing over sixty school music programs in the North Texas area.

Growing up in the repair shop, Steve developed a deep passion for instrument craftsmanship. His commitment to providing musicians with exceptional instruments led to the establishment of Bell Trumpets, where he designs and builds custom trumpets tailored to each player's unique needs. This dedication ensures that every musician receives an instrument that truly resonates with their personal style and requirements.

As a branding photographer and business photographer, I love capturing the passion behind small businesses and entrepreneurs. During our session, Steve graciously agreed to be the first client for our new video services. We produced a three-minute video highlighting his journey and craftsmanship, which will be featured in a competition he's sponsoring at Texas Christian University (TCU) this month. The competition, the 33rd Annual National Trumpet Competition, is scheduled for March 13-16, 2025, at TCU.

Working with Steve was an inspiring experience, and I'm excited to share the video below, showcasing his dedication to the art of trumpet making.

This project not only marks the expansion of our services to include videography but also underscores our commitment to telling the unique stories of artisans like Steve. As a Fort Worth photographer specializing in branding photography, I look forward to capturing more such narratives in the future.
