About Tony Maden
I’m Tony Maden — a photographer, storyteller, and guide who helps people and mission-driven organizations communicate with care.
Our work lives at the intersection of human presence and thoughtful technology. Whether through photography, video, or emerging tools like AI, the aim is always the same:
to help people be seen, understood, and represented with integrity ✨
I live and work in Marion, Indiana, serving Grant County and surrounding areas, alongside my partner Becca, whose steady presence, insight, and lived compassion shape both my work and my way of being with people.
How We Work
Our approach is shaped by faith, deep listening, and many years of walking alongside people in both ordinary and difficult seasons of life. That experience informs everything we do — from how we frame an image, to how we approach a conversation, to how we use modern tools responsibly.
Much of this work is lived and practiced in partnership. Becca and I share a commitment to presence, gentleness, and real life as it is, not as it’s packaged. Her perspective — grounded, honest, often quietly humorous — keeps the work human and the tone true.
We believe good work doesn’t begin with speed or volume.
It begins with attention, discernment, and trust.
Sometimes that looks like photography for a home, a family, or a listing.
Sometimes it’s storytelling for a church or nonprofit.
Sometimes it’s simply helping someone think clearly about how they communicate — and why it matters.
The Workspaces We Steward
Tony Maden Media
This is where our professional photography, video, and media work lives — including real estate interiors and aerial (drone) imagery, as well as visual storytelling for people and organizations who value clarity and care 📷
Maden LUV Design
A quieter, more reflective space focused on story, faith, and presence — where creativity and discipleship meet, and where much of the inward work that sustains the outward work is held.
Both spaces are expressions of the same commitment: to work with humility, warmth, and respect for the people involved.
What We Believe
We believe healing and clarity often come not from doing more, but from being present.
We believe technology should serve people — not replace them.
And we believe beauty, laughter, and honesty belong together 🌱
We don’t claim to have everything figured out.
We simply show up, pay attention, and do the work with integrity — alongside those we love and trust.
