ELEVEN-08 MEDIA

The Story

The Story Behind the Lens

World class photography. Built in Bend.

Kyle Nelson, founder of Eleven-08 Media

Meet Kyle Nelson

Photographer. Entrepreneur. Author. Speaker.

Kyle Nelson has spent over 15 years building world class visual media businesses from the ground up.

The Early Years

It started in 2013 — Kyle joined Soul ID, a social network built for action and adventure sports, where he ran media and photography for some of the largest action sports events in the country. Dew Tour. Moto X. The US Open of Surfing. Nationally recognized events with national audiences. That's where Kyle learned to shoot fast, shoot under pressure, and capture moments that actually matter.

From 2015 to 2020, Kyle Nelson Photography served commercial and editorial clients nationwide — lifestyle, brand, and editorial work for businesses across the country.

Building a National Brand

In 2017, Kyle founded Results Imagery — which grew to become the #1 lifestyle product photography company of its era, serving clients internationally across Amazon and e-commerce from 2017 to 2023.

Over those 15 years Kyle has created work for some of the world's most recognized brands — Disney, Walmart, Starbucks, Johnson & Johnson, Verizon, Nespresso, Roku, Rawlings, Squishmallows, Ball Corporation, Pokémon, Universal, Chipotle, and hundreds more — serving over 1,000 clients from small Main Street businesses to the world's largest brands.

Central Oregon

From 2021 to 2023, Bend Media brought that same commercial quality to Central Oregon as the region's premier commercial media company.

In May of 2020, Kyle relocated to Bend and started over. Eleven-08 Media is the natural evolution of everything — a world class creative media brand rooted in Central Oregon, built to capture the moments that matter most.

Beyond the Camera

Kyle is also a serial entrepreneur, Amazon #1 bestselling co-author of The Art of a Solo Retreat, and a speaker on creativity, entrepreneurship, and intentional living. He is the co-founder of The Solo Retreat Company, Welldia, and Reset Founders — companies helping individuals and organizations reconnect with clarity and purpose.

When Everything Changed

On November 8, 2018, the Camp Fire tore through Paradise, California. Kyle lost his home and every piece of equipment his photo booth business owned in a single morning. Cameras, printers, props, backdrops, vehicles — all of it. What happened next still doesn't feel real. Hundreds of photo booth owners across the country — competitors, technically — crowdfunded cash, props, and gear from their own studios. The industry rebuilt him from scratch.

The Name

Eleven-08 (11/08) marks the date everything changed. November 8, 2018 is not just the day Kyle lost everything — it is the day an entire industry showed him what community really means. The date lives in the name as a permanent reminder that what breaks you can also rebuild you, and that the work we create together matters more than anything we build alone.
