It was still during the hot summer so we headed to a park early one morning for some great outdoor portraits. We stayed in the shade of a small tree to keep the bright sun off and I put up two lights to make this great balance of light. Later while we were shooting near […]

Amy has an impressive background working as a television broadcaster. Her on-air talent career includes working in the LA market behind the desk as a weekend anchorer. It was time she updated her headshots and that’s just what we did. We kept the formal shots traditional with a modern gray background and finished the shoot […]

What a fun idea! Jill invited all her gal pals over for her birthday and we did a photo shoot. Everybody got glammed-up and we walked a short distance to North Mountain Park and voilà we had ourselves a high-fashion shoot on our hands. BTW, these girls brought it! The intent was to do something […]

Ed came to me looking for some fresh shots for a few needs. The studio portrait was a given, but we also did a few location shoots to capture both formal and casual looks.

Often when I’m doing headshots I take full body shots or 3/4 body shots. This adds a bit of a glossy magazine feel, but also gives clients something other than just a tight zoomed in headshot. When we started I plugged in the ol’ iPod, but after a few songs Darren saved us with his […]

The 2010 autumn season was pretty busy for me so my blog posts became a little infrequent. However I am excited to kick off the 2011 year with one of several new upcoming posts with the shots I took for Tina. She came to me needing several new shots for her career in LA’s television […]

Rudabeh came to me needing fresh updated headshots for work. She’s already using them for all her needs and getting great compliments. The shoot itself was a great time as always and I delivered a disc of the fully edited shots after a few days of her selecting which shots she wanted. Thanks Rudabeh! That […]

I spent an afternoon with Mitch shooting a full range of shots for all the projects he works with in television and PR. It was a fun mix of traditional lighting, ambient lighting, and impromptu location lighting with the speedlite. I was very excited to see the overwhelming reaction he received when he posted his […]
