Who I am
Publications
I’ve had a long career as a commercial photographer for national magazines, design firms, ad agencies, corporate clients and the entertainment industry. I’ve photographed a lot of famous people for publication, including dozens of Emmy, Tony and Academy Award winners.
Time-Life Photographer of the Year Nominee,1991

Headshots
I’m not a typical Los Angeles headshot photographer. My headshot sessions run three hours, making use of a variety of setups and allowing time for the best of what’s in you to come forward. My commitment to producing outstanding results for actors, models and other artists in the early stages of their careers is the same as in my work with established talent.
Publicity
Sessions
A publicity (PR) session is an extended shoot meant to produce a variety of images for distribution to media outlets — newspapers, magazines and social media sites. Generally, actors and others who book PR shoots have “visibility” and are represented by agents, managers and/or publicists. A PR session involves multiple setups, with frequent wardrobe and styling changes.
Corporate
Shoots
I’m a Los Angeles-based photographer with a studio in downtown L.A., but I do location shoots as well, throughout Southern California and elsewhere.
Business headshots, group photos, team photos, interiors, exteriors — whatever’s needed. The price for these sessions is
tailored to individual circumstances, which tend to vary. Customized bids are provided for all corporate projects.

PHOTOGRAPHER RATES
I don’t charge by “looks”. During your headshot session, you can explore emotional states and change clothes as you see fit. But don’t overdo it. Your clothes won’t get you the job.

We do corporate shoots too — on-site, in Los Angeles or throughout Southern California. Commercial headshots, group photos, team photos, environmental portraits — whatever you need.

NO, for several reasons. One: styling for the camera is its own discipline. Two: as the subject, you can’t keep an eye on your own hair and makeup while being photographed. The stylist will do just that.
No. It’s taken care of when you book your session.
Yes, but that person must be a professional and stay for the duration of your shoot.
