While my work is held in the permanent collection of the National Portrait Gallery in London, my home and craft are firmly planted in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles. This April and May, I am opening my DTLA studio for a select number of portrait commissions and professional workshops.
In a city defined by the temporary, we are focused on the permanent. Whether you are a leader defining an industry or an actor defining a character, your image should be a museum-grade legacy, not a fleeting trend.
💼 Visual Architecture for the Modern Leader
Your professional image is your first negotiation. We provide editorial-grade branding for CEOs, Founders, and Authors who require more than a generic corporate headshot.
Precision: Portraits that balance unshakeable confidence with genuine approachability.
Authority: Moving beyond the "standard" to create images that command the boardroom.
🎭 The Cinematic Edge: High-Stakes Actor Headshots
In the sea of flat-lit LA headshots, we specialize in depth, shadow, and intention. We don’t "take" photos—we direct character.
The Goal: Identifying your "type" and applying cinematic lighting to create images that stop a Casting Director's scroll.
The Result: Portraits that have served as catalysts for talent in major studio features and Emmy-winning productions.
📸 Photography Tuition: One-to-One Workshops
Ready to elevate your own technical precision? I offer personalized, immersive instruction right here in the DTLA studio. These sessions are designed for:
Beginners seeking a world-class foundation in lighting.
Professionals looking to refine advanced portrait and cinematic techniques.
What You’ll Master:
Camera control and lighting mastery (Soft vs. Hard light).
Direction and posing for expressive, authentic portraits.
The business of high-end portraiture.
Direct Access & Preferred Rates
I believe the best collaborations happen through direct conversation. For the months of April and May 2026, preferred rates are available exclusively for those who get in touch with the studio directly.
