Creative Portraits

Express yourself. Show off. Be you.

What’s the hype?

Self-expression: Experiment with lighting, poses, and props to create unique and exciting images. We can even bring in a stylist and makeup artist to make sure you present yourself exactly how you want. A portrait photo session in LA is a great way to express creativity and showcase your personality!

Collaborative effort: Creative portrait shoots in LA often involve working with a creative team, including a photographer, stylist, and makeup artist. This can be a fun and rewarding experience that allows you to bounce ideas off of one another and create something extraordinary.

Stepping out of your comfort zone: This is your chance to get creative and try new things! Maybe you’ve always wanted to wear a wig and bold makeup, or perhaps just being in front of a camera for the first time is a huge deal. An LA creative portrait session is a fun and exhilarating experience that helps you grow as a person in ways you haven’t discovered yet.

Create lasting memories: At the end of your session, you will have beautiful, timeless images to cherish for years to come. You can use them as inspiration, empowerment, or just a find memory of that time you did something exciting.

What Makes a Successful Creative Photoshoot in Los Angeles?

Lighting

Creative portrait shoots often involve experimenting with different lighting setups to create a unique look and feel. This can include playing with shadows, colors, brightness, and warmth.

Props and Accessories

Props and accessories add visual interest and create a specific mood or theme for the portrait. This can include anything from clothing and jewelry to furniture and other decorative items.

Location

The location of the portrait shoot plays a key role in the overall aesthetic. Creative portrait shoots may take place in unconventional areas, such as abandoned buildings, nature settings, or city streets. Tell me where you want to go, or we can brainstorm a perfect spot together!

Pose and Expression

We will experiment with different poses and expressions to create a unique and visually striking image that conveys your intended personality and emotion.

Post-Production Editing

Post-production editing can include anything from adjusting colors and contrast to adding special effects or textures. My intention is only to enhance the overall look and feel of the portrait while keeping your vision in mind.
