Working in Los Angeles

In Los Angeles, the work is mostly editorial portraiture and music — actors, comedians, entertainers, brand subjects. Locations range from residential West Hollywood (the Norm Sousa Emmy editorial in a backyard tin bath) to DTLA rooftops, the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and Joshua Tree when a desert frame is the right call. LA shoots typically pair an in-studio look with a single environmental run.
