Los Angeles Headshot Photographer

Now, many years later, I still have that passion. My career started years ago with a fortuitous meeting that changed my life. I was modeling at the time and living in Europe. I met some people that thought I had potential to be an actor in Los Angeles and arranged for me to move here. In just a few weeks my life changed. I spent the next years working hard going to acting classes, performing in theater, and appearing on television shows such as “General Hospital”, “The Young and the Restless,” and “Day of our Lives.” It didn’t take long to realize the importance of a great headshot along with a clear marketing approach.

After many unsuccessful attempts at getting that “shot” I decided, in my frustration, to do it myself. I started with friends who were also in need of a good photo. My friends liked their pictures so much that they told other friends, and before I knew it I was working full time as a professional photographer. I naturally segued into other kinds of photography.

Throughout, there was one thought that I maintained, “Always make the client happy, no matter what.” My photos get a great response from casting directors, agents, and managers because they look just like the client. To me, life is art and art is life. Each photo session is unique. The foundation of any great photo is to capture the reality in the moment. After all these years and working with thousands of actors my passion continues to grow. I never tire of the creative process because to me, each person is completely different from the last that I worked with.
