This is a Headshot example of a teen age actress. We took photographs in the studio as well as in natural light. This shot was taken in natural light out side. She got so many great images within the two hours we shot, choosing one image was difficult.

She was great to photograph, fun and energetic and very comfortable to be with. We did full length images as well as headshots all on a white background. the photographs will be easy for her web master to pull her off and place on her website.

Jennifer is originally from Iowa and out here for about 3 years. look for her work on TV and film.
She has beautiful blue eyes and I choose to shoot her out side in natural light so as to enhance them. We walked the streets talking as we shot.
Rayanna and five of her friends stopped by to take some pictures. They all became close friends after meeting in the Beverly Hills High School Minnesingers class last year.
We shot a bunch of photographs of the girls, some posed and some not. Also we did some images of Rayanna for her acting Headshots.
The group shots were all shot in studio but the Headshots were done outside in natural light.
They all had a great time. What a terrific 16th birthday present. One that will last forever !
Nurit is a 74 year old preacher of fitness now working on her third up date to her book “The Timeless Body”.
Originally from Israel immigrated to the US and graduated from the Juliard School of Dance. She has developed a unique style of exercise all done from the ground so as to reduce friction on the body’s joints. This type of exercise is specially designed for all ages. As you see it has done her body well.
The challenge of a shoot such as this is capture the satellites of the movements in order to make it clear to the new exerciser using the book. We shot in my studio on a white seamless background with soft lighting.
Leighandra was back for her third shoot at Westside Studio. Her first time was back in 2003 with her sister Brittany and then again in 2007 when Brittany was Miss Massachusetts.
This time out in LA on vacation with friend from 6th grade Taylor. They both shot individual shots in studio and environmental shoot around the neighborhood here in Beverly Hills. It is wonderful and a little scary to experience my subjects grow up before my camera.
Val lives in Topanga canyon in an old restored hikers cabin. The house is totally tricked out with antiques from around the world. The dinning room is where his recording studio is set up with the best high end mixing equipment I have ever seen. On the walls he displays some of his 13 number 1 records and 80 gold records, not to mention a grammy.He has worked with James taylor, Neil Diamond, Donovan, Marvin Gaye, Bonnie Raitt, Santana, Ringo Starr and the list goes on.
We shot from the living room in to the dinning room. Val sat in his chair at his mixing board. I lit the room with two mono lights bouncing of the ceiling and two behind the mixing board. Val was very comfortable being photographed as he mentioned he has been photographed 1,250,000 times.
The shoot was for West LA Music, the marketing person Christina Crockett and Val Garay were very happy with the shoot.
