Why Los Angeles?

When I moved west, I brought that same documentary approach to LA’s unique mix of culture, business, and community. I now photograph everything from high-profile corporate events in Downtown Los Angeles to LGBTQ+ fundraisers in West Hollywood, from political galas to red carpet premieres.

I’ve covered drag queens at Pride, volunteer programs for Homeboy Industries, influencer activations in Beverly Hills, and grassroots community events in South LA. My work has taken me from the New York Stock Exchange floor to red carpets outside the Dolby Theatre — and just about every kind of gathering in between.

How do I shoot event photography?

Do I Stage Shots or Let Them Happen?

I believe the best event photography happens when people aren’t aware of the camera. My job is to anticipate moments before they happen — a quick look between colleagues, a spontaneous laugh, a quiet hug after an award is announced.

That means I’m not a “stand here, smile, hold your drink” kind of photographer. I’m the one in the corner, moving quickly, reading the room, making sure you get real moments you can use in press releases, annual reports, social campaigns, or just to remember what it felt like to be there.

Who Do I Work With?

I shoot for corporate brands, PR agencies, nonprofits, entertainment companies, and private clients who care about inclusive, authentic representation. Whether it’s a political fundraiser, a celebrity afterparty, a product launch, or a community awards dinner — my focus is the same: make sure every person feels seen in the final gallery.

What Can You Expect Working With Me?

  • Diversity in the Frame – Events are never just one kind of person. I make sure the photos reflect that.

  • Fast Turnaround – Clean, ready-to-use images within days (or next-day if needed).

  • Seamless Team Scaling – For large-scale events, I work with trusted associate photographers so no moment is missed.

  • Coverage That Works Everywhere – PR, social, internal comms, marketing. No wasted shots.

In Short

I’m a Los Angeles event photographer who’s worked both coasts, covered everything from Wall Street to West Hollywood, and built a career on capturing real, unscripted moments. Whether it’s your annual gala, an industry conference, or a block party, my goal is the same: to give you images that actually feel like your event — and make you proud to share them.
