Hello ! can anyone recommend a good photographer in LA ?thank you ❤️
From you're current pics, I'd say the photographer has some good material to work with!
.
There are frequent threads about finding photographers. It seems you want to find someone local to LA but keep in mind that some popular photogs tour from city to city and use rented studio space to set up their shoots.
.
Three suggestions:
(1) When you find some photos and layouts of another Provider that you like, look for the watermark or photog's ad on the photos. "Aldo Antonio", "Black Lotus", and stuff like that. If there is no visible photographer's watermark, contact the Provider, tell her how much you like her photos and ask her who did them for her. From comments on TER, it seems that most Providers are very happy to share good info ... and warn you about problems ("Great photos but charged me extra, above the advertised rate, for color adjustment, cropping, etc.." "Great photog but doesn't do videos; I had to find someone else.").
.
(2) If you do want to shoot with someone local to LA, post the same Q to the LA Discussion Board.
.
(3) Put your own watermark on your posted pics to cut down on the chance of anyone else stealing them to use in a fake ad. (See old posts on TER about stolen pics and damaged reputations.)
.
If I was in LA, I'd volunteer to hold the reflectors and lights on your shoot. I also insist on making sure that straps and such aren't twisted and that panties and such are smoothed and without wrinkles.
.
Good luck!
