1. For consistently creative editorials, check out Mark DeLong
https://www.instagram.com/markdelongphoto/
Mark DeLong is one of the most celebrated fashion photographers in Los Angeles and has nearly two decades of experience under his belt. We are wild about his editorial style, filled with vibrant colors and tons of attitude that makes his images leap off the page (or in this case, the screen!)
You’ve likely already seen his work in Vogue, Vanity Fair, and other top publications. Check out his work and contact him when you want one of the best fashion photographers on your team.
2. Tell a beautiful story with the work of Jean-Claude Vorgeack
As an expert photographer and co-owner of Casement Studio in DTLA, Jean-Claude Vorgeack combines Hollywood’s preference for natural lighting with his unique brand of fashion photography. In fact, he places a special emphasis on the form of swimwear and fitness styles.
When he’s not shooting athletic-wear campaigns, Vorgeack can be found collaborating with makeup artists, designers, and stylists, continuously evolving. His appreciation for the human form can also be seen throughout his extensive work with long, flowing gowns and streetwear, as well as the occasional artistic nude. His images are often arranged editorially — using storytelling and consistency to put his avant-garde ideas into context.
3. Embrace the drama when you work with Jethro Alaba
With a healthy Instagram following of over 58,000, Jethro Alaba uses the platform to keep his fans connected to a steady stream of grim and beautiful fashion portraits. His photographs exude an inherent darkness, combining sepia-toned highlights, haunting facial expressions, and lonely surroundings.
But his work is anything but lonely. In fact, it has been featured in LA’s QP magazine and is quickly gaining recognition as one of the best fashion photographers in the city.

4. Showcase the distinct beauty of each subject when you book Myron Rogan
Myron Rogan brings graphic intensity to natural light photos. As a result, we see photos with long afternoon shadows, dark color tones, and high contrast. Grainy textures and Polaroid-like focus add to the intimate and timeless look of Rogan’s indoor portraits.
As serious as this may sound, it’s Myron’s honesty and sense of humor that balance out the moody tone of his images. And his strong and supportive personality radiates through art showcases, where he uses his photography to pay honor to women’s beauty and individuality.
5. Acquire headshots that slay when you work with Zach Brandan
Zachery Brandan uses his wide range of skills to capture sultry and unconventional headshots with both analog and digital photography. His work combines subtle pops of color with plain backgrounds in subdued hues for a superb mix of styles. Brandan’s fascination with capturing the look and feel of a moment has led him to continuously hunt for underused and interesting locations as he experiments with new techniques, for instance. It’s this lust for experimentation and evolution that keeps us looking at his photos and excited for his future.
In his own words: “My work focuses on capturing a moment in time, whether it’s portraiture, lifestyle imagery, or just the perfect light. Always experimenting with new techniques, I’m equally comfortable with analog and digital technologies, and use both according to the needs of the project.”
6. Nab modern, provocative images when you work with Josh Ryan
With no formal photography training, Josh Ryan has created an impressive body of work — and client list! His provocative and edgy approach makes him a natural choice for brands like Guess, Koral, Chloe Loyd, Doc Block Sunscreen, Ignite International, along with Playboy and Maxim magazines, as examples.
Grainy earth tones, dynamic black and whites, and desaturated colors are part of Ryan’s gritty style. When he’s not shooting for top brands, Josh can be found obsessing over mid-century modern architecture and motorcycles.
7. Get cinematic-worthy images courtesy of Justin Vaseur
Skilled in the art of post-production retouching, Justin Vaseur uses his technical abilities to achieve a futuristic and surprising aesthetic. His open struggle with anxiety adds another layer of depth to his emotional portraits and cinematic editorials.
This fun-loving drummer and image-maker is always sure to pass on a word of sage wisdom, saying, “It’s not the goal that is important; it’s who you have to become to achieve that goal that is important”. Well put! He is dually based in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, so contact him if you have an exciting multi-media project that requires the work of one of the best fashion photographers.
8. Enjoy fierce, narrative-driven images by Chaniel Andran
Chaniel Andran is one of the best fashion photographers in L.A., with a specialty as a masterful director of top male talent. This Jamaican-born photog uses his own experience as a fashion model to fuel his artistic vision. His thorough understanding of the creative/directive process helps him capture unforgettable images, with a focus on striking masculinity.
In fact, Andran’s work has been featured in Adon Magazine, FGUK Magazine, Desire Homme, and Fashionably Male. As it says on his website: “This is only the beginning of his journey and there’s absolutely no limit to his creative vision”. And we believe every word!
9. Create images that make jaws drop when you work with Tara Simon
Tara Simon knows what she wants — at least now. This former graphic designer has worked in content editing, fitness instruction, and even started her own brand of bacon-laced candies, for instance. But when her porky concoctions started gaining national recognition, Tara decided to turn down investors and a high-paying deal with Costco to pursue her passion for editorial fashion photography. Today, she and her team work to bring her dark and quirky concepts to life.
Of her own style, her website informs us: “Her style has a bit colorful with a cinematic feel and a touch of sexuality. Included in her many talents is being able to create beautiful imagery with little to no budget and many times working in less than perfect lighting conditions.”

10. For stylish and emotive fashion shots, rely on Luke Gottlieb
Luke Gottlieb brings a unique perspective to the LA photography scene, though he is based in both L.A. and Denver. As a well-rounded artist himself, Gottlieb strives to insert raw emotion into his photography. His softly-lit portraits and passion for visual storytelling have caught the attention of brands like Steve Madden, L’Oreal, Urban Outfitters, Free People, and MVMT.
His Victor of Valencia brand also offers mentorship programs to aspiring fashion photographers. Check out his site for more details!
11. Moody and irresistible are the signature looks from Sergei Pyuro
As a video production specialist and photographer, Sergei Pyuro takes a hands-on approach to creating dramatic images. In both his photographic ventures and his film work, his artistic pieces highlight the subject’s strength and inner turmoil. With degrees in computer science and communication arts, his background comes in handy as he continues to collaborate with designers, hairstylists, and makeup artists on a wide array of ongoing creative projects.
Sergei has recently collaborated with Chevalier Homme, Conrad Lamour, and Evolve Fitness, to name a few.
12. Opt for playful and joyful images when you work with Jordan Zobrist
Jordan Zorbist has made Los Angeles her new stomping ground, though she’s originally from Idaho. The avid rock climber, cycler, and ridiculously picky eater harnesses natural light and backdrops to encapsulate the true spirit of her subjects. Her photos are fresh and fun, including bursts of laughter, free-flowing movement, and enveloping greenery. In fact, her signature style marks her as one of the best fashion photographers, even to the untrained eye.
Secure in her talents, Zorbist has even created Lightroom presets to assist fellow photographers in achieving a similarly exuberant style. In her own words, “I think it is innately built into each and every human being to want to create something meaningful, beautiful, and purposeful in their lives. Photography is my means to create.”
13. Nab high-end street-style photos with the work of Mike Azria
Mike Azria is a Los Angeles-based fashion photographer with an editorial street style that makes us swoon. Born in Paris, he is a creative in other fields too, including design and art direction. Mike may be a natural when it comes to the arts, but he also excels in business, making a popular choice for fashion brands who need professionals who understand their needs.
We love that when you look through Mike’s portfolio, you will see a mix of male and female models and a diverse array of styles. He is clearly a photographer who is both ever-evolving and someone who can meet his clients’ needs with ease.
