About Me

Hi I'm Jon (JD), a professional photographer in Playa del Rey.  As a business owner I am always seeking to improve my art and photographic style.  Over the years, I have photographed many subjects and venues such as fashion shows, weddings, family portraits, and model portfolios.  I was the principal photographer for women’s apparel and fashion design at Brooks Fashion Institute.

My photography rate is $125/hr, but I am also open to TFP to assist models in building or augmenting their portfolios.  I am easy to work with and truly appreciate that every assignment is an adventure with an opportunity to learn.  I enjoy working on location, developing new ideas and concepts for customers.  Please feel free to reach out to me with ideas that convey a story.  I look forward to working with new models, helping them be creative and augmenting my portfolio based on these photographic experiences.
