About the Editorial Photographer
Over 25 years ago, Ed began working as a photojournalist for storied magazines like the New York Times, National Geographic, Life, Forbes, Fortune, Time, Newsweek, US News, and World Report. He traveled the world covering major events from the first Gulf War to the Los Angeles riots and photographed celebrities, artists, everyday folk, and executive portraits from Fortune 500 companies.
This led to working as a professional corporate photographer in Los Angeles, collaborating with editors, art directors and marketing and communications professionals from Corporations throughout Los Angeles.
His major influences were Renaissance artists like Raphael, Caravaggio, and Michelangelo and portrait photographers such as Helmut Newton, Eugene Smith, William Penn, Steve Meisel, Youseph Karsh, Annie Leibowitz, and George Hurrell.
Ed brings his experiences in photojournalism and commercial photography to his corporate photography work through composition and lighting so his mages have a cohesive style.

Editorial Photography process

As a Los Angeles editorial photographer, he understands that time is meaningful to subjects, so his editorial assignments take about 60-90 minutes to scout and set up, 20-30 minutes to shoot, and another 30 minutes to break down. Some editorial portrait assignments take longer and require a photo assistant, but photojournalism assignments do not.
Most Los Angeles editorial photography assignments take one to two hours from start to finish but production times can change depending on the scope of editorial photography assignments.
