Healthcare Photography in Los Angeles
About Ed Carreon – Healthcare Photographer
Ed grew up in the business as a photojournalist, where he learned to solve problems quickly and under pressure. His clients like working with him because he has a unique vision, deep professionalism, a collaborative nature, and a broad skill set, including portraiture, narrative photography, commercial productions, architectural photography, and post-production services he provides for his Healthcare industry clients.
Ed can turn on a dime and works well with direction, though he often sees images that his photography clients do not and is constantly on the lookout for off-script images that he feels can contribute to the client’s goals..
He is hired for healthcare photography projects that include image content libraries, branding campaigns, annual reports, marketing, advertising projects, and high-priority collateral projects, where he works with large and small crews on productions of varying sizes. His lighting skills allow him to light whole surgical sets or work quietly in the background during surgeries. Clients like his versatility of skills that allow him to pivot from a high-production healthcare set to a simple, low-production, natural-looking set on the same campaign.
He is also keenly aware of HIPAA regulations.
