Fantasy is a genre I grew up with, both as a book worm and movie lover. It has grown even more dear to my heart as an adult, after being introduced to many more worlds through anime. As much as I enjoy true to life photography, magic and fantasy speaks to my soul on a whole different level. Practical effects (like using a special effects hair and make up artist, fog machine, etc) are my favorite to create an entire fantasy experience with the portrait. I have an upcoming session, for example, with a special effects artist that will be doing fantasy looks, including elvish ears - and it’s pretty much going to be the most epically fun portrait day ever. The freedom to add details and magic through editing, though, is a beautiful thing. Combining both is true magic.

To create the perfect fantasy portrait, it’s all about the details. It’s the costume, the setting, the lighting, the posing, and the camera editing all working together in harmony to create a work of art. Being next to Hollywood, where we have gorgeous sets and incredible movie level artists at every turn, it’s the absolute perfect place to make these portraits happen.
