Letβs have some fun! Due to Covid, I tend not to accept 30-minute shoots to limit exposure vs risk. I also donβt take kindly to rude people and will not tolerate this.

βIMPRESSING ALL CLIENTS I SHOOT FOR AND MAKING THEM GO " WOW" WHEN THEY SEE MY SPECIALLY EDITED PHOTOS ( or videos)
β I LOVE BEING ABLE TO MEET & SHOOT PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD, BRANDS AROUND THE WORLD, BECOMING BETTER AND BETTER EACH AND EVERY TIME - and when I can SHOOT ABROAD as part of my job --- It's the best feeling ever.
βI love my job because I get paid to meet and shoot an endless flow of humans ( mainly ) - I am an extremely social person and therefore love to meet and work with people all over the world, impress them & show them our home of LA and itsβ amazing locations!
βI love working with Snappr and my other agents. Their support and booking team are incredible! They give me the chance to shoot the most diverse range of photography you can imagine. I literally shoot every genre you can imagine although to be fair I was shooting a plethora with my partner with our own company.
EVERY JOB I DO I TREAT AS SPECIAL !
HOW DO I MAKE EVERY SHOOT SPECIAL ?
π«Every photo I take, in every genre - I AIM TO βWOWβ the client - and myself and photography partner because these photos are are a reflection of my own work - and company - Unicorn Productions Los Angeles Photography & Film!
π«I go ABOVE & BEYOND for clients who are nice and kind which is most of you! I work for hours after our shoot using my full capability as professional colorist to make many if not all of your photos SHINE and pop and look like cinematic stills from a movie or tv production!This is NOT INCLUDED in your booking :)
π₯΅So be nice to me is all I ask because I work VERY hard before & after your shoot for hours of unpaid work - outside of BOOKING AGENT REQUIREMENTS. If you're rude or arrogant I will end the shoot as per agent rules :)
π«ALL OF MY FOLIOS HAVE BEEN ENHANCED IN SPECIAL CINEMATIC WAYSπ«
Every photo that you see in my folios or links has been MAGICALLY ENHANCED using TV/FILM/PHOTO COLOR EDITING TECHNIQUES..... ...this is very time consuming & highly skilled often taking 5-10 minutes per photo edit.
If you're nice to me then you will receive a few special photo edits to bring life to your photos.
