Here I am in LA!!

So today I photographed Victoria Recano from The Insider for Pregnancy & Newborn Magazine! She seemed to have no celebrity airs about her, and was someone you instantly feel like you could be great friends with. You know like thinking you and Jennifer Anniston could be friends. Of course there was some stress because we had minimal time on the actual studio set, and they have a lot rules of what you can't do.

I was able to take around 10-12 shots of each set-up and then we ran (yes, we literally were running in heels), from one set to the next loading and unloading our equipment. As we wrapped, the make-up artist was heading off to NY to shoot Kevin Bacon in the morning, and the hair stylist has a steady job on The Closer with Kyra Sedgwick. Being at CBS studios, with film cameras following us everywhere was kind of surreal, and you try to recognize everyone you see. Here's one of the shots! The finals will be released in P&N in March, and the show will be airing a 30-45 second promo of our shoot.

Angela Photography's First Blog!!!

Hello everyone! This is my first blog. I've actually been wanting a blog for weeks, and now that it's up I have writer's block. What do people even want to read about me and my business? So....I'm thinking that I'll start telling you a little bit about me, and then let you ask me questions. I am a freelance photographer. Leaving the steady paycheck at a 9-5 job, to start a small business was one of the most exciting and scariest things I've ever done. Four year later I'm still here, surviving, and starting a new chapter in my career.

I've combined my love for music, and my love for fashion to shape the focus of my photography. Working in the entertainment industry has given me interesting clients, funny stories, and some uh-oh moments. Some of my clients and publishing include Vogue, People, Usher, Billboard mag, Heart & Soul Mag, Pregnancy & Newborn, The Atlantan, Family Force Five, Six Degrees mag, etc.

Some of my favorite clients are people who are normally behind the scenes, and aren't accustomed to being in front of the camera. I enjoy the challenge of making an uncomfortable subject comfortable. Being able to bring out their personality and features and capturing them on film is something i am fortunate to do. With this blog I am proud to post pictures of clients and people I've photographed that are normally behind the scenes. Above music producers The Movement in their first photoshoot. -angela
