Commercial Photography in Los Angeles, CA

Full production, end to end — that's the point of Highgloss. We concept or execute your creative, cast and direct talent, handle product, prop, food, and wardrobe styling, build sets, light and shoot stills and motion, and deliver retouched, placement-ready files. You can hand us a bare brief or a locked treatment; either way we run the whole thing so your team can stay focused. Of course, if you have your own producers, art directors, or stylists you want to bring, we collaborate seamlessly with client-side teams too. Tell us how much you want on our plate and we'll scope accordingly — most clients hand us all of it, precisely because it's painless.

Yes — that range is exactly what we do. Product and hero shots that make the thing look premium for ads and packaging; lifestyle imagery with cast talent that feels like your brand rather than stock; food and beverage work styled and lit to look genuinely mouthwatering; big brand campaigns that run across OOH, digital, social, and packaging; and consistent, conversion-driving e-commerce. Many projects combine several of these in one production, which is efficient and keeps the look cohesive. Whatever the mix, we bring the right styling, lighting, and team for each. Send us the brief and we'll tell you exactly how we'd approach it.

We do, and increasingly it's expected. We capture social-ready motion clips and behind-the-scenes alongside the stills in the same session, so you leave one shoot with content for every format — the campaign hero, the e-commerce set, the vertical social cutdowns, and the BTS your team can post. Producing stills and motion together is far more efficient than booking two shoots, and it keeps the look consistent across placements. We'll scope the motion deliverables you need — a few key clips or a full social package — into the bid, and deliver them edited and formatted for each platform along with the photography.

Cleanly and up front. Commercial and advertising work involves usage terms and, when talent is cast, model releases and usage windows, and we manage all of it so your rights are unambiguous. Your bid spells out the usage you're licensing — the channels, the term, and the territory — and we handle talent releases and any third-party clearances so there are no surprises down the line. If your campaign expands and you need to extend usage, we make that straightforward. Clear rights are part of a professional production, and we treat them that way, so you can run the images with total confidence.

We're based in the LA Arts District with our own studio, and we shoot on location across Los Angeles and beyond as the creative requires. Pricing is bid per project based on the scope — creative and pre-pro, shoot days, talent and styling, stills versus motion, deliverable count, and usage. Because a single-product e-commerce set and a national multi-talent campaign are wildly different, we build a clear, itemized bid rather than a rate card, with no hidden line items. Send us the brief, the usage, and the timeline, and we'll turn a scoped bid around quickly. Great commercial imagery is an investment that pays back across every placement it runs in.
