Bio: I was born and raised in Salt Lake City, moved to La La Land after graduating photo school. In the 3 years I've been in LA I've learned so much. I've worked on countless shoots, with many top photographers. I have a extensive knowledge in lighting, digital, gear, and production.

Scott Byrne
Bio: "Originally from Indiana, I picked up my first camera at 17. My passion was obvious from that moment on, and after countless hours experimenting in dark rooms, learning cameras, and understanding light, I decided to pursue further learning in film production and technique. This brought me to Orlando FL, where I attended Full Sail for Film and Video Production. While there, I took away a unique perspective of production and professionalism that began my career in commercial photography. Since then, I have worked with countless clients, models, athletes, production companies, and other photographers. Furthermore, I recently moved to LA to advance my skills and expand my network. Enjoy my work and contact me with any questions!"
