About Brandi

Hi, I’m Brandi — a photographer, creative director, media artist, and visual storyteller based in Los Angeles, CA. When it comes to photography, I do specialize in portraits, editorials, fashion, street, concerts, and food photography. I do other media arts such as videography, video editing, graphic design, and web design as well.

When I work and create, it’s about honest, cinematic, and grounded in emotion and realness of that moment that I’m drawn to. The in-between moments- quiet glances, fleeting light, raw expressions, textures that hold emotion. The things that feel lived-in, honest, and just a little cinematic. I photograph people, food, places, and energy with an eye for both beauty and truth.

My work moves between clean editorial minimalism and gritty, street-inspired texture. Whether I’m capturing the quiet drama of a still life or the kinetic energy of a concert, I aim to tell stories that feel alive. Each photo I capture is different and they’re not all the same, since each project is different; as well as each photo that I edit which is edited from scratch.

Photography is how I listen, how I connect, and how I help others tell their story—visually, intuitively, and with heart. Each image is a collaboration. Every project is a chance to explore what’s real, what’s imagined, and what sits beautifully in between.

With a background in street photography and an eye for composition, I’ve developed a style that blends instinct, mood, and detail. My camera is my way of making sense of the world—and helping others see themselves in it.

My Creative Philosophy

I believe in making images that feel true—not staged, not forced, but beautifully composed and emotionally real.

I’m drawn to light, shape, shadow, and color. I’m obsessed with moments that happen just before or after the obvious one. I trust the power of a glance, the weight of a quiet frame, and the story inside every object or face.

My influences range from classic photojournalism to moody editorial spreads, and my work lives at the intersection of documentary grit and artistic intention.

My Process

Every project starts with a conversation. Whether we’re planning a studio food shoot, a creative portrait session, or an editorial collaboration, I work closely with my clients to understand their vision.

From there, I offer:

  • Creative direction

  • Location or studio scouting

  • Mood boards and shot planning

  • Calm, collaborative energy on set

  • Consistent editing and fast turnaround

I’m available for editorial assignments, commercial work, brand content, and personal commissions.

FAQs

  • I’m a native to Los Angeles, CA since I was born and raised here in LA. But I am available for travel, whether it’s local or national.

    If your project is outside of LA, please include that in the inquiry and we’ll work out the details.

  • Unfortunately, I don’t give out any RAW files as part of my standard workflow. My editing is part of the creative process and ensures consistency and quality.

  • Pricing varies depending on the type and scope of the shoot. Once I understand your needs, I’ll send a custom quote. I offer half-day and full-day rates, and select flat-rate packages for portraits and food photography.

  • Yes — a non-refundable 30% deposit is required to secure your date. The balance is due the day of the shoot unless otherwise agreed upon.

  • Shoot me a message and I’ll be happy to answer your question.
