There are few places in the world with more fashion talent than Los Angeles. And Long Beach in particular, with its mixture of cityscape and seaside environments, is the perfect place for a collaboration with the nation’s top talent! Our favorite Long Beach fashion photographers all have years of experience bringing brands to life through evocative photography. Take a look at their work, and let us know what you think!
1. Elizabeth Jean
Long Beach fashion photographer Elizabeth Jean has created a visual diary of her exploration of subjects and the world on her feed we think you’ll love! Her work with film photography gives her images an instantly recognizable classic flair that only adds to the stories on display.
Elizabeth expertly poses her models to best take advantage of dramatic lighting and lets the subtle highlights of film bring out delicate tones in her subject’s skin. And each clothing choice brought into the frame adds story elements ranging from vintage to contemporary in nature!
2. Yitzhak Dalal
Yitzhak describes himself as a “classic yet contemporary fashion photographer,” and we agree 100%! From classic studio poses to outdoor lifestyle-inspired shots he’s constantly exploring how form and apparel mesh within the frame while finding ways to highlight the best features of his models.
Yitzhak partners up with some of the largest clothing and editorial brands in the fashion world. And they seek him out for both his color and monochrome styles. We especially love how Yitzhak manages to combine both deep blacks in his clothes and subtle highlights in the subject’s skin in an especially dramatic way!
3. Kayla Mendez
The strong lifestyle element that courses through Kayla Mendez’s fashion and commercial images is especially captivating. Wine, a book, and a sunhat add so much to a series of images featuring earrings, a model, and casual clothes.
Kayla’s personal style tends to shine forth in all of her collaborations as well. Her signatures are a warmer color shift, soft shadows, and earth tones that make her work instantly recognizable. Los Angeles, including Long Beach, as well as most of California and Florida, are where she partners up with businesses and engaged couples soon to be married!
