Vanie Poyey: Model and Headshot Photographer in Los Angeles
Along with headshots, I keep busy shooting people from all walks for life! These sessions are always a blast because they are usually a little more involved and artistic.
If you saw the previous blog posting, I ended off with Charleene. These photos are from the second day of her shoot and focus on print work.

Everyone meet Chuck and David! We are not quite sure who the Puppet Master is.
However, we do know one thing, these two make a great team…at least when Chuck is not plotting something mischievous.

The next group of images are from my shoot with Vartan Poladian. He owns a home financing company and needed some serious business shots along with more casual ones for fun!
These two images were taken in the studio, but highlight the difference a change in attire can make.

Next we ventured on location to add some color to the images and a little more diversity!

Finally, we let loose and played! I’ve missed black and white images and since I was given permission to shoot as I please, well, I did.

Corporate Portrait Photography
I am often approached to shoot executive portraits. This month I had the privilege of going to beautiful Santa Monica, and taking a number of headshots for a company called Coda Automotive.
Even though we used studio lighting, I was able to utilize their location to bring in some color and texture into the backgroud rather than using a simple backdrop. You wouldn’t know it, but these two powerful executives are quite the characters!

Photos of DJs and Musicians
I was recently approached by a local DJ, Kevin Layo, to take some promotional photos for him.
It was a challenging shoot and a nice change of pace.
We photographed everything from him jumping into his pool, fully dressed, to him lighting turn tables on fire!
Here is a little peak.

At the club and on fire!

Before the big Splash!
