In case you need more online education in your life. Seriously though, haha, like many other business owners, my photography business has taken a hit as of late. Not a pity party, I will survive this, and if you know me well, you know I love to share my knowledge and inspire others. That's why I started teaching photography in the first place. I love it!... That said, I'm excited to bring my almost 30 years of photography experience to the online world. Long overdue!

Thinking about locations for your holiday portrait this year? Here's an article highlighting some of my favorite places to shoot in Manhattan Beach. https://www.johndrussell.com/best-places-to-take-photos-in/

I was contacted by a local company who was in need of new photography for a rebrand (leverage on their website and in their online and print marketing collateral, etc.). They also wanted to showcase a little bit of the company culture to attract prospects in the recruiting process. We had a consultation meeting where we discussed their goals and objectives and outlined the scope of the project and the final deliverables. The shoot lasted a little over 4 hours and I'm really ...pleased with the results. The client is very happy as well! "John, these turned out great man. Thank you." "Can you tell me your camera settings so I can forward to our Dallas office for their photographer to duplicate?" Here are a few from the shoot. If you're in need of new photography for your business, give me a call. I'd love to work with you. :)

New website is live! There's still work to be done but it's functional. :) I've literally built hundreds of websites for clients but it's always hard to work on your own ha. If that's not a metaphor for life lol. :D Check it! www.johndrussell.com
