Book a Photoshoot in Los Angeles

Hello! I am George Mayer, a photographer. For me, there are no simple photoshoots: every client is special, and each photograph is a work of art.

About Me:

I have been a professional photographer since 2005. My photographs have won awards in the most prestigious international competitions and have been published in Forbes, The Guardian, The Times, BBC, Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, and other renowned publications. You may have seen my photos in Hollywood movies ("Bright" with Will Smith) and TV series ("Fargo" on Netflix), on billboards in New York, on album covers (Chris Brown's single "Privacy"), and on book covers of famous authors. My art project works have been displayed in famous venues (Carnegie Hall in New York) and exhibited in the world's most renowned galleries (Somerset House in London), and interviews with me have been published in photography magazines in six different languages.

In 2023, I received a U.S. visa for extraordinary individuals. Now everyone can become my model.

About My Photography:

My primary tool for work is light. Through the masterful use of light and shadow, I create elegant and refined images. My work is characterized by a high level of detail and an artistic approach, allowing me to convey the depth of each moment. I seek unique angles and compositions, highlighting the individuality of my models. I pay great attention to harmony and balance, making portraits resemble works of art. Thanks to the combination of classic beauty and unique style, my work has become recognizable worldwide.

The Style I Work In:

I became known for my work in boudoir and nude photography. I also work in fashion photography, beauty, glamour, and classic portrait styles. Additionally, I create portraits of couples, dancers, athletes, and more. Usually, I shoot in the studio, but sometimes I conduct shoots outdoors and in interiors (price and conditions are negotiated separately). Unfortunately, I do not shoot family photos with children, weddings, or events.

How I Work:

A few days before the shoot, we discuss the idea and all the details with the client. Then, I send sketches and references for the photoshoot. On the appointed day, we meet in the studio, and I set up the lighting equipment. The client can arrive at the studio ready, or hair and makeup can be done right before the shoot in the dressing room. I can help with choosing a stylist and makeup artist for the client. The shoot itself lasts from two to three hours. During this time, I change the lighting setup several times, resulting in several series of portraits that differ in style and color.

Within three working days after the shoot, I do a minor color and light correction on all frames and send the client the best portraits as previews. The number of photos depends on the complexity of the shoot - the more complex the pose and lighting setup, the fewer photos we get, as each shot takes more time during the shoot. The client can choose any number of portraits for retouching. Retouching six portraits is included in the price, and additional retouching is paid separately.

Attention! I only provide retouched photos to the client and never share RAW photos without retouching. In retouching, I can correct makeup, hairstyle, and clothing wrinkles, alter the figure and shape of clothing, smooth skin and wrinkles, and reduce age. The extent of retouching is discussed separately. Retouching each portrait takes at least one working day. As a result, the client receives portraits in high resolution in JPEG (for the web) and TIFF (for high-quality printing) formats.

How to Order:

1. You must send a request on the website or via email. In the request, please specify:

• Who will be photographed (man, woman, couple)
• Portrait style (examples of styles below)
• Any additional details and wishes, or sample shots (it is better to use shots from my portfolio)​​​​​​

2. In response to the request, I will send the deadlines, cost, and additional questions. Please read it and write your questions if you have any.

3. Sign the service agreement (can be signed digitally) and pay the advance payment as per the agreement (usually 50% of the photographer's service cost). Pay the studio rent if the shoot is in a photo studio.

4. Come to the shoot on the agreed date and enjoy the session.
