Photographer

My goal with every session is for you to walk away with great headshots and to also have a fun and comfortable experience…

Hello. I’m Rafael and I make professional actor headshots, corporate headshots, model headshots, lifestyle headshots and more. My goal is to provide great headshots at a great price and with a great service experience. We can collaborate at the Headshots by The Light Committee studio or outdoors nearby. I also provide location shoot services. I try to provide all the answers you need on this website so you know everything you need to know without searching or waiting for answers. But if I missed anything, or if you prefer to chat with your photographer first, please contact me anytime. If you do not reach me, please leave a message as I do my best to respond within 24 hours. Thank you!

How it Started

I was fortunate to turn a life-long love for photography into a professional photography service. This started with my corporate / agency public relations and marketing consultant work for large and start-up technology companies. I had a PR/marketing client years ago that gave me the chance to do their headshots. And then another client, and so on. I’ve since done headshots sessions for countless numbers of actors, models, corporate teams, business professionals, and more.  So, I opened the Headshots by The Light Committee studio years ago in the Glendale area. I moved the studio to downtown Los Angeles for a year before settling back in Glendale again.

I previously was an account executive and account manager at two of the top 10 largest worldwide public relations agencies: Ketchum and MSL. I earned a BA in Journalism, California State University, Northridge, and graduated with honors. I also served honorably in the US Air Force and California Air National Guard. Again, please get in touch with me and we can discuss how I can meet your photography needs.
