Brad Sharples Photography

It’s not just a picture. It’s a moment in your life worth capturing forever.

ME:
1. Super easy to work with.
2. Very down to earth.
3. Very good judge of character (comes in handy sorting out flakes).
4. Magnetic personality.
5. Invests a lot of time planning a photo shoot.
6. Knows how to act professionally, but still have fun with the shoot.
7. A photographer based in the Los Angeles area (actually Garden Grove, but who outside Orange County in Southern California really knows where the fuck Garden Grove is?).
8. Spends 50% of my time traveling outside the US so my travel schedule can make it difficult to set-up photo shoots more than 2 weeks in advance.
9. Shares junk food and chilled bottled water at my shoots.

I've been doing photography for 29 years, spanning from sports, people, travel, landscapes and modeling. Success in our photo shoot is our ability to work together and come up with something beautiful, sensual and powerful. It's not just a picture. Its one singular, beautiful moment of your life, captured forever. It does have meaning and will be amazing.

Escorts are allowed under ALL these conditions:
1. They do not interfere with the shoot (this includes voicing opinions or preventing an agreed-to shot).
2. They help with the shoot. That is, help carry equipment, hold light stands or reflectors, etc.
3. Makes me aware when "behind the scene" shots are being taken.

When it comes to modeling I'm always down to shoot TFT if its glamour, sexy, edgy or are willing to work on one of my projects. If you want family photos, wedding photos, pictures of your friends or kids, then contact me for my rates.

I shoot with professional quality imaging equipment from Canon. In a typical photo shoot I will use 3-4 different lenses. While I don't own my own studio one can be rented given enough notice. I also have all the necessary studio lighting equipment, so if you have a clean indoor space I can make it into a studio for our shoot (even remotely where no electrical power is available).

I require a signed Model Release for TFT (Trade For Time, no commercial use of images) or Paid (where I’m paying the model, model releases her rights to the photos) photo shoots. Models under 18 years of age are required to bring a parent or guardian to the shoot to witness the model signing a model release.

If you hire me for photography services I will provide you a signed Photographer Release giving you 100% rights to the photos.

Any more questions? Just ask.

By appointment only.
