Behind the Lens

My name is Michael Leddy. I’m a Los Angeles-based photographer specializing in portrait, product, and commercial photography. With over a decade of experience running my own photography business, I've honed my craft while independently managing all aspects of operations. Through the experience, I’ve learned the importance of adaptability and the crucial role it plays in the ever-evolving landscapes of the entertainment and beauty industries.

My approach is rooted in meticulous care and an unwavering commitment to bringing my subject’s personality to life through imagery. I believe in incorporating the true essence of my subject into the images I capture, ensuring my clients feel seen, understood, and thrilled with the execution of their vision. In every project, I am hard-wired to give my all, combining technical prowess with artistic vision to deliver exceptional results.

At the core of my philosophy lies the belief that effective photography goes beyond mere visual representation; it's about conveying the value and identity of the subject through visual storytelling. I strive to tell a compelling story through images, emphasizing both the beauty and identity of my subject.

My journey as a photographer has been marked by constant growth and learning. Whether it be by studying the complex science of light manipulation or developing a mastery of Adobe Creative Suite, I have worked tirelessly to incorporate a vast variety of tools into my craft. After thirteen years in this field, I am able to intuitively apply my expertise and provide confident direction and execution.

I am deeply grateful for the challenges and failures that have shaped me into the dedicated and passionate artist I am today. Dedication to excellence is part of how I honor my younger self, who worked tirelessly in hopes of one day achieving something greater. So, let’s partner together to create stunning imagery that leaves a lasting impression.
