John Calpin is an exceptional photographer. His professional use of photography techniques and tools, his own distinctive artistic approach, effortlessly helps him to develop truthful characters of each individual-model. These qualities make him a real artist.
I’ve had the privilege of working with John several times. He’s efficient, always has a well thought-out direction unique to each client, coupled with the technical expertise to see the vision through to the end.
I love John’s photography. He has the ability to find the story hidden within his subject, and his use of light adds the drama to their tale. His work reminds me far more of fine art photography than of studio portraiture.
John is warm, direct, and has a wonderful eye. Our session was completely painless and no one has ever taken better pictures of me.
John Calpin instantly made me feel at ease for a photo session that was effortless (on my part at least), fast and fun, and I was really impressed with the results. John’s work really brings out character and especially in black and white the texture of the photography reminds me of Amsel Adams’ work. He made me look smart and important and I couldn’t be happier with the experience.
I’m John, and I am here to create a Portrait that tells your unique story.
I’m a Portrait Specialist in the Los Angeles area with a background of 25 years in photography and motion picture visual effects. I don’t shoot weddings, real estate, newborns, pets or any other genre of photography.
Photographing a person’s face is a passion of mine and the truth is–you want to make a strong impression.
As a result, I am an expert in creating an exceptional portrait where my clients look powerful and purposeful, with a flair for the cinematic. I capture a moment in time in which you demonstrate your unique qualities to the world.
You understand the importance of the image you want to project. You have reviewed my portraits, noticed the difference and said, “I want John to do that for me.” Let’s work together to create a successful portrait of YOU!

I obviously am not going to keep you any longer than necessary, because I know you’re busy. There’s also no reason to rush, because we both know nobody is booked right after your session.
Getting a portrait isn’t something you do every day, that’s why I believe each person deserves the time and attention they need to create a portrait that fits their need.
