Photographer in Ventura, California.

Professional Wedding, Portrait and Headshot Photography.

 

 Photography is both an art and science, beyond the skills necessary with the camera, and a long list of  photographic equipment as well is an understanding of how to use light both broad  and sublime, great photographers need an artistic eye and the ability to be creative under pressure. As one of the top professional Photographers in Southern California. Daniel Colegrove has developed these visual senses and skills.

Artistic and talented but flexible and relaxed, shooting in a broad range of styles, Daniel has photographed weddings and events as well as studio and location headshots for actors in Ventura and Santa Barbara, County since 1984.

  Wedding Photography in Ventura County  I love photographing weddings. No need to say “smile”. No need to wait for an emotion-filled shot. The abundance of joy, tears, laughter and dancing makes wedding photography both pleasant and satisfying. Documentary Photojournalism, Candid and Classic Wedding Photography in California. Photographing weddings in both documentary photojournalist and classic romantic style.  I have photographed weddings and events in Ventura, Santa Barbara and Los Angeles, California for more than 25 years.  All wedding photography packages include  the original medium (film negatives or digital files) for you to keep and share with family and friends.

 

  Commercial and Theatrical Headshots  Technically, the most important part of any headshot is that it must actually look like you. However, in an industry as competitive as this, your headshot must be absolutely stunning - and convey your look and personality at only a glance. The thing is, though, this image cannot be created in only "a glance". Unlike the L.A. and Hollywood "Headshot Mills" I take the time to work with you to draw you out in front of the camera in order capture this elusive quality that is You... Your Look... Your Style... Your energy to present in an 8X10 that my have only a split second to capture it's viewers attention.

 

  Portrait Photography  Creating images that will captivate the observer for years to come. Portrait photography will capture a person's facial demeanor, but it doesn't stop there.  It’s more than shooting a picture, it's the art of capturing the feeling and emotion. I strive to photograph not just what you look like, but who you are. I enjoy photographing people immensely. The progression from photojournalism,  to wedding photography to headshots, then portrait photographer was a natural one for me. I see beauty in people and have photographed them at their best and most challenging moments.
