What We Shoot

Three ways to
get haunted.

Every shoot starts the same way: you tell us the idea, we tell you honestly whether it will photograph. Then we build it.

01

Horror & Dark Editorial Photography

Slashers, final girls, creatures of the night — we live in the genre and it shows. From convention-ready horror portraits to full narrative editorial concepts in Los Angeles.

02

Horror Pin-Up & Glamour Photography

Vintage glamour with a wicked edge. Old Hollywood aesthetics meet horror iconography. Powerful, bold portraiture designed to be printed large and hung on a wall.

03

Concept-Driven Portrait Photography

Bring us your weird, your specific, your half-formed idea. Cosplay, character portraits, dark creative concepts — if you can describe it, we can shoot it in Los Angeles.

04

Event Photo Booths, Prints & Custom Stickers

We bring the whole setup to your event, photograph your guests, and hand them a real printed photo before they leave. We turn shots into custom die-cut stickers too.

Where we'll
be next.

All Events

We bring the backdrop, the lights, and the printer to horror nights and markets around Los Angeles. Get photographed, walk away holding the print — or a custom sticker of yourself.

Before You Ask

Frequently
asked questions.

Where are you based, and do you travel?

We shoot out of Los Angeles, California, and cover the greater LA area including Hollywood, Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, Long Beach, and the San Fernando Valley. Travel outside Southern California is absolutely on the table — ask us and we will work it out.

Do I need to be a model or have shoot experience?

No. Most of the people we photograph have never done a real shoot before. We direct the whole way through — where to put your hands, where to look, when to breathe. If you can show up, we can get the image.

Do you shoot cosplay and convention portraits?

Constantly. Cosplay, original characters, and convention-ready portraits are a core part of what we do. We light to match your build and color palette so the costume reads the way you made it, not the way a hallway flash mangles it.

Can I bring my own costume, mask, or props?

Please do. The weirder and more specific the better. We also keep our own stock of masks, blood, and props, and we will tell you honestly before the shoot whether something is going to photograph well.

How far in advance should I book?

For 2026 dates, the earlier the better — October books out first and fastest, usually months ahead. That said, always ask. Cancellations happen and we would rather hear from you than have you assume we are full.

How long until I get my photos?

We respond to every inquiry within 48 hours, and edited galleries are typically delivered within two to three weeks of the shoot. If you need something faster for a con or a release date, tell us up front and we will tell you honestly whether we can hit it.

Do you bring a photo booth to events?

Yes — that is one of our favourite things to do. We bring a themed backdrop, real studio lighting, a camera, and a printer to markets, horror nights, screenings, conventions, and private parties in Los Angeles. Your guests get directed and photographed properly, then walk away holding a printed photo. Catch us at Halloween in Haddonfield on September 18 and the Macabre Market at the Mystic Museum on September 19, 2026.

Can you make custom stickers from the photos?

We can. We turn event shots into custom die-cut stickers, which people love a lot more than another business card. We can do them for event guests on the day, or as a run for your brand, band, shop, or convention table. Ask us when you enquire and we will quote it with the rest.

Do guests really get their photo printed at the event?

On the spot. We print at the booth and hand it over before they walk away, branded to your event if you want it that way. The full digital gallery follows after, so nobody has to choose between the physical print and the version they can post.

What does a shoot cost?

It depends entirely on scope — a single-look portrait session and a full narrative editorial with set builds are very different animals. Send us your idea through the booking form and we will come back with real numbers, not a runaround.

Tell us what
you're planning.

Give us as much, or as little, detail as you have. We love a half-formed idea as much as a fully fleshed concept. We'll follow up within 48 hours.
