Bring your person. Same directed studio hour as our portraits, pointed at the two of you. Lit and coached for two, dressing room on site, and you leave with a fully styled, edited gallery.

Shot to the same standard as the LA studios, without the drive. Theatrical and commercial looks in one coached, tethered session, with light, honest retouching so casting recognizes you. Files sized for Actors Access, Casting Networks, and Backstage.

A portrait session at Look Gross is slow, deliberate, and built around who you actually are — not a pose you saw on Pinterest. We use natural light, longer sessions, and real conversation to get past the "say cheese" face and find something honest. Good for musicians who need press shots with soul, creatives who want a portrait that isn't corporate headshot energy, couples who want more than a phone-timer photo, or anyone who wants to be photographed like they matter.
