Sarah Tirzah: Los Angeles still life photographers

Sarah Tirzah is a liquid and product photographer based out of Los Angeles. Quite literally born with a camera in her hand (she swears there's a picture of her in diapers with a Kodak Instamatic camera in hand).

She went on to serve in the United States Marine Corps for eight years where she deployed four times to Iraq and Afghanistan. 

In 2014, she decided to chase her dreams and dove headfirst into the world of commercial photography and has worked with clients in fashion, food and beverage, cosmetics, and medicinal alternative medicine among other industries.

She loves conceptualising the innovation and performance connected to liquids, beverages, and products. From graphic splashes to delightful cocktails, Sarah combines her lighting expertise and technical know with her love of colour and movement to create stunning graphic imagery.

Sean C. Rice: Los Angeles car & transportation photographers

"Reinventing imagination – meaning if you can think it, we can make it – this is my motto. And over the course of 18 years, I’ve been fortunate to do just that. I’m a strong conceptual thinker, an outstanding visual and strategically focused artist, with proven abilities in digital art. I’m a hands-on leader in creative conceptualisation and strategy development.

I have an extensive understanding of marketing ad brand objectives and the value of effective communications. I’m guided by my passion to tell stories with my imagery. I believe great ideas are achieved with creative problem solving, innovation – and pouring craft into an idea to push creative boundaries.

I take pride in getting the job done right for each and every client… and have fun doing it."
