2022... What a year — actually, a tremendous year — where we got to engage with a talented pool of photographers worldwide to create some inspiring and engaging celebrity portrait photography.
Among the hundreds and hundreds of portraits we got the opportunity to produce, I've collected a few of memorable ones that moved, delighted and made us pause. Some of these photos have not been previously published.
I am extremely honored to have worked with our small team of entertainment photo editors— Brandon Choe, Calvin B. Alagot and Jacob Moscovitch as we produced, photo directed and curated toward a new vision for entertainment photography at The Los Angeles Times. It was a meaningful experience, day after day, as we were reminded of why we love photography so much.
