Advertising Photography for your Television, Print, Web Site, and Corporate Needs

Westlake Village Photography specializes in high-resolution digital composite photography, combining products and people with environments, either photographed elsewhere or generated in our computer, including 3-D video animations and still environments. Westlake Village Photography meets today's multi-format, multi-media needs with a prodigious array of skills and tools unmatched in the area.

Headshots for professionals, actors, and photographic models
In addition to commercial photography, Westlake Village Photography has earned its reputation as the Conejo Valley’s leading producer of high-quality headshots for corporate, theatrical, web and print use. At Westlake Village Photography, every headshot is considered unique, both in photographic approach and the ultimate use of the shot. Often, corporate executives need to be photographed in their workplace, which we understand and accommodate, if possible. But often, such a headshot is impractical, or impossible. To solve this problem, Westlake Village Photography has adapted a number of digital photographic technologies to seamlessly combine a photograph from a location environment with a shot of the executive made in our comfortable digital studio.

We are happy to discuss any job you might have in terms of approach or problem-solviing. All jobs are bid on a per job basis. Contact Jean for a quote on your job.

Fine Art Copy and Reproduction / Giclée prints

It has been our passion to bring to Conejo Valley Artists a cuttiing-edge digital art copy capacity that could copy paintings of virtually any size and reproduce them with state-of-the-art quality on either canvas or a variety of archival papers. We use the Better Light camera back (108 megapixels) in a four-by-five studio view camera specially adapted for art copy in combination with a precision track that can reproduce a giclée print of an artist's painting of up to 4 x 8 feet at full 300 dpi printing resolution (we can go bigger by arrangement). Photographing any one painting presents a unique set of challenges and we take great care in lighting each painting to make a digital file and giclée free of unwanted reflections and glare from heavy varnish or impasto. Many other studios simply can't handle these problems. For printing, we use the Epson ultrachrome printers. Please see Penguin Digital Arts for more information.
