About
I'm here to elevate your visual brand! I have over a decade of experience behind the camera and have shot almost every style within that time. Since graduating with my BFA in photography, my aim has always been to bring the "art" to commercial art, and create eye-catching and clean images. I pride myself on efficient, quality work at a fair price.
While my focus is commercial photography, I also like to stay busy and can accommodate pretty much anything! Here's how I approach some different styes:
Conferences and Events - Read the room! I make sure to acknowledge the intention of my client with my lens and match the vibe in the photos. If it's a conference, they will be clean and professional - almost like candid portraits. Parties, I get a little looser with the art direction (especially if there's a dance floor involved!) I tend to balance the "fly on the wall" candid images with posed group shots.
Interior & Architecture - I've been doing this the longest out of any style. I approach these shoots from an editorial view rather than real-estate. Meaning I prefer to champion the unique design aspects, rather than the bones of the house itself. Think Peerspace/Airbnb rather than Zillow.
Headshots/Portraits - Headshots can vary based on your needs. I love the editorial style where I show the client interacting within a space, while also providing the necessary close-up traditional portrait.
If you like what you see in my portfolio, feel free to reach out about booking at @keylightstudiola - I don't pride myself on being the cheapest photographer in town; let's make some quality photos!!

Working with Keegan was an absolute pleasure! He was very creative, bringing fresh ideas that really elevated the shoot, and flexible in adapting to what I needed. His professionalism and responsiveness made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. The final images turned out beautifully — exactly what I had envisioned, and even better. Highly recommend!

Keegan was amazing! He shot the interior of the house I recently designed for my clients. I needed professionally done pics for Instagram, not a distorted real estate type. He was professional and so fun to work with. He has a great and well-trained eye that catches every little detail that needs to be moved or adjusted. I will definitely hire him for my next job. His price was great too...it felt like a promotion.... given the work quality and time commitment.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Not all photography is created equal so my pricing structure depends on many things. In general, event photography starts at $250 for the first hour and is $100/hr after that. Architecture is based on the what type of images the client is seeking (ie. peerspace vs real-estate vs commercial)
Some projects may also require renting a studio or additional equipment.
Don't hesitate to reach out and ask, I am friendly and transparent!!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to start with a phone call and sharing any reference photos you are looking to recreate. Being on the same page when it comes to art-direction allows me to make sure the end product is just as good as you expect. If necessary, we will negotiate prices according to the expectations.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I majored in Photography and got my BFA from the Hite Art Institute in Louisville, KY in 2014. Since then, I have worked as a full-time photographer, the last 5 of those years growing my own business here in Los Angeles.
