About
I’m Edmond, a photographer in Oakland, and I came to photography from 20 years of art direction and design, starting in advertising in Los Angeles and including print catalogs and award-winning web work.
That background shapes every session. I direct you so you look natural, light each setup on purpose, and hand-edit and retouch every photo I deliver, so each one is finished and ready to share.
I photograph portraits, headshots, couples, families, maternity, elopements and events across the Bay Area. Photos arrive by Google Drive link, and prints, albums and framing are available, designed by me.
Tell me what you have in mind, and I’ll send a clear price and a few times that work.

Edmund was an absolute pleasure to work with. Was willing to meet me at location to scout it out and share his insights and suggestions. Excellent photos and worked hard to help make it a surprise. Definitely planning on working with him again in the future!

Edmond rocks! I used Thumbtack.com to find a photographer on an expedited timeline and Edmond responded within 8 hrs or less. I told him I simply wanted 1-2 headshots for my website and he said how soon do you need it. He gave me an honest and fair price for the job and even met me at my home! From there we went to my local park and walked around for about 45 minutes and he was able to get some really good shots. Edmond has a creative eye with background, lighting, posture, and everything else that involves taking a professional headshot. Edmond also put me at ease with his gentle ways as I don’t like taking pictures whatsoever. The photo shoot felt quite seamless and natural. I will absolutely hire Edmond next time around when I have a special event in my life hands down. Thank you so much Edmond.

Ed helped out at two birthday parties so I could focus on hosting and taking care of the children. He got some cool shots, was friendly, let us do our thing and enjoy the party to the fullest. We are very grateful for the pics!!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My price covers the session and the finished photos. I deliver edited photos only: choosing the best frames and editing each one is part of how I make a photograph, the way a film director keeps the final cut. Every photo you receive is hand-edited, retouched and ready to share. Extra edited photos can be added to any package, and prints, albums and framing are quoted separately.
