From Carl Schneider...
I love what I do. I love everything about it. The action, the moment, the planning, and even the clients. My clients include dozens of Fortune 500 companies as well as nationally renown magazines and I'm fortunate to have each of them.
I have had the pleasure and honor of working with top agency creatives as well as top talent. My clients have entrusted me with photographing the likes of Hilary Swank, John Elway, Alonzo Mourning, Karim Abdul-Jabbar, Albert Belle, Kevin Garnett, Eddie George, Tony Hawk, Junior Seau, Karch Kiraly, and more. And I'm just as happy shooting regular folk.
I am equally passionate about large-scale productions, which sometimes take weeks of planning and coordinating, and shoots where it's just me and the talent - one on one. My crew and I take pride in solving problems creatively. Sometimes it takes thought, research and maniacal attention to detail. Sometimes it takes a quick intuitive decision. Either way, methodically or spontaneously, you can be assured that I will deliver.
As an avid mountain biker, snowboarder, volleyball player, and surfer, I know the thrill of an endorphin rush. I approach my photography the same way - with a balance of skill and abandon - always striving to capture the rush, whether it's the moment big air is attained or the tangible memory of that moment in my subject's eyes. Passion on film.
We are located in Hermosa Beach, California (about 5 minutes south of LAX) and ready to travel to anywhere on the planet at a moment's notice.
