Hollywood Shooter

[CaliCam]

Hi Everyone,

I'm a syndicated photographer on the red carpet in Hollywood at movie premieres, awards shows, charity benefits and other celebrity events. I'm not paparazzi, I'm press, working events by invitation of the studios and publicists. My work is syndicated worldwide and regularly appears in magazines like People, Us Weekly, In Touch, Cosmopolitan, Harper's Bazaar as well as in newspapers and on television.

I've always enjoyed shooting scenery, and since moving to Hollywood several years ago, have learned to put pretty girls in the foreground to actually sell that photo!

I operate five Web sites featuring my work, four of my own syndication services, and three online stores. One of my sites, Glamour Quest, is also in development for a possible television show. Everything is available from my portal at RothStock.Com.

I'm happy to share tips and tricks, and always eager to learn from others. I look forward to making friends here.

Welcome Lee!
Looks like you stay busy with a good job. Now you can expand and there are quite a few good photographers for you to choose from.
Good luck with the possible TV show.

Hi Danna,

Thanks for the kind words. You've got some great work in your site. Love the lion walking towards the camera. And the lotus reflection shot too. And, of course, the wolves. I worked with Indigo Mountain nature Sanctuary in Colorado for a short time with their wolfdogs. It's very rewarding to get the animals to behave naturally when you are in their presence.

As for getting on the red carpet, that is a matter of knowing people in the right place at the right time. Positions tend to be filled by referral, or word of mouth. They are never advertised. But ... Now you know someone! :)

Thanks Kevin and Peter,

Yes, I stay busy. And, while not looking for staff right now, it's always nice to know where a good second shooter, or editor is when needed.
