Today we’d like to introduce you to Ed Rudolph.
Ed, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
After becoming interested in photography in high school, I went in to study at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. After graduating, I got my start in the industry by working for some of my professors, who were also some of the best commercial photographers in the city.
On my days off, I kept working on my portfolio, trying to collaborate with stylists that I had met while assisting the veteran photographers. Slowly I began to form relationships with my own clients and gradually became a full-time photographer on my own. Today, I specialize in food and product photography and have a studio near Culver City.
Has it been a smooth road?
Being freelance in a very competitive creative business has not always been easy. I have had my share of disappointments, as well as victories when I land that big assignment.
The biggest lesson that I have had to learn is to have patience and be persistent in the face of adversity.
So, as you know, we’re impressed with Ed Rudolph Photography – tell our readers more, for example what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.
I am a commercial photographer specializing in food and product photography. I split my time between working in my studio and being on location, usually at my client’s offices. I am most proud of my longevity in a competitive field, and the high profile companies I have been able to shoot for.
What sets me apart is my experience under a variety of conditions, which allows me to prepare for any unforeseen issue that may arise during a shoot. Professional photography is about making sure that the client leaves the shoot happy, so problem-solving is very important.
Let’s touch on your thoughts about our city – what do you like the most and least?
There is a lot of opportunity in Los Angeles, but the cost of living and overhead can sometimes make it difficult to do business here.
