Downtown Portraits

VoyageLA is all about supporting creatives and risk takers – from makeup artists, fashion designers and music producers to chefs, entrepreneurs and more. In our Portraits series we try to celebrate their work by sharing some of our favorite shots we’ve come across. We’ve share shots from the Downtown LA below.

Photographers Ulices & Maria Del Toro

Gus + Teresa will tie the knot this weekend and we cannot wait! We’ve got their DTLA engagement session up on the blog now to help us get through the week. ✨ #deltorophoto

My client had her brows microbladed somewhere else, she was not happy with the results. With the Eliminink tattoo removal I am removing each stroke to prepare her for some Amazing micro bladed brows soon! If you have previous work you are not happy with, don’t loose hope. Contact me I can help you 🙋🏻‍♀️ CALL/TEXT me at 323-313-5050

Portrait photographer Robert Macaisa

I’ve been sitting on a lot of my older work, so I’m making a point to throw it on the gram! This one’s from a fun shoot with @allen.firelitfilms and @breenaylaya a couple years ago. She killed it, and I was just there to take some photos that day. #RMPhotoVideo

Fabulousness ✨ loved creating this textured look for the beautiful @garcelle today with the amazingly talented @kymmyizabeauty on makeup. ➡️➡️ Swipe To create this look just add elastic bands to a textured pony and wrap the bands with hair 😉 #hairbykeeva #oscars #oscarnight #la #lahair #lahairstylist #voiceofhair #serve #ponytail
