Rebecca Peloquin is a Los Angeles-based commercial photographer specialising in food, beverage and product imagery. She collaborates with brands and agencies of all sizes to create a unique vision perfectly tailored to each project, often shooting, styling and set designing to ensure that vision is met. When in control of styling, Rebecca strives to avoid any harmful food styling tricks if possible, to reduce food waste. Food from her sets is typically eaten, shared, donated or composted.

Recently relocated to East LA, Rebecca has just completed renovations on a personal, private photography studio to manage her client’s needs for both in-person and remote shoots, complete with access to her prop library. She hopes you will come to visit for a shoot soon.

Kip walked into a photo studio while studying at Ringling College of Art and Design and knew he has found his calling.

For the last 20+ years Kip has refined his craft in the controlled chaos of the photo set. He is inspired by light, angles, styling and the latest technology. There’s no situation Kip can’t handle. His confident and collaborative approach has earned him the loyalty of his clients among which are luxury textile and furniture brands, hotels, resorts, top designers, architects and builders. He is also a Hyatt approved photographer.
