LA Photo School


LA Photo School was created to offer photographers of all levels a collaborative workshop environment as an alternative to the long-term commitment and expense required of traditional photo schools. By offering intensive workshops and one-on-one creative counseling that focuses on both the creative and business aspects of the commercial photography industry, we offer an insight into the current market not often accessible to those without a large client base. With more than 20 years combined experience and a comprehensive understanding of industry, we're tapped into where the industry is headed and know how to help you stay ahead of the curve. Competition is tough and we can help you navigate your career to the next level.



Guest Tearchers for LA Photo School !!



Guest Teacher for the next Class is Dove Shore and Leigh Anderson
DOVE SHORE www.doveshore.com


Dove Shore began his career in photography in Los Angeles in the 90's, working for David LaChapelle, Zach Gold and others. Paying careful attention to every artistic detail helped him to define his own style.

Shore's work can regularly be seen in magazines worldwide, including Rolling Stone, Elle, Spin, and Entertainment Weekly, among others. Dove recently completed his first book for Rodale, entitled Eco-Beautiful. He lives in Los Angeles.

For the past three years, Dove has traveled the country shooting portraits of musicians touched by Hurricane Katrina. These photos, along with song lyrics, writings and Hurricane Katrina disaster photos, will be collected in Katrina Music Project, a coffee table book slated for release next August, the 5th anniversary of the disaster. 100% of the proceeds from the sales of the book will go towards the New Orleans Musicians Hurricane Relief Fund, Sweet Home New Orleans and MusicCares.
