On the corporate side, Ron has photographed a diverse mix of professionals and companies—from business owners, entrepreneurs and executives, to startups, agencies and non-profits, to studios (MGA Entertainment, Warner Brothers, Universal Studios, Saban Entertainment), Fortune 500 and big brands (Mattel, Neutrogena, OPI, Jafra Cosmetics, Polygroup, Wonderful Company).

Ron’s expertise: visual branding, professional headshots, portrait lighting and photo retouching. 

Ron owns his own photography business in Los Angeles and specializes in personal, executive and influencer branding in the form of PR shots, website company bio pictures and LinkedIn profile headshots. A typical photoshoot session will find him in a studio with top stylists to present people in their best light (pun intended). He brings to life his clients’ unique story and vibe in ways that book them jobs, elevate their professional brand and amplify their influence. Ron’s clients appreciate how he can immediately make them feel comfortable in front of the camera and bring their true self forward. 

His passion for everything photography was seeded growing up in Armenia with a camera always in hand, although he thought he was supposed to be an engineer. While earning a B.S. degree in Engineering from Cambridge, England, Ron engineered a dark room there to develop his photos. It’s then when he jumped career paths to open a studio in the United States, eventually earning a B.A. degree in Art & Photography from ArtCenter College of Design.
