What clients say
Beauty Photographer in Los Angeles for Luxury Skincare, Makeup, and Fragrance Agencies and their Brands
Courtney Dailey is a Los Angeles beauty photographer and director for skincare, makeup, haircare and fragrance campaigns. She started out as a working makeup artist, and today we shoot from our boutique studio in North Hollywood, The Saturn, for brands and agencies in Los Angeles, New York and beyond.
We shoot both sides of beauty: on-model campaigns with real skin, hair and makeup, and product imagery built around packaging, texture and color. Stills, video and animation can come out of one production, so your campaign, e-commerce and social assets look like they belong together.
Clients include Sephora, Urban Decay, Revlon, bareMinerals, Dr. Jart+, Kate Somerville, Laura Mercier, Too Faced, Neutrogena, K18, Haus Labs, About-Face and Summer Fridays, with editorial credits in Allure, Elle and Cosmopolitan.
