Stephen Tang Photo

While some photographers emphasize their gear or trendy post-processing, I take pride in subject-photographer interaction - the relation I build with clients, picking up on nuances in pose and expression while we shoot, anticipating the viewers' response - because ultimately, that's how photographs that matter to us are created. I'm a native New Yorker who found myself relocating to Los Angeles and making it my home. Wherever you'd like to have your wedding, it would be my pleasure to be your photographer.

Over time, a pattern reveals itself among the people who reach out to me. They want someone who produces a timeless look they could've enjoyed fifty years ago or fifty years from today. This is reflected in my editing as well as my photojournalistic eye for real moments. They want someone who isn't afraid of low light. All of my lighting skills are derived from awareness of natural light. Any flash should not distract or erase the original mood of a scene. As mentioned prior, lastly, they want someone who is relatable and easy to get along with. If we're spending a full day together, great conversation and humor pay dividends!
