I’m a comedy photographer and videographer based in Hollywood. I specialize in live performance, backstage moments, and performer portraiture across Los Angeles. I’m also the Social Media Manager of the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre.

I once heard photography described as visual poetry and I sure to love helping comics write poems with a punch line—from big laughs, to the rare vulnerability of a solo show, to one particular performer literally body slamming someone through a table for the sake of the bit at 1 o’clock in the morning. Whether you need clean visual assets to document and promote your next show, or a sharp headshot for your next booking, I’m here to make sure you get to bring your personal brand of chaos—I mean, comedy—to the world.

To that point (branding), I also have a degree in marketing and a master’s in journalism, so when I’m taking photos or videos at your show or studio session, I always have one eye on the lighting, one on the broader context of how this content will functionally help you in the modern media world. I love comedy (the first real photos I ever took were of my college improv team), and I’ve worked in it long enough that I can take a few worries off your back in terms of promotion, strategy, and artistic execution. So let’s chat! Drop me a line below or follow me @luke_wink_moran for sporadic but objectively excellent story posts starring my dog.
