About More Than A Selfie Photography
You don’t need to arrive knowing how to pose. My job is to help you feel comfortable enough to let your personality flow—and to take care of the details that make a portrait work. At More Than A Selfie Photography, I bring a background in editorial portraiture and a patient, personal approach to portraits. Based between Los Angeles and Silicon Valley, serving the San Fernando Valley and the San Francisco Bay Area. For more than ten years, I’ve conducted test shoots for modeling agencies, helping new models find their confidence in front of the camera. I’ve also worked as a location scout for more than five years in the Bay Area and Los Angeles, finding fresh places to shoot and recommending locations that suit your personality and the mood you want. I bring that same posing guidance to you, whether we’re creating dating-profile portraits, personal-branding images or photographs simply for yourself. We start with conversation and easy-to-follow posing direction. I guide your posture, weight, hands and expression, gradually building as you grow comfortable. You can settle into the experience while I handle the lighting, angles and composition. My goal is a photograph that catches your eye and feels unmistakably like you. I offer outdoor, on-location portrait sessions, with guidance on choosing a setting that suits your personality. Any travel fee is quoted and agreed upon before booking. Standard portraits: $375 with 7 edited images. Boudoir, engagement and headshot sessions start at $375. Editorial / personal branding: $550 with 10 edited images. Tell me what you have in mind—even if your starting point is “I’m nervous in front of the camera.”
Reviews
“Shaka did an incredible job with our proposal photos and went above and beyond from start to finish.In the days leading up to the proposal, he helped me put together a plan for a pretty unique location thinking through the timing, where everything should happen, the best spots for photos, and how to keep everything a secret. That preparation made a huge difference and took a lot of stress out of the day for me.When it came time for the proposal, he was willing to do whatever it took to get the shot, including literally getting in the water and getting wet. The photos came out great, and I also really appreciated that he thoughtfully narrowed everything down to a strong collection of the best images rather than just throwing hundreds of photos at us.Most importantly, it felt like Shaka genuinely cared about making the whole experience special, not just showing up to take pictures. He put in the extra effort before, during, and after, and we couldnt be happier with how everything turned out. Highly recommend him.”
