About

Hi. I'm Kendo Brown. Over a 20 year career as a professional photographer, I've helped myriad professionals from business, media and the arts build their business and their personal brands with strategic and striking imagery. What I do is actually quite simple, I celebrate my clients and their unique stories.  
My work has been featured in Forbes, Variety, LA Business Journal, People, The L.A. Times, Realtor Magazine, Angeleno, Venice, Beverly Hills Living, California Apparel News, WWD, National Law Journal, The New York Times and many more.   
I love that my job allows me to meet really smart and interesting people. I've photographed, scientists, authors, performing artists, politicians, creative geniuses, entrepreneurs and more. My genuine interest in their lives and professions comes out in my imagery.  
 I live and work in Los Angeles, but I travel extensively.

What Client’s Are Saying

Damian - Emoto, Inc.

“An exceptional photo studio. Kendo is an expert at capturing your best for corporate and professional work. Deeply grateful for their craft and support during the shoot and for the excellent work product afterward.”

Vahe, CEO, MD Logica

“Kendo Brown was fantastic to work with for our client's plastic surgery practice photo shoot! As a marketing agency, we needed high-quality photos of the doctor, staff, and office space, and Kendo delivered beautifully. His friendly demeanor put everyone at ease in front of the camera, making the whole process smooth and comfortable. The final photos turned out exactly as we envisioned for our client. I would definitely recommend Kendo Brown to other agencies or medical practices looking for professional photography. A true pleasure to collaborate with!”

Ashli, Producer & Actress

“Hi! Just looked over the images and I love them. The experience yesterday was wonderful. I had so much fun. Thank you so much for being so kind, and for taking such great photos of me. I appreciate it so much!

Chris R., Broker/Owner, Strand Hill Realty.

“Thanks for coming down to Manhattan Beach to photography our agents. We expected boring images against a white background. What we got were pictures that made out agents and our brokerage stand apart. You made everyone feel so comfortable, and made it all quick and easy. Kudos. Job well done!”

Lynne S.

“Kendo Brown creates an engaging and fun yet professional atmosphere to capture your best images. It was great working with him and I’d work with him again and again! His makeup artist, Jacquie, is excellent and his assistant is so helpful from beginning to end. Overall, it was an amazing experience and I highly recommend the Kendo Brown team!”

Ben W., Author, Hachette Publishing

“Hey sorry for the delay! Bonnie at Hachette Publishing loved your photos, even before I sent a glowing note to her about how wonderful you were to work with. I suspect that you will be photographing a lot of Hachette authors going forward.”

Gregory, PhD. Form Bio, Inc.

“I had a fantastic experience at my shoot. Kendo is an extremely professional photographer who really knows how to make his subjects feel at home. I was a little nervous to start out, but Kendo took the time to get to know me, ask questions, and most importantly make me feel comfortable in front of the camera. I used the headshots for all my corporate photos (including this review), and my wife kept a copy for herself because she loved it so much! Couldn't recommend him enough!”
