Info
Elizabeth Weinberg is an award-winning photographer and director based in Los Angeles, specializing in storytelling that fuses a loose approach with measured precision for the moment. Her work is informed by her photojournalism education and is documentary at its core. She is renowned for her celebrity portraits and lifestyle imagery, shooting in a relaxed, no-frills manner that brings out the shared humanity in all of her subjects. Her motion work focuses on the female experience with a mix of nostalgia, humor, and evocation of a collective memory. She is especially interested in creating worlds that exist without the imposition of modern technology . Elizabeth has been recognized with awards and features from PDN's 30 Photographers to Watch, the Art Directors Club's Young Guns, American Photography, and Communication Arts. Her skills in imaging post-production set her apart. She believes that the finessing of color, saturation, and grain is just as important to a still or moving piece as its content. She loves to be hands-on in applying her signature color style to best convey a story's particular mood.
