Fashion and Beauty Video by Los Angeles Videographer

Fashion and Beauty Video with Athlete Lisa Dillon

Fashion and Beauty Video of athlete Lisa Dillon filmed by San Diego Fitness Photographer Robert Randall

I Recently had the chance to spend the morning with Lisa in San Diego. We put this together on a whim. As a result, we’re able to shoot completely spontaneously. Starting at her home in PB, the video became a story of her day. Next, we headed down to the Boardwalk. Shooting on the crowded boardwalk was chaotic but fun. Consequently, Lisa had to dodge the crowd and still look amazing doing it. Obviously, she did that!

Run and Gun

Shooting a fashion and beauty video without storyboarding or even a plan can be tricky. As a result, you never know if it’s going to actually work. Luckily for me, I was working with a pro. In other words, it didn’t matter. I really didn’t need to give any direction. I just had to keep up with her.

On the beach the biggest challenge was keeping tourists out of the frame. We shot several takes before getting what we needed. In addition, working with the wind and high morning sun presented their own problems. Keeping the sun and Lisa’s hair off of her face. Likewise, holding the highlights in her hair without blowing out the background.

The Park…

We wanted to get a different color pallet for some of the footage. As a result, we found a local park. I was struggling to come up with an idea that I thought would work with the rest of the footage. We needed some more close-ups. Lisa’s idea to spread her long hair the grass for a close-up was brilliant. Resulting in my favorite shot of the day.

A Few More Close-ups

Finally, we ended the day on the rooftop of her friends’ house. The sun had gone down a bit so it was a great time to get some more close-ups. Basically all I did was try to stay in focus while she came up with all of the looks.

Not a bad way to spend a Sunday!!!

Peak Performance in Fitness Photography – Los Angeles Fitness Photographer Robert Randall Productions

On photoshoots, what I am looking for is moments of peak experience or flow.  Those moments when an individual is 1000% invested in their activity and nothing, literally nothing has their attention except the task at hand”. That is “Direct Experience”and it is the driving force behind the work that we do.


“Direct Experience” is the reason I love to photograph athletes. Athletes understand total commitment and focus.  The photo shoots that we produce give these athletes both creative freedom and the time opportunity to move into a peak state of flow as we shoot.  It’s spontaneous, nothing is posed and the result are images that are powerful and authentic.


Direct Experience is also a major component of our creative process as a team during our photoshoots.  If you’ve ever been on set with me, you’d know that it’s a bit of a three ring circus.  If we’re doing our jobs right, the team is also working in a state of flow.  It’s not always pretty to watch and it can be pretty chaotic but I’ve found that some of the best ideas come from others on the set.  It never fails that when one of my assistant or stylists yells out hey… look at the light over there the whole team is scrambling over to that location and shooting frantically to capture it.  And that’s where the magic really happens. Because at that moment, the shot list goes right out the window and our team and the talent are working spontaneously to capture a  moment and you know that you’ve got it because no one is saying a word.  Well, except for me maybe because I tend you yell a lot when I know we got it!


We’re launching 2020 with a greater commitment to “direct experience” in our commercial and personal work than ever before.  What that means is pushing our creativity on every shoot. It means stretching the capabilities of our equipment and testing new ideas on every shoot. It means faster lenses, larger capture, drones, video and incredible, cinematic locations both here in the US and Internationally.


Whether you’re with a large, medium or small company or an individual looking to create new, brand specific imagery I hope you’ll come shoot with us. You’ll have a great experience!

Yoga Photography with Los Angeles Yoga Photographer Robert Randall Productions

Yoga Photo Shoot for Tennyson Red. Tennyson Red is Yoga Apparel Company focusing on these beautiful hand made headbands. This shoot took place in Vista, CA where they have these amazing murals all over the town. Take a look at the entire campaign here!

Yoga Photography from our advertising shoot for The Bay Clubs in Los Angeles, CA. We were hired by AMF Media to create a library of images that The Bay Clubs could use for collateral, mailers and on their web site. They gave us the task of photographing five different locations in 3 days. Not an easy task in Los Angeles since it took a couple hours each day just to get from one location to another.

These yoga images are from a shoot we did for Jessica Valant in San Diego, CA. Jessica is a wonderful yoga and pilates coach and personal trainer. Check out her You Tube Page here.

Anatomy of a Activewear Photo Campaign… Los Angeles Fitness Photographer Robert Randall Productions

Last year we did a photo shoot in the Gas Lamp District of San Diego, CA. The client asked us to create a series of images to be used for a Look Book, Collateral Materials, Online Advertising for their web site, Instagram, Face Book and a number of different uses.

The City of San Diego is a great place to shoot and we really had no challenges other than the management at the Hard Rock Hotel (where we shot a great deal of the day) just wanted to make sure that we didn’t get any signage in the pictures or bother any of the guests. They were absolutely wonderful an let us shoot all over the hotel.

Downtown (Gas Lamp District), we shot on the sidewalks, in the cross walks, on the street (briefly stopping traffic) and just about wherever we wanted. Try that in any other major metropolitan city. It was like having the keys to the city. No one bothered us for a permit and no one really seemed to care that we were even there. We shot the whole day without a single problem.

Our model, Ashley Elliott (from IT Model Management) was absolutely incredible going through more than 30 changes during the day. My make-up artist Elleveesa (as always) never ceases to amaze me with her incredible talent, dedicated work ethic and stellar attitude.

The following images are a small sample of the work we did that day but it can give you an idea of the quality and quantity of great shots we can produce for your company or personal brand. Enjoy!
