Rafael was absolutely fantastic to work with. From the moment we started, he made the entire experience feel easy, relaxed, and genuinely fun - which makes such a difference in front of the camera. He has a very sharp eye and an incredible ability to notice small details that elevate the shot, while also offering thoughtful, clear suggestions that never felt forced. I especially appreciated how supportive and encouraging he was throughout the session - it helped me feel comfortable and confident, and it really shows in the results. Even though I took his "corporate" package, what stood out to me was how personal, warm, and human the entire experience felt - nothing generic or stiff, just thoughtful, expressive, and tailored. Highly recommend Rafael to anyone looking for a photographer who combines professionalism, creativity, and a great human touch. read more

I was looking to update my professional headshots. After a little search on the internet/yelp. I found the light committee just a block down from my office. His website is full of useful information and his pricing was by far better than any other local shop found. Was able to easily book an appointment online. Easy to find location right on Brand Blvd. He provided every photo captured the same day via email and was very quick with the retouches that was requested. I would highly recommend The Light Committee for your photo needs. read more

The photographer Rafael was amazing he made you feel comfortable. The photos that he takes look amazing. I would definitely come back.

I needed some photos for Central Casting and Rafael was able to get me some quality shots that were accepted right away. Rafael is very easy to work with and he knows a lot about taking photos for actors and models. I highly recommend him if you need some good shots quickly. Great prices, too! read more

Great photographer, great price, easy. Got two great business photos in under 45 minutes.

I came to write a review and realized I had left one years ago. Unlike other businesses that lose their touch or quality of service, Rafael has only gotten better. I had the pleasure of working with him again for professional photos, and I can't recommend him enough! He was incredibly kind, patient, and went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with every shot. His professionalism and attention to detail made the entire experience comfortable and truly enjoyable. I am so grateful for his work and will definitely be returning for future sessions. read more

Rafael is professional and accommodating. I instantly felt comfortable with his demeanor and professionalism. He is a real Pro at what he does, and he aims at bringing out the best in his clients. I highly recommend him. - David C read more

Found Rafael thru Yelp and gave it a chance. From the time of booking up to the appointment there were very thorough, and helpful instructions on where to park, how to get in and where to find his studio. I appreciated all of the attention to detail. Rafael was very kind and super knowledgeable on how to get your headshots captured the way you want them! I booked for the 5 looks in a 2 hour session, as well as a slate video. His prices are reasonable and great quality work! I just received my 5 retouched photos and plenty of others to choose from as he takes a whole lot of photos and I am satisfied with the whole experience. I definitely recommend The Light Committee and would book again in the future. read more

I'm one of the pickiest people when it comes to photo quality - especially for something as important as graduation and professional headshots. Rafael's work completely blew me away. The photos were absolutely unreal... by far the best quality and work I've ever seen. As a new attorney and recent graduate, it was so important for me to work with someone who truly understands how to capture the right type of photo. Rafael nailed every detail. He chose the most flattering angles, perfect backdrops, and guided me through poses that looked both natural and professional. His attention to detail is unmatched. My friends and family are just as amazed as I am and now they're all excited to book their own sessions for upcoming graduations and work photos! On top of all that, Rafael was incredibly flexible and accommodating with my tight schedule. I can't thank him enough for the experience and these unforgettable photos. Thank you!!!! read more

Raphael was very nice, extremely helpful, and insightful on how to make the photos the best they could be!

I meant to write this review some time ago. Very good service and results from the Light Committee professional photographers. Excellent communication and timely appointment. Very happy with the photos. Photography was friendly and professional. I got almost 100 photos inside and outside and delivered electronically within a couple of days so I can pick and choose. Excellent! read more

Wow! I had such a great experience working with Rafa and Elle. Rafa has a lovely studio and did a great job of instructing me how to pose. This was my first photo shoot too!

I am so pleased with the experience and the product I received from Rafael! I am not ever comfortable having my picture taken and felt a bit tense and intimidated but Rafael put me at ease.

Rafael took headshots for me today! Fantastic service and great job at final portraits! Highly recommend

Rafael is incredibly professional and easy to get along with! I recently signed with a new agency and decided to refresh my headshots as a courtesy. I was quite impressed with Rafael's portfolio and he was also nearby so I scheduled a headshot session with him. From the moment I stepped in, I knew I was in good hands. He provided me with a bunch of options in case I didn't know what background I was looking for yet and we quickly went to work. There's a small amount of setup time between shots but that's to be expected from a one man army and plus I needed time to switch outfits in between looks which works out perfectly. He also provided feedback on what colors work well together and what tone they sort of convey since I wasn't entirely sure what colors I wanted to commit to yet. Throughout the shoot, Rafael was incredibly courteous and skillful with his shots. I had the opportunity to look through every shot he took and they were amazing! I had such a pleasant experience doing my headshots with Rafael that I plan on coming back and doing a lifestyle session with him in the near future. You really can't beat his pricing especially for the quality he offers! I would highly recommend Rafael if you're looking for some quality photos! read more

I came across The Light Committee while browsing for a new headshot photographer. I am glad I did. I had a wonderful experience shooting new headshots with Rafael yesterday. He is so kind, professional and makes you feel comfortable the moment you walk in the door. He has a great eye for achieving your best look with lighting and background color. I came in with some ideas myself, but asked for suggestions and Rafael had some great tips. My headshots came out amazingly. The studio is so light, clean and inviting. It's that extra attention to detail that matters so much and Rafael has it. I highly recommend. read more

It was great working with Rafael on the headshot. Once I booked an appointment over the phone, he sent over an email for confirmation and instruction on the location and where to find parking. I suggest that you are prepared so you won't run late for any booking. I did street parking, paid the meter for well over the actual time of photoshoot. Rafael recommended to be vigilant as many had tickets for going over time than what was paid on the meter. Once I got in the studio, he welcomed me and offered water. He then proceeded to tell me what he's doing to set up the equipments. After that, he told me in advance that he's going to lock the door so no one walk in and interrupt the session. This not only made me feel safe, but valued as a client. I told him what I liked or wanted on the background, and we proceeded to do a few test shot. As the session began, he would give me few tips on how to pose so I could look confident while being approachable. The entire process went smoothly and I was glad I booked him for the headshot. Rafael is professional (as expected!) and offers affordable quote for his service. read more

Professional photography. Great work and Very fast. Edits look great. Their photo packages are a bargain.

Highly recommend this place! I just got my real estate headshots taken and I'm so happy with my results! My experience with Rafael was great! He welcomed me with water and let me make myself comfortable. There was a cute vanity mirror where I was able to retouch my makeup. During our shoot, he would even hold up a mirror for me to fix any hair that looked out of place. It was very thoughtful. What I liked best during our shoot was that we would look at how the photos came out every couple shots to see what worked and what didn't work. We were able to work on perfecting certain angles and hair position that looked great. Rafael made sure I left with photos I was happy with and I was! I will definitely be coming back again for more shoots in the near future! Thank you! read more
