Photographer in Los Angeles, California

HELLO THERE! I’M LESLEIGH ARRATIA, FOUNDER AND EDITOR OF PORTRAIT PERFECTED. I CREATED THIS ONLINE RESOURCE BECAUSE AFTER 5 YEARS OF WORKING IN THE PHOTOGRAPHY INDUSTRY DOING BOTH FREELANCE AND COMPANY BASED WORK, I FOUND AN OVERWHELMING NUMBER OF PHOTOGRAPHERS (MYSELF INCLUDED!) WHO WERE COMPLETELY EXHAUSTED BY THE AMOUNT OF WORK THAT GOES INTO RUNNING A PHOTO BUSINESS. I HAD TO BELIEVE THERE WAS A BETTER WAY TO MEET THE GOALS OF THE MODERN, BUSY PHOTOGRAPHER, THUS PORTRAIT PERFECTED WAS BORN! WHILE MY FIRST LOVE WILL ALWAYS BE SHOOTING, MY STUDIES IN GRAPHIC DESIGN INSTILLED IN ME A DEEP PASSION FOR POST PRODUCTION. IT WAS SHORTLY AFTER BUILDING MY STUDIO PORTRAIT BUSINESS WHERE I REALIZED THAT EDITING AND RETOUCHING HAD QUICKLY BECOME MY FAVORITE PART OF THE PHOTOGRAPHIC PROCESS. AS YOUR PERSONAL EDITOR, I CAN GUARANTEE A ONE-ON-ONE EXPERIENCE THAT WILL IMPROVE YOUR WORKFLOW AND GET YOU BACK TO SHOOTING MORE AND EDITING LESS!
