What to Expect During the Session

When you arrive at the meeting point—inside the Ovation Hollywood shopping mall area at 6801 Hollywood Blvd—you’ll quickly spot your guide, a tall photographer with a camera and iPad, ready to start. The location is straightforward: right at the intersection of Hollywood Blvd and Highland Ave, across from the Metro E Line station. Whether you arrive by rideshare or public transport, getting there is simple.

The session itself is designed to be quick but impactful. You’ll pose for photos with a full-frame Sony A7S III camera equipped with a Grand Master lens—think of it as Hollywood’s top-tier gear. The photographer’s experience shines through, focusing on creating images that look like stills from a film you’d want to watch again.

You can expect a variety of shots, with some focusing on capturing the classic Hollywood glamour, while others lean into storytelling. The goal? To produce images that feel cinematic and authentic, rather than stiff or overly posed. The emphasis on skin-tone correction and color balancing ensures your photos look natural and vibrant.

The Shooting Experience

Many reviews highlight how efficient the session is. One reviewer noted, “It’s a quick session but the quality is impressive. I got over 15 images that look like they belong in a magazine.” Another added, “The photographer was professional and quick, and the photos were delivered via email in no time.”

The use of physical glass filters (not digital) for the photos adds a tangible, vintage feel to the images. While digital filters are common, these real filters contribute to a slightly softer, more cinematic effect, which many appreciated, especially since the photos are suited for social media or dating apps.

The Location: Hollywood Blvd and Highland Ave

The chosen location is iconic for a reason. Hollywood Blvd offers a bustling, recognizable backdrop that immediately transports you into Hollywood’s heart. The intersection with Highland Ave is a classic spot with enough foot traffic and visual interest to make your photos pop.

Since you’re shooting in front of Metro stations and near other recognizable landmarks, the photos will have that authentic Hollywood feel. However, because it’s a public space, be prepared for some background activity. The photographer will work to frame you well, but a certain level of street ambiance is unavoidable.

The Photos and Delivery

For $55, you get 15+ pre-color corrected, skin-tone balanced images, which is a solid offering. The photos are delivered via Airdrop or email, making access quick and hassle-free. They’re formatted to look polished and cinematic, perfect for posting on social media or dating profiles.

One point to note: no physical prints are included, so if you want tangible souvenirs, you’ll need to print them yourself or use a photo service afterward. Still, in today’s digital age, having high-quality, ready-to-share images instantly is often more valuable.
