    2018-12-10 15:39:00 UTC

    It’s time for another stock photo update. I had the pleasure of working with Zipcar yet again, but this time in Seattle. I was on a family vacation, but needed to shoot a car with a bike rack and I easily found one in Seattle. Thankfully my friend Sorelle and…

    2017-08-15 19:13:28 UTC

    Finally reunited with Gabe! I can’t believe it took us 3 years! He’s lived in LA for a while now, but it’s nothing like when he lived in south beach. I was at his apartment every single day. We always hung out, but now in California I’ve seen him ONCE!…

    Something many of you may not know about me is I shoot for a rad company called Flashstock! They are such a blast to work with because I’ve gained so many clients through them. They’ll send me assignments for a specific brand or company and I get to pick and…


  15. Headshots

    2017-05-23 16:10:16 UTC

    I always love taking headshots! My headshot section is actually hidden on my site though because that’s not the primary photography I do. Most headshots are done in studio, whereas I shoot headshots on location in natural light. Feel free to check out more headshots at www.karanixon.com/headshots! I had the…

    2017-04-24 17:40:05 UTC

    It is always a blast creating with other photographers, but man I love getting together with Dylan because he’s so artsy and pushes me out of my comfort zone. We met for coffee and chatted a bit, then we wandered around San Juan Capistrano and snapped some photos. He wanted…

    2017-04-09 22:05:04 UTC

    Ashleigh and I had a spontaneous shoot recently! We headed to Noguchi Garden in Costa Mesa only to find out it is no longer open to photography. They now only allow cell phone photography or require a permit for photography with a professional camera. Such a bummer because we had…
