I worked with Chris on a TV commercial project and he was the stills photographer. He was awesome to work with, quick at his job, and very professional! He's a great personality and vibe to have on set and he's definitely someone you should look to hire for photography or for videography!

Chris Frara was an absolute pleasure to work with on our two-day photoshoot. He brought an exceptional level of professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail to every aspect of the production. He made everyone feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera, resulting in authentic and beautifully captured moments. I was especially impressed by his efficiency and ability to keep the shoot organized, on schedule, and running smoothly across both days without ever compromising the quality of his work. His calm, collaborative approach made the entire experience enjoyable for everyone involved. I highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for a skilled, dependable, and genuinely wonderful photographer to work with.

We brought Chris in for a lifestyle product photography shoot for our brand in Santa Monica, and we're honestly stoked with how it turned out. We needed updated product photography that would work across our website, e-commerce and paid social while still feeling true to the brand and not overly produced. Since these images are being used for commercial campaigns, it was important that everything felt polished but still natural. He has a great way of getting people comfortable on set, so nothing felt stiff or posed, which made a real difference in the final images. The product still stands out, but the moments feel authentic and easy. As a growing company, it's not always easy finding a Los Angeles commercial photographer who understands both the creative side and how visuals actually need to perform across marketing, and he really understands that balance. The images are already live and the response has been great. We'll definitely be working with him again.

We hired Chris for a full campaign launch in West Hollywood and couldn't be happier. He handled our campaign video and product photography and everything came back ready for web, ecommerce and paid ads. Super easy to work with and really dialed in on what we were trying to say as a brand. The shoot felt organized but relaxed which made a big difference for our team. Easily one of the best commercial photographers in Los Angeles.

Working with Chris Frara was a great experience. Very professional. Ultra talented. Definitely an effective communicator when it comes to his creative work and feedback. Which isn't always the case with many creatives. He shot some studio photos and video of my footwear brand Savalé. The work came out extremely high quality. I highly recommend him.
