Stuart Townsley - Photographer/Owner
For the past three years Stuart Townsley has been running Townsley Portraits out of his studio in Los Angeles. He has been a photographer for 12 years. He was born and educated in LA but picked up photography while living abroad. Upon his return he studied portraiture with Victor Avilas and Monte Zucker. In 2000 he met and started working for his mentor Curtis Dahl. His goal is to be the best in all areas that are important to your portrait. Great images, a great shoot experience, terrific personality and awesome customer service. Using a combination of traditional portraiture and funky, fast, artsy images he gives amazing images to select from.
He has been featured in magazines, on VH1′s “my big fat fabulous wedding,” on many websites and in designers’ “look books.” His work is found in the homes of many of Los Angeles’ and Las Vegas’ most prominent families.
He is in love with his KIDS. Other passions include bicycling, travel, magic, music and movies. He hopes to someday make the perfect dessert for all occasions using sugar-free Jello.
