“As a founder of BWR, I have worked with Laurens over the span of 15 years, both directly, and through many of our publicists. He has always provided great work in a collaborative and professional manner.  He has given us the tools to do even better work. We have great regard for Laurens and would place our most valued clients in his hands.”

"After years of working with Laurens, I can honestly say he's become my go-to guy. His creativity, dedication and reliability are the qualities anyone hopes for in a fantastic photographer."

"I’ve worked with Laurens on a quarter million dollar shoot as he coordinated a staff of 30. It finished on time, and came out unbelievable. It wouldn’t have been as remarkable if it wasn’t that we were on an island, with inclement weather, lost cargo, and talent that fell ill. I don’t know another photographer that could have pulled that off!"

"I’ve had several experiences with my celebrity clients being photographed by Laurens and the end result is always the same: Stunning pictures and ecstatic talent. There’s no one I trust more to shoot my clients than Laurens!"

“Laurens is professional, works very well with celebrity clients while at the same time producing beautiful image results…not to mention he’s publicist friendly which isn’t always the easiest thing to find in this town.”

"With A-list stars like Cameron Diaz and Sandra Bullock in our films, there are very few photographers I trust. I need one that gets along with celebrities, and I need great pictures. The first name I think about for photography is always Laurens Antoine. The images are extraordinary, and his handling of the talent exceptional."

“Laurens sets himself apart from other photographers by his uncanny ability to work in high pressure situations. He works unbelievably well with publicists, managers, agents and the media each with separate agendas, and all at the same time. I’ve also watched him manage his own film crews capturing broadcast quality b-roll and interview footage from his shoots that are readily accepted by the networks.  And every shoot of Laurens’ leads to incredible images.”

“Since the day we brought Laurens on to shoot our new campaign, he’s been with us every step of the way. Creative and production meetings, strategy and brainstorming sessions. He even made sure that he sampled all the products and met with key clients. Our campaign is winning awards, getting us a ton of publicity and best of all; our sales are through the roof! “

"There’s a reason Laurens is the most published photographer in FHM’s history and it’s not his good looks!"

San Diego Photographer | Advertising & Editorials | Laurens Antoine

Editorial

  • Stunning pictorials with an eye for your advertisers

    Laurens is well known as one of the leading photographers of the time for creating sexy and provocative images without crossing lines that concern most advertisers. Careful posing techniques mixed with thoughtful scenes create content that draws and excites readers without insulting the masses, or Madison Avenue.

    The results are achieved through subtle details, appropriate scene selection for the poses, and wardrobe well planned for the story to stay within the confines of acceptability. Yet, the results are almost always sexier than having gone over the top.

  • Turn Key productions for today’s budgets

    A full staff including top sub-contractors of all types is available with one call. No need to hire a producer and then pay agency fees for the entire support staff. We can be booked as a package with top wardrobe, makeup, and hair artists as part of the package. We can also offer location and video coordination saving thousands of dollars compared to the traditional costs of shoots.

    You can shoot more content, save money, and sometimes both. We carry a 4 million dollar liability policy and can add the publisher, locations and other third parties that may require it without your having to lift a finger.

  • Celebrity experienced with the ability to get in and out fast

    With extensive celebrity experience, we know how to handle the talent, publicists and even media and still get everything needed in short time. We've done 5 scene shoots in under 90 minutes (not including makeup and hair), and have worked with 4 separate television crews recording at the same time.

  • Deadlines, even in the worst of conditions

    We’ve adapted to all conditions to get the job done. We've shot pictorials through storms, power losses, in the blazing sun, howling winds, and even through a major earthquake. We understand deadlines. We’re result oriented and excuse free.

  • Location services with coordination available

    We can plan travel, negotiate locations, and we have travel packs for most equipment. Remote locations without rental are not a problem. We work well within different cultures and are adept at organizing and planning ahead. Laurens has shot on 6 continents including many third world countries.

  • Media friendly, P.R. savvy,

    With extensive experience working with publicists and in the public relations industry, media at shoots is never a problem. Your brand will come first and we’ll see to it that as an extension of it things will go smoothly.


Advertising

  • Over 25 years experience in the fashion industry

    With over 25 years in the fashion industry, Laurens has worked as brand manager, marketing executive and even filled the shoes of creative director for many leading brands. This unique experience gives Laurens a more refined eye regarding the ultimate purpose of the shots versus most photographers. Being on the other side also means having experienced some of the lesser desired traits of some photographers, and him making a professional decision to avoid such practices.

    In-house advertising departments can also take advantage of these skills before the shoot even starts.


  • Attention grabbing shots that provoke feeling

    Attention grabbing shots of well-suited subjects means more eyeballs on your advertising. Leaving the reader with the right feeling makes a lasting impression. And, ads that are popular and talked about make for a successful campaign.

    Understanding your concept and putting the right picture on it is what we strive for at shoots. As part of your team, we work hard to accomplish each of these points.
  • Marketing savvy and production experience

    Great images along don’t always make great ads. If the composure is changed when framed to your specs, much of the intended impact can be lost. If you plan to use the same image in multiple applications it can take specialized knowledge to obtain the correct image. These issues can be greatly exaggerated when people are in the images.

    Because of our experience from multiple ends, we are uniquely qualified to deliver proper results that achieve your goals.
  • Nations’ best source of models available through us

    We have access to more models, and a better understanding of them than anyone else. From an agency stand-point we have an ongoing relationship with one the country’s top fashion model agencies, Click Models, including one of the largest commercial agencies, Flick East West Talent. And if you don’t want agency priced talent, we have one of the biggest databases of female talent that exists.

    To better understand this, visit the Model Portal section of this website. Casting services are only available to our clients and partners.
  • Fashion, swim and lingerie catalogs that sell

    We can do high production, catalog-style shoots in studio so you can have each color way of every style shot for your catalog, website and point of purchase materials.

    We can also do Victoria’s Secret Book style shoots in a mansion, on location, or in a fun-theme way that sets you or your client far apart from competitors.

    We can even do a combination or composite of the two so you can have images and sales tools for maximum productivity - and you can even shoot advertising at the same time.
  • Complete services available

    As we do on some editorial shoots, we can provide complete packages that include makeup, hair, wardrobe styling services, as well as models. We can even create behind the scenes videos for viral or customer use.
