About
I’ve been a professional photographer for over 26 years. I worked for many publications, including Rollingstone Magazine, FHM and Playboy and have covered very special events, such as the Grammys and The Oscars. Although, as of lately to be close to my son, I do Headshots and portraits out of my garage studio or portraits on location at a park or on the beach. I also enjoy doing weddings and events. I’ve been featured on many TV shows and podcasts as such as fuse music battle of the bands and even the Howard Stern show.

Karl shot my son’s wedding in August and did a really great job. So many pictures and such wonderful moments captured beautifully. I am so grateful that he was available and accommodating on such short notice.

I had a great photo shoot with Karl. In about an hour, he took many photos inside his studio and outdoors, capturing a natural backdrop that complemented the photos well. I received all the photos a couple of days after working with Karl and had a big selection to choose from.

Karl, did an excellent job capturing the surprise proposal for my fiancée and I. We had initially planned to meet earlier and capture the sunset but an accident on PCH caused us to be late. Karl was super patient and understanding. Although it was dark, he still managed to capture great photos.

We recently worked with Karl Larson for a family photoshoot in Santa Barbara with a group of 10, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we met Karl, his warm and friendly personality set the tone for what turned out to be an incredibly fun and joyful session. Coordinating such a large group can sometimes feel overwhelming, but Karl made everything effortless. He has an incredible talent for keeping everyone engaged, from the youngest to the oldest, making the shoot feel natural and relaxed. We were laughing, smiling, and genuinely enjoying ourselves the entire time — and it really shows in the photos. Karl’s eye for capturing candid, beautiful moments is truly special, and his professionalism and creativity made the whole experience stress-free and enjoyable. If you’re looking for a photographer who not only delivers stunning photos but also creates an unforgettable experience, we can’t recommend Karl enough. Our family will treasure these photos for years to come, and we’re so grateful to Karl for making the day such a wonderful memory.
