Working with Meghan was great! Super chill, had some mattifying powder onsite to prevent glare, and was super comfy to work with. The most intimidating part about working with a photographer for headshots is that it can be awkward. I’ve been in shoots where it was. And the photos were just okay. But I didn’t feel that with Meghan. She even had a poses book on the table that I flipped through as my coworkers were getting photographed. It was great. I’d recommend her. I would go back but I’m on the east coast!! More...

I worked with Meghan for a physique photoshoot, and she was absolutely amazing. I had never done a photoshoot like this before, so I didn't know what to expect, but she understood what needed to be done, and guided me through it. She captured all the photos and the angles that I had in my mind very expertly, and did a great job. I highly recommend her! More...

Working with Meghan Paddock Farrell is more than just a photography session; it is an opportunity to be part of a legacy of artistic excellence. Her studio is a gateway to experiencing the mastery of a craft refined over decades. For those fortunate enough to collaborate with Meghan, it is an unparalleled chance to engage with a master of the photographic arts. The pinnacle of our collaboration was the iconic One World Trade Center image, a masterpiece that not only gained international acclaim but also adorned the cover of Time Magazine, showcasing Meghan's extraordinary talent and vision. My association with Meghan Paddock Farrell, traces back to 1998. Meghan's professional odyssey, beginning with her evocative portrayal of the British 1990s Shoegazing scene, through to her transformative years in Los Angeles, working with esteemed organizations like Getty Images, Weider Publications, and SuperColor, has been a testament to her ever-deepening artistic vision. Her experiences in Los Angeles, especially under the mentorship of photography icons such as Norman Jean Roy and Giuliano Beaker, have been pivotal in crafting her unique photographic style—a style that beautifully integrates her diverse life experiences. Her approach to photography is both contemporary and timeless, resonating with the energy of youth culture and the sophistication of the professional world, while maintaining a profound connection with the fine art domain. Meghan's work is characterized by its edgy, bold, and communicative nature, employing composition and lighting to create compelling narratives. A distinctive aspect of her work is her affinity for the macro lens, which brings an intimate and detailed perspective to her subjects, whether in her renowned beauty work or her exquisite fine art botanical pieces. This close and personal approach in her photography is a reflection of her deep passion and expertise. In addition to her talents, Meghan's background as a professional photo retoucher and Photoshop expert, combined with her work with leading brands and publications globally, adds an unmatched level of perfection and nuance to her photography. While Meghan's studio in Portland, Oregon, stands as a beacon of her artistic and technical prowess, her work is not confined to this space. Meghan is known for her versatility and willingness to travel for shoots, often journeying to vibrant locations like Miami and Los Angeles, bringing her unique vision to diverse settings and projects. This blend of high-level photography with an acute understanding of color and technical processes distinguishes Meghan in the industry. Her reputation often leads to her being booked out a year in advance, a clear indicator of her eminent stature in the world of photography. More...

I needed a headshot and Meghan gave me exactly what I needed in a timely manner. She was very pleasant to work with and even accommodated my wanting to avoid flashing lights due to a migraine condition. She provided me with numerous photos from which to make a selection and did a great job of retouching the one I selected. It looks just like me, only a little bit better! I'm very happy with the result and recommend her highly. More...

Q&As

Listening to the need of the client first. Strong composition and setting a mood for the photograph. Also, you need good lighting and good equipment that you really know the ins and outs of how to use in order to make a really great photograph.

What is the intended use of the images? What is the most important thing you want to convey in your images? What feeling do you want your viewer to walk away with after looking at your photographs? It is important to know the clients intent, which they might not even know yet, so asking these questions helps solidify what look they are going for.

I love photography so much it's hard to know where to start. The fraction of a second, the lighting, the choice of lens, the focal depth, the subject, the composition, the artistry of the team. We weave tales of all that is human, what we see and feel and we leave that legacy behind until the end of days. I love old photographs that speak of what it meant to be human in times long gone. I love a photograph that delivers a visual experience through strong composition, and through human language. We can look at a human face and understand what that person is feeling because we all share the same emotional language. Photography helps me better understand my place in the universe.

I have been a freelance photo retoucher since 2007 and in 2013 inspiration finally hit and I decided to go all in with my photography.

I'm easy to work with. I listen to the clients needs and see that I exceed their expectations. I'm fun and professional and do top quality work.
