SOCAL is LOCAL
Photos Delivered in 48 Hours or Less
I launched Berger PhotoPix in July 2021, just as the world was opening back up. Parties returned, weddings were on, and people were ready to celebrate—and I was ready to capture it all. After 30+ years as a newspaper photojournalist, it was the perfect moment to start fresh.

Event & Party Photography
Berger PhotoPix really came through for me to capture the essence of my event! Not only was he personable and exactly on time, I had a specific request and Berger PhotoPix was the only photographer to make my wishes come true! Bravo!!! Tim was able to bring out the best in each guest! His artistic sense combined with his expertise in lighting and subject matter had some of the evening photos transcend to resemble oil paintings ! Just beautiful! More...

Property Photography
I am an associate at Pacific Sotheby's International Real Estate. I was in need of property photos right away, I reached out to Tim and he was so responsive, willing to accommodate my short time frame. That being said, he was so professional, he knew exactly what shots were needed. Effortlessly shot house inside and out. He had the photos to me that same evening. They were terrific, showed the house at its best, created a real feel for the property. My client, whose home it was, could not have been happier. I highly recommend. More...

Hi Tracy, I was happy to do the work for you, and getting photos back you quickly to post on The MLS is my goal. Thank you for the great review!
Lisa
Sports Photography
Mr. Berger's exceptional expertise and outstanding work quality impressed us. Traveling from New Mexico for an event, we opted to capture our son's black belt promotion. A week-long research led me to the website Bark, where I submitted a form detailing our needs. Tim responded promptly, and we finalized details over the phone, scheduling an appointment. The photoshoot unfolded smoothly, with Mr. Berger showcasing professionalism and soliciting our input. We look forward to working with him again for our other son's promotion. The photo editing process yielded rapid results, with the final product delivered within hours. More...

It was my first time looking for a photographer, Tim was the best. I came in nervous with an entire class to have photos for, but once I saw the set up and thorough, consistent communication, I was set. Very good service, and very comfortable and satisfied with his work. Once again, thank you Tim! More...

Headshot Photographers
Working with Tim was great from start to finish! We hired Tim for a headshot photoshoot for our current USC student residents. Tim is friendly, professional, and clearly a great photographer- the headshots for 15+ students turned out amazing! Plus, the turnaround to receive digital copies was very quick. Our residents were happy, and we would definitely book Tim again for any other photographer-related events/needs! More...

Thank you, Khari! It was a great opportunity to do your portraits and I am truly looking forward to working with you again.
Ellie Kennedy
Tim was very easy to work with, very responsive in his communication—from initial contact through the photo shoot and after. I am an interior designer and Tim shot a recent project for me and I’m delighted with the quality of the photos, and excited to add them to my portfolio. He’s great at capturing the nuance of the design style, and how that differs from traditional Real Estate photography. Will use him again. More...

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
The simplest secret to great photography of people is to take more than one photo every time. Do you blink? If you are the photographer for two people, take two photos. If there are more than three, take enough photos to scale for the number of people in your shot. You may get lucky and all of the people will have their eyes open for every photo. I've shot a group of 8 with about eight photos taken and the same person blinked in seven. Some people just have a knack.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
Questions that I ask of clients are related to the job they have requested. I would like to know the spouse's name, the specific location where the request will be taking place, etc. I also confirm my shoot rate if the job goes longer than the scheduled time.
What do you love most about your job?
Photography is as much about art as it is about documentation of the moment. The instant I take a great photo, it feels good.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Working as a photojournalist, I was around a lot of people all of the time. I am good with people and I enjoy their company. I started my business to continue my excellent photography and to be around people.
