Working in Las Vegas

If you're looking for a portrait or editorial photographer in Las Vegas, Slagle has worked the city for two decades. The work breaks into three rough modes: neon-soaked downtown editorial (the El Cortez series, Fremont, Casino Center), clean studio portraiture out of the Post Road Loft ten minutes from the Strip — where the Will the Show series and Jordan King boxing portraits were shot — and desert frames just outside the city: Joshua Tree, Mojave dust, the cross at the edge of nowhere.

Vegas shoots typically run a half-day or full-day. Bookings include pre-production, art direction, lighting, and a set of retouched final files. Strip permissions are handled in-house when needed. The Post Road Loft is also available by inquiry for outside productions.
