Ivy Reynolds is a photographer and visual producer based in Los Angeles.

What I do

I make images that feel true — whether I’m directing a shoot for a brand, documenting a moment as it happens, or building something entirely from imagination.

How I got here

My high school teacher handed me a camera, and the lights turned on. I dropped my first 35mm in the ocean, found a $12 twin-lens camera, and spent the next two decades seeing the world in squares. I was living inside Instagram before Instagram existed.

Where I've been

Commercial work for UCLA, Airbnb, and Amazon. Getty Images. A summer student trip overseas to Italy, Greece, and Turkey that still informs every decision I make. Most days you’ll find me in my garden in South Pasadena with my family.

What's next

Something as beautiful as Merchant Ivory. A house I design myself. Fluent French. Paris, part-time. But first — the next shoot.
