Bio - Sparks Photographers

I just want to take an honest portrait.

It was a moment, a whisper she overheard that gave Angela the lifelong pursuit of esteemed image making. At age twelve her grandmother gave her a camera, and then she overheard her parents whispering that there was no way she would be able to figure out how to use it. Well, she did. Angela now travels the world searching for adventure and genuine expression. More than anything she loves when there is a little magic to be captured, and somehow, she finds it in spades! How lucky is that? Angela’s vision has helped tell stories and create successful campaigns for a wide range of clients. Angela lives in LA with her partner and longtime collaborator Ithyle Griffiths, their children, a couple of dogs and a bunch of chickens.
