about
I’m Talisa Monet,the creator behind the camera.
Calling Los Angeles home, traveling wherever stories unfold.

I’ve got you.
From concept to final shot. I bring the full package, from big picture vision to the perfect last frame. My Westlake Village studio is my creative playground for portraits and product shoots, but I’m just as at home on location, bringing a brand’s story to life.
My work lives at the intersection of creativity and strategy, where strong visuals don’t just look good, they actually do something.
I’m a creative partner to CRTE. The public-facing brand here is Talisa Monet: photography, film, UGC, and direction under my name. CRTE is the agency I lead creatively. This studio is how the pictures get made.
Fueled by caffeine, creativity, and a determination that could power a small city. Whether you’re a start-up or an established brand, I’m here to help you grow, stand out, and look damn good doing it.

Food, studio, product, location.
Every still currently on the site, grouped the way the Pixieset collections were. More sets drop in here as they land.
Outside the work.
Behind the scenes, I’m grounded by a full life: my family, my kids, my pets, and a close-knit circle of friends and family who keep me inspired and balanced. That support system fuels everything I create.
Family and portrait work still lives in the studio and on location galleries. If you want a session that feels like you, that’s the work too.
