ABOUT SHILOH
I want to know you - not just take your photo.
I'm Shiloh Strong — Brooks Institute-trained photographer and filmmaker (DGA, WGA, SAG-AFTRA) based out of The Surf Shack Studio in Santa Monica, California. I've spent fifteen-plus years telling visual stories and photographing actors, artists, and people who believe in themselves. You should too. :)

COMMUNITY
Founder, Ashes To Films
In 2025, Shiloh founded Ashes To Films (A2F) — a nonprofit supporting fire-affected filmmakers in Los Angeles. Born from losing his own home to a wildfire in 2009, A2F provides funding, mentorship, and a platform for artists rebuilding their creative lives after crisis. The inaugural year A2F helped 25 new short films made by fire-impacted filmmakers a reality and the Ashes To Films festival screened 41 stories of resilience to nearly 1,000 attendees. A2F received the Phoenix Award at the 2026 Lumen Awards.
01
Pre-Book & Consult
We schedule a pre-shoot Zoom call. I want to find out what you want to create with me — goals, inspirations, ideas, dreams, props, wardrobe. All the fun stuff!
THE PROCESS
Four steps. No surprises.
02
Hair and Makeup
Your H&M artist meets us at the Surf Shack. This is required — it's not optional and it's not a luxury. It's the difference between a good photo and a great one. I only work with the best artist.
