Award winning professional fine art photographer Leslie Miranda has made it his mission in life to incorporate photography into his daily life. Originally from New Orleans, Leslie moved to Los Angeles and began Leslie Miranda Photography, which specializes in travel, event, portraiture, and lifestyle photography, in 2007. He also has a group of aspiring amateur photographers that call him professor at Tao of LMP. Leslie’s photography classes incorporate the main understanding of Tao of Photography, which focuses on the communication produced and delivered by every photograph released by every photographer.

When not working with the Getty Museum of Los Angeles to showcase how irresponsible trash littering is killing our community and waterways, or exhibiting his mixed media pieces at Jeanie Madsen Gallery in Santa Monica, Leslie is sought for his creative eye and unique approach. He takes on jet setting and local photo assignments, covering everything from food and drink to destination weddings. Leslie has a passion for traveling and for discovering untouched destinations for the budget-savvy traveler. He has found a way to donate his photography to several not-for-profits and works with others including The Theodore Paine and TJ Martel Foundations. Other clients include C Magazine, Santa Monica Mirror, Elle Décor, and Wall Street Journal.

Leslie, whose mantra is “Play hard and always give,” is currently creating an online arts and travel magazine called Dialogue Inc, so please stay tuned.
