Editorial Photography for Ball Family Farms Magazine Feature

When a brand is shaping an industry, its story deserves to be told with power and precision. This editorial photography gallery showcases a magazine cover and feature shoot created for Ball Family Farms, one of Los Angeles’ leading Black-owned cannabis cultivation companies. Produced for a Cannabis Business Times B2B cover story, this session was designed to capture both authority and authenticity—portraits that communicate leadership, innovation, and integrity at every level.

With a tight production timeline and editorial requirements to meet, the session focused on creating clean, professional, personality-driven images that balanced corporate polish with genuine character. The resulting portraits highlight the strength, vision, and unity of the Ball Family Farms executive team - presenting them not only as business leaders, but as cultural trailblazers redefining what success looks like in the modern cannabis industry.

As a Los Angeles editorial and brand photographer, I specialize in magazine-style photography for companies, executives, and founders featured in B2B publications. My approach combines intentional lighting, strong composition, and storytelling that aligns with each client’s voice and publication’s tone.

These photographs were created to support a long-form feature article while enhancing Ball Family Farms’ visibility across print, digital publications, and media-driven platforms. More than just portraits, they’re strategic brand assets - designed to humanize leadership, strengthen credibility, and position the company as a thought leader within the cannabis, agriculture, and business communities.

Editorial photography connects professionalism with personality. When done with purpose, it not only supports press coverage but also tells a brand’s story in a way that inspires confidence, trust, and respect.
