The most populated city in California, and the 2nd most populated city in the United States, Los Angeles is a sprawling mass of urban development. There are few significant natural landmarks within city limits but 10,000+ ft Mount Baldy forms the backdrop from 30 miles away. L.A. features a photogenic downtown skyline that can be seen from all over the surrounding areas and has iconic beaches. Culturally, the city is a diverse mix of latino influences and Hollywood glamour.

I grew up in the San Gabriel Valley located just on the outskirts of L.A. This image gallery features my travel pictures of downtown Los Angeles, Olvera Street, Malibu, Santa Monica, the Santa Monica Mountains, Venice Beach and Rancho Palos Verdes.

About Richard Wong Photography

As a professional fine art photographer, Growing up in the San Gabriel Valley gave me intimate knowledge of Los Angeles' ever-changing light and weather patterns. Over two decades of photographing this city, I've developed techniques specifically adapted to LA's unique conditions – from capturing the rare snow on Mount Baldy to timing the perfect alpenglow on downtown's glass towers.

My Los Angeles collection focuses on the intersection of urban development and natural beauty that defines Southern California. Each print represents hours of planning, often returning to locations multiple times to capture the perfect combination of light, weather, and atmospheric conditions.
