Noel Bass

I attended a wedding where he was a photographer. He is professional which is a plus. His work speaks for itself. The pictures were beautiful! Thank you for making this wedding a memorable moment!

Noël has the eye to truly great shots — and he knows how to get them. If you want a great photographer who genuinely cares about his work, and thus your project — Noël is the guy!
Plus, he’s a great guy and super easy to work with — you can’t lose!

I am a web-​series producer, and found Noël online, as I was drawn to the quality of his shots. We emailed, spoke on the phone, and he listened to what I was trying to accomplish. He had asked me to send him any imagery, thoughts, or ideas I had for my project, we also spoke on the phone quite a bit. We literally just met face-​to-​face on the day of the shoot, and he had captured everything I wanted in the very first shot. I realized he had already been working on my concept from the very first contact we made. I give all of you my heartfelt recommendation for Noël and his work. He is my photographer from here on out.

We have used Noël for two events and could not be happier. His photos are amazing, he has a great personality and he gives us the discs so quickly (he even hand-​delievered them to our house). And my 90 year-​old grandmother who complains about everyone just LOVES him! We will definitely be using him again.

I found Noël through a friend and hired him for my wedding. He was exactly the right guy for the job– extremely professional and the photos turned out great, but he was also relaxed and easy-​going, always asking what we wanted and willing to be flexible. I so appreciated that on my wedding day! I would highly recommend Noël to anyone.

We used Noël Bass for my husband’s 40^th Birthday party at the Huntley Hotel in Santa Monica. He was so amazing. He arrived promptly and was very polite. He took some individual photos of my husband and I before all of the guests arrived. He has a very pleasant and professional manner about him. He captured all of the moments that we discussed. We received the disc with all of the re-​touched photos that we shared with our guests. We got such positive feedback from all of the guests and our family about how professional his photos were. The photos were a nice party favor for all of the guests. We would definitely use him again, no question!

We used Noël for an event last year at the Four Seasons, Beverly Hills. What a wonderful surprise he turned out to be. He showed up as scheduled and took so many amazing pictures. He’s personable, professional and his rates are very reasonable. Many of our guests asked for his information. We’ll definitely be using Noël’s services for future events.

We found Noël 2 years ago on Craigslist when searching for a photographer for our twin’s 3^rd birthday party. Always a bit nervous about hiring anyone new but he was great about emails and replying and very personable from the beginning and that was a good sign. He has a great about taking requests and directions too.
Needless to say, we looked him up again this year for the 4^th birthday party and he was even better than last year! His price is very reasonable for the work he does and the delivery time is very quick, which I really like. He is good with the kids and has captured some excellent memorable shots of our kids and their friends too. He is also very comfortable to be around and it’s like he’s a part of the party guest (some guests actually thought so) so that was a big plus too.
Two thumbs up for Noël!

I’m a musician, and I’ve worked with Noël a couple of times. I first discovered him while browsing Craigslist looking for a photographer. I was immediately impressed by the level of quality and artistry in his portfolio; Noël is a dynamic photographer who can meet the needs of the project, be a band shoot or a wedding. We performed a shoot at a house, and he was game for all our ideas, and was able to make it happen. I use one of his photographs on my personal business card. The second time I worked with him, around 2 years later, I sent him a text at 3pm for a last-​minute shoot that we wanted to have that very night. Again, he was game, gave us a fair price, and went out of his way to make it happen. Noël met us at our location, and when we realized the space wasn’t adequate for our needs, he actually invited us back to his OWN apartment to perform the shoot! How much more generous and game can you be! Not only is Noël the consumate professional, he’s also a fellow artist who can relate to other artists and meet them half-​way. When you’re working with him you get the feeling that you’re working with a friend who wants your project to turn out great as much or even more than you do.

Noël shot my daughter’s Bat Mitzvah and managed to capture every moment from very personal family shots to special moments at the temple and great party shots. He listened to what I was looking for and went for it. He’s easy to work with and managed to blend in to the service and the party while still getting the emotion of the day. He was recommended by a friend and I’m so pleased to refer him on. If you’re looking for someone with the talent, sensitivity and joy of photography… hire Noël. Our photos are quite stunning with beautiful lighting and our friends and family couldn’t be more excited to get prints.

Noël is an amazing person — awesome photography skills, down-​to-​earth attitude and always has a smile on his face. He helped us with our engagement photo-​shoot a few months ago. We recently reached out to him for another one next month… we are two very happy repeat customers.
I found Noël through craigslist and reached out to him. Loved his portfolio and wanted to work with him. But I had a feeling that he was probably out of our budget. I emailed him and told him what we wanted and how much we could afford. He was very polite and made it work, even though it was a «small» job for him. He was very responsive to our queries and he sent detailed emails ahead of time to set the expectations right.
On the night of the shoot, he was there on time (in fact, we were a little late). We got started right away and didn’t waste any time at all. In fact, he was the time-keeper…we just relaxed and didn’t worry about anything. He made us COMFORTABLE. I couldn’t tell you how important this was to make sure we were natural and, more importantly, we were having fun. The shoot went as planned and two-​three days after that, he uploaded ALL the pictures in hi-​resolution. Now, I have worked with other photographers who would only send you low-​res of a select few and then they have to edit before they can share high res. I think Noël told us that he runs all the images through this software that does some auto color corrections and he uploads all of them. I don’t know how much of this is skills vs. equipment, but I was pleasantly surprised to see how sharp those images were.
We had a lot of fun working with Noël… and now we have some beautiful memories.

If you are looking for an incredibly talented photog with a down-​to-​earth style, here’s your guy…
Noël is awesome… he helped me with a rather unique project, which I was quite nervous about. All I can say is that I could not have dreamed of better results. It was my first time working with him and participating in any kind of photo shoot, period. He completely put me at ease and made me look and feel like myself. Very positive experience, and I am already very likely to use him again for another, quite different project in a month or so. Very responsive and prompt with the product as well. Beyond happy!

My family and I just did a shoot with Noël last week and absolutely loved working with him. Being from out of town prevented us from meeting ahead of time. I only had a chance to communicate over email and he was so detailed and informative that it made it so easy! He was so wonderful to work with! Working with a group of 13 can be very difficult but he managed us very well! I would absolutely recommend him to everyone!

Sooooo happy with my photo shoot with Noël. He’s a lovely guy and was very attentive and patient. The photos came out beautifully! So talented for such a reasonable price. Thanks Noël!

I needed a couple product shots for our business and luckily found Noël off of Craigslist. Overall, I would totally recommend him — his prices are extremely reasonable, he’s awesome to work with, and his quality is terrific.
We emailed a couple times before the shoot so he knew what I was looking for and from the short amount of dialogue we had, he seemed easy to work with and did not have a prima donna vibe that I got from some other photographers I was talking to.
He was able to squeeze me into his schedule on a fairly short amount of time. He showed up promptly and we finished the shoot within his estimated 3 hour timeframe. Anyhow, during the whole time he had great suggestions for other shots that might be useful (which I totally appreciated).
The finished product — exactly what I was looking for.
I’ll definitely be working with him again in the future!

Noël Bass is an incredible photographer! I am an event coordinator and see many photographers and their work. I hired Noël Bass to do a styled photo shoot for an event and he exceeded my wildest expectations. Not only did he care about the shoot by rearranging and restyling props to make it perfect he stayed for an additional few hours to get perfect shots. When I received my photos I truly was so thrilled. They were beautiful. I just hired him again to take photos of a business for their products and website. If you want a reliable, hard working, talented and professional Photographer Noël Bass is the one for you!

Artistic, Professional, Charismatic and just plain BAD ASS!!!
We are extremely appreciative and pleased with Noels work, character and attention to detail. This was the first time my fiancé or I had ever taken professional photos, and professional they were! The week prior to our shoot, I spoke to Noël via email and over the phone and I knew from that point on, he would do a great job! He responded to every email promptly and laid out the business end of things very clearly as well.
On the day of our shoot we picked up Noël in the arts district of DTLA and for the next three and half hours we toured a few spots around the city, dodged a couple of security guards, made a couple of outfit changes (in my car), and even got some time to chat over a beer. When we received our pics a few days later, we knew he would be our wedding photographer as well! The quality of the photos is amazing and we will be sending a handful back to him for more editing.
He is open to your suggestions and has an eye for capturing that perfect moment, kiss or embrace!
We wholeheartedly recommend Noël for any photography needs!!!

Wow, wow and wow!
What can I say other than wow! We were looking for a photographer for our upcoming wedding when a friend had to pull out and went to craigslist to hep us with our quest.
We heard back from a couple of people and set up a phone call with them (highly recommended). When it came to talking to Noël we were both giving the thumbs ups due to his enthusiasm (he actually likes photographing weddings!) and laid back attitude. We finished the call with «you are our photographer» and he sent us over an amusing questionnaire to help him prepare for our meeting.
We met with him earlier today for our engagement shoot (see uploaded photo) and admired his creativity and again the cool laid back attitude. I consider myself pretty bad in front of a camera but he made me feel very comfortable and was able to take some great shots of us giving enough but not too much direction.
The locations he chose in downtown LA were awesome and the pictures badass.
At the end of the day, both my fiancé and I were remarking on how relaxing a day we had and how glad we were to do it (we were just going to have him do the wedding but after checking out the wonderful pictures on his website were easily convinced that we should get him to do an engagement shoot).
We’ll be getting married in a couple of weeks and we can’t wait to have him capturing our big day!

If you need some headshots, photographs for an event, etc., Noël Bass is THE DUDE!
I found him off of craigslist. I saw the quality of his look. Needless to say, I was really impressed. This guy can not only capture BEAUTIFUL pictures, he can do what is the hardest thing for most photographers to do: capture the soul, the essence of the subject and boy he did!
I needed him to shoot some photographs of me for my website. I had three ideas in mind. Not to go into detail, but, RIGHT ON THE SPOT, Noël came up with some extraordinary ideas for a backdrop,.right in my own neighborhood. I couldn’t believe it! I was impressed!
Unlike with other photographers, the photo shoot went by really well, and Noël knew how to give great direction which is very important for photographers to do!
He is also cool in that he works with your budget, he is very reasonable, extremely reasonable DESPITE his immense talent and I believe he told me has been doing this for quite some time. He also gives you the photographs the same day. Many photographers I have worked with don’t do that, which is very cool I must say!
He does everything from headshots, weddings, etc. So, if you need someone to take some really impressive photographs of ya, he is teh dude. He is professional and very chill!
