TL: DR: I’m Leigh Andersen, a photographer's agent and visual content strategist based in Los Angeles, and I really, really love what I do. I work well with and without roadmaps, and bring a high level of creativity, leadership and organization to everything I do.

I work with brands to concept and execute creative productions, and I source, manage and hire creative talent for their campaigns, calling on my network of photographers, directors, producers, set designers, stylists and hair & makeup artists to put together the best creative team for every project.  

I also work with photographers and visual artists to refine their vision, identify their strengths, streamline their creative and demystify the process of getting hired. 

Who I am

I specialize in the marketing, curation and commercial development of visual artists. I have been a photographer's agent since 2004, and have also worked as a photo editor, producer, casting agent, and way, way back, studio manager. In 2018 I founded Sibling, an agency representing an amazing group of photographers. Areas of expertise include client and artist relations, business development, photo shoot production, art buying, casting, budget management, licensing and negotiation, photo editing, and curation of artist's web content and portfolio. The bulk of my experience lies in fashion, advertising, entertainment and celebrity and music photography.
