Ian Spanier is an award-winning commercial and editorial portrait, travel, outdoor/adventure and fitness photographer based in Los Angeles.

Ian Spanier began taking photographs at six years old when his parents gave him his first point and shoot camera. After majoring in photography in college, Spanier worked in publishing as an editor, but making pictures never left him. Having only known 35mm, he taught himself medium and large format as well as lighting.

Speaking and sharing his experiences and work has become a recent addition to Spanier’s regular schedule with appearances at camera stores across the country, PPA, NY Photo Expo, Canon and B&H Photo.

Ian is a Westcott “Top Pro,” and a brand ambassador for Westcott, Hoodman USA, SpiderHolster and Imagenomic.

The original masters of photography have always inspired Spanier as they shot what they saw. For him, there is no “one” subject that he photographs; he also chooses to shoot what he sees.

Although he works anywhere and everywhere, Spanier left NY in 2014 for the sunny coast, and now lives in Los Angeles, Ca.

" When it comes to the accessories I use on ALL my jobs, the decision is simple: what will aide me in doing my job with ease and reliability? I am a very hand-on photographer, freeing my hands is necessary, Spider Holster Products LITERALLY make this work.

From the full Spider Holster Belt system to my personal favorite, The Spider X, to the pouches and backpack support systems, I am always relying on Spider Holster to get the shoot done." - Ian Spanier
