Cali Mag is proud to welcome MITCH STONE, celebrity hair stylist, accomplished photographer, and all-around creative powerhouse, as our new Director of Photography.

For more than two decades, Mitch has been the go-to name in Hollywood for crafting unforgettable looks and capturing equally unforgettable images.

His career has taken him from the heat of the red carpet to the intimacy of editorial shoots, styling and photographing some of the most iconic faces in entertainment for film, television, high-fashion campaigns, and glossy magazine covers.

Mitch’s artistry is defined by a signature blend of effortless glamour, impeccable lighting, and a fierce commitment to individuality. It’s a sensibility honed not just behind the camera, but also in the styling chair, giving him an unparalleled dual perspective on beauty and image-making.

His eye for detail transforms a moment into a story, whether he’s shooting a luxury beauty campaign, an intimate portrait, or a behind-the-scenes video for his A-list clients.

Photography, for Mitch, has always been personal. Inspired by his father, he learned the craft of
shooting and darkroom printing in his childhood home, developing an instinct for storytelling through imagery that still guides him today. His work, rich with authenticity, emotion, and elegance, has graced the pages of Vogue, Vanity Fair, Elle, and Harper’s Bazaar, cementing his status as a visionary in both beauty and photography.

Now, as Cali Mag’s Director of Photography, Mitch will bring his unique blend of Hollywood polish and California soul to our pages, capturing the people, places, and moments that define the Golden State.

One frame, and one story, at a time.
