Gunnen Productions is a Los Angeles video and still photography production company. We make narrative film, commercial video, and photography that carries a frame — from the first slate to the final grade.
End-to-end motion production with our in-house video team — from concept and script through directing, cinematography, and post. Narrative features, branded films, commercials, and content built for the screen it lives on.
Editorial, fashion, celebrity, and portrait photography with the precision of a set and the instinct of a shoot. Fifteen years behind the lens, delivering images brands, magazines, and talent actually use.
Selected frames from Punkture (2025) — written & directed by Joshua Michael Shelton, starring Jay Tavare and Jay Irwin. Visit the film →
Every Gunnen production runs on a tight, senior crew. Our video production team handles the whole pipeline in-house — direction, camera, lighting, and post — so the vision that leaves pre-production is the one that reaches the screen. Small footprint, feature-grade output.

Gunnen Productions was founded by Joshua Michael Shelton, a Los Angeles photographer and director. Over nearly two decades he built a career in fashion, editorial, and celebrity photography — apprenticing under celebrity photographer Jack Guy before founding the headshot studio Headshots LA in 2010 and growing it into one of LA’s known names in actor and corporate headshots. Gunnen Productions is where that eye for image now moves into film and commercial work — beginning with the short film Punkture.
Feature, commercial, campaign, or a single decisive frame — tell us what you're building and we'll bring the crew.
