A look into the Los Angeles Times portrait studio at Comic-Con 2019

On our annual trek to Comic-Con International. in San Diego, we’ve opened up the Los Angeles Times Photo and Video Studio to snap shots of and interview the celebrities, showrunners and cast members of ongoing shows and upcoming movies and shows that look to make an impression with the discerning crows in San Diego.

Photographer Jay L. Clendenin runs a lively and entertaining photo studio as dozens of cast members pose, party and look their best for his camera. We’ve compiled just a few of the images here as casts from “Emergence,” “The Order,” “Teen Titans Go!” and the upcoming “Evil” make their way into the studio.
