Video and Photography Content
© 2023 Debra LaCoppola & Charles Meier
The company was founded by husband and wife team Debra LaCoppola and Charles Meier. Both are always on set and work seamlessly as creative and technical directors of your project. They contract with additional staff or teams as needed during production and post production.
Photoduo is known for both their focused attention to detail in every stage of the production process as well as a visually luscious artistic style. Debra and Charles are also respected for being friendly, down-to-earth, and easy to work with.
Debra and Charles both attended the School of Visual Arts in NYC and were based in New York for many years before settling on the west coast.
The team leads you through every stage of the project, from concept creation to post production.
Debra is behind the camera and takes on the creative direction. Charles is the technical master and can solve just about any problem that may arise on set or during post production.
Photoduo creates video content for healthcare practices and wellness brands. “We love telling stories. Long or short, loops or GIF’s. It’s all about the story,” says Debra. Photoduo has been creating inspired imagery for over twenty years.
The team is based in Los Angeles and Palm Springs, California and are often found working in nearby locations such as San Diego, Las Vegas, and Phoenix.

The first step. This is a brainstorming session where you and Debra will uncover your unique brand story and how to find the most compelling visual language to relate that narrative to your clients. Debra is an experienced and intuitive video branding artist, and makes this process easy, productive, and fun.
Once a contract is agreed upon and in place, the creative process for the video production work really begins.
Pre-Production follows concept development and is all about laying the groundwork. This includes scheduling, location scouting, styling, hair and makeup, grooming, script assistance, and determining who and what will contribute to the creation of your visual story. Debra is adept at determining available resources, such as pets, children, hobbies, or other lifestyle choices, that make up the unique and compelling narrative that is you.
Production is the actual shooting and production of creative content on location. Locations are determined and arranged in the pre-production phase, and may be outdoors, at a healthcare facility, or at a home or office. Debra and Charles plan each shoot meticulously and will work until the perfect imagery is captured.
Post Production is where the technical magic happens and the completed raw footage is pieced together to tell your cohesive brand story. The team records voice overs, adds music, creates visual effects, and more.
Charles grew up alongside his father building early computers in the garage and working at his grandfather’s Esso station on the Jersey shore, where he learned patience, problem solving, and a love of all things electrical and mechanical. As well as being a visual artist, he provides the technical and post-production wizardry for Photoduo.
There is nothing better than telling a story through film, Charles says.
