After moving from her native Massachusetts in the 80′s, PRETTYBIRD director Peggy Sirota found herself working at Fred Segal’s in Hollywood where she taught herself how to use a camera. She was soon taking headshots for her actor/model co-workers and a career as a photographer was born.

Twenty years later, Sirota is now known for her heartfelt, evocative, slice-of-life imagery and her “Elegant Snapshots.” Her candid and emotional images reveal much about her subjects as she captures authentic whimsy, playfulness, joy and introspection.
Sirota has photographed some of the most famous personalities in the world including Steven Spielberg, Madonna, Yoko Ono, Jack Nicholson, Brad Pitt, His Holiness The 14^th Dalai Lama, Julia Roberts, Harrison Ford, Tina Turner, Cameron Diaz, President George W. Bush, Nicole Kidman, Tom Ford, 50 Cent, Jodie Foster, George Clooney, Jennifer Aniston, Tom Cruise, Jessica Simpson, Fergie, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Al Green.
