About
Cassandra Plavoukos is an award-winning advertising, editorial, and fine art photographer based in Los Angeles, California. Fueled by a lifelong passion for the visual and performing arts, her work captures the movement, emotion, and authenticity of her subjects through dynamic composition and expressive lighting. With a strong foundation in visual storytelling, Cassandra brings a blend of creativity, technical expertise, and passion to every project—anchored by strong organizational, communication, and project management skills that ensure every vision is brought to life with precision and purpose.
A people-person by design, her vision as an artist is to create authentic imagery that honors the beauty of self-expression and celebrates the essence of the human creative impulse that she believes lives within everyone. Whether capturing a quiet mood or explosive energy, she views every assignment as a chance to peel back the layers and create an emotional connection.
In addition to her commercial work, Cassandra has expanded her passion for visual storytelling into the world of Real Estate. Leveraging her career of capturing the soul of her subjects through a lens, she now helps clients find their "soul’s home" in Los Angeles. Her real estate practice, built on the same foundation of precision, purpose, and heart, can be found at
Originally from southern New Jersey, Cassandra resides in Los Angeles with her husband and two children. Her deep roots in the community and her "zest for life" fuel her commitment to helping families build generational wealth through homeownership in historic neighborhoods such as West Adams, Jefferson Park, and Mid City.
