It's a do-able drive in one day from L.A. but not all that much fun, lots of rather dull desert for much of the trip. Although we've seen deer, elk and pronghorn while driving (not necessarily easy to photograph, just saw them out there). Depending on your time and what you want to spend on the road, Route 66 east from Kingman is a little more interesting with a couple of classic old road/railroad towns that have been bypassed by the new highway. But it is somewhat slower when compared to modern divided highway interstates. Don't waste time on the Grand Canyon Caverns.
Check out the "Points." Some are well suited to morning views, some to sunset views. The Park has a toruist guide paper that will help with planning or give some ideas. also it will list ranger guided activities, some of which will be good for picture taking, but may also be kind of crowded. Check before you go, it's also on line and also check on the shuttle and/or road limitations. It's been a while since we visited so not sure what the current situation is for that.
