I believe the key to a successful shoot is solid preparation, keeping yourself open to collaboration, and above all, having a sense of humor.
Since 1987 I've worked out of my studio in a converted bakery building on the edge of Culver City and LA. It's one of the few remaining studios left in the area, and it's a great location for studio work and a good base for location. As photography evolves and motion increasingly takes a bigger role in our work the studio is able to provide the ideal facility for whatever project comes up.
