STUDIO 1289

LOS ANGELES

Studio 1289 was conceived to address the lack of a V.I.P. studio facility in Los Angeles. For many jobs, renting studio space in an environment where other photographers are shooting and not having privacy isn't a problem. Here in Los Angeles, often times the subject would prefer a private place to work, one where the members of his or her team will have ample space to relax while the shooting takes place but still be unobtrusively on-hand when needed.

Until now, Studio 1289 has only been available on an invitation basis. Our facility is two blocks from Beverly Hills in the Sunset Strip area of West Hollywood, eight minutes from the labs and suppliers in the Hollywood area and yet a world away. We can organize complete catering for up to 30 people, dining facilities next to our 44' x 18' swimming pool or on our outdoor Moroccan deck. There are also two large gardens with unique photographic settings including a nineteenth-century Chinese opium bed. Indoors we have a comfortable kitchen / dining room which can serve as a client working space, complete with piano, fax and telephones.

The daylight studio features a 150 sq. foot pyramid skylight centered over the 24x45 foot shooting space. The studio has windows facing East and North as well. It is painted white from floor to ceiling. The floor itself is painted 6% gray to avoid the "snow light" effect. We have a complete grip kit for your use with each rental. The complex has 400 amps of power available. There is an outdoor shooting space measuring 40' x 16' with plaster walls that receives indirect and bounced daylight reflected into it from the white building.
