STUDIO LOCATIONS

What do I need to know about your Los Angeles Studio?

The Los Angeles studio is located at 2906 Denby Avenue, in Los Angeles. The location is a 4,000 square foot industrial building in the Los Feliz District. The studio features a 20 foot by 24 foot cyclorama which is fully capable of being used for fashion, glamour or shooting a car. You will recognize the cyc as the one we had in our Cypress facility. It has been expanded to allow for larger subjects.

The studio also has several full grip, lighting packages. We have a wide variety of different lighting packages as well as modifiers, booms and more. We also put together different sets for the events to provide variety. There is even a fenced yard with privacy curtains so we are able to shoot outdoors as well as indoors. We share the studio with other photographers who operate it when we are up in Nor. Cal. The studio is available for rental.

What do I need to know about your San Francisco Studio?

The San Francisco studio is located at 340 Bryant Street, Suite 110, in San Francisco. The location is a 2200 square foot, studio, in a large, four story building, populated, in large part, by artists of all crafts. It is a fairly sized facility, and one of the best equipped in San Francisco. The studio has been professionally built out with a 13' x 18', two wall, cyclorama, a separate, private, daylight studio and static sets ranging from a living room, to urban grafitti, to a fully functional jacuzzi and a lot, lot more!

The studio also has a full grip and lighting package. We have a wide variety of different umbrellas, modifiers, beauty dishes, booms and more. There are hundreds of pieces of wardrobe, props plus a fully equipped make-up case. The studio has an air brush system and spray tanning as well.. The studio is available for rental and we will also allow you to use it with the workshop models for private bookings by appointment within six days after an event you have attended.

What do I need to know about DM-Gremln's Studio?

As many of you know, Gremlin and I were friends for many years. While he is no longer with us, Wendy Levin has decided to carry on the tradition. I have put in a great deal of effort helping Wendy turn the place into a viable place for photography. We have taken out some walls and re-configured the facility so that there are two, separate studios plus a wonderful outdoor shooting yard. The yard features some incredible, hand painted murals which you may shoot against.

Each studio is equipped with three Alien Bee strobes along with an assortment of modifiers. The front studio (Studio B) is an an open, raw space that we can configure for just about any photography scenario you can imagine. While the studio is smaller, it will handle groups of ten to twelve photographers when we have three sets operating. Now that both studios are in use, it is a very viable place.

It is also the only one of the three facilities which is fully air conditioned. Watch for me to move most of my summer events there from July to August every year to make our events more comfortable on hot days.

DM-Gremlin Studios is located at 6053 Atlantic Avenue in Long Beach. The studio is available for rent. You can go to www.dm-gremlin.com for more information. Tell Wendy I said "Hey!"

Are the lighting set-ups compatible?

In a word, YES. While the various lighting packages use different connectors and different brands of equipment, we have converted them all so that they can be used with the standard sync cords and Pocket Wizards we have always worked with. All you need is a sync cord or Pocket Wizard with an "H" connector on the end of a cable. It looks just like a household plug. If you don't have one, we have them available for loan at no charge. The lights will allow up to six photographers to plug into any set at the same time.
