Me, on location and loving every minute of it!
Hello all, I’m Michael E. Stern, a commercial and editorial photographer who has been plying his craft since 1980. I have operated studios in Hollywood, North Hollywood, Burbank and Pasadena. I am currently headquartered in Pasadena and although I occasionally shoot out of a small studio on my property, I prefer to work on location as I spent the better part of 25 years working in-studio. Loved every minute of running a commercial studio but after all those years, it was time for a sea change.
Environmental portraiture is my favorite thing to do and I look forward to the opportunity to create them. Even if it entails over 600 people, I make it a personal experience for all involved. On my blog I discuss how I went about producing a 600+ person portrait for Disney Animation Studios in Burbank, CA.
Drop by from time to time as I share some of my experiences from the past 30 years doing what I was born to do: being a self-employed creative professional.
Cheers!
