Working with Michael was a fantastic experience. When responding to my initial quote, he looked into the project brief, and was able to constructively respond letting me know capabilities, timeframe, etc. We worked together to plan the day-of shoot, and when I showed up to get started, he had prepped his studio according to the plan, and was ready to go. His studio is a great space, in a convenient location. We got through all of the photos needed, and more. He had great feedback for additional photos, and we still got through the work in a breeze. After leaving for the day, Michael sent me the invoice, and subsequent photos from the shoot in a timely manner. I will definitely be using Studio M Productions again in the future!

Simply put, Michael was fantastic. His studio, the atmosphere, space, and accommodations were top notch. Michael put me at ease immediately. (I loathe photos of myself and everything to do with the process). He gave simple and encouraging "instructions" about small modifications that ultimately produced amazing photos. I've never been in a position to have trouble narrowing down a host of really great options, before my experience with Micheal. I can't overstate how wonderful, and easy the entire experience was. I've already recommended him to friends and colleagues. Additionally, it was actually a lot of fun. Go see him! You won't be sorry...

Is a superb photographer .
The result of the finished product shoot was truly beautiful and successful .
Micheal has an amazing photography studio. He is completely equipped to shoot a diversity of projects in the highest definition..
Not only did Micheal create a beautiful professional shoot of products, but he worked efficiently to meet our deadline at a fair cost to the scale of our project .
I will from here on ,use M studio as my "go to" photography studio.

I am a first time entrepreneur seeking to document original content for our product pages and social media accounts. I spoke to >15 photographers in Los Angeles and requested work for a F&B product. Many are amateurs claiming they can do what I'm looking for. Michael came in and explained very clearly the steps and resources I needed to achieve my vision. He also brought in a food stylist to complete the desired look consistent with our brand. In short, he knows what he is doing. In LA, you get what you pay for. Do not skim on your photography needs. Come to Michael when you're ready to go to the next level in entrepreneurship. He is highly recommended for all the fields he has experience in. My products (shot by Michael) are found on IG @blendtomend. I am coming back to Michael for our next advertising campaign shoot.

I hired Michael to do a jewelry shoot for my retail business and unlike 6 other photographers that I interviewed, Michael easily understood my budget and what I wanted to accomplish with my pictures. Working with him was like working with a friend, he listened well and my pictures could not have turned out any better. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a photo shoot done right in an enjoyable environment.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Each project is priced individually.
Prices are a combination of the number of images photographed, whether the shoot is on location or in the studio and the time it will take to complete the project.
Each project is different and there are usually post production needs that we factor in to the estimate such as retouching and special requirements for how the images are going to be used.
We shoot large and small jobs and cater our estimates to the exact needs of each Client.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Our typical process is to have a phone conversation first and establish what the Clients exact needs are for the project and their budget.
We then go to work finding the best and most economical way to provide great images that meet and exceed the requirements for our Clients. We then provide detailed estimates and timelines in order to start the production.
We shoot in our studio, located in Los Angeles, California :
Clients come to the studio and art direct the shoot as each image is viewed and approved on large monitors.
We can also go on location to your business :
When the product is too big or needs to be shot on location, we can bring the studio to you.
And we shoot for many clients remotely :
We routinely do this with Clients outside the immediate area.
After understanding the job through phone conversations, the product is shipped to us at our studio, while we shoot, we send hero images for the client to approve by email.
When everything is done, we ship back the product and electronically deliver the final images.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
BFA in Photography and over twenty years experience producing Commercial Advertising Photography and productions in both the United States and Europe.
