ScreenSpace Interview: Photographer Joshua Kogan
In our April 2012 edition of ScreenSpace, we sit down with the Face Off 2011 first place photography winner, Joshua Kogan. We’ve been looking forward to this conversation since the start of this year! As a fashion, beauty, celebrity and travel photographer who’s based between LA, NYC and Paris, one would think that he’s been a camera junkie for years—well, he has. Starting out in Hollywood as an indie film and video stills photographer, the modern cinematic style reflected in his work had the magazines, advertising agencies and celebrity clients take note. So has Europe and Asia since he’s traveled to shoot there as well. Lucky charm, anyone? It’s only fair to wonder how he got to this level at such a young age. With parents as photography and art collectors in the ’60s & ’70s, we can best describe what his childhood was like: IMAGINATION. In a visually-descriptive interview for our new photographic homage, we got schooled on his past with Valentino, the wanderlust with his camera, and influences that make this photographer tick. Let’s get wise beyond our years, just like he is…

ScreenSpace Interview: Photographer Emily Shur
Emily Shur is fast on her feet; she brings out the most in the celebrities in front of her lens and makes landscapes reap with freshness that would make you think the shot was hand-rigged by a production designer. She’s a graduate of Tisch School of the Arts at NYU and as editorial, commercial and fine art photographer based in Los Angeles, the clientele list is, well, up to par: The New York Times, Vanity Fair, GQ, Esquire, Interview…and more. In 2005, the awards and exhibitions journey for Shur’s bright career started. From group shows at THIS Gallery and The Factory in LA to chosen images in American Photography and Humble Art, it’s evident that her approach and inspiration in her work not only sells, but is reflected upon. It’s our turn to celebrate now. In the March edition of ScreenSpace, we get in touch with how, why and what she celebrates; photography, travel, her favorite celebs to shoot and a whimsical house in Echo Park are all inclusive, all IN.

ScreenSpace Interview: Brian Bowen Smith
New York-bred, Los Angeles-based photographer Brian Bowen Smith has a zest for life — especially when he’s behind a camera. His non-traditional route to becoming a pro-photographer stems from being a pro-skater…and impressing Herb Ritts enough to be featured in a GAP campaign shot by the legendary photographer. No biggie, right? A chance meeting that allowed Herb to mentor Brian as his assistant for four years but more importantly, a life-long friendship flourished beyond that. While living it up as Herb’s right-hand-camera-man, BBS gained plenty of inspiration so, naturally, the big assignments started rolling in: Vogue, W, Interview, Esquire and Marie Claire were some of the magazines that took note of a pro-skating photographer. The variety of steady work to follow led Brian to shoot on our stages, but this time it’s the other way around — he’s now our mentor, our friend. In an exclusive interview for the February exhibit of ScreenSpace at Smashbox Studios, we sit down with one of the coolest skater boyz we know and talk about his photographic limits, his son, and spaghetti. Thanks, Herb. Read more
Screenspace Interview: Yu Tsai, A Photographer
Yu Tsai is widely known name. A photographer who finds inspiration in his multi-cultural background and world-wide travels, his passion for directing, photography and design lead him to offer his clients a tangible sense of their creative vision on all spectrums of capture and genre. While studying at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, his passion for a creative world began. The understanding of film and fine arts only makes Yu Tsai’s signature photography and directing style stand out in the photography world — the list of celebrities he’s photographed could quite easily consist of every big star out there. Yu Tsai lives in both Los Angeles and New York City and besides his busy relationship with capture, he has participated in wildlife-conservation research with the National Geographin Research Group. In a light-hearted interview, he speaks to us in…lyrical genius. Read more
