With the opening of the first movie studio in 1913 on the humble corner of Sunset and Gower, Hollywood was destined to dominate the economic and cultural landscape of Los Angeles. Talent drawn from all over the world began to transform the dusty agricultural town into the creative powerhouse that it is today. With the directors, camera crews and sound stages came the photographers who were equally instrumental in turning hopeful young actors into Hollywood legends. Photography studios rose to prominence alongside the film industry where the light and landscape could provide inspiration twelve months of the year. Nearly one hundred years later, the same holds true for professional commercial photographers in Los Angeles. This legendary light and intensely varied landscape provides a haven for commercial photographers like award winning Los Angeles photographer Lorne Resnick. Previously hailed as primarily a travel, landscape, wildlife, and fine art photographer, Toronto born Lorne Resnick has become increasingly recognized for his unique vision as an advertising photographer with a penchant for annual reports, lifestyle and resort photography.
