We’re collaborating with 5th and Sunset to bring you an exhibit of large, gorgeous prints we have produced using photos shot by a selection of our clients. Don’t miss the reception!
Suspended above water with a client in a MoHo, now what?
We get things thrown at us that most people would think were akin to asking for a million dollars, tax free, but it’s all in a days work for us at Image Mechanics. A perfect example was when Michael Grecco asked us to be suspended over the water at Marine Stadium in Long Beach, shooting [...]
Canon 1Ds Mark III in Palm Springs
Recently I had the pleasure of working with the very talented Sydney-based photographer Hugh Stewart on a Palm Springs-based shoot for Marshall’s spring looks. With a final tally of 14,146 21-megapixel frames over four days, an immediate delivery schedule, and other above-and-beyond requests, this shoot proved to be a good test for our 35mm capture [...]

Really Right Stuff Bracket Review and “The” Cable Trick
“The” Cable Trick
As a follow up to our oldie but goodie post Pimp your WFT-E1A we have come up with another ingenious use of the Really Right Stuff bracket for our Canon 1Ds Mark II. The Really Right Stuff bracket works great for holding our transmitter and allowing the use of a tripod at [...]
DirecTV MyWorld Behind The Scenes Videos
Talk about strange surprises. When I got the call that I was going to be the tech on another DirecTV shoot I was braced for another older gentlemen celebrity, not the three girls from the popular new media based reality television show MyWorld.
