Photographer Michael Muller has packed several lifetimes worth of adventure into a mere four decades of life. Raised in Northern California, he spent much of his childhood in Saudi Arabia, where his father, an amateur photographer, oversaw the building of the port city of Jubail.

In his mid-teens and 50 countries later, he began taking photos of professional snowboarding, a passion that quickly became a profession. By 22, Muller had established himself as a leading entertainment and fashion photographer. His celebrity portraits of Joaquin Phoenix, Brad Pitt, Jeff Bridges, Robert Downey, Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Scarlett Johansson and hundreds of others have graced the pages and covers of magazines including Vanity Fair, Elle, Rolling Stone, Harper‘s Bazaar, Flaunt, Filter, Esquire, Interview, and the New York Times Magazine.

“The Digital dialectic suggests that anything digital is compressed … and this applies equally to color. Saturation, hue and timbre serve to create an imagery unique and not very similar to analog film. For this reason, I welcome the idea of a new visual language; another system of control. Digital speaks in subtle ways, often producing an entirely different perspective. All of the photographs in this exhibit have been made with a Leica rangefinder and a 135mm Apo-Telyt-M. I wanted to deliberately pursue the foreshortening of perspective afforded by the long focal length.

When asked if I prefer working gin black and white or color, I responded that I like working in all three. (P.S black and white are also colors…)

With the opening of Digital Color, I am pleased to be celebrating my 80th birthday in Los Angeles – my city of birth, with Leica – my camera of choice”

Renowned cinematographer Mandy Walker first stepped into the world of image making when her father built her a dark room in the old shed behind her childhood home in Australia.

She is currently shooting Niki Caro’s live-action ‘Mulan’ for Disney. Her eye for captivating imagery has taken her all around the world but a large selection of her stills come from the place it all began, Australia.
