Dwell On It

LOHA hired me to shoot their new project Formosa 1140 in West Hollywood sunny California. When I shoot very unique projects of this type, I’m constantly reminded of the architect’s relationship with their designs. On this shoot, Lorcan O’Herlihy told me early on, “The trick behind photographing this building is to get the ambient lighting just right so that the colors stand out from each other.” Boy was he right, and once I realized this, I knew how to capture this project. The dusk shot from the street isn’t featured in the online Dwell, but I’ve included it here. Thanks for the tip Lorcan!
