2023

BTS of shooting our work for Refashioning at the Hammer Museum with Alan Miyatake. Alan heads the photo studio that his grandfather Toyo Miyatake founded in 1923, which has continuously produced portraiture of people in SoCal for now over 100 years. He was very hard to convince to collaborate with, but eventually came around I think in part because his daughter likes stuffed animals. We are immensely grateful that he decided to work with us. He said it was one of the easiest shoots he’s ever done because the subjects didn’t move around, blink, or get tired. We hoped that at the exhibition’s opening, we’d be able to give him a tour so he could see the project in full and understand why we wanted to specifically work with his studio to shoot portraits of our sculptures, but he was away on a fishing trip.
