This guy has it hard... er, so to speak...
Nothing like a tough modeling gig in Santa Barbara when you're the model for a spa shoot and the center of georgeous attention.
I Wonder
Thank You to AIGA and LYNDA.com for producing this inspiring film. I'd say there's 100 more inspired creatives walking the streets of Santa Barbara today. Marian Bantjes book I wonder can be found on Amazon.http://www.amazon.com/I-Wonder-Marian-Bantjes/dp/1580932967
Lynda.com presents an Exclusive Screening Sept 15th.

The Life and Work of Marian Bantjes, Graphic Artist
Join AIGA Santa Barbara and lynda.com for socializing and a exclusive screening of the latest film in lynda.com's flagship documentary series, Creative Inspirations. lynda.com co-founders Lynda Weinman and Bruce Heavin will join us at 240 Studio to introduce the new film featuring the life and work of graphic artist Marian Bantjes. A previous speaker at AIGA events, TED and design events across the planet, Marian has a unique style defies labeling. A much-admired designer, she has collaborated with such legends as Debbie Millman from Sterling Brands, Michael Bierut and Paula Scher from Pentagram/NY, Sean Adams from AdamsMorioka, and Stefan Sagmeister - all of whom are featured in the film. Shot on location in Toronto, Vancouver, New York, and Los Angeles, the film also whisks us away to Marian's private home and workspace on secluded Bowen Island. We listen to her outspoken opinions on design and designers and take in the amazing breadth of her work. Lynda and Bruce will be available to take questions after the screening, and key members of the lynda.com documentary team will be in attendance. Be a part of this exclusive evening!

Photographic Studio Backdrops
When I first walked into the raw space of 240 I freaked out. The walls and floor radiated warmth and the 20' ceilings gave me the height I needed to shoot several set ups in one day. We've brought in sand for a beach and snow for the holidays and the walls all have a subtle glow that photographs beautifully under the gorgeous northern light. We've installed blackout shades for the 24 windows and sky light, but I've never had to use them when working with my Norman studio strobe lights.
240 Studio Launches The Largest Commercial Photography Studio in Santa Barbara
Wow! Where did all these people come from?
That's what we were asking ourselves around 7pm when we surveyed the 100+ creatives who joined us to celebrate the launch of 240 Studio, Santa Barbara's largest commercial production studio.
For those who missed the party that's good.
Because now you get the chance to have a private tour without having to shout above the din of the throng. We're here everyday and welcome drop by visits.
Although you really did miss a fun night;) A big thanks to all the creative professionals who dropped by and shared a glass of cheer with us.
Kelly Kirlin Photographs Samantha!
Kelly Kirlin shoots Samantha at 240 Studio in Santa Barbara. We had to sneak her in the back door down by the storage faciliity to get around the paparazzi outside. Sam's a natural talent and Kelly made it all happen in SB. Who needs to deal with LA when the talent comes up to SB ;) ?
