The Violet Hour

We are a Full Service Photography Studio by day.  Yes, we do Weddings and Headshots, Children and Pets ... but our thing is Fine Art.  Our ethereal, sensual and surreal style suits itself well to a pictorial style of portraiture and landscape that draws the viewer in and asks more questions than it answers.  At night we photograph musicians, poets, dancers and artists of all ilk in the surreal atmosphere of an imaginary venue that doesn't actually exist - and yet, for those who participate, it does.  These evening shows are collaborations amongst and within our Studio Company.  Come join us.  We're open to the public on Saturday Nights from 6-11.

Established in 1995

For many many years the street our Studio is on was zoned for Light Industry.  We could operate an Artist's Studio, but could not be open to the public on a regular basis.  That worked just fine for us.  The majority of our work has always been  Fine Art Private Commissions, Travel,  Avante Garde Fashion ... quirky, playful, silly, ethereal, sensual, seductive and sexy.  Our images inspire thought, introspection and fantasy.  We'd do occasional shows and we rather liked the aura of 'secrecy' that surrounded us like an invisible force field from an old '50's sci-fi movie.  But then Heroes moved from Wilshire to Santa Fe.  The City re-zoned the street & our area was christened the SOCO district.  We could be open to the public. This is our begining.  And this is not your typical Art Gallery.  The Art is not just on the walls; nor is the Art just that which you can See, Hear, Taste, Touch and Smell - it's more than that. Art is that which lies deep inside of you.  Art is Perception.
