It was a pleasure to welcome acclaimed producer and journalist Mariam Zerehi to my new Downtown Los Angeles studio for a headshot session designed to reflect her multifaceted career. Mariam’s work spans storytelling, media strategy, and cultural commentary—so it was important to craft portraits that matched her voice: confident, intelligent, and full of purpose.
Running a business in Downtown Los Angeles today requires grit, heart, and a good deal of resilience. My studio, now proudly located in the historic Hellman Building in the Old Bank District, stands among a dwindling yet determined group of creatives, entrepreneurs, and independent business owners still striving to make DTLA a vibrant cultural and artistic center.
