admin - Thank you all for the blog love :). To answer your Q regarding permits, Lightology was nice enough to allow us to photograph inside. Our clients Anna and Ron had arranged the shoot with Lightology. :)

Chris Deano - I think this is one of my favorite sets… the use of colors and lights are absolutely beautiful. I have the same question as Albert, “did you ask for permission to shoot here?”

Great job as always!

Albert Yau - awesome set. did you previously ask for permission to shoot here? i loved the color temperature shots. looked like a white balance reference card. the writing on the walls were right on for us as photographers. keep it up rivera’s!

Anna - we had such a wonderful time. thank you for including the “babies” in the session!

Otto Rascon - Awesome colors! And I love that light painted heart – very cool. Rock on!
