I grew up in Los Angeles County and was never really attracted to the downtown area but there has been a revival going on in the downtown area called LA Live and it&#8217;s very cool. It includes the Staples Center, hotels, movie theaters, a high-end bowling alley, shops and a dozen or so nice bars and restaurants. My assignment was to photograph the JW Marriott and Ritz Carlton for Mitsubishi who installed and maintains the elevators. Due to an over zealous security team we were given very limited access to the property, but still managed to get the needed elevator, lobby and exterior shots of the buildings. To keep everyone happy we had to shoot late at night so we wouldn&#8217;t disturb the guests. In the end, the client was very happy and we had no problems with hotel management or security.<\/p>\n<table style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" href=\"https:\/\/studio101west.com\/blog\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2014\/08\/LALive-9907-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"LA Live The Ritz-Carlton - Studio 101 West Photography\" src=\"https:\/\/studio101west.com\/blog\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2014\/08\/LALive-9907-1.jpg\" alt=\"Architectural Photography - Los Angeles Architecture Photographer - Studio 101 West Photography\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><b><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><b>Sometimes it&#8217;s better to shoot first and ask questions later. <\/b><\/span>This is my favorite shot, which we managed to get from the roof of an adjacent building.
