Studio Events

D. M. Gremlin Studios was created to foster an artistic community. In keeping with the legacy of studio founder, the late D. M. Gremlin, our mission is:

** To offer affordable and well-equipped facilities where musicians, photographers, models, and other artists can bring their inspirations to life;
** To become a gathering place where artists can meet fellow creators and share knowledge in both similar and differing media;
** To encourage and help make possible for every artistic vision to expand beyond its ever-imagined potential.

To these ends, we organize and host a variety of community and educational events. We are proud to host a monthly Studio Open House event, private instruction along with an ongoing series of photography workshops with Master-in-Residence Adam Chilson, and an educational workshop series spanning a range of industry topics with internationally-renowned bodypainter Lisa Berczel of Battledress Paint-n-Body.

Our immediate upcoming industry workshop is "Makeup 101 for Photographers, Models, and Aspiring Makeup Artists" on Aug 10, 2008. This all day workshop with special guest speaker Lisa Berczel will emphasize the valuable contribution of a makeup artist to any photo shoot, the differences between daily wear makeup and on-camera makeup, and "makeup triage" - basic makeup techniques for when you don't or can't have a makeup artist present for your shoot. Full information for this class is on the studio's forums, or please email the studio or call 866-334-4364 for further information and registration.

Currently, we are proud to announce the exhibition of work by four D. M. Gremlin Studios photographers in the show "Personality," juried and curated by Richard Rasner of Nakayama Studios/Unique Nudes. Work by Adam Chilson, Andrew Gettler, studio owner Wendy Levin, and our founder, the late D. M. Gremlin, are part of this special showing, hanging at Apparatus Gallery/The Beat Farm in Las Vegas. Opening reception was Friday, June 6th, 2008, and the exhibition continues through August.

Adam Chilson is a master photographer with an unparalleled vision. He creates stunning imagery that pushes the limits of the flesh and the imagination, all without the use of computer-generated graphics or digital compositing. Adam's workshops run the gamut from presenting the fundamentals of photographic lighting, to advanced explorations of set craft and lighting for highly specialized stylistic themes.

For complete workshop information and registration, please visit our workshop web site.

Private Instruction: Adam is also available for bookings for private instructional sessions tailored to meet the interests and experience level of the individual. For further information or to book a private session with Adam, please contact the studio by email, or by telephone at 866-334-4364.

One night a month, D. M. Gremlin Productions opens the doors of the studio to clients and friends both old and new. Every Open House event is unique, but the common threads are interaction and inspiration. Musicians, photographers, models, stylists, and other artists come together to relax, meet & greet, socialize, and share demonstrations and insights into their respective art forms. Past Open House events have included bbq's, photo shoots, bodypainting demonstrations, and live music performances.

There is no admission charge to attend the Open House events. Friends and clients are encouraged to stop by. Anyone interested in the studio who has never been here before is asked to RSVP at least 48 hours in advance of the event .

Studio Open House scheduling and information can be found at the Open House web page.
