They understand what customers wanted and communicated effectively with good listening skills, which is very important to me. Their creativity and skills also made the photos and designs look interesting and appealing, definitely a good investment to promote any product. They could make a regular product look amazing without being too far from the actual product appearance, just the right amount of enhancement. They mastered the perfect balance of art and technicality. Their prices were also reasonable and given the quality of the product it's totally worth it. If you have a jewelry business especially online, it's worth investing in good quality photos because that's all customers can rely on. I'd highly recommend Carat for all your photo shoot needs!

Got scammed here…read more Bought their used 600d light for $550. Tested it at their shop it worked. Take it straight to set literally an hour later, doesn't turn on. Immediately text the owner to let him know. Had to send talent home and cancel the shoot. Show up next day, they test it, it doesn't turn on. I'm extremely polite, not blaming them at all. I'm saying let's work something out. They had another identical unit that worked. I offered to add cash to exchange the dead one for the one that worked. Staff seemed hard working and normal. The owner though got immediately confrontational and tried to get me out of there. I remained calm and asked him to put himself in my shoes and work something out with me that was fair. Nope. He immediately accused me of lying, put words in my mouth, accused me of threatening him ( what? ), etc. Well here's how I know I got scammed aside from just bad business. He claimed multiple times that in 20 years in the biz that he's never had the 600d break on him ever. He goes "You probably dropped it" ( I did not ). When I offered to go half and half to cover the damage he literally said "It costs $500 to fix that light I don't want it, we tested it, you bought it, it's your problem". He said the dollar amount confidently, not a random number, he said $500. Meanwhile the talent is waiting for me on set I'm running super late. Super stressed out. No apology of any kind by the way. I beg for at least a free 1 day rental, he immediately accuses me of trying to swap the bad light for the good one ( what? ), but finally to get rid of me agrees to 1 day of free rental ( $75 value ), puts a $500 hold on my CC, I shoot return the light. Well here's the fun part, he sends me to the repair shop ( Lux ) that he says "will fix it for sure". Just got the estimate from lux. Guess how much. $514 ( light has multiple issues ). So if he's NEVER had a 600d go bad in his 20 years in business how did he know the repair was gonna cost exactly $500? Lol. If I had to guess he plugged in the good one during the test and slipped me the bad one. I have no proof of that but I'd bet my house that's what happened. But what I do know for sure is that he treated me like some lying scammer homeless bum off the street, super rude, disrespectful, unapologetic, couldn't care less that he wasted my time, money, and ruined 2 days of my shoot. Having a keylight to not turn on on set in front of talent and makeup and client is extremely stressful and embarrassing to have to send them home, they drove 2 hours each way to get to the location. I'd stay away from these guys at all costs. If anything goes wrong you'll get treated like trash. Would have been one thing if I had it for a week. But for it to not turn on after 1 hour is crazy. I told lux unless they wanna do me a favor and half the repair cost due to the circumstances that light will have to go straight in the trash can. Lesson learned.

A little history on the ever so amazing Sunset Gower Studios. The Sunset Gower Studios were…read moreoriginally formed by Columbia Pictures. The studio is the home to "Mr. Smith Goes To Washington", "Funny Girl", "Scandal", "Six Feet Under", "JAG", "Married With Children", "Golden Girls", "I Dream of Jeanie", "Bewitched" and let's not overlook "Dexter". Harry Cohn formed Columbia Pictures and upon his death in 1958, his memorial was held at stages 12 & 14 (as there was and is no 13). For a short time, stages 12 & 14 were transformed into tennis court, which have since been returned to their proper stage formats. It is also used as a rehearsal hall of sorts. If you were lucky you might have heard Elton John, Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles, Led Zeppelin or Olivia Newton-John belting out tunes. Sunset Gower Studios is the sister studio to the Bronson Studios - please read my Bronson Studio review as well. I have not yet been able to obtain a behind the scenes tour (keeping fingers crossed), but I'm sure it would be a very cool experience.

First of all, I have to admire that even after paying to fly our film down to LA and have a courier deliver it (and the reverse process on the way back) I was still able to get a better rate than if I were to have it done in San Francisco. I'm not crazy about that fact - I like to support local businesses - but I have to give credit to Technicolor for an awesome rate. Secondly, their customer service is phenomenal. Imagine trying to coordinate the logistics of delivering film and getting it processed ASAP before having it picked up, especially having never been at their place of business and never working with them before. They sat through my dozens of questions and multiple phone calls, giving me names and numbers of all the people who I may want to call or pass on to my couriers in the event of any trouble or confusion. Furthermore, the key issue at the end of the day is what kind of work they do. Top notch.
