ADLER PHOTOGRAPHIC HOME No Frame

For over thirty years I shot assignments for the motion picture, television, magazine and print media industries. I was fortunate to benefit from the help of others while beginning my career.

Retired from the hectic world of clients and assignment editors, I now focus my efforts on providing select talented artists with professional images to advance their career: my way of giving back to an industry that has given me so much.

BIO

Since the age of thirteen when I first discovered a passion for photography I have traveled a unique path capturing images through the years. What started as a hobby evolved into a career that has taken me around the world to meet and work with an incredible diverse group of people. Through the years my career changed focus with the times. I started in sports photography at the age of nineteen when I had the opportunity to shoot from the sidelines at a Los Angeles Rams football game. After submitting my photographs to a local sports news tabloid I landed a job as Staff Photographer. For the next two years I photographed hundreds of professional and college sporting events that included two Superbowls, The Rosebowl, NBA Playoffs, MLB Division Championships, Heavyweight Prize Fights, NHL Playoffs, Professional Golf and Tennis Tournaments. While attending a celebrity tennis tournament I met Johnny Grant, the Honorary Mayor of Hollywood. After taking a photograph of Johnny with Farrah Fawcet he slipped me his business card and asked that I send him a print. About a week after delivering a set of prints to Grant he called and asked if I would like to shoot Bob Hope for the Hollywood Christmas Parade. I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing Bob Hope dressed as Santa Claus. Upon completion of the session a press agent representing Hope asked if he could hire me to cover an upcoming television special for NBC. By weeks end I was traveling cross-country with Bob Hope as his photographer. Photographs from this assignment appeared in newspapers and magazines worldwide with one notable shot running half-page in Time Magazine.The Hope assignment launched my career in the entertainment industry where I enjoyed much success. I opened my first studio and worked on hundreds of television shows, movies and specials. After a photograph of Johnny Carson from his going home documentary made the cover of People Magazine I became the company photographer for Carson Productions. I eventually qualified for and joined IATSE Local 659, the union that represents photographers in the motion picture industry. This allowed me to work and accept assignments from major film studios. The back-lots of Warner Bros., Universal, Paramount, MGM, Columbia, and Fox Studios were a familiar place and where I spent a great deal of time. While on location for independents such as Stephen J. Cannell Productions, Bob Stivers Productions and Alan Landsberg Productions as well as the major networks ABC, CBS and NBC assignments had me hanging out of helicopters, airplanes and speeding vehicles to catch that special shot.Mixed in with my television and movie work I also spent a bit of time in the music industry covering various events and tours that included the Rolling Stones, Rod Stewart, Neil Diamond, Tom Petty, US Festival and album covers for Glen Campbell and Tom Petty. I also spent a considerable amount of time photographing main headliners in Las Vegas- Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr., Wayne Newton, Liberace, Bill Cosby and David Copperfield.In 1993, I worked with Eastman Kodak and photographed the Academy Awards with the first Kodak professional digital camera. From the balcony of the telecast I photographed the recipients receiving their Oscar. I shot several frames, edited my shots on a lap top computer and transmitted an image back stage where it was printed and presented to the winner as they walked off stage. The most memorable shot of the evening, when Barbara Striesand presented Clint Eastwood with the Best Picture Oscar for Unforgiven was sent by modem to magazines and newspapers worldwide. The transmission took fifty-five minutes. The same transmission today would take but a few seconds.At the time this was quite an accomplishment and the story was featured in many magazine and newspaper articles. This event sparked what became the digital camera revolution for professional photographers. I departed from my traditional photography to pursue other business interests. Although I did not directly shoot photographs, all of my business ventures were photographic related. I became involved with digital imaging, digital editing and the Internet.I retired to Scottsdale, Arizona in 1996 where I enjoy finding and working with new talent that I meet around town. Regular people going about their normal business in their workplace, where I have found many people interested in pursuing some sort of modeling and acting. I look to help start as many new young talented people as time will permit. My hanging out of a helicopter days are behind me. All I need now are interesting people to work with while my feet are firmly on the ground.

RULES lauren-muscles-wide

Twelve Simple RulesHere are twelve simple rules I have compiled over the years for a great photo shoot.1. Be Ready - Visit the tanning salon if you must at least three days before the shoot. Touch up your roots and hair highlights if necessary. A manicure and pedicure is advised if we intend to shoot your hands or feet. Shampoo and rinse your hair twice the night before and again the morning of the shoot if possible. Groom your eyebrows and if we shoot swimwear, well, you know what to do; make sure Elvis has left the building.2. Be Prepared - Pack your things the night before. Choose your wardrobe, accessories and props, lay them out so you won't forget them. Remember to bring your grooming items, tweezers, hairbrush, comb, razor, toothbrush, floss and anything you need to be ready for your close-up.3. Be Rested - Get plenty of sleep the night before the shoot. No late night parties or clubbing. If Busta rings for a "Booty Call" regretfully decline. Adobe has not invented the PhotoShop filter to correct this yet.4. Be Nourished - Eat something. It is important that you have energy for the shoot. Don't eat a twelve-course meal or something heavy. However, make sure you have something. Stop by Jamba Juice or Starbucks if you're in a hurry and forgot to eat something before departing. I don't want you to pass out while we shoot. If and only if you make a stop, call ahead to see if I want anything.5. Be Relaxed - Don't worry. Everything is going to be fine. If it makes you more comfortable to bring someone, bring him or her. I don't care. Bring your mom, dad, boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife, a friend, heck, you can even bring your aunt Susie. Children and pets often are distracting so try to find a caregiver during your absence. I don't advise bringing you husband and boyfriend or your wife and girlfriend together, no matter how understanding they are.6. Be On Time - Enough said. Call if you are running late. If you miss your session, leave the country.7. Be Professional - Treat the people you are working with respect and all courtesies they deserve, as you like to be treated. No excessive cell usage or text messaging unless we are shooting for Verizon or T-Mobile.8. Be Yourself - Together we will capture your image, possibly with the help of others but your image nonetheless. Have fun. No baggage from a prior photo shoot or stories about how you can't do something because you are... Also accept compliments graciously. If I tell you look great or beautiful, please don't argue. Remember, I'm an expert. In short, leave all negativity in the car or whatever transportation you have unless it's a broom and the month is October.9. Use Caution - Do not stick anything out unless you plan on using it. This goes for body parts and attitude. Remember your Image may be around for some time and possibly have a different effect at a later date. If you feel uncomfortable with a situation, do not do it. If you create an image that will stop traffic, make sure you have liability insurance to cover any collisions it may cause.10. Dont Ask - If you do something noteworthy, consideration will be noted and taken into account for possible rule immortality. Then again, you never know and it doesnt hurt to ask.11. Remember - If you spend ten days as my house guest with your companion, friend, escort or significant other please remember to remove my garage door opener from the sun visor prior to dropping off your rental vehicle at the airport. 12. Warning - If you tell me your beauty secrets, you can not kill me. If you follow these simple rules chances are you will have a wonderful session and great images to promote yourself.
