Began our day with a nice cup of coffee at Stumptown. We’re on location doing a shoot in rainy Oregon this week.

We spent the past few days with an excellent crew from Lynda.com who have been interviewing and filming us at our agency for their documentary series, Creative Inspirations. As one of the most reputable online destinations for software tutorials and creative inspiration, Lynda.com shares many of our philosophies and believes knowledge is power and technology should be accessible to everyone. Oftentimes we’ve been very inspired by the stories on Lynda.com, and we’re honored to share our story with fellow creatives in the industry. It’s been a real treat working with the Lynda crew. Stay tuned for the release of the documentary this fall.

We were at Smashbox Studios last week working on a top secret project. We’ve got exciting things up our sleeves…and some paint to clean up.

Here are some photos from the shoot we’re doing with Herman Miller. We’ve been spending the week with an awesome crew, iconic furniture, and beautiful homes. Enjoy.

We’ve been on a photo shoot all week with Herman Miller. We’re collaborating with Juergen Nogai – longtime partner of renowned architectural photographer, Julius Shulman, who exposed the world to West Coast modernist architecture.

Juergen’s partnership with Shulman began in 2000, where they produced a series of architectural and fine art photography such as their famous portrayal of Richard Neutra’s Kaufmann House, the Walt Disney Concert Hall, and the Case Study House series in Los Angeles. Much of their work was featured in magazines and books including Taschen’s Case Study Houses, as well as the Los Angeles Times and the New York Times.

We’ve been observing spaces through the lens of Nogai and Frykholm, and seeing how the dimensions of architecture and furniture come together to create a home.
