Michael e. Stern Photography

I began my career as a professional photographer immediately after graduating from Art Center College of Design and it's been a great ride ever since. I operated several commercial studios in the southland for decades before switching full time to time-lapse film productions. Serving mostly in the construction, industrial and hospitality sectors, I'm having as much fun now as I've ever had and I've had as lot of fun!

Being able to compress and expand time in ways that inform, engage and entertain thru the time-lapse narrative format is a blessing for me. I've been meeting interesting people and companies that have interesting filming challenges and I have always delivered. I've directed and produced short, short films and epic stories about how things get built. More and more large companies are contacting me and being asked to do what I do best is still as thrilling as it ever has been!

My number one job however is being a dad to my teenage son. We have such a good relationship and he inspires me to work in ways that allow for us to have a lot of time together. That is as much time as a 17 year old can stand! LOL!
