revamp

Man o man, it has been an exhausting past few months. In between setting up the studio and squeezing in a few hours of sleep every week, we are finally revamped and ready to go.

We are also proud to announce the launch of our new website! And if you haven't noticed already we've changed our logo. Thanks to Phantom's complete rebrand, we're sleeker and meaner than ever before! haha

For updates, behind the scenes footage and news, log on to tikkostudios.com!!!!.

p.s. This blog is now apart of the site...so thank you all who check regularly and thank you blog spot for giving us a place to hang out for the past few years. You will be missed.

OPEN HOUSE

Hi all, Tigran and I have been missing in action for the past few months getting ready for our biggest project yet, our studio release! Not sure if you've seen the teaser pics from past blog posts, but yes we've moved our operations to Fullerton! Along side us, our friends Phantom and Art-Hammer.

We are having our grand opening this Sunday, so if you are in the area, swing on by! Would be great to share this special day with all those who have supported us since day one.

Chris in NY #2

Happy New Year everyone!

These past two weeks I've been off from work, and it's been fantastic. I've been doing most of my shooting with my Nikon F2, which was like the second 35mm SLR camera Nikon ever came out with. Shooting with film is great because you got to be a bit more disciplined with your shots-- you can't just fill up a 4GB card and press delete on the go. You gotta take your time to really compose an image, and I think it's made for really good practice as a photographer. Anyway, here's a couple of shots stretching from Brooklyn, NY all the way to Long Beach, CA. Shot with Fujifilm Superia 400 film and untouched except for some dust & scratch removal because of my dirty scanner.

1. Brooklyn.

3. My roommate Michelle.

5. On an aeroplane...

6. Christmas!

8. A tree fell on my brother's car.

9. Grandma's house.

10. Visiting Louis in the studio!

11. It's been awhile...

12. Jon my bro.

13.

14. Ten dollar all you can eat Korean BBQ in Cerritos. Holler.

15. Bomb.

16. Long Beach.

Til next time!

Best of 2008

Ever since we started, I always envisioned a Tikko 'Best Of.' We go through thousands upon thousands of images per year, we tend to lose track of things, especially our best work. I always forget about certain projects in the archive, as things are always shifting and as Tikko fine tunes its specialties. Not to mention, close to failing external hard drives (knock on wood) of raw NEF's, you can imagine the high volume of material we store everyday.

Our lives for the past few years has been a roller coaster to say the least, this year was definitely no different. Here are the best images and moments of 2008. Enjoy, and thanks again for checking in with us.
