Mirror Films Signs Brian Bowen Smith

April 10, 2012 by Screenmag

Director/Photographer Brian Bowen Smith has joined the roster at Los Angeles-based Mirror Films.

A protégé of legendary photographer Herb Ritts, Bowen Smith is now a sought-after celebrity photographer in his own right, having shot photographs of the world’s celebrity elite for such publications as “Vanity Fair,” “Esquire,” “Interview,” and “Gotham.”

Shooting his first commercial for Jenny Craig featuring actress/celebrity spokesperson Valerie Bertinelli, Bowen Smith’s unique talent came to the attention of Mirror Films’ Owner/EP Eric Barrett.

“I first met Brian when we were shooting the Jenny Craig campaign,” says Barrett. “We started chatting and it became clear to me that Brian’s aspirations were to expand into commercials. I then looked at his photography and was blown away by his visuals. Brian truly is an artist, but with a foot grounded firmly in the advertising aesthetic. After spending some personal time with him, it become crystal clear to me that this is someone that I want to work with.”

For Bowen Smith, the opportunity to sign with Mirror Films came at the perfect time in his career when he had decided to transition into the world of motion.

“I was shooting the print photos of Valerie Bertinelli for Jenny Craig, and then Valerie was kind enough to suggest that I shoot the commercial,” says Bowen Smith. “When I met Eric Barrett from Mirror on-set, we seemed to be on the same page in terms of my ability to cross-over successfully into commercials. As we talked more, I felt confident that I was signing with the right company and people who really understand my talent.”

Mirror Films proudly announces Mirror Gallery!

 Mirror Films is proud to announce Mirror Gallery!  Our first show is Joan Tucker’s “Urban Legend,” which explores how beauty can be found in the most unexpected of places.

The exhibit and artist reception for Joan Tucker’s “Urban Legend” will take place in conjunction with several other exhibits and openings at galleries along Chung King Road that evening. “Urban Legend” highlight’s the artist’s philosophy that “art is where you find it.”  Throughout her career, Joan Tucker has always utilized a combination of paints, collage, construction and found objects. This new work takes her approach a step further. Using papers scavenged from billboards and construction sites, Joan has created richly textured and nuanced canvases that recycle and re-imagine everyday materials into funky, visceral and juicy paintings that keep the viewer in a world of discovery and excitement.
