It was a regular afternoon in Los Angeles, when I received a text that Rhude had relocated offices and was in the market for a private photo studio; Later that day I made my way over to assess the empty space - the room had high ceilings, white lacquered floors and a open skylight with ample space. After consulting with the team, I put together a specialized list that would fit the needs for the room. Within weeks packages and deliveries started rolling in and it was time to assemble.
When putting together a studio space, it’s imperative that the equipment ordered is of the highest quality - every item ordered for the build was industry standard showcasing brands from Profoto, Eizo, Mathews and Chimera to name a few. Every detail was accounted for down to the extension cords, sand bags and grip clips. Not to mention the signature “rhude” logo motif stencil sprayed on to the apple box, and the orange accents throughout the identity and equipment for easy labeling recognition. This studio is equipped with a tethered Digitech station, an organized equipment list and labeled grip shelf, and lastly a multi- arrangement potentiality prepared for location, editorial and e-commerce.
A Special Thank you to Mekhi, Gianna & Rhuigi.

Mallo is a project about memory and forgetfulness. This gambling game consists in storing memories and time will be responsible for buring them. This war between exceptional crops and strength of nature. A long search for something able to carry us to our more primitive origins or to some different kind of life.
