Michael Margolies: Photographer (still), director of photography and manager in Joplin, Missouri.

So the project is done, the studio is built and running like a clock. I've been assigned to take on another large studio for the same great company and help take it to the next level. I love building, teaching, mentoring and helping creative people succeed so this is going to be hard and fun!

Recently took a position to design and built a huge (and I mean huge) commercial studio. The only bad thing is it takes me away from graphic design, eCommerce, marketing and consulting. However, getting to work with this best of class company and design what will be one of the largest studios in the country is an amazing opportunity. Of coarse when it's done I get to run it too so I won't be taking freelance assignments for a few years at least. I'm excited to get working on this cool project. Sorry I can't disclose who it's for or where yet. But I will be hiring lots of photographers, digitech's, studio ops and others by early fall if all goes to plans.
