"I had no idea I was going to fall in love with photography when I chose a major in architecture, but fall in love I did, during my very last semester at UC Berkeley.

I first became fascinated with photography as a child, back in Moscow, Soviet Union, when my dad would transform our tiny bathroom into a darkroom. In the eerie glow of a red bulb, I watched incomprehensible negative images magically emerge as familiar faces in the developer tray.

I am grateful for my education in architecture and design as it gives me a keen insight into the design process, spacial relationships and flow, and a common language with clients in the design community.

Over the past 35 years, I have been very fortunate to collaborate and forge lasting relationships with numerous architectural, interior design, and construction firms, as well as retail clients such as Target and Neiman Marcus."

"Knock down those four walls and find yourself in an adventure; an experience in light, sound, ambience and character. It is an adventure in spirit; letting the wind carry you, letting the waters wash over you. It is an expression of Nature's art and wherever you might find yourself within it; a true artform of surrender."

Cameron Karsten is represented by The Gren Group.

"The sports scene in Southern California (and globally for that matter) is a constant source of excitement for me. With a wide array of sports, from football and baseball to surfing and beach volleyball, this place, along with the worldwide sports arena, has it all. I absolutely love being part of the pulse of the sports culture here in Southern California and around the globe. It's a lot of hard work, no doubt, but the results are always worth it.

Getting that "one" photo that makes you go "wow" keeps me coming back for more and more hard work. Being part of the action, capturing those unforgettable sporting moments, is what drives me. It's an addiction, really. The late nights, the effort, it's all worth it for that one perfect shot.

Southern California's sports vibe and the global stage are like no other, and I'm here, in the midst of it all, chasing those incredible moments."

Thomas Henriksen & Nele Liedel are the Los Angeles-based advertising photography and art direction team T3N PHOTO, who love creating stories through light, images and locations.

We look forward to telling your story in California or anywhere the sunshine takes us."
