A propos de cet article

Original Photograph, Image 9" X 6 7/8". Inscribed By The Subject. Photographer's Logo At Lower Left. , And His Stamp On Verso. Albert Witzel (1879-1929 Moved To Los Angeles, Where He Opened His Studio At 811 S. Hill St. He Was Soon Recognized Recognized As One Of Los Angeles’ Top Society Photographers, With Many Of His Images Appearing In The Los Angeles Times, Starting In 1912. He Began Reaching Out To Theatrical Entertainers In Need Of Carefully Crafted Portraits To Lure Customers. Around The Same Time, Moving Picture Companies Migrated To Los Angeles To Film In The Ever-Present Sunshine, Away From Motion Picture Trust Interference. These Companies Had Recently Introduced The Practice Of Promoting The Stars Of Their Films, Helping To Create Brand Awareness Among Consumers, Who Flocked To Movies Starring Their Favorites. Witzel’S Theatrical Clients Promoted His Talents To Their Moviemaking Friends, Who Quickly Began Hiring Him To Take Their Portraits. Film Companies Employed His Services Too. The Balboa Film Co. Hired Him In 1913-1914 To Shoot Portraits Of Their Star Stable, Quickly Followed By Companies Like Triangle-Ince. Witzel’S Photograph Of Viola Barry From Balboa Films “The Sea Wolf” Was The First Movie Star Portrait To Appear In The Los Angeles Times, 1913. His Images Often Employed Rembrandt Lighting And Offered Moody Shadows And Sheen. Witzel’S Work Began Running Regularly In The Times In 1915, And Film Fan Magazines Like Photoplay And Motion Picture Regularly Published His Work As Well. Witzel Expanded His Work With Studios, Occasionally Shooting Freelance Images Of Sennett Bathing Beauties In 1916 That Were Published In Magazines And Newspapers, And Working On Assignment For Fox Studios In 1917, Photographing Theda Bara In A Series Of Somewhat Soft Pictorialist Images For Her Iconic Films, “Cleopatra,” “Salome,” And Madame Du Barry.” In Order To Handle The Increased Workload, Witzel Added New Studios And Employed Retouchers Like Photographer William Mortensen And Extra Photographers Like Otto Schellenberg, W. F. Seely, George Cannons, And Max Munn Autrey To Shoot Portraits. Autrey Eventually Became Head Of Witzel’S Hollywood Studio At 6324 Hollywood Blvd. From 1922-1924. Their Work Became More Intense And Exotic, Emphasizing A Glamorous Star Look. The Witzel Studio Downtown Also Handled One Of The More Infamous Special Photo Shoots In Silent Film History. Harold Lloyd Posed In The Studio With A “Fake” Bomb That Turned Out To Be Real, Losing His Right Thumb And Forefinger. The Comedian Performed All Of His Action Stunts, Including Hanging Off A Downtown Building, With Only Three Fingers On His Right Hand. N 1923, Witzel Was Forced Out Of His Lease At 828 S. Hill St. By The May Co., New Owners Of The Original Hamburger’S Department Store, Who Wanted To Make Additions To Their Building. The Firm Opened A New Studio At 1007 W. 7Th St., Run By His Brother Charles, To Go Along With One At 536 S. Broadway. This Studio Occupied The Entire Second Floor And The Lobby Of The Recently Constructed Building, With New Up-To-Date Equipment In What The Times Called The “Largest Photography Studio In The West.” The Witzel Hollywood Studio Remained Its Most Attractive, With The South Broadway Studio The Most Modern. During The Mid-1920S, However, Studios Began Establishing Their Own Portrait Galleries To Maintain A Firm Hand And Established Look With The Requirement For An Ever Increasing Production Of Prints. Spurr Left To Establish His Own Studio, Schellenberg Ended Up At Universal, Cannons Went To Sennett, And Autrey Departed To Found Fox’S Portrait Department. Witzel And His Staff Of Photographers Focused More On Special Shoots For Newspapers And Magazines, Like The Peggy Hamilton Fashion Features For The Los Angeles Times, And Other Select Sections.…
