The Journal of The Lensley Automatic

Los Fearless

The Black Mamba owns Los Angeles.  From his fourth Most Valuable Player in the 2011 NBA All-Star Game to the billboards hanging on La Cienega to his golden visage staring down from the walls in the Foot Locker House of Hoops in the Beverly Center, Kobe Bryant is an icon that people look up to and try to emulate . . . and in steps Lensley.

Over the NBA All-Star Weekend, Lensley Automatic set up in the Beverly Center, capturing people and making them into NBA icons like Kobe.  Bathed in the same golden tones with the Los Fearless logo splashed across their chests, people got to hold basketballs and show off what they would do if they were on the court.  In the House of Hoops, people were projected larger than life, with three 60” screens rotating through thousands of photos, and a 3-story, 100’ looming projections over the crowds of All-Star Weekend in the middle of the Beverly Center!

Los Fearless and Lensley made icons of us all!

Lensley @ Nike LA Destroyers X Downtown Artwalk

This past Thursday at LA’s now infamous Downtown Artwalk, Nike held a little launch party for their LA Destroyers campaign. Held inside an old bank building, the event was a huge success with the the powers that be (aka the fire marshall) almost shutting it down. And who could blame them? With a line wrapping around the block, amazing artwork by amazing artists, and photography by Ja Tecson, this was THE place to be! Featuring the likes of Mowii Madonna, Chauntal Lewis, and Michael Chacon, the LA Destroyers represented the City of Angels to the fullest.

The fine folks at Nike hollered at us for Automated Portraiture. With a magnetic backdrop and an enthusiastic crowd, Lensley once again brought the party to the party!

ICE at Santa Monica

In it’s fourth year, ICE at Santa Monica is an 8,000 sq. ft. ice skating rink located minutes and blocks away from the 3rd St. Promenade and Santa Monica Beach. This year, Herbal Essences has teamed up with Portraits of Hope to transform the rink into a large scale piece of artwork, encasing a stunning floral pattern underneath the ice itself.

With a star-studded and celebrity filled opening night, Lensley was there to capture the likes of former figure skating Olympic medalists, LA Kings legends, as well as local council members.

ICE at Santa Monica is open from November 5, 2010 through February 15, 2011. Better yet, Lensley will have a presence there the entire duration of this annual tradition! We can’t imagine any place better to ice skate than in Santa Monica near the beach so bring your friends, your family, and get in front of the Lensley!

In Two Places At Once: Nike Mall of America x NYC Marathon

Who says you can’t be in two places at once? Nike hit us up to not only celebrate an almost week-long celebration of the grand opening of their Nike shoppe at the Mall of America but to also hold down the fort in NYC for the NYC Marathon.

Criss-crossing the lower 48, we were there to witness the largest ever group assembled in front of a Lensley device… 39 people!!

Heck, if people were standing upstairs on the 2nd floor, we would’ve caught them too. An impromptu, and fast-becoming tradition, “Lensley Challenge” was posed to a user to gather the most people she could get to stand in front of the Lensley for a group shot. Her reward? The Nike shirt off our back.. literally. Thank the heavens for undershirts!

Meanwhile, the folks in NYC were none too proud to floss their gold for finishing the marathon. People of all ages, sex, and ethnicities were captured in their best form, showing that Lensley brings the fun no matter how young or old, foreign or domestic you are. Lensley shows LOVE to ALL!

Coming Soon: Lensley Twins

We are beta testing a new print format. Two pics with branding printed on a 2″x6″ sheet. The whole process takes 30 seconds. Perfect for grabbing a friend or two and creating a scene. Pictures coming later this week. This will bring the Lensley options to 1-Shot (4×6), 2-Shot Twin (2×6), and the original 4 shot Grid (4×6). When you multiply that by our lens options, color modes, background add-ons it equals a lot of flexibility. Stay Tuned.
