Val lives in Topanga canyon in an old restored hikers cabin. The house is totally tricked out with antiques from around the world. The dinning room is where his recording studio is set up with the best high end mixing equipment I have ever seen. On the walls he displays some of his 13 number 1 records and 80 gold records, not to mention a grammy.He has worked with James taylor, Neil Diamond, Donovan, Marvin Gaye, Bonnie Raitt, Santana, Ringo Starr and the list goes on.
We shot from the living room in to the dinning room. Val sat in his chair at his mixing board. I lit the room with two mono lights bouncing of the ceiling and two behind the mixing board. Val was very comfortable being photographed as he mentioned he has been photographed 1,250,000 times.
The shoot was for West LA Music, the marketing person Christina Crockett and Val Garay were very happy with the shoot.
