On Thursday, November 18th Venice Paparazzi and celebrity photographer Sunny Bak provided photo prints, holiday props, a photo booth, the red carpet treatment, envelopes, holiday cards and stamps to all participating art crawl patron. A joyous time was had by all. The festive spirit was definitely in the air as people lined up and posed with the various holiday props.

Ecole Claire Fontaine, Sunny Bak and Venice Paparazzi. We would like to thank Venice High School volunteers Joselyn and Monica for helping out with the printing. You guys were a pleasure to work with.

About celebrity photographer Sunny Bak:
Sunny Bak is best known for capturing the essence of her subjects whether she’s shooting celebrities, the latest rock bands or magazine covers.
As a teenager, she created her earliest images outside theaters on Broadway amongst the paparazzi. While others were hoping to catch a photo op outside New York’s famed Studio 54, Sunny was inside partying with her subjects. Over the years, Sunny has shot a multitude of stars ranging from Elizabeth Taylor to Keanu Reeves. It’s probable you’ve seen her work on record albums (Fiona, the Beastie Boys, Slayer, Fem 2 Fem, Danzig, Engelbert Humperdinck and the Village People) and in magazines (Newsweek–best selling cover, People, Time, Cosmopolitan, LA Style, British Elle, and Details.) The most personal reflection of Sunny’s art can be found in her Calendars, Cards and Magnets, which have been exhibited on both coasts and abroad. Regardless of the photo’s purpose, Sunny’s style communicates the spirit and substance of the people and places that cross her camera’s path. E-mail: [email protected].
