Davis Factor
Make S#!+ Happen
1 December 2022–20 January 2023 • Selling Exhibition • Los Angeles

C ollected together for the very first time are more than three decades of portraits taken by Davis Factor. Capturing some of the most important actors and celebrities of the era, presented here is a snapshot of Hollywood glamour today.

In 1990, acclaimed photographer Davis Factor and his brother Dean, the great-grandsons of Max Factor, founded Smashbox Studios to give beauty and creativity a home in LA.

“We wanted to create a culture. Not just a studio. We didn’t want to exclude anybody. We wanted to plant a seed so people could grow and that meant everyone was welcome.”

The new studio quickly became a hub for world-class photographers, actors, models and musicians. In 1996, Davis and Dean debuted Smashbox Cosmetics and a new era began. Davis and Dean soon founded Photogenics Model Management and in 2003 established Mercedes Benz Los Angeles Fashion Week, held at Smashbox Studios.
