Amy Mikler has a way with not only kids but also seniors and
she shared; "People will always be my favorite subjects, and kids and seniors are perhaps my two favorite people groups to work with. Possibly because they share some similar characteristics; I never know what they will say, they know how to enjoy life, simple pleasures, and often have quirky fashion sense. They are also unapologetically honest, and know how to laugh at them selves, which keeps the set fresh and endlessly interesting."
"Primed by my relatives, I take for granted that growing older doesn't mean growing boring. To that end, a few years ago, I did a golden years test shoot built on the premise that we never stop wanting to live with laughter. And I am not sure who laughed more… me or them. The talent were for up for ANYTHING, including cannonballs, dancing, and water fights."
"With commissioned work, whether it is talent for various commercial clients, or actual residents for clients like Erickson Living, it is safe to assume that conversation topics will be far-reaching and interesting, the talent will show up early, and if more than a couple of singles are on set we can expect some flirting."
