musilek set up his san francisco studio in 1984, and his paris studio in 2001. his advertising work is known in the industry for its sleek contemporary graphic executions as well as for musilek's ability to meld "the higher end of still-life photography" with "the best of fashion photography." while musilek has been referred to as a "methodical perfectionist who studies his craft intently", his style has been described as "deliberately contemporary... mixing cutting-edge fashion and design with an old master's skilled hand in lighting and composition." according to one reviewer: "it doesn't really matter what musilek shoots — watches, cell phones, shoes, cars, fashion models — everything is presented as larger than life, better than real."
