In Between Time
When we shoot events we often have “down time” from a photographic perspective which really is time that isn’t necessarily photographable from the perspective of our assignments. Tonight Andy and I were shooting at SBC Park for the MoFo Holiday party. Riding the elevators up and down I ended up taking two ‘self portraits’ which were taken in the bowels of the stadium which was a pretty neat place to be for part of the evening.
the buddha collection
I recently visited Spirit Rock Meditation Center up in Marin for a few days of “relaxation”. I wasn’t suppose to ‘work’ but being a photographer at such an serene and beautiful place didn’t leave much choice in the matter. I’ve been interested in statues of buddha (specifically his facial features) for some time now and at some point i may build on a decent collection of imagery around the subject. Buddhism as a whole greatly interests me [...]
interesting email…
So I just got this today from a guy who used to shoot for us checking in with him on his availability... Sorry man, I've moved back to New York and am working for Men's [...]
Headshots for the jet set
This must be headshot and portrait season as we’ve had quite a lot of headshots coming through the studio. Today we were shooting for Virgin America airlines and overall the studio has been buzzing lately. This is how the shoot looked like from my desk as I sorted through to make edits and selects from my shoots over the weekend in LA.
deja vu?
While photographing a Holiday Party over the weekend, I caught a photo that immediately reminded me of a photo that I took in November at Ruby Skye, SF. One a Master of Ceremonies, the other a member of the Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir, both completely focused on their task… Different places and times. Serious deja vu!
the last wedding of the season
it’s always nice to wrap up the wedding season with a wonderful and fun couple such as i had this weekend. it’s always a big risk with the weather during off season weddings but the weather couldn’t get any better for a brisk afternoon. the wedding happen to be in berkeley where there were a bit more trees and it reminded me of the fall when i used to live back in the east coast. as the [...]
I’m a Photographer Too!!
Even though I’m an engineer here at OP, it’s not all about bits, bugs, and tech for me…. I can shoot too!! And no fancy SLR here, just a plain point & shoot digicam in ‘soft,blurry’ mode. This pot of daisies was basking in beautiful windowlight so my photography instincts told me to shoot it.
Holidays already?
Well as it always seems in the US, the holidays are upon us earlier and earlier. We've sent out our holiday promotional emails to our customers and they seem to be a hit. We also [...]
official orange baby
it wasn’t by design but i couldn’t resist crowning a friend’s baby as our official orange baby calendar year. it’s always amazing to photograph a baby’s progression within the first year. This one is beginning to have some character.
The first shoot of the morning…
The suite we’re staying in at the Hyatt Regency here in Atlanta, GA has a nice window that I decided to leverage for my first shoot in the morning which started at 5:00am PT. This was taken by Hans Klein who was sitting in on the shoot while James Cook was assisting. Personally I ended up liking this making of shot more than the actual photo.
