Taco Bell asks you to be a professional swimsuit photographer!
Having shot tons of models on beaches and such it was fun to see that Taco Bell has a new promo out called Direct Daniella which lets you play the role of SI swimsuit issue photographer. It’s kind of a neat concept and maybe it’ll let folks have some idea of what it’s like although it’s never quite the same as in real life!
Event photography collage for Exxon Mobil
We shot a conference for Exxon Mobil this week and one of the things that’s always nice is to see the photography leveraged in presentations to the audience. This is a shot of some of the images we shot the day and night before as part of a wrap up presentation. People always enjoy seeing themselves and we’ve done a lot of events where things like this are produced and it’s always a hit.
Photo booths with on-site printing
So we do a lot of photo booths at various corporate, private and social events. This was a shot taken at the San Jose Museum of Art this past weekend. We had two stations set up to take portraits of couples for a private party and in a separate room we had our printers set up. People as usual started to relax and have more fun with the booths as the evening went on and we actually [...]

Kohl Mansion at night…

American Conservatory Theater Opening night – Na zdorovia!
Last night was the opening night at ACT and there was a performance of Nikolai Gogol’s The Government Inspector. Appropriately, they had vodka shots for the audience members at intermission which were a big hit. The vodka was even one of the few that are actually sold in the U.S. and made in Russia – Russian Standard Imperia – which seemed to be very popular with everyone.
Full Moon over San Francisco
So tonight was a full moon and I had an engagement shoot to take advantage of the evening. We went up to Twin Peaks which was pretty busy since it was such a beautiful day. Here’s a quick snap of how it looked from that vantage point. (click the image to see the full width of the shot)

Shoot the Moon!
So I’m going to be doing a night shoot incorporating the moon into a portrait so last night I did a few test shots. The moon is about 85% full right now and it’s really bright up there since we’ve had some nicely clear nights here in San Francisco. This was one of the quick shots I took which was totally hand held since the moon reflects so much light. I was surprised that I could shoot [...]
Attune, probiotic bar photo shoot in the Colorado Rockies!
Today we were up on Copper Mountain in the Colorado Rockies doing work for Attune to promote their new Attune® Probiotic Wellness Bars. There were some superheroes on hand who were also boarding down the slopes and with their energized selves, are seen here.
