Macy’s Passport photo booth video

2017-07-24T20:47:21-07:00By |Categories: Event, Point of View|Tags: , , , |

Here’s a little clip of our extremely popular live projection/feed that we can pair up with our photo booth photography.  This was during Macy’s Passport in San Francisco last week and you can see the images being shot shown on the plasma screens pretty quickly after the shot.  The files are transferred wirelessly to a computer that then displays the shots.  We’ve done this with LCD projectors too but the plasma is also a popular option.  This […]

Cal, Berkeley
We were shooting some environmental shots for the big fundraiser at Cal this past weekend.   They are aiming to raise $3 Billion and part of the campaign actually includes a photo booth project.  It’s always nice to see photography being used to help raise funds and imagery is always an impactful way to connect with an audience.  The formal name is the Campaign […]

Test shoots

Recently I have been doing some test shoots with local models. I have so much fun with these, scouting around and shooting on-location, and they tend to turn into mini adventures. Here are a couple from a recent portrait session with Gabriela, at sunset in Bernal Heights. Thanks much to Myleen for the help and providing very important sparks for the sparklers.

Here’s Myleen standing in while we were setting up the lighting for a cover shoot for the Nob Hill Gazette.  It was at Harry Denton’s Starlight Room where we’ve shot many events before and did portraits of Harry years ago.  It’s a pretty nice spot and during the day you get a totally different view of the city.  This shot kinda […]

We’ve been incredibly busy so we apologize for the delay in updating our blog.

Anyhow, this past weekend one of the many shoots we had was for the Chabot Space and Science Center which was having their 125th Anniversary Gala.  There were many luminaries there (no pun intended) including Bill Nye the science […]

Kris Nations Jewelry

2008-09-09T19:59:55-07:00By |Categories: Commercial|Tags: , , |

This Saturday I photographed some lifestyle shots for Kris Nations Jewelry in Golden Gate Park. The Nations sisters are passionate about the craft and I love that most of their materials are recycled metals and vintage glass bits and that everything is made locally in their Oakland studio. They have some beautiful pieces and I’m looking forward to seeing how the photos will be used in their upcoming lookbook and the new site…. stay tuned.
