Maurice Hicks gains some yardage during San Francisco’s 27-7 loss to the Minnesota Vikings at Monster Park on Sunday Dec. 9th, 2007. We were on hand to shoot the game as we also photographed the opening ceremony for Standard Pacific’s awarding of scholarships to three students on the field. Unfortunately the 49ers weren’t able to pull out a victory for the home team though.
Green screen photography is a really popular type of event photography that we do here at Orange. During the holiday season, many of our clients ask for green screen photography which entails shooting against a chroma-key backdrop. Then the background is dropped out digitally and the image is then put onto whatever other image/scene you want. At one of our Saturday evening parties, our client had us shoot several different scenes from around the world. Here’s three […]
So the Holiday party season is upon us and we’re busy with multiple parties kicking things off here at the end of November. We got our requisite test photographs with our staff of photographers here at the San Jose Museum of Art for the Rackable Systems Holiday Party. In Brady Bunch fashion (clockwise from top left) is Nikki Ritcher, me with […]
Tony Award winner Duncan Sheik was in town for ACT’s Producers Circle dinner tonight. I was fortunate enough to have seen Spring Awakening on Broadway with my sister earlier this year so it was nice to see the man behind the music. Of course having grown up in the 80s I also recall him from his big hit back then. He still looks pretty young but then I guess I hope I don’t look too old too!

Today was spent checking out art at various galleries, including a trip to 49 Geary specifically to check out the Edward Burtynsky Quarries prints at Robert Koch gallery. If I was wealthier I would have picked one up as a gift and got some of my holiday shopping done but instead I didn’t buy anything today. The new Crouching Spider by Louise Bourgeois on the Embarcadero was another stop and it’s a nice piece, although I wish [...]
Today we did a shoot for illumina. This is part of their team with their 200th Genome Analyzer. It was interesting to learn a bit more about DNA sequencing during the shoot and I was told about 23 and Me, which is a new site that lets you submit your own sample for DNA sequencing. It’s amazing that this technology is now at the […]
Myleen and I donated part of our lazy Sunday to shoot this year’s Compassionate Chefs Cafe at the very delicious New Delhi Restaurant on Ellis Street. This was a lively Bollywood-themed event that benefitted both the Tenderloin After School Program in San Francisco and the Gandhi Ashram of New Delhi. We hear they raised over $16K! If you’re interested in working with Orange as part of our Social Photography program, please let us know.
You’ve probably seen the photo credit: Paul Sakuma/AP if you’ve read any news articles in the last few years. Whether it’s locally here in the San Francisco Bay Area or throughout the world, Paul Sakuma’s photos get out there. He’s an AP shooter based out here and today for Oracle OpenWorld he was shooting Larry Ellison during his keynote.
Robert Holmes‘ Travel and Stock Photography seminar for Fotovision at Orange was a success today. Here Bob explains some marketing strategies after a demonstration of digital railroad where his work is also featured. The seminar was pretty instructive and the group of photographers participating had some impressive portfolios of work. Ah to be a travel photographer!
