We shoot a lot of events where there are various performers doing their stuff. One of the ones I always enjoy is the Xeno performance collective. This girl in particular always catches my attention and I know that Orange photographers have got all sorts of cool shots of her.
Tonight we shot a WWF event to benefit conservation in Bhutan and there’s a great matching program going on. I’m going to try and link to the press release for it, but if you are in the Bay Area and interested in helping out, there’s a lot of good information here or on the Lonely Planet site.
Back before Orange started, I used to take photos at 111 Minna on Wednesday nights for Qool. I made it there last week after a shoot at the SFMOMA and a lot of the regulars were there including Frank Chu.

Photographers often get access to things that others don’t get to see. This past weekend was the Arnold Schwarzenegger Classic in Columbus, OH. Here’s a few shots from the weekend including some from the official after party on Saturday night.
This week I’ve shot a couple interior/setup shots of places I’ve previously photographed and at the Hyatt they did a really nice job with it. Here are two looks at the same room with just the lighting adjusted.
My first wedding of the season was Julia and Jay’s and it ended in perfect fashion.
Thursday was quite busy for us at Orange. We have four events going on including hosting a Business After Hours event for the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce at the Orange studios. The event was a total success and the free headshots were quite popular with the crowd. Special thanks to our sponsors: La Bonne Cuisine, Rogue Ales, Marc Fong lighting, spa bar and FloraDina
Oftentimes I find that the very first shot taken turns out quite interesting. The subjects are usually relaxed in the sense that it’s not an ‘official’ shot but more to get composition, lighting, etc. In this case, I was shooting the overall champion of the 2006 Ironman figure championships, Halcyon Duarte, the morning after the competition and we finally got some sun and some warmth. She was just getting ready when I snapped this.
Today we photographed the Heroes and Hearts benefit at Union Square and as is the case for any event where our illustrious mayor is present, he’s mobbed by folks and especially photographers (hopefully when he sees us, he doesn’t cringe too much). Anyhow I go this one which ended up looking kinda funny with the photographer sticking his camera right at him while he tried to enjoy some art.
