Coming up is the Greenbuild conference and we are super excited for it. As a San Francisco Green Business and the first photography studio to earn the City and County of San Francisco’s designation for that, we’re always happy to see more green related conferences happening. It’s a trend that we are in full support of and we look forward to working with many of the […]
Several weeks ago, Steal Like an Artist was trending online and it’s a great perspective (read it if you haven’t yet).
One of the things I like to ‘steal’ are ideas from experiences. In the strictest sense this isn’t really stealing, but more like inspiration. However, when you travel a lot for shoots, you have opportunities to explore and get ideas. Between my two shoots in […]
As a growing business we’ve now got people in more than one location so we’ve been doing more and more remote collaboration to get things done. Some of the tools we love and how we use them are the subject of this post and hopefully they can help you out as well.
Lifehacker is a great website for tips and tricks – we subscribe to their RSS feed […]
Last Thursday was the benefit auction for the First Exposures mentoring program at SF Camerawork and the fundraiser raised over $60,000 – the biggest fundraiser to date! We had a packed house at the gallery and there was a lot of great work up. Alan Bamberger made an appearance as did a ton of others there to support the program. Having been a […]
As a San Francisco Green Business we’ve always loved Earth Day and supported efforts to green our business as much as we can. In fact, we started out as a digital studio back in 2001 because we liked how digital wasn’t as chemically intensive as traditional film processing was. Anyhow, we’ve had a good Earth Day week so far, covering the Mayor’s Earth Day Breakfast on Wednesday and […]

We’ve already done a bit for the America’s Cup and are pretty excited for more events to photograph. We also have some special offerings including marine photo booth options and other cool ideas that can make America’s Cup events unique. Our Polaroid coverage is also pretty popular and we’ve been shooting Impossible Project film quite a […]
Now as photographers we’ve probably all heard enough of how DSLR video was revolutionizing what everyone could do with video and of course phone cameras are now the number one image capture device for most Americans. Now with the video capabilities of phones improving there seems to be more and more focus on what can be done with that medium.
Will photographers need to rely on these tools at […]
As a CPS (Canon Professional Services) member, there are a few things you get that are nice perks but one of the newer things we got this year was the CPS magazine (now in its sixth issue). Since it’s published by Canon there’s an obvious bent towards their products but they do feature some […]
On my most recent trip to Miami, I had the fortune to actually get out of South Beach (where I typically am for shoots) and head into Miami proper, this time checking out the Wynwood Arts District. This area has undergone a renaissance of late, and anyone who’s been to Art Basel Miami has no doubt enjoyed the resurgence.
On this particular day (a Monday), […]
We shot for Automattic last week and one of the coolest things was the Macbook Airs that a few folks had. CEO Toni Schneider is shown here showing off his laptop in the photo above and I was like, I gotta have that too! It’s also a great marketing/branding element for anyone who’s got folks out in the field a lot. And it’s a great corporate gift […]
