As photographers we are often in the same boat as the creatives who work in advertising – with similar clients, similar goals, and we’re often working together on projects. Having come from an agency background, watching Art & Copy: Inside Advertising’s Creative Revolution was a joy.

So one of the things we’ve had a great time doing are High Concept Photography photo booths (we now call this our Studio Booth). Although they aren’t always actual photo booths, but more photo ‘experiences’ most people just know the term photobooth so we use that. Anyhow, we’ve produced some of these on our own as well as with our partners in the events […]
ASMP has been putting on the Strictly Business series for a while now and having attending the last two, I can heartily recommend it. Many photographers have the mistaken notion that just becoming a better photographer is all you need to do to improve your business. While the 10,000 hours of practice theory that Malcolm […]
Have you ever heard about the condo lottery? Chances are if you aren’t the owner of a TIC (Tenancy in Common) then probably not. One of the advantages to being a photographer is getting to see what goes on behind the scenes or observe politics and civics in action.

So a while back we shot an opening for the Asian Law Caucus’ new digs on Columbus. It was a nice affair and I like the work they do which I detailed in a previous blog entry. Anyhow, with the Supervisors here in San Francisco deliberating over who the interim mayor will be, it seems likely that Ed Lee will […]

Gene, of course, has shot dozens of portraits, but this one takes on special meaning as it will hang alongside all of the Mayor’s predecessors in City Hall. Mayor Newsom’s time in office comes to an end come January as he heads to […]
So I couldn’t really decide on a single image so I thought that using two worked because it reflects a lot of the type of work I do as well as my approach.
Just recently I had this exact situation of control vs. spontaneity face me. A commercial shoot for a new startup hired me to shoot a new ad campaign image for them the day […]
We’ve been following the WHORANGE blog for a while. The folks there do a fantastic job curating all things awesome with regards to “The Color of Craving” – their tag line. The images above are a ripoff of their recent font competition picks from the design*sponge blog (another of our faves). Anyhow, we just sliced off the “WH” but check out the first […]
