Another standby, the Event Manager Blog is full of great insights and perspectives. We like their take on things like this post: 7 Winning Ways of the Event […]
We got our new LOMO’INSTANT just before the holidays so of course had to take it out and test it out during travels home for the holidays so here’s a review of the camera.
In case you aren’t familiar with the Lomo Instant, it’s produced by Lomography, who has brought the Diana and classic Lomo cameras to us before. It uses the widely available Fuji Instax Mini […]
Travel Lighting Rental TipsAt Orange Photography, we do a lot of travel and photo shoots on-location. As a result, we’ve had some issues finding good rental houses (or lighting rental locations at all!). One of the best solutions we’ve found (aside from renting locally from the place you’re shooting at) is to just use your local rental house to ship, or use great services like […]
Funnily enough The Bold Italic beat us to this (How to Survive Your Company Holiday Party) but we were trying to get some real-life examples during all the holiday parties we’re photographing and the holiday party photo booths we’re doing all season.

Our team pulled some long hours during MPI WEC 2014 but we also had time to have some fun. Above, we hit The Local after our shoots wrapped up to have a drink right before last call (notice the bar is empty for all but our team :). But that wasn’t all we did. Mostly we were all over the place covering all the happenings and taking headshots […]

We were fortunate enough to get to attend chasejarvisLIVE live and in person recently! Two members from our team were in attendance in the standing-room-only creativeLIVE studios here in San Francisco on Wednesday June 18th where Tina Roth Eisenberg (aka @swissmiss) was in conversation with Chase Jarvis.
One of the themes was side projects and labors of love and why you […]

One is Think Tank Photo who produces camera bags and accessories, and the other is with Lexar Media. The first product we ever bought from Think Tank was the Airport Antidote camera bag. It was right after the company started up and we heard about them when shooting for the […]
