Disco-Bow-Tie---Betabrand

We had the honor of shooting the Sno-ball party, one of the many joint birthday parties we’ve shot over the years (remember April Mistakes?!) and it was quite a blast.  People dressed up in many ways, and we’re honored that Betabrand has decided to use a few shots on their website (above).  They’ve got some sweet threads on there so check it out if you need something to […]

Book Review: Garbology

2017-07-24T21:23:00-07:00By |Categories: Photography, Point of View, Reviews|Tags: , , , , , , , , |

Being a Green business, we are always looking at ways we can keep a minimal footprint while still providing excellent service and photography to our clients.  Recently on NPR, I heard Pulitzer Prize winning writer Edward Humes being interviewed about his latest book, Garbology, and finally got to read it.

It’s a fascinating piece of writing, and really made me want to make Orange an even […]

Two recent documentaries we’ve watched focus on two very different photographers.  The first is Chasing Ice, which follows James Balog and tells the story of the Extreme Ice Survey which he’s been doing for many years and follows the travails of Balog as he works to tip public opinion on climate change so that people will do what’s necessary to save our planet for future generations.  Motivated by his daughters […]

This past week we Americans were more than ready to get together with family and gobble up a big meal. But in Indian culture, Diwali (the festival of lights) was just finishing up along with the My India Event Trends showcase at San Francisco City Hall.

We were honored to be asked to capture this cultural and exciting evening and collaborate with some of our […]

Photography as a workout

2017-07-24T21:23:01-07:00By |Categories: Photography, Point of View, Reviews, Special Events and Meetings|Tags: , , , , , , |

Just this past week we were in Chicago to shoot the Schwab IMPACT conference and just got back from it. One of the things that came up during the conference that we’ve tackled before, was the amount of walking during a day of shooting. Talking to one of the other photographers, I decided to track how many steps I took during the […]

We all love a parade!

2017-07-24T21:23:02-07:00By |Categories: Personal, Photography, Point of View, Special Events and Meetings|Tags: , , , , , , , , |

The Giants won the World Series for the second time in three years and we went to the parade and rally again yesterday! It was so fun and we let folks from the studio take off to check it out if they wanted since so many of us here are Giants fans. I was particularly psyched to see Tony Bennett again and this was the […]

Well, the 2012 baseball season is over and the crew at Orange was super excited to see our San Francisco Giants win the World Series for the second time in three years.  It was also awesome that one of the main hashtags for the postseason was #OrangeOctober, which of course, we loved!

During the course of the season, we took some

Let’s go Giants!

2017-07-24T21:23:02-07:00By |Categories: Point of View, Special Events and Meetings|Tags: , , |


Last night I got an impromptu invitation to check out the game from fellow photographer Myleen Hollero and got to sit in the upper deck for the first time. The view was pretty cool and it was a good game with Madison Bumgarner pitching strong and getting the win, and solid defense to compliment just enough offense including the game winning RBI from Hunter Pence […]

<!–end_raw–>

The topic of retouching can be a tricky one. With advances in digital technology, the widely accepted embrace of digital photography by the professional photography community and the saturation of photo enhancement programs, everyone is “photoshopping” these days.
