Sarah Silverman backstage and on City Arts & Lectures

2017-07-25T15:34:50-07:00By |Categories: Event, Point of View|Tags: , , |

We’ve said it many times before that one of the great things about shooting events is the variety of work we get to do. A last minute shoot happened (we often get last minute bookings and are almost always able to respond), and it was for our friends at City Arts  & Lectures who had comedienne Sarah Silverman on the program.

As I waited backstage for […]

Hyphen Cover Shoot – The Inside/Out Issue

2010-05-10T08:30:09-07:00By |Categories: Photography, Portraiture & Headshots|Tags: , , |

Back in March, I did a cover shoot for Hyphen Magazine at the old studio. The issue’s theme was Inside/Out.
It was still cold and wet then (seems like so long ago), and cover model, Pahole, graciously endured hours of goosebumps, as the shoot ran almost a full day through the body painting, make up, hair, and oh yeah the shooting.

Successful First Exposures photobooth and auction!

2017-07-25T15:34:50-07:00By |Categories: Event, Giving Back, Photobooth, Point of View|Tags: , , |

The First Exposures program is one we’ve supported for quite some time.  I remember first thinking about doing a similar idea through Orange but then found out that it was already being done well, and now I’ve been mentoring with that program for a few years.  Last month there was an auction which we had our photobooth at and it was a big hit.  But the […]

Christina and Ethen

Christina and Ethen had a beautiful Buddhist ceremony at one of the most gorgeous resorts north of San Francisco, Cavallo Point. The surrounding views of the Golden Gate Bridge and our lovely city of San Francisco makes it a perfect place to tie the knot. Although they are rare, I love Buddhist ceremonies as it reminds me of my own […]

We recently had the pleasure of reconnecting with two of our 2008 wedding couples to capture the next chapters in their lives: parenthood!

Hyphen Magazine - leaders and board members

Last month Hyphen Magazine was in need of some headshots of the Board of Directors and leadership team, including head people on the Editorial Team. They use these for press releases, grant applying, basically anywhere they’ll want to put a friendly face to a name. Each session lasted about fifteen minutes and I got a chance to chat one-on-one with each of them. Was great to learn […]

san francisco center for the book

I was recently commissioned to create a custom stock library for the wonderful San Francisco Center for the Book, in neighboring Potrero Hill. I pass the center twice a day on my commute but hadn’t had a chance to stop by and investigate their classes. They provides tons of expertise on letterpress, bookbinding, printing, and more.

The brief included capturing equipment, instructors, spaces and textures, but was pretty open-ended. […]
