We’ve been doing more and more environmental portraits as part of the custom stock work we’ve been creating for our clients of late and it’s a lot of fun. In the past we’ve talked about the value of building out custom stock libraries and how it’s not as expensive as you might think. Additionally having control […]
Earlier this year we had the wonderful opportunity to photograph some custom stock photography and staff headshots for Small Potatoes Catering and Events. It was really a fun time going over there and setting up for some food shoots as well as their amazing chef at work! We love getting to go and photograph people doing what they love, that’s the power […]
Today we have so many ways to get yourself out there and on social media especially, your image is important and something that contributes to your own personal brand as well as your business. In the past we’ve talked about the difference between headshots […]
This fall Orange had the pleasure of partnering with Kitchen Table Advisors to take portraits of some local farmers at Bay Area Farmers markets. Kitchen Table Advisors provides small, sustainable, farms with the resources and knowledge to grow into a viable business. We were happy to contribute our talents to their […]
Recently I got to hear Joanne Dennison speak about intellectual property rights. She had some great insight into how to use creative and intellectual property correctly to avoid lawsuits and such.

We photographed Alexis back in 2012 and she’s been on a tear since in the world of Mixed Martial Arts. The above shot was during that shoot we did for her and we were excited to see that she’ll be facing off against Ronda Rousey at UFC 175 in Las Vegas.
Chances are if you are a portrait photographer you’ve seen or heard of Peter Hurley. If you haven’t seen his presentation at the Google + Photographers Conference, check it out on YouTube. We purchased his tutorial on headshots and someone asked me why we needed it. The truth is you can never stop learning, especially in the world of photography. Change is inevitable and if you don’t adapt then you’ll fall […]
We shoot quite a bit in Las Vegas, and people are always interested in what types of photo shoot locations there are. Of course there’s the Strip and downtown (where we like shooting around the graffiti spots) but there’s also places further out that are quite popular including the dry lake bed south of town and Red Rocks and Nelson, the abandoned mining town.
Of course, what says […]
Help-Portrait was a lot of fun this year and Orange was happy to participate including donating equipment and supplies as well as manpower. This year our Help-Portrait location at the Bayview Opera House photographed over 670 people and included 117 volunteers. It was even crazier than last year and the vibe was fantastic.
