Zahra Noorbakhsh
I previously blogged about a shoot with actress and funny woman Zahra Noorbakhsh and got to photograph her again at the studio last week! Her solo show “All Atheists are Muslim” continues in June in San Francisco.  It’s a personal and comedic glimpse into her life, as she convinces her immigrant Iranian Muslim parents it’s time her white Atheist boyfriend moves in with her.

Zahra got into character for the shoot […]

Behind the Scenes - Gavin Newsom Portrait
Gene and I recently had the honor of shooting Mayor Gavin Newsom’s official portrait in City Hall. 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 Sacramento to […]

These two are so cute together and we had a fun time in North Beach for their engagement shoot.  I’m really looking forward to their wedding as they have so much warmth between the two of them.  I used to be a bit ambivalent about engagement shoots but have found they are a great way to try new things.  Most couples probably haven’t […]

So one of the things we’ve heard that folks are interested in is more behind-the-scenes and diagrams etc of how we shoot and create the images we do for our clients.  This shot shows one of the rooms that we had to use for some business portraits.  A lot of the time space constraints are some of the biggest challenges we have so you […]

Heyzap Portraits

2017-07-25T15:33:55-07:00By |Categories: Photography, Portraiture & Headshots|Tags: , |

I photograph executive portraits all the time, and most of the time the subjects aren’t as fun as these two fine gentlemen from Heyzap. Both co-founders were from London and had been friends since their childhood days. Anytime the subjects have a bit of history together, it’s always much easier for them to cut lose and have a bit of fun with the photo shoot. They […]
