Vacation photography is something that’s kind of a challenge for a photographer. When we go on vacation we’re supposed to not be working, but then photography as a hobby is something we would still want to do so it’s always a challenge to figure out whether you want to bring any gear, and/or what to shoot […]
We have been working with Help-Portrait for five years now and this year we participated at the Joseph Lee Rec Center in the Bayview district of San Francisco. Giving Back is important to Orange so we’re always happy to be able to volunteer our time and/or resources when we can. Once again this year we teamed up with First Exposures to help with the Help-Portrait volunteer effort. There were five stations set up […]

In case you haven’t noticed, we at Orange have an affinity for pinball. We’ve been documenting the resurgence in pinball over the past couple years, and have even had a pinball machine at the studio (with a new Iron Man coming soon!).
Since we have always been philanthropic through our Social Photography program, we decided there was a great way to merge that with pinball and photography and as such, […]

Last week we photographed Bill Gates talking about philanthropy and a host of other subjects at the AirBnB headquarters in San Francisco. He spoke to Sequoia’s Michael Moritz and it was an interesting exchange to hear one of the world’s foremost philanthropists and tech luminaries speak. It was neat to see that Gates is a very down-to-earth guy, and still a nerd at heart.
As the event photographer, […]

It happened during the always fun SF Sketchfest, and was help at The Punchline’s in support of Variety’s Therapeutic Scholarship Program. The program proving scholarships to deserving disabled children to receive specialized care and to achieve greatness through their Mobility […]
You may have heard that Speakeasy has a new taproom designed by Kelly Malone and we finally checked it out during a fundraiser for her. The place is gorgeous and we set up a photobooth for the benefit too and because of the design it was a cinch to make it look amazing since the design and interior is so sweet. The gangster speakeasy style comes through from […]

The kids in First Exposures all had fun and realized the power of giving back to the community. This video was […]
