So Maia had her soiree at the venerable DiPietro Todd Salon and is a full on stylist now. She hired me to shoot it and I was experimenting with some post-production techniques that are quite popular now in advertising photography and was fairly happy with this shot.

This was a shot that Anka Urbahn took during a shoot at the new space before we moved in. The shoot was in March and the model is Marcy Porter, a professional figure athlete who had just competed in the 2005 San Francisco Pro Figure Championships. Obviously this is using the ring flash, which we don’t use too frequently but has a really signature look…
