### [Working to Empower Young Girls at Lindsey Vonn's Strong Girls Camp!](https://orangephotography.com/working-to-empower-young-girls-at-lindsey-vonns-strong-girls-camp/)
**Published:** September 19, 2019
**Author:** jack
**Content:**
It’s always a treat when we get to shoot events that feature an influential figure. But even better when it’s for a great cause that serves to help a community!
We were there to cover the Strong Girls Camp hosted by the [Lindsey Vonn Foundation](https://www.lindseyvonnfoundation.org/) in New York City.
Vonn, an Olympic gold medalist in alpine ski racing with 82 World Cup victories, set out to increase confidence in young girls by pairing each of them with a female athlete and mentoring them for the weekend as they enjoyed the activities. But Vonn also wanted to make sure that she wasn’t detached from the camp and actively participated by spending individual time with each of the young girls.
Understanding how the presence of an iconic figure can positively impact and motivate these young girls, she recounts her own experience of meeting the Olympic Gold Medalist Picabo Street: “She was just larger than life. It’s kind of like meeting a superhero and never thinking that they actually really exist until you meet them in person.”
> “She was just larger than life. It’s kind of like meeting a superhero and never thinking that they actually really exist until you meet them in person.” – Lindsey Vonn
That moment drives Vonn to give others the same type of life-changing moment she had with Street.
Here’s some of the things the girls said they learned from the camp:
> “I can do anything! My body is my machine and it’s beautiful. My limits are only in my head and I can get through them.”
>
> “No matter the situation, you can always think of the positive things versus the negative. I just have to love myself.”
>
> “Self love and confidence.”
>
> “That bad days are the best days because you learn from them.”
>
> “That I will do anything and that I can, I have a strong team, body, mind and I can overcome negative destructive thought with 3 easy steps.”
>
> “I learned that my mindset is very important and that I can always accomplish anything if I try.”
>
> “That everyone is beautiful in their own way.”
And some of the parent’s reactions about their daughters’ expereinces:
> “It was a great experience. We are thankful to have been a part of it. It is a wonderful program to go through, for learning, experience, fun and friendships.”
>
> “Super supportive environment for gaining more tools heading into these often times confusing pre teen/teen years.”
>
> “She gets to spend the weekend with a group of bad ass women.”
>
> “Very unique, inspiring, great team girls atmosphere.”
>
> “It made her feel special. I have daughters and nieces that need this message from someone other than their parents. Meeting older girls who are successful athletes is SO important! Girls don’t have enough access to successful girl mentors! Thank you.”

Orange captured all of the fun activities and interactions such as obstacle courses, team building challenges, and workshops that focused on confidence building and development. And this year we introduced a photo booth that the girls loved because Lindsey was able to take a picture with every single attendee. We’re lucky to have someone like Lindsey influencing the young women in our community!
The Strong Girls Camp is [coming to Baltimore](https://www.lindseyvonnfoundation.org/news/1/lindsey-vonn-foundation-summer-camp-for) on September 28-29, and as a nationwide company, you can count on Orange to be there to capture all of the fun moments as well!

### [Giving Back with My New Red Shoes](https://orangephotography.com/giving-back-with-my-new-red-shoes/)

We were very fortunate to collaborate with [My New Red Shoes](https://mynewredshoes.org/bayarea) at their event in East Palo Alto last week. The organization is a nonprofit whose purpose is to serve underprivileged children by providing them with clothes. This event in particular was a shoe giveaway where families would show up at their time slot and select a pair of shoes for the child to take home.
We contributed by shooting candid stills and providing a photo booth for the kids and their families after they received their shoes, where they could print out a copy of the image and also get a digital version. The giveaway is a great opportunity for these families to instill a sense of joy into their lives, and having a photo of the kids with their family makes it even more memorable.
The event’s impact is significant because this not only helps meet the children’s basic needs, but also improves their self-esteem and confidence as they go into another school year among their peers, as the vulnerability of thinking yourself as the “poor kid” can be very powerful. So it was great for us to capture the joy on the kid’s faces as they got to choose their new pair of kicks!
It can also be difficult for nonprofits to secure a professional photographer and create assets for their marketing material. Having professional photos really increases their visibility and potential to attract more funds and resources for their cause.
I had the chance to speak with one of the event organizers and it just reminded me of how every resource is impactful for these types of organizations that are completely volunteer and donation driven.
We’re always grateful to attend and shoot corporate events, but using our knowledge and skills to help shed light on causes like this feels incredibly meaningful since they are purely focused on helping the disadvantaged and it feel like we’re making a difference by telling their story. Go check them our if you’re feeling generous!

### [WWF Bridging the Gap Between Climate Change and the Youth](https://orangephotography.com/wwf-bridging-the-gap-between-climate-change-and-the-youth/)
**Published:** September 4, 2019
**Author:** jack
**Excerpt:** Back in September 2018, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) joined in the first ever Global Climate Action Summit in San Francisco to bring businesses, state and local government, civil society and citizens together in an effort to fight the growing predicament of climate change.
**Content:**
Back in September 2018, the [World Wildlife Fund](https://www.worldwildlife.org/) (WWF) joined in the first ever [Global Climate Action Summit](https://selectra.co.uk/energy/news/world/global-climate-action-summit-2019) in San Francisco to bring businesses, state and local government, civil society and citizens together in an effort to fight the growing predicament of climate change.
We were privileged to have a role in the conference by providing video coverage of the entire event. This included interviews of several leaders in the movement such as Carter Roberts, CEO and President of WWF, as well as [Janet Napolitano](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano), President of the University of California.
The purpose of the summit was to engage all of these parties to collaborate and remind the world that the threat of climate change is more real than ever. By bringing together leaders and communities from around the world, they can all be a part of the conversation and demonstrate the consequences that climate change has had on their communities, while also sharing the successful strategies they’ve implemented.

## **Bringing the Youth into the conversation**
WWF’s intention was to include the youth in the conversation as they are the future of the movement. During the first day of the conference, we did a livestream where WWF hosted a panel of youths for a segment titled, *Starting Soon: Climate Change In My Lifetime*, where four young speakers from across the country discussed the climate change impacts they’ve experienced.
By giving these Youth Ambassadors a stage to share their stories of how their lives were changed by natural disasters, including hurricanes and forest fires, WWF provided a platform for their voice to be heard and become leaders in the movement.

[](https://orangephotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/10829_JH__026-1.jpg)
For these individuals, the damage is already done. But the hope is that the work they’re doing to raise awareness about these natural disasters will affect the outcome of children who experience them in the future.

## **Rise for Climate March**
It culminated in the [Rise for Climate](https://riseforclimate.org/) march led by the Youth Ambassadors on September 8th, 2018, where over 30,000 protesters led by the young participants joined hundreds of thousands worldwide to march in unity and push for urgent action from local leaders.
With the march, these activists showed that they weren’t waiting for governments to act and would instead lead by example, urging elected officials and corporate executives to push for equitable, community-led solutions instead of profit-driven decisions.

In their own words:
*“It’s nice to be recognized. But when your industry peers give you an award at a spectacular celebration because they think you’re one of the best, brightest, most creative and innovative, it’s downright humbling. Especially when the party’s over and you need to write your press releases and brace for an avalanche of recognition from new high-profile clients who just happen to have a new project for you. This is the recognition that the ISES Esprit Awards deliver.”*

### [Winter 2023 Photography Studio Updates](https://orangephotography.com/winter-2023-event-photography_video/)
**Published:** February 17, 2023
**Author:** jack
**Excerpt:** The marketing team of Allianz engaged with us for their wonderful client reception at the venerable Ferry Building. Additionally, we were on the show floor at Riskworld interviewing their employees on video on how they support their clients in a risky world and how nice it was to be back in-person at these live events.
**Content:**
When I was living in California, the concept of winter was more of just a tourist destination like going to Tahoe. Now, being in Michigan, winter means a lot more indoor time to work on the stuff that always gets deprioritized when the weather is nice. Hence, we had some time to take a break from the volume of work that picked up considerably last year to strengthen our relationships with many of our existing clients. Obviously, we serve mostly corporate clients but even that group is pretty diverse in terms of needs around the photography/video services we provide. As we hone in on servicing our best clients better, we’re excited to lay the foundation for launching a new offering to clients in the middle of the year so stay tuned for that!
In other news, my [personal project around Buddhism](https://beyondthecushion.com/) progressed nicely last year as I was able to interview about 15 people throughout the US. The winter break allowed to me digest all that content and tighten the narrative so that it is more welcoming to people not as familiar with Buddhist concepts. Check out [my blog update](https://beyondthecushion.com/winter2023/) for more details on the progress.
# United MileagePlus
On a more fun note, we covered a wonderful event put on by United MileagePlus for their members at [McEnvoy Ranch](https://www.mcevoyranch.com/) doing [event photography](https://orangephotography.com/photography/events_meetings/) and brand photography.
# RiskWorld with Allianz
The marketing team of Allianz engaged with us for their wonderful client reception at the venerable [Ferry Building](https://www.ferrybuildingmarketplace.com/). Additionally, we were on the show floor at [Riskworld](https://www.rims.org/annual-conferences/rims-2022/home) interviewing their employees on video on how they support their clients in a risky world and how nice it was to be back in-person at these live events.
# Carnegie Mellon
[Carnegie Mellon’s Information Networking Institute](https://www.cmu.edu/ini/) engaged us to highlight their [Practicum showcase](https://www.cmu.edu/ini/news/2022/practicum-showcase-2022.html) where corporate sponsors and the students mingled on research projects. Our event photography coverage and video highlight reel provided a seamless experience for the client!

### [What the holidays mean...](https://orangephotography.com/what-the-holidays-mean/)
**Published:** December 28, 2016
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
At Orange we’re always so busy during the holidays since we photograph a ton of holiday parties and do lots of holiday photo booths too so it’s a taxing time on our team. Typically after the third week of December though, things slow down and many of us get some time to catch up on our own lives. Here’s what the holidays mean to our team!
Kat’s been on maternity leave but “this Christmas was the most memorable for our family because we welcomed our sweet little girl!”
---
For Shannon, the holidays mean:
- Making an insane amount of cookies with my mom, then taking them to any holiday parties we go to
- Spending time with family
- Hopefully getting a bit of Colorado snow (I like it about once a year, the rest of the time, I don’t miss snow)
- Watching [Elf](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkwdYSn3Uws) and [A Christmas Story](http://mentalfloss.com/article/54324/25-things-look-while-watching-24-hour-christmas-story-marathon) at least once
- Enjoying the lights at night. I love sitting in the living room with only the tree on or driving around town and seeing the houses lit up and the trees in the windows.
 
---
Jenna’s holidays means spending time with family and looking at old photographs. Below are some great vintage shots: “This is my grandma when she was attending college in 1942.”
---
Katelyn had a new adventure this holiday season: “This is the first time spending the holidays with David’s family. Christmas is always a time for family for me and I get really nostalgic this time of year so I wanted to help create some family memories for them by doing some family and pet family portraits. All of his siblings live far away from each other so a full get together is rare! I am also shooting his sisters wedding in May so I offered a very mini engagement session to show them what it will be like later this next year!”

Producer Karen, who produces most of our video jobs says: “2016 has been weird and amazing for me so the mood for all these videos reflect on my current holiday mood.”

From our sales team, Liam says “Ever since I was 12 and gifted a train set for Christmas, it’s tradition to have the train underneath the tree. My parents have collected Christmas ornaments for years. Some even go back to the 1960’s. One year the tree fell on top of me and a few of the old ones broke. My mom was more concerned with the ornaments. ?”
---
Based in Chicago, Rebecca’s holiday season is often a lot colder than in our home base of San Francisco.
“The holidays to me means family and giving. I’m never as excited to get as I am to give! This year was a making holiday, as I built a classic “Leg Lamp” for my dad from the infamous “Christmas Story”, a movie we would watch every year. Now he’s got a “major award”!
 
---
For my business partner and co-founder [Jack](https://orangephotography.com/aboutus/jack-huynh/), this is what the holidays mean:
---
And finally for me,([Gene](https://orangephotography.com/aboutus/gene-hwang/)), it means food and family and no pinball. There’s a dearth of pinball where my parents live so I did get lucky and play one night but there’s no pinball on location. Instead I mostly eat with my family and hang out. Always great to have mom’s cooking and hang with the family!

### [Leveraging Video - how to get the most out of it!](https://orangephotography.com/leveraging-video/)
**Published:** June 22, 2017
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
As a still and motion photography studio we’ve seen how much more video is being used lately and how leveraging [video](https://orangephotography.com/video/) can really help promote your event, brand or idea.
At first you may think video is complicated and expensive and while it can cost more than still imagery because of the additional complexity involved, there are also ways to create video content that’s much simpler. For example a popular way of leveraging video is to create a slideshow. Often at conferences you might see a slideshow of images from the conference set to music and with nice transitions that plays while people walk into a keynote or something similar. This is something that’s not too complicated to pull together and that we do quite often.
On the other hand, you can go more complex, but the value is there.
[Video testimonials](https://vimeo.com/105188401) are always a great feature. Not only do they have more impact than just a written one, they can help convey more emotion and literally let your clients speak for you. Your clients can also be allowed to promote and discuss their own business a little so it’s a win-win for both parties.
You can also create content that establishes you as an expert by creating tutorials or even just showing real live content.
For events, one of the current trends is doing live video, which has never been easier to do. With services like Facebook Live and [Periscope](https://www.pscp.tv/) you can broadcast straight from your phone. People love to see things as they happen and behind the scenes as well. Doing a quick Instagram story of how you’re working an event can be compelling and show the hard work that goes into what you do. Of course you want to make sure any such broadcast is okayed by your client first.
Entrepreneur magazine [had a story they published](https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/276525) with other ideas on how you can be leveraging video that you should also check out here and a couple months ago Smart Meetings posted [this great article](http://www.smartmeetings.com/technology/98683/best-practices-event-video-production) on *Best Practices of Leveraging Video Content Online*.
Lately there’s also data that shows that [square videos](https://video214.com/play/vQqBKRiF0ogqQo34EtRVMg/s/dark) have more impact than standard aspect ratios. This is more for video shared online so we’ve been experimenting with that too.
As always, [feel free to contact us](/contact/) if you have any ideas or questions about what we can do for you in the realm of video!

Earlier this year we had the wonderful opportunity to photograph some[ custom stock photography](https://orangephotography.com/custom-stock-photography/) and staff headshots for [Small Potatoes Catering and Events](https://www.smallpotatoescaters.com/). 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 of custom stock. We get to showcase who you are and what you do, while getting you great images for your own collateral.
Its just an added bonus that we got to be treated to their absolutely amazing food. We were really impressed with the fresh herbs/lemons their Chef brought in from his own garden and it really added the extra beauty for the shoot!
Here are some of our favorite images from the shoot with some extra behind the scenes of us at work!
         
Here we are hard at work (minutes before eating absolutely delicious food)!

## Slow Motion Photo Booths – what’s the deal?
### [](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/7389_DropboxSloMo_0001f.jpg)Are you getting a real deal with your Slow Motion Photo Booth (or as we call ours, a Slo Mo Booth)?
Don’t be fooled by packages that leave your guests waiting up to two weeks to see their quirky, fun, and unforgettable images and video clips from the company holiday party. Sure, you might save some money by choosing basic slow mo packages, but at what cost? Ask yourself these questions before YOU choose your SLO MO Booth Vendor!
1\. Does the Slo Mo Booth have a real high speed camera so results can be seen immediately?
2\. Are my guests able to use the onsite viewing feature?
3\. Is there a playback monitor for guests to feel like they are a part of this fun event?
It’s also great for guests and/or to display across the event and you’ll no doubt see many attendees recording it on their phones to share with friends. [](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/7747_Recode_GXH_0002f.jpg)The fun of a Slow Motion photo booth is to provide a unique, exciting, interactive activity for your guests. If the answer to any of these questions is a NO, then you’ve been duped! Give your guests what they deserve and book the Slo Mo Booth that is going to give everyone the ultimate experience. [](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/7920_CEMA_0003f.jpg)We’ve been doing slow motion photo booths for years and [this is one of the most popular clips](https://vimeo.com/69428866) we’ve posted from a couple years ago if you need some ideas for inspiration (and you are daring!)

### [Orange Teams Up with Kicks LA and Converse for New Store Launch](https://orangephotography.com/converse_kicksla_photobooth/)
**Published:** April 4, 2015
**Author:** jack
**Content:**
[Kicks LA](http://www.kickssoleprovider.com/default.asp) recently unveiled a new store location in Los Angeles. To spread the word of the opening, Kicks LA teamed up with Orange and mega-popular shoemaker Converse for the launch party and to market [Converse’s “Made By You”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYPzPXMfp8Y) brand campaign. The concept: Everyone who enters the store (during the launch day) can leave with a custom designed poster from our ever popular studio booth. Instead of having store visitors and guests get their picture taken, we shot their shoes instead!
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Screen-Shot-2015-04-03-at-2.53.54-PM__.png)
Along with on-site designers, anyone who arrived at the store with a pair of new (or old) Converse sneakers could get them photographed. Once the image of the shoes were taken, the designers added on graphics, logos, and a personalized signature of each shoe-owner.
The end result was an 11×17″ poster, printed directly from to our on-site printers. Each poster was a unique representation of it’s owner. The goal was to capture the essence of the shoe-owner through their Converse and it really turned out well! Check out some of the poster’s below.

### [Giving Back: Highlighting My New Red Shoe's Impact On Local Families](https://orangephotography.com/giving-back-highlighting-my-new-red-shoes-impact-on-local-families/)
**Published:** October 7, 2019
**Author:** jack
**Excerpt:** Not long ago, we donated our time and services to the My New Red Shoes organization to photograph their event that gave away new shoes to underprivileged families. For us, it was very gratifying to capture the joy on the kids and families’ faces as they got to choose their new pair of kicks.

Not long ago, we donated our time and services to the [My New Red Shoes](https://mynewredshoes.org) organization to photograph their event that gave away new shoes to underprivileged families. For us, it was very gratifying to capture the joy on the kids and families’ faces as they got to choose their new pair of kicks.
The organization holds local events that give away shoes and clothing to disadvantaged children in the area, which serves to not only help meet the basic needs of the youth, but also to improve their self-esteem and confidence as they go into another school year among their peers.
After this event took place, My New Red Shoes reached out to use to see if we could produce a short, compelling vide that shared the impact of their work on the local families, both the parents and children. We thought it was a great opportunity to donate our production to the cause just as we’re ramping up our video services.
The video premiered at their [Fashion Show Fundraiser](https://rocktherunway.org/) at the end of September. It was a powerful story and we felt that sharing it could reach others and influence them to make small donations as well.
We love doing this type of work and are committed to making a difference in the community by shining a light on organizations like these. To find out more about our videos for nonprofits and conscious companies, click on the button.
[Learn more about our passion. ](https://orangephotography.com/video/non-profits/)
## **Producing The Video**
Since the goal of the video was to highlight the specific impact the nonprofit has had on individual children and families, we performed interviews with a parent whose child was a program recipient and the superintendent of Orchard School, Wendy Gudalewicz.
We had a relatively quick and seamless set up that included a cinema camera, boom and lavalier mics to capture audio, and a lighting kit to make sure our subjects were properly exposed.
Once we had all of the footage, our editors spliced and pieced together the most compelling sections from the interview to show the narrative that brings out the essence of what this organization does for the children and families whose lives they’ve affected.

[](https://orangephotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/09.03.19-MNRS-BTS_0002.jpg)
In addition to the interview footage, we also captured B-roll of the children playing on the playground as well as our featured family enjoying time by the nearby park and creek.
## **Highlighting MNRS’s Role and Impact on The Families**
Naomi Robinson and her son Robert were highlighted as My New Red Shoe’s program recipients and in the video. She details how elated she was to get the call from Orchard School Superintendent Wendy Gudalewicz that her 6 year old son would receive $500 to go towards meeting Robert’s basic clothing needs.
For Naomi, being single mom, it’s a struggle to do all of the normal everyday things and she can often get overwhelmed. But after she got the call, she felt empowered. She describes emotionally:
> “All of a sudden, your life that was dark and ugly… is beautiful everyday. Everyday I come in from work, everything is so beautiful. When I see him come home from school and he’s tired but he has new shoes on, it’s beautiful”. -Program Recipient Naomi Robinson

[](https://orangephotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/11285_BD_0109.jpg)
Naomi’s reaction speaks exactly to the mission that My New Red Shoes is striving for. Their work not only alleviates the struggles that these families go through so they can feel normal, but it also contributes to a larger purpose of bringing communities together around the basic needs of children.
Superintendent Gudalewicz notes:
> “Anyone and everyone in Silicon Valley that has the means necessary to help children, our children, all the children, and their families should step up… because when we talk about giving children one pair of shoes, to us it might be no big deal but to them it becomes the world.” – Superintendent Wendy Gudalewicz

### [Leveraging the Current Environment with Custom Stock Photography](https://orangephotography.com/leveraging-the-current-environment-with-custom-stock-photography/)
**Published:** March 11, 2021
**Author:** jack
**Excerpt:** So what’s a great way to emerge out of the pandemic and let your audience know that you’re open and ready for business? How about some custom stock photos that reminds them of your presence and puts you top of mind! Having an updated set of images is a great way to build anticipation and make people look forward to working with you again. And it's something that's still doable as we're socially distancing amid the pandemic. You’ll immediately stand out from your competitors who are still seemingly lying dormant waiting for the best time to start promoting themselves.
**Content:**
Imagine your client base who haven’t heard much from your company over the last year. Some of them may be wondering what you’re up to, while others might have even forgotten about you.
So what’s a great way to emerge out of the pandemic and let your audience know that you’re open and ready for business? How about some [custom stock photos](https://orangephotography.com/custom-stock-photography/) that reminds them of your presence and puts you top of mind! Having an updated set of images is a great way to build anticipation and make people look forward to working with you again. And it’s something that’s still doable as we’re socially distancing amid the pandemic. You’ll immediately stand out from your competitors who are still seemingly lying dormant waiting for the best time to start promoting themselves.
And even better, you can use these photos to tell your story and give an update on how things are going with your business. People connect with familiar faces so when they see that you are taking the time and effort to promote yourselves, it lets them know you’re ready to go full throttle and making a strong push with your services.
No doubt, you’ll make a lasting impression with your customers when they see updated images of your business running smoothly. But what else can custom stock offer? Let’s go over everything you need to know so you can comfortably decide whether now is a great time to invest in these assets.
## **What is Custom Stock?**
[](https://orangephotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/011_SPiN_OrangePhotography_BlogKT-13.jpg)
[](https://orangephotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/032_SPiN_OrangePhotography_BlogKT-12.jpg)
[](https://orangephotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/003_SPiN_OrangePhotography_BlogKT-4.jpg)
[](https://orangephotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/001_SPiN_OrangePhotography_BlogKT-2.jpg)
So you need a new image for your website but the only ones available are just some generic ones you find in online inventories. The problem with those are that it doesn’t look like it’s from your company, doesn’t represent your mission and values, and seems like an image your competitors might even be using!
Instead of browsing through hundreds of these generic stock photos and purchasing them, you can instead opt for custom stock photos that are original to your business and can be used for any of your marketing needs. With custom stock photography, a professional photographer will take images that can only be used for you and your business.
It’s a perfect way to visually create a brand that fits your mission, aesthetics, and style. And the end result is: the custom photos will perform better because they resonate more with your potential customers.
As long as you have a vision of how you want your brand to be perceived, you can use custom stock to build your brand story visually.
## **Benefits of Custom Stock**
### Unique, Original, and High-Quality Photos
The most obvious benefit is that these photos will be exclusive to you so no one else will be able to use them. Moreover, a hired photographer can capture the style, environment, and situations that are specific to your company. So you have the freedom and flexibility to decide the message you want to send and the vision you want. Having high-quality images to represent your brand immediately elevates it because your customers know you have invested in your image. And showing real people in familiar environments/situations are extremely powerful in shifting perceptions about your brand.
### Avoids Disconnect with General Stock Images
It seems so much easier to just get images from a stock inventory like [Shutterstock](https://www.shutterstock.com/photos) or your web hosting platform. But these sometimes seem soulless and vacuous because there’s just no connection to them. It’s like a restaurant that puts images of another restaurant’s food on their menu – when you look at it, something just seems off. But hiring a photographer to get images specific to your company will instantly connect with your audience because they capture its most important aspects and more accurately represents who you are to them.
### Impress Your Potential Customers
When they see that the people and environment in your images actually fit your business and brand, they know you’re legitimate. It adds that extra level of professionalism that you have really invested in your business. Also, featuring your own staff can really humanize your brand since people like to connect with other people. When they actually see your staff in mode at your business, it will immediately give off a positive perception. Seeing recognizable faces emits authenticity, and people trust authenticity.
### Brand Consistency Across Marketing Channels
Another useful benefit of stock images is that you’ll have a consistent style of images across all of your marketing channels. Your business needs its own royalty-free image library of high-quality custom stock photos that you can use anytime, anywhere. And custom stock is the perfect way to be versatile in choosing what goes on your marketing materials that the world will see.
### Builds Internal Employee Efficacy
When you invest in your employees by showing them off and that you’re proud of them, they will appreciate it and feel seen. Having professional images of your staff can also increase their confidence in the company – who wouldn’t feel more trust and loyalty when you’re officially a part of the brand image?
### Great For Media and PR
Lastly, when you get some media attention, which photo are you going to use for that hero image? You don’t want them to use a generic stock photo. You want a highly-selected professional photo that gives off the message and perception you want others to see. And it actually turns out that if you have unique high-quality photos of your company and products, you’re more likely to be selected for media outlets like articles, blogs, newspapers, magazines, and even television! Overall, it will increase the public interest in your company.

## **Uses Of Custom Stock**
We talked about some of the uses of custom stock, but they really are endless in terms of personal, editorial, web, and commercial use.
You can build a library of assets for your social media channels like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and more. They can go on your landing pages for websites, email campaigns, reassembled into ads, blogs, print materials and so much more that can draw in your audiences.
## **Final Words**
With all of the potential options for custom stock, we’re hoping you feel the urge to get the best out of your photos with a personalized photographer for your company.

Yesterday evening, Design Industry Foundation Fighting AIDS put on their annual Dining by Design gala at the [San Francisco Design Center](https://sfdesigncenter.com/). Guests nibbled and sipped among some very posh tabletop setups, designed by the industry’s finest. We captured tabeltops with products from our client [Hartmann Studios](https://www.hartmannstudiosrentals.com/). Unfortunately the names of the designers for these escape me. I’d love to be a guest a dinner party that looked like this. I can only imagine what the food would be like. The green tent was my favorite, feeling like a cross between the circus and Alice and Wonderland. Magic!

### [How Repurposing Content Can Increase Your ROI](https://orangephotography.com/how-repurposing-content-can-increase-your-roi/)
**Published:** June 23, 2020
**Author:** jack
**Excerpt:** There's no doubt that content marketing for your company can be extremely time-consuming and labor intensive. Creating social media posts, blog entries, and email templates will drain up a lot of your energy over time, especially if you want it to be well-researched and effective.

It turns out repurposing content does exactly what you're looking for and can give you the highest level of return.

There’s no doubt that content marketing for your company can be extremely time-consuming and labor intensive. Creating social media posts, blog entries, and email templates will drain up a lot of your energy over time, especially if you want it to be well-researched and effective. So what if there was a way to make this a lot easier without having to reinvent the wheel every time? It turns out repurposing content does exactly what you’re looking for and can give you the highest level of return.
## What is Repurposing Content?
Repurposing is identifying valuable existing brand assets and reusing them intelligently to create new media for audiences to consume. It stretches the usability of the content and allows you to be creative with it to produce different pieces, including blog posts, ebooks, guides, infographics, guest posts, social media posts, and more.
This can shrink workloads, promote consistency and help you get every drop of value from your creative investments. In terms of digital assets, repurposing is all about adapting images, videos, and other media for use in different channels, promotions, and campaigns.
## Benefits of Repurposing Content
- Build your brand image and authority – improves brand consistency across multiple platforms
- Educate others about your company
- Get more assets out of old content just sitting there – maximizes content ROI
- Reach new audiences
- Relive good company memories
- Increase your content production and content marketing
- Increase content supply so you can produce more content and at a faster pace
## What You Can Create With Old Assets
1. Slideshow/album of images from an event
2. Social media clips using segments of a highlight reel or interview
3. Case studies and blogs around the subject matter of content
4. Turn a library of interviews into a summit
5. Adapting content and publish into new channels such as emails
6. Turn a series of blog posts into a PDF guide
7. Create a Pinterest board to increase your reach
8. Republish content on your website or third-party website
As Orange is now positioned as a consulting service, we have the tools to take your old assets that are just sitting around and crafting new media that engages current and new audiences, with new ways to show what your company can do.
While COVID-19 continues to suspend the event industry, we see a silver lining in the opportunity to provide this new service for all who are looking to leverage their existing content. If you’re interested in discussing options and discovering more, take a look into how we repurposed the media we captured from WWF’s Global Climate Action Summit to advance their messaging with new stories!

**Content:**
Over the past several years, we’ve had the privilege of partnering with the nonprofit division of AWS to support their annual conference—an event that brings together leading nonprofit organizations from across the country at their East Coast headquarters in Washington, DC.
Our engagement began with comprehensive photography coverage, focused on capturing the energy of the event—from keynote moments and breakout sessions to candid interactions that reflect the mission-driven community at the heart of the conference. As with many of our long-term partnerships, the scope evolved over time to support broader content and marketing goals.
In 2026, we expanded our role to include full-scale video production, delivering a series of sizzle reels designed to extend the life of the event beyond the conference itself. These highlight videos combine dynamic b-roll, key moments, and storytelling elements to create compelling assets for social, internal communications, and future event promotion—an approach we’ve refined across multi-day conferences and enterprise programs.
The result is a cohesive visual narrative—supported by both photography and video—that not only documents the event, but amplifies its impact.

### [A Major Update to Our Website](https://orangephotography.com/a-major-update-to-our-website-built-for-how-event-teams-actually-work/)
**Published:** April 29, 2026
**Author:** jack
**Excerpt:** Our major website redesign, crafted with planners, producers, and marketing stakeholders in mind, delivers greater clarity to our core services, highlights the depth of our video capabilities, and introduces new programs built for long-term partnerships and complex engagements.
**Content:**
Over the past year, we’ve taken a step back and asked a simple question: *How can we make it easier for event and marketing teams to find exactly what they need—faster, clearer, and with more confidence?*
This latest website update is our answer.
Designed with planners, producers, and marketing stakeholders in mind, the new experience brings greater clarity to our core services, highlights the depth of our video capabilities, and introduces new programs built specifically for long-term partnerships and complex engagements.
### A Clearer Structure Around Photo & Video Services
One of the biggest changes is a more intentional organization of our core offerings.
Photography and video services are now clearly separated and fully built out, with each major discipline having its own dedicated page. This allows teams to quickly navigate to the exact type of coverage they need—whether that’s a multi-day conference, a leadership meeting, or a branded content shoot.
On the video side in particular, we’ve refined our positioning to better reflect how clients actually engage with us. Video services are now broken down into four key areas:
- Conferences
- Meetings/Events
- Brand Marketing Promotions
- Nonprofits Stories
This structure aligns directly with real-world use cases—from large-scale, content-heavy conferences to more intimate executive meetings and ongoing brand storytelling initiatives. The videos showcased here capture the essence of our agency and the promotional and documentary video coverage we provide.
We’ve also introduced a dedicated [videographer portfolio](https://orangephotography.com/video/videographers/), giving you a more transparent look at our creative approach, production quality, and storytelling capabilities across industries. In additional, we also added a number of [principal photographers](https://orangephotography.com/photographers/) a few of our key markets.
### Introducing Our Preferred Partner Program
Another major addition is the launch of our [**Preferred Partner Program**](https://orangephotography.com/aboutus/preferred-partnership-program/)—designed for organizations looking to build consistency, efficiency, and long-term value across multiple engagements.
This program is especially relevant for event teams managing repeat programs, multi-city roadshows, or annual conferences.
Key highlights include:
- Streamlined planning and onboarding across events
- Consistent creative direction and brand alignment year over year
- Priority access to our nationwide network of vetted photographers and videographers
- Flexible pricing structures that support long-term engagement planning
At its core, the program is about partnership—not just project execution. It reflects how many of our most successful client relationships have evolved over time: collaborative, scalable, and built on trust.
### A New Services Page Focused on Complex Engagements
We’ve also launched a new services page that speaks directly to one of our biggest strengths: managing complex, large-scale imaging programs.
For teams operating across multiple cities or over multiple years, consistency and organization become just as important as creative quality.
This page highlights capabilities such as:
- [Multi-city and multi-year engagement management](https://orangephotography.com/services/multicity/)
- [Centralized digital asset management systems](https://orangephotography.com/services/dam/)
- [Real-time, on-site newsroom services for immediate content delivery](https://orangephotography.com/services/realtimecontent/)
These aren’t just add-ons—they’re essential tools for teams that need to capture, organize, and deploy content quickly across channels, stakeholders, and timelines. Our experience supporting nationwide programs has shown that having a single partner manage both production and asset flow dramatically reduces complexity while improving output.

This year, we’re honored to once again support a mission close to our hearts — by sponsoring the official video coverage for **Taste & Tribute 2025**, the benefit gala for the Tibetan Aid Project.
## 📖 What is Taste & Tribute?
Taste & Tribute is the signature annual benefit dinner for the Tibetan Aid Project. The 22nd Annual Taste & Tribute Benefit Dinner will take place on **Saturday, December 6, 2025**, at the Nyingma Institute in the Berkeley Hills — an intimate evening limited to just **60 distinguished guests**.
Guests will enjoy a thoughtfully crafted **five-course vegetarian meal** prepared by celebrated Buddhist culinary master Jeong Kwan; an elegant reception with hors d’oeuvres and premium wine; plus the excitement of live and silent auctions featuring luxury travel, fine art, and cultural experiences — all supporting TAP’s mission.
This event is not just a dinner — it’s a gathering where mindfulness, culture, and compassion meet, helping to raise vital funds for the preservation of Tibetan heritage.
## 🌱 Who is the Tibetan Aid Project?
Since its founding in 1969 by the Tibetan lama Tarthang Tulku, the Tibetan Aid Project has dedicated itself to preserving Tibetan culture — especially through the distribution of sacred texts, art, and prayer wheels to Tibetan exile communities across the Himalayan region. ([tibetanaidproject.org](https://www.tibetanaidproject.org/?utm_source=chatgpt.com "Tibetan Aid Project – Preserving Tibetan Culture"))
Over decades, TAP has distributed nearly **six million traditional texts**, supporting education, literacy, and cultural continuity for monks, nuns, and laypeople alike.
Taste & Tribute serves as their primary annual fundraiser — helping ensure that this vital work continues.
## 🤝 Why We’re Proud to Support This Event
Our roots with this community run deep. In fact, Jack’s relationship with TAP and related Buddhist-centered initiatives stretches back more than **10 years** — a decade marked by collaboration, shared values, and a mutual dedication to service.
Supporting Taste & Tribute through the lens of Orange Photography isn’t just about capturing images or video — it’s about uplifting voices, archiving teachings, and ensuring that the lineage, culture, and community stories of today are preserved for tomorrow. This aligns perfectly with the mission of our **Beyond the Cushion** project, which seeks to document and celebrate lived experiences of Buddhist practitioners, lineage holders, and communities across the country.
By sponsoring the video coverage for Taste & Tribute 2025, we hope to contribute meaningfully to TAP’s efforts — helping raise awareness, deepen connection, and support the preservation of Tibetan wisdom and heritage at a pivotal time.
## 🎬 What’s Next
We look forward to capturing this year’s Taste & Tribute — the ambience, the people, the energy, and the generosity — and sharing event highlights with all of you. If your nonprofit, Dharma-centered community, or cultural-heritage project is seeking photography or video support for an upcoming event, [we’d love to explore how we can help amplify](https://orangephotography.com/aboutus/givingback/) your mission and deepen your impact.
From all of us at Orange Photography — thank you for allowing us to carry forward this work together.

### [IMEX 2025](https://orangephotography.com/imex-2025/)
**Published:** October 8, 2025
**Author:** gene x
**Excerpt:** IMEX 2025 in Las Vegas during the economic downturn still showed a lot of promise and the future of driverless cars was also on showcase with Zoox offering free rides for beta testers!
**Content:**
 We’ve been aware of [IMEX](https://imexamerica.com/newfront) for years and have done work for them and at the show but for the first time we just went as an attendee this year to check things out. We ran into many event professionals we’ve worked with and saw many friends from [SF Travel](https://www.sftravel.com/), [Teneo](https://www.teneo.com/), [PRA](https://pra.com/) and other venues, DMCs and planners.
There was a lot of education going on as well as the hosted buyer program (which we couldn’t check out of course), and almost everywhere on earth was covered from South Africa, to Iceland to Korea to Ireland and of course North and South America.
Here’s a few snaps from around the show and as a bonus, [Zoox](https://zoox.com/) (shown at left) had just launched in Las Vegas so we took a couple rides in their autonomous vehicles which have been running all around San Francisco as well.

### [Maximizing Social Media Reach with AI-Powered Video Editing](https://orangephotography.com/maximizing-social-media-reach-with-ai-powered-video-editing/)
**Published:** July 28, 2025
**Author:** jack
**Excerpt:** In today’s digital landscape, short-form video content is king. Platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts have revolutionized content consumption, favoring bite-sized, engaging videos that capture attention in just a few seconds. If you’re sitting on a library of long-form videos—whether they’re webinars, podcasts, or full-length interviews—you might be wondering how to make them work in a world that thrives on brevity. The answer? AI-powered video editing.

In today’s digital landscape, short-form video content is king. Platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts have revolutionized content consumption, favoring bite-sized, engaging videos that capture attention in just a few seconds. If you’re sitting on a library of long-form videos—whether they’re webinars, podcasts, or full-length interviews—you might be wondering how to make them work in a world that thrives on brevity. The answer? AI-powered video editing.
### Why Convert Long-Form Videos into Short Reels?
1. **Increased Engagement** – Studies show that short videos receive higher engagement rates as users prefer quick, digestible content.
2. **Wider Reach** – Platforms actively promote short-form videos, giving them greater visibility in algorithms.
3. **Content Repurposing** – Instead of creating new content from scratch, AI tools allow you to extract key moments from existing videos.
4. **Efficient Workflow** – AI automates the editing process, saving time and effort while maintaining high-quality production.
### How AI Video Editing Works
AI-powered video editing tools use machine learning and automation to analyze long videos and identify the most engaging moments. These tools employ techniques such as:
- **Speech and Sentiment Analysis** – Identifies moments with high emotional impact or strong messaging.
- **Facial Recognition** – Detects expressions and reactions to enhance storytelling.
- **Keyword and Subtitle Extraction** – Pinpoints key phrases to create impactful soundbites.
- **Auto-Cutting & Scene Detection** – Removes unnecessary pauses and transitions to ensure seamless short clips.
- **Dynamic Captioning & Effects** – Enhances visual appeal with auto-generated captions and stylish overlays.
### Best AI Tools for Video Editing
Several AI tools cater specifically to transforming long-form content into short, engaging reels. Here are a few top contenders:
- **Opus Clip** – Uses AI to find and cut the best moments from long-form content into shareable clips.
- **Descript** – Offers automatic transcription, easy editing, and AI-driven content suggestions.
- **Veed.io** – Provides AI-based trimming, subtitling, and social media optimization features.
- **Runway ML** – Uses advanced AI for video enhancement, including motion tracking and background removal.
### Tips for Maximizing AI-Edited Reels
1. **Prioritize High-Impact Moments** – Choose segments where emotions, insights, or humor are most evident.
2. **Keep It Under 60 Seconds** – Shorter videos perform best on social media.
3. **Use Captions & Overlays** – Many users watch videos without sound, so adding subtitles enhances engagement.
4. **Test Different Formats** – Experiment with square, vertical, and horizontal formats to see what works best for each platform.
5. **Optimize for Each Platform** – Tailor your content for TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts, or LinkedIn by following their best practices.
### The Future of AI in Video Editing
As AI continues to evolve, video editing will become even more intuitive and efficient. Features like voice cloning, AI-generated animations, and real-time video enhancements will further streamline content creation, allowing creators to focus more on storytelling rather than tedious editing tasks.
### Final Thoughts
Leveraging AI to convert long-form videos into short reels is a game-changer for content creators, businesses, and marketers. By automating the editing process, AI ensures that high-quality, engaging content reaches wider audiences with minimal effort. If you haven’t explored AI-powered video editing yet, now is the perfect time to embrace it and amplify your social media presence!

**Excerpt:** Having been in business for over two decades, our website has effectively showcased our work. However, it's been more than five years since we last made any significant updates.

Having been in business for over two decades, our website has effectively showcased our work. However, it’s been more than five years since we last made any significant updates. This past month, we undertook the task of revamping it. Given the evolution within our industry and our company structure, the old website felt dated, reflecting assets from a time when our team was much larger.
During the redesign process, our primary goal was to offer a clear pathway to our service offerings and their related portfolios. This website update marks the initiation of our internal efforts to enhance client service. As the competitive landscape continues to evolve, with advancements such as AI, we are planning projects for the upcoming year to:
1. Enhance feedback mechanisms for our talent and customer service.
2. Elevate the quality and creativity of our [headshot activations](https://orangephotography.com/headshots/headshot_booths/).
3. Emphasize the service levels provided by our [principal talent](https://orangephotography.com/aboutus/talent/).
4. Better showcase technologies to improve guest experience such as [facial recognition delivery ](https://orangephotography.com/services/facial-recognition/)
These initiatives reflect our commitment to adapt to industry changes and provide exceptional service to our clients.
# Notable Conference Projects 2023
We were engaged in a lot of great projects in 2023 and with the volume of work we did, we weren’t able to spend me time highlighting them last year. It’s better late than never to showcase these projects as we continue to improve our service offerings to be a stronger partner for our clients. As part of commitment to deliver innovative solutions for our conference clients, we’re excited to highlight our [real time delivery and approval platform](https://orangephotography.com/events/realtimedelivery/).

### [Andre is an Idiot - Go get a colonoscopy!](https://orangephotography.com/andre-is-an-idiot-sf-roxie/)
**Published:** March 17, 2026
**Author:** gene x
**Excerpt:** Andre is an Idiot - watch the documentary by our old neighbor Tony Benna, and then go get a colonoscopy!
**Content:**
Our friend Tony Benna last year brought his film, [*Andre is an Idiot*](https://andre.ajointventure.com/) to [Sundance](https://festival.sundance.org/) where it won multiple awards including the Audience Award! Last week the film had it’s San Francisco premiere at [The Roxie](https://roxie.com/) and we were on hand to check it out.
Esquire nailed it when they said ‘[The Best Comedy of the Year Is a Documentary About Death.](https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/movies/a70620903/andre-is-an-idiot-review/)‘ Now the subject of the film, André Ricciard, is a whirlwind of energy and humor and while he is dying of colon cancer, the journey is enlightening and touches on so many realities that we can all relate to. The big takeaway the film wants you to have is to get a colonoscopy and there are funny scenes in the film about working with [Mekanism](https://www.mekanism.com/), the agency where Ricciardi worked (and Benna and others too) putting together creative treatments for a campaign to raise awareness about colon cancer screenings.
Now our relation to Tony was through our very first employee ever, [Traci Griffin](https://www.instagram.com/tracigriffin/). We were working out of our Victorian flat on Natoma Street in SOMA when Tony was living next door. Traci and Tony dated back then and eventually married and left San Francisco. Even back then Tony was working on films and video and had also shown us his stop motion work, which is showcased in the film. Other friends from the time including Ethan Indorf worked with him on the documentary and the entire crew was close knit which makes the film footage feel even more genuine. 
You might think that a documentary about someone dying of colon cancer might be a bit heavy, but the humor in the film really shines through and they don’t ignore the real questions and emotional impact. At The Roxie premiere we were fortunate to have so many involved in the film on hand as there was a Q&A afterwards and we got to hear from André’s wife, one of his daughters, his “Ass Doctor” at UCSF and his death yell coach and many others.
[Check out the film](https://andreisanidiot.film/tickets) as it is still showing in theaters in many metros and I guarantee you’ll have a good time. Watch it in a theater, cry, and then go get a colonoscopy with your BFF!

### [Another amazing year in event, conference, convention and incentive program photography](https://orangephotography.com/another-amazing-year-in-event-conference-convention-and-incentive-program-photography/)
**Published:** December 22, 2025
**Author:** gene x
**Excerpt:** 2025 was a fantastic year for us, and we're thankful for all our clients, planners, venues and our creative team from all over the US. We're also thankful for the analog - whether it's light or film!
**Content:**
As 2025 comes to a close and we wrap up our last shoots for the year we’re super thankful for all our of clients, planners, partners and our team of event photographers, videographers, editors and techs! Reflecting back on a year that had so many dynamic things happening in the world at large, we feel fortunate to have had a great and steady year in spite of that. And 2026 is already looking fantastic with the Super Bowl returning to the Bay Area and many activations, parties and the event itself bringing lots of work like we had when Super Bowl 50 was in town. That was the first Super Bowl we did photography for and are excited to be doing more photography, video projects and activations for [Super Bowl LX](https://www.nfl.com/super-bowl/)!
One of our last shoots this year was in Las Vegas where we shoot quite a lot of user conferences, SKOs, MKOs, conventions and more. Tons of headshot activations and headshot booths too and while almost everything we shoot is digital, we do appreciate analog as well. In fact, when we first started Orange, we shot several jobs on both film and digital since in 2001, many weren’t yet comfortable with digital. This year we saw AI take off in all aspects (I mean, was there a conference where you didn’t hear AI discussed?) but we still appreciate the beauty of analog whether it’s in lighting or on the camera side of things.
In Las Vegas in particular, the beauty of analog light is something iconic with all of the neon and there’s even [The Neon Museum](https://neonmuseum.org/) which is a fantastic place to visit and shoot at and as a rental location too! Currently digital and LED lighting is also quite impressive as it gives event designers more flexibility and options with low powered and bright lighting, but we still do love the warmth and tone of analog light and analog processes. Here in Las Vegas, there’s a couple – Victoria & Stephen – who have been maintaining, restoring and putting analog photo booths out around town. We’ve done both analog and digital photo booths for years, but there’s something about a dip-and-dunk analog photo booth that is magical! Our clients have even hired us to do Polaroids at events which offers an elevated analog experience that is truly unique.
And it’s cool that analog experiences are growing in popularity all over, not just in the events world. There are [photo booth museums](https://www.photomatica.com/photo-booth-museum/) in Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York City that we know of – and maybe even more around the world. Young people in particular are often seen lining up to take analog photos and we love that too. There’s even a [website that tracks where analog photo booths are located](https://www.photobooth.net/locations/).
After finishing up shooting on this Vegas trip we dropped by three of the open booths in town (there’s actually five spots, all run by Victoria & Stephen of [Vintage Vegas Photobooth](https://www.instagram.com/vintagevegasphotobooth)). One of the locations was undergoing maintenance but is now up and the final spot is part of the [Sure Thing Wedding Chapel](https://www.surethingchapel.com/) and not open to the public aside from when weddings are happening there.
To the left you can see the one at the Cosmopolitan which is one of the most recently placed booths and the first one on the strip! We were excited that there’s an analog booth on the strip since it gets the most traffic. As you can see here, a bride had just used it with her new groom and was checking on the print while another couple was figuring out what they wanted to do inside the booth. When things are analog, they’re more precious so they make you be more deliberate, which is a great practice overall, especially in our frantic world.
The funny thing is people still have short attention spans and while the booths have notes all over them saying that the process takes up to like five minutes, people still often forget to pick up their strips. The photo above shows many of the left strips and this happens all over.
Once in NYC, I left a strip and a technician there who knows me found it and now it’s part of the booth as one of the many orphaned strips that are often part of a booth’s decor.
So as we wrap up 2025 take a moment if you can, to enjoy something analog. Obviously you’re reading this on some device but if you’ve got an instant film camera lying around, pull it out and shoot some. The wait for the image will be worth it!

### [AI Transformation vs. AI Retouching: Elevating Guest Experiences in Photo Booths and Headshots](https://orangephotography.com/ai-transformation-vs-ai-retouching-elevating-guest-experiences-in-photo-booths-and-headshots/)
**Published:** November 14, 2025
**Author:** jack
**Excerpt:** The role of photography at events has always been more than documentation—it’s about creating memorable, shareable moments. With the rise of artificial intelligence, event planners and creative teams now have new ways to engage attendees. Two of the most exciting applications are AI transformations in photo booths and AI retouching in professional headshots. While both rely on similar technology, their purpose, execution, and impact are quite different.

With the rise of artificial intelligence, event planners and creative teams now have new ways to engage attendees. Two of the most exciting applications are **AI transformations in photo booths** and **AI retouching in professional headshots**. While both rely on similar technology, their purpose, execution, and impact are quite different.
## **AI Transformations in the Photo Booth Experience**
Imagine a guest stepping into a photo booth, taking a quick snapshot, and then instantly seeing themselves transformed—perhaps styled as a 1920s jazz icon, a futuristic cyberpunk character, or even a hand-painted work of art.
This type of AI transformation is all about **entertainment and surprise**. It brings an element of playfulness and customization to events, giving attendees a unique takeaway that goes beyond a simple keepsake photo. Because the results are often humorous, imaginative, or stylized, they naturally encourage **social sharing**. That means your event’s brand reaches far beyond the venue.
For event planners, AI-powered photo booths are powerful because they:
- Spark guest interaction and laughter.
- Deliver instant, high-volume digital outputs.
- Create a branded, viral moment that extends event visibility online.
Here, the value lies in creativity, not realism.
## **“Professional” AI Transformations—When Fun Doesn’t Equal Fit**
Some platforms now offer so-called “professional” AI transformations—where a casual snapshot is instantly turned into a corporate-style headshot with a business suit, neutral background, and polished finish.
On paper, this sounds appealing: fast, inexpensive headshots without the need for a photo session. But in practice, these images often look **too artificial**. Clothing and backgrounds may appear generated, skin textures can look plastic, and subtle facial details sometimes get lost.
The result? Instead of projecting authenticity, these “professional” transformations can feel **fake and untrustworthy**—not the impression you want to make in a professional setting.
That’s why, for career-oriented uses like LinkedIn, company websites, or conference speaker bios, these AI-generated “professional” transformations may not be the best choice. They’re better suited as novelties rather than genuine professional assets.
## **AI Retouching in Headshot Experiences**
By contrast, AI retouching is designed to **enhance professionalism and polish without compromising authenticity**. When offering headshot stations at conferences, corporate events, or networking receptions, guests want a result that feels natural yet elevated.
AI retouching works behind the scenes to adjust lighting, smooth skin tones, balance color, and refine details—all while keeping the person’s true appearance intact. Unlike transformations, the goal isn’t to reinvent the subject but to present the best version of themselves.
For professionals, this means:
- Faster turnaround without compromising quality.
- A consistent look across hundreds of headshots.
- Confidence that their image represents them well.
Here, the impact is subtle but lasting. Instead of novelty, guests walk away with a **career-enhancing asset** they’ll actually use.
## **The Key Difference: Play vs. Polish**
While both AI transformations and retouching leverage cutting-edge technology, their purpose at events couldn’t be more different. AI transformations—whether playful or “professional”—offer instant fun and experimentation but often lack realism. AI retouching, on the other hand, is about **credibility, trust, and long-term value**.
Together, they highlight the versatility of AI in photography: it can generate laughter at a gala, or deliver confidence in the boardroom. The key is knowing when to use each.
## AI Photography Experiences: Comparison at a Glance

**Author:** jack
**Excerpt:** In 2024, Orange Photography had the honor of working on several exciting video projects that brought unique events to life through dynamic storytelling. We documented Radicle Growth Venture Capital's Radicle Challenge Summit in San Francisco, focusing on groundbreaking innovations in the corn industry. At the Presidio Bay Foundation's annual fundraiser, themed "What Do You Love About San Francisco," we captured the evening's energy and heartfelt celebrations at the iconic St. Joseph’s Art Society.

# Radicle Growth
We had the privilege of collaborating with [Radicle Growth Venture Capital](https://www.radicle.vc/challenge) in the past, and we are excited to once again partner with them to document their 2024 Radicle Challenge Summit in the vibrant city of San Francisco. This year, the Challenge shines a spotlight on innovation within the corn industry, bringing together leaders and visionaries to tackle key advancements and challenges in this vital sector. We are proud to showcase the impactful work we’ve created for Radicle Growth and look forward to capturing the inspiring moments and stories from this year’s event. Great job [Daniel](https://orangephotography.com/portfolio-items/daniel/) on the project.
# Presidio Bay Foundation
The [Presidio Bay Foundation](https://presidiobay.com/givingback/presidio-bay-foundation/) recently held its much-anticipated annual fundraiser, themed “What Do You Love About San Francisco.” Against the backdrop of the challenges the city has faced in recent years, the event planners sought to create a heartfelt celebration of San Francisco—a city known for its resilience, creativity, and undeniable charm. The evening served as a reminder of the qualities that make this iconic American city so unique and cherished.
The event took place at the stunning [St. Joseph’s Art Society](https://saintjosephsartssociety.com/saint-josephs-arts-society), a venue renowned for its striking architecture and timeless elegance. Its soaring ceilings, intricate details, and artistic ambiance provided the perfect setting for an evening filled with inspiration and civic pride. The space was transformed with thoughtful decor and vibrant touches that celebrated the spirit of San Francisco, from its historic landmarks to its dynamic cultural scene.
Our team was honored to capture the energy and essence of this extraordinary evening. From the welcoming smiles of attendees to the beautifully designed spaces and heartfelt moments, every detail was a testament to the passion and dedication of the organizers. The event featured engaging speakers, exquisite cuisine, and an electric atmosphere that brought the community together to celebrate the city they love.
This fundraiser wasn’t just a gathering—it was a celebration of San Francisco’s enduring legacy and a call to action for its bright future. It was a privilege to be part of such a meaningful event and to highlight the passion and creativity that went into making it unforgettable. Thank you to the Presidio Bay Foundation for trusting us to document this special occasion and for continuing to shine a light on the many reasons to love San Francisco.
# Dartmouth College
[Dartmouth College](https://home.dartmouth.edu/) recently hosted a memorable alumni reunion at the stunning [Julia Morgan Ballroom](https://juliamorganballroom.com/), and we were thrilled to have the opportunity to document this beautifully designed event. From the moment guests arrived, the elegant ambiance of the venue set the tone for an evening filled with nostalgia, celebration, and connection.
The event featured an impressive lineup of motivational speakers who took the stage to honor Dartmouth’s illustrious alumni. Their speeches reflected on the university’s rich legacy, celebrated the achievements of its graduates, and inspired the audience to continue making a difference in their respective fields. It was a heartfelt tribute to the power of education, community, and lifelong learning.
Guests were treated to a culinary experience that matched the sophistication of the occasion, with fine food and beverages that added a touch of indulgence to the evening. Beyond the formal program, the reunion offered a vibrant networking opportunity for attendees to reconnect with old friends, forge new connections, and reminisce about their shared Dartmouth experiences.
Capturing the essence of this event was an absolute privilege. From the heartfelt interactions and celebratory toasts to the elegant details of the venue, every moment showcased the deep sense of pride and community that makes Dartmouth alumni gatherings so special.
We extend our thanks to Dartmouth for allowing us to be part of such a meaningful occasion, and we look forward to documenting more moments that bring their vibrant alumni community together. Kudos to our associate, [Daniel](https://orangephotography.com/portfolio-items/daniel/) for doing a great job.
# Ethos Event Collective
We have the privilege of working with many talented event planners, and we are always deeply grateful for their partnership and trust in our work. Event planners are the masterminds behind seamless and unforgettable experiences, yet so often their hard work remains behind the scenes, with little recognition in highlight reels that tend to focus solely on attendees or key moments.
That’s why it was such an exciting opportunity to collaborate with [Ethos Event Collective](https://www.ethoseventcollective.com/) on a truly unique project at the iconic [San Francisco City Hall](https://www.sfcityhallevents.org/). This project was all about celebrating the planners’ craft by capturing the intricate details, thoughtful design, and vibrant energy they infused into the event. From the breathtaking decor and lighting to the flow of the evening, every element showcased the artistry and meticulous planning that goes into creating an unforgettable experience.
We loved working on this project because it gave us a chance to tell the story of the event from the planner’s perspective—shining a spotlight on their creativity, dedication, and expertise. It’s always rewarding to capture the essence of an event, but this project felt especially meaningful as we celebrated the unsung heroes who bring these visions to life.
Thank you to Ethos Event Collective for trusting us with this unique and inspiring project! Another great project by [Daniel](https://orangephotography.com/portfolio-items/daniel/).

### [2024 Orange Photography Event Photography Roundup](https://orangephotography.com/2024-orange-photography-event-photography-roundup/)
**Published:** December 23, 2024
**Author:** gene x
**Excerpt:** 2024 Event Photography Roundup from the Orange Photography team
**Content:**
2024 was quite the whirlwind with one of our busiest years ever! Like many in the events industry there were so many amazing events we were a part of that we can’t speak about featuring Presidents, other world leaders and so many celebrities but some of the ones we can talk about include our local industry favorite educational event, [MPINCC ACE](https://www.mpi.org/chapters/northern-california/education-events/event/2024/03/05/default-calendar/mpincc-ace-24) which was held at [Convene](https://convene.com/locations/san-francisco/100-stockton/), a wonderful new events space downtown! It was great to check out this new, flexible space which offers plenty of natural light (something us event photographers really love) as well as a variety of spaces from the intimate tothe grand. The layout of the space is fantastic and being right near Union Square makes it a very convenient space to use as an extension to any large conferences at Moscone or just as a stand alone event space. Definitely a nice venue added into the mix of great spots we have here in San Francisco.
Another fun shoot we had was for [*Shōgun*](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAN5uspO_hk), the American historical drama based on the 1975 novel by James Clavell. We didn’t realize the show was being made and of course it earned multiple Emmys so it was fun to be involved with a promotional event for it as it launched and gained critical acclaim, checking out the show before it broke! We shot some promotional images for it for a special event they had around the country with one of the spots being here in the Bay Area in Palo Alto at [Nobu](https://noburestaurants.com/paloalto/home).
We also photograph a lot of activations and other marketing events. This year we did something for [DirecTV](https://www.directv.com/insider/directv-launches-nothing-on-your-roof-with-george-kittle/) for the [Nothing on the Roof campaign](https://lbbonline.com/news/directv-and-george-kittle-give-fans-a-taste-of-the-footbald-lifestyle) which featured San Francisco 49er George Kittle. As the [49ers](https://www.49ers.com/) are our local team, it was fun to work with the brand to bring the campaign to San Francisco and to the games where the activation was present at Levi’s Stadium. Legendary Hall of Fame wide receiver Jerry Rice was on hand as well as Frank Gore and other 49ers legends and the fan atmosphere was great!
For the past two years we’ve been the official photographers for [TED AI](https://tedai-sanfrancisco.ted.com/) and it’s been fun to work with the TED team again on these. Living in San Francisco, and probably everywhere else too, you really can’t avoid hearing about AI. So many of the billboards in SF and along the 101 towards Silicon Valley feature AI startups so photographing TED talks about AI from some of the top thinkers in the world is pretty interesting. Even as event photographers we are affected by AI. Mostly so far in a positive manner in that the tools we use to edit (and to some extent cull) are improved with AI-based intelligence. However, the photography industry has also been affected negatively by AI as several individuals we personally know have been laid off of their jobs as retouchers or commercial photographers. Event photographers haven’t been impacted as negatively nor the events industry as a whole, but AI is something that will touch all of us in various ways.
We also worked with [San Francisco Design Week](https://sfdesignweek.org/) for the first [Design Palo Alto](https://designbayarea.org/design-palo-alto-october-25-27-2024/) which took place around Silicon Valley. The events focused on Interiors, Architecture, Landscape, Lighting and Art and as such was really fun to photograph. Whenever you get to shoot at an Eichler home it makes creating beautiful images even easier!
We also shot for new non-profits like Haiti Partners and the [Duke Lemur Center](https://lemur.duke.edu/) [this year](https://orangephotography.com/non-profit-showcase-duke-lemur-center/) too (as well as [First Exposures](https://www.firstexposures.org/), whom we’ve been working with for years!). For Haiti Partners we photographed their annual [Stronger Together Haiti Scholarship Benefit](https://haitipartners.org/stronger-together-2024/) which helps Haitians change Haiti through education and it’s always great to be a part of an event which supports such worth causes. As event photographers we often get to see and be a part of all kinds of events and supporting non-profits in reaching their goals is always something that we feel great about and seeing our images used to promote and raise funds for these organizations is quite rewarding. At the end of the year, many of these organizations are looking to round out their funding goals and if we can help that happen through our photography we feel like we’ve been able to help in a real sense. So if you’re looking for a local non-profit to support here in the Bay Area, [here’s a link to support First Exposures](https://firstexposures.networkforgood.com/projects/54080-general-donation) who recently held their Envision event where they were able to [create portraits for 100 groups, serving at least 400 PEOPLE](https://www.instagram.com/p/DDSrqTxzJju/) (and pets 🐰🐾), creating lasting memories for everyone involved.

### [How to Make Effective Videos for Event Planners & Marketers - Tips and Techniques](https://orangephotography.com/how-to-make-effective-videos-for-event-planners-marketers-tips-and-techniques/)
**Published:** February 29, 2024
**Author:** jack
**Excerpt:** In this article we dive deeper into how to make effective videos that lead to more engagement and the specific techniques you can use in your next video project.
**Content:**
\[layerslider id=”52″ /\]
In an earlier post we discussed the [power of video marketing and why you should implement it in your next campaign](https://orangephotography.com/tech-trends-emergence-of-video-marketing-and-why-it-has-become-so-powerful/). But now that we know how powerful it is, what are some of the features used in videos that make them so effective?
In this article we dive deeper into how to make effective videos that lead to more engagement and the specific techniques you can use in your next video project.
Let’s get started!
## **Logistics**
First of all, let’s go over some logistical details to keep in mind when you’re creating your video.
## Length
If you’re wondering what should be the ideal length of your video, you need to consider the behavior of your audiences. Although viewers prefer video content to text-based content, it doesn’t mean they want to spend more time watching videos. Attention spans are **very low** so it’s important to get your message across as quickly and in the most engaging way as possible. Here are the ideal video lengths are according to [Hubspot](https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/how-long-should-videos-be-on-instagram-twitter-facebook-youtube):
- Instagram: 30 seconds
- Twitter: 45 seconds
- Facebook: 1 minute
- YouTube: 2 minutes
## Captions
Since most people like to view content on their mobile as that’s where they spend most of their screen time, video producers and marketers need to plan for this and tailor their videos so it’s easier to consume. This is why captions are so important! Especially if there are people speaking in the video, but also if you just want to give context on what’s going on in the video and make it accessible for all types of users. Imagine someone watching a video on your landing page via their phone, but they can’t listen to the audio because they’re in an unwelcome setting. They can mute the audio and stay on your landing page because they’re still engaged with the captions.
## SEO
This is absolutely key to getting your videos and their corresponding landing pages more visibility on search engines. Make sure your video is optimized for SEO (Search Engine Optimization) by including the right keywords, meta-descriptions, and a strong title.
## Placement on Webpage
This may sound trivial, but there are a lot of studies out there around user experience designed to improve video effectiveness. One of which outlines the placement of your video on your landing page or webpage. Several of them say that videos should be placed higher on the page to get more plays. Makes sense right? The higher it is, the more visibility they will get and it’s less likely that they will get lost on the page’s other content because people just won’t find them.
## Video Dimensions
Adding to the list of surprising information, the dimensions of a video are also a factor in play rates and conversions. According to [Wistia](https://wistia.com/), videos with a width between 401px to 600px (pixels) and a height between 301px-450px are the most successful in getting play rates. The reasoning behind this is that you don’t want the video to be so big that it overwhelms the screen, but not too small that it appears unattractive to click.
## Where to Place Your Videos
Much of this goes without saying as there are many platforms you can place your video, but where is it most effective?
Research has shown that adding a video to your **landing page** can increase conversions by 80%! That’s incredibly effective, right? But if the user can understand the product better (via a video), wouldn’t they be more likely to move forward with a purchase?
Moreover, adding videos to an **email campaign** is also a common technique used to increase engagement – introductory emails with videos lead to an increased click-thru rate of up to 96%!
And as always, remember to post videos to your **social media** as it’s one of the best ways to increase engagement with your audience. Rack up those views and likes as your reach extends even further!
## Video Content
Now that we’ve gone over some logistical tips, we can dive into what to actually include in your video content to increase its effectiveness. Of course, these tips are situational and may vary in terms of their application. But they can be very powerful if used correctly.
Here are some of the key factors to include in your video’s script:
- Come up with an eye-catching opening line to attract the viewer’s attention. Include a hook near the beginning that states the purpose of the video because the viewer is not guaranteed to stick around.
- Use social proof to back up the claims in your video. This can be in the form of written testimonials, use cases/examples, or just showing people talking about the event/organization.
- This should go without saying, but show a close-up of the event with clips so viewers can actually see it in action. This gives people a glimpse into the event and how fun and appealing it is.
- One of the most crucial elements of a video is to show the benefits people can get out of the event. Convince them by offering something of value instead of trying to sell them something.
**Stylistic Elements**
Be authentic! The idea here is to give a real look inside what you’re offering so viewers can be educated and know what they’re potentially getting out of it. This helps them make decisions with less doubts in their head as they’re evaluating you. So make sure your genuine message is communicated in the video.
If there’s narration or dialogue in your video, try to present it in conversational form as opposed to reading as if it’s long text off a blog. Short and focused is best.
All of these tips encourage you to be authentic because viewers will connect with that! If you’re trying too hard to sell something it will just come across as artificial and disingenuous.

### [Non-Profit Showcase: Duke Lemur Center](https://orangephotography.com/non-profit-showcase-duke-lemur-center/)
**Published:** July 23, 2024
**Author:** gene x
**Excerpt:** Ever since I was young, I was fascinated with lemurs and years ago learned about the Duke University Primate Center (as it was then called). The facility was founded in 1966 on the campus of Duke University in Durham, NC. As they state on their website, "the Duke Lemur Center (DLC) is a world leader in the study, care, and protection of lemurs—Earth’s most threatened group of mammals. With more than 200 animals across 14 species, the DLC houses the world’s most diverse population of lemurs outside their native Madagascar.

With more than 200 animals across 14 species, the DLC houses the world’s most diverse population of lemurs outside their native Madagascar.” 
One of the first organizations I ever donated to as a ‘grown-up’ was the DLC and I adopted a ring-tailed lemur as part of their [“Adopt-a-Lemur” program](https://lemur.duke.edu/donate/adopt/). I was sent material including a photograph of the lemur I adopted which the funds were used to help feed and care of the lemur. I was really excited to have done this even though at the time, for me, it was a stretch to send the funds. But I had been enthralled by lemurs from a young age and it was a cool way to support them. My best friend from high school also went to Duke, and I remember visiting him there and enjoying Durham and the campus so everything just lined up.
It took until this year for me to finally visit though and I took the [Walking with Lemurs tour](https://lemur.duke.edu/engage/onsite-tours/wwl/), which was really fantastic! In the past few years after Covid hit I had been researching actually visiting and was trying to line something up that coincided with a work shoot around the area but the closest shoots were either in New York City or Orlando so I decided to just book things and do it and was so happy that I did.
The DPC is a non-profit that does work that I support and I had only otherwise seen lemurs in zoos like locally here at the [San Francisco Zoo](https://www.sfzoo.org/). Taking the Walking With Lemurs tour is so great because you are taken on the tour by guides who detail not only the work the DPC is doing in lemur conservation and research, but you get to see lemurs up close and I mean that literally. The guides tell you to watch out and get out of the way of the lemurs as they may come right by you and that’s exactly what happened several times on our tour.
There were about eight or nine of us in our group (and there was another group with a separate guide with a similar number of guests) and we swapped enclosures with them to see different lemurs. First off we saw some ring tailed lemurs which were the ones that I first fell in love with and then we saw sifakas which are my new favorites. They all were just living their best lives on the property eating, resting and modeling for us (as you can see below!). *\[[check out this Instagram post from DLC](https://www.instagram.com/p/C9xUZSGzuYP) with some details and featuring some of our shots\]*
If you are interested in lemurs or animal conservation, DPC is one of the best organizations you can support ([donate here!](https://lemur.duke.edu/donate/)) – all the funds from the [ticket sales of the tours](https://lemur.duke.edu/engage/tours/) goes back into the care and conservation of lemurs so it’s a win win all around. If you are in the Durham area of North Carolina, definitely make a visit – it’s a really unique, fun and educational way to learn more about these endangered primates and a rare opportunity to see them in person up close and personal!

Orange had the opportunity to follow the crew at eBay as they got ready and marched in San Francisco’s 2019 PRIDE Parade.
As our video department is ramping up, it’s great to get projects that capture employees celebrating their company culture with fun, team-wide events and in this case, while also supporting a great cause.
We at Orange join eBay in supporting the LGBTQ+ community and their commitment to being inclusive by celebrating their diversity of employees and users.
Ebay’s theme for this year’s Pride was “Do Something Brave”, in honor of the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots. You can read more about their mission on their website:

As part of my project to find subjects that practice Buddhism, I embarked on a six week tour of the northwest part of the US. Naturally, part of my motivation is to visit national parks along the way and my first two stops where [Badlands](https://www.nps.gov/badl/index.htm) and [Yellowstone](https://www.nps.gov/yell/index.htm). Given that the trip started in mid April and there was a late winter season in Yellowstone, I wasn’t able to do much hiking there. I am slowly amassing a decent collection of landscape photos from my journeys and at some point, I would like to make them available for purchase as prints. For now, you can enjoy more images from [Yellowstone](https://jbh.orangephotography.com/yosemite/) or [Badlands](https://jbh.orangephotography.com/badlands/) on my personal site.

### [Beyond the Office](https://orangephotography.com/beyond/)
**Published:** July 22, 2019
**Author:** jack
**Excerpt:** During our transition to being a virtual company, I took the opportunity to reexamine my own situation after being in the Bay Area for over 25 years. I had been considering relocating outside the Bay Area for some time but finding a mutually agreeable place with my ex hadn't been easy. Regardless, I decided to take a leap of faith and agreed to letting her move back to Michigan with my daughter for the next year. Since I wasn't quite ready to move to Michigan yet, I thought it would be a good time to become a 'digital nomad' and work on road.

During our transition to being a virtual company, I took the opportunity to reexamine my own situation after being in the Bay Area for over 25 years. I had been considering relocating outside the Bay Area for some time but finding a mutually agreeable place with my ex hadn’t been easy. Regardless, I decided to take a leap of faith and agreed to letting her move back to Michigan with my daughter for the next year. Since I wasn’t quite ready to move to Michigan yet, I thought it would be a good time to become a ‘digital nomad’ and work on road.
Specifically, after 20 years of focusing on building the business to a sustainable entity with a roster of awesome corporate clients, I felt like it was time for me to shift my attention to working on my own creative project and giving back more. It’s become apparent to me that financial success alone will not fulfill my soul purpose and that I needed to pivot my life patterns in order to benefits others more through different channels. As I think about how to incorporate more engagement with nonprofits through the business, I am very excited to shift more of my attention to a [multimedia project currently titled ‘Beyond the Cushion’](http://beyondthecushion.com/).
Over the course of the next year, I will be on the road throughout the United States photographing subjects that have embraced the Buddhist path and to document how their practices manifest in today’s Western culture. As a practitioner myself for many years, the journey and challenges of this path as ‘mindfulness’ becomes more mainstream, I hope to share the diversity and power of the practice to address many of the challenges that we face as individuals/society in this modern world.

### [Southwest Highlights](https://orangephotography.com/southwest-highlights/)
**Published:** June 25, 2021
**Author:** jack
**Excerpt:** The second segment of my epic road trip was in the Southwest and even though it was in the winter months, the weather was great during that time of the year. The great thing about the arid southwest is that things don't look that different compared to the summer. Undoubtedly my two favorite cities during this segment was Sedona and Santa Fe for different reasons. Like Bend OR, Sedona is a bit of any outdoor lover's dream with the vast array of things you can do almost year around. Meanwhile, Santa Fe had the hippie eclectic charm and spiritual energy that made me feel right at home. No doubt, I will spend more time in this part of the west in the future.

### [Jack launches a new portfolio website](https://orangephotography.com/jack-launches-a-new-portfolio-website/)
**Published:** June 18, 2021
**Author:** jack
**Excerpt:** As a silver lining of the great pandemic of 2020, I took some time (actually a lot of time) to reflect on my body of work and put together some 'highlights' from the past 20 years of professional work.

As a silver lining of the great pandemic of 2020, I took some time (actually a lot of time) to reflect on my body of work and put together some ‘highlights’ from the past 20 years of professional work. Ironically, the bulk of what I’ve pull together is a very small percentage of the type of work that I normally do for our corporate clients. My 10 years of being a wedding photographer was entirely left out in my portfolio as well as hundreds of events/headshots I’ve done. Undoubtedly, the work that we do for our clients is probably one of the least glamourous disciplines in our industry but I am still proud of the level of execution and craft that we have brought to the industry. More importantly, the experience and great clients has a great foundation for the next chapter of my professional career. Without all the wonderful clients and photographers we have worked with in the past 20 years, I would still be stuck in California and not be able to participate in the great exodus. While it is too early to commit to a trajectory of Orange’s path coming out of the pandemic, it will surely be very different than the past years.
My intention for creating a [sperate portfolio website](https://jbh.orangephotography.com/) is to engage with different types of clients moving forward. Given that the bread and butter of my work will still be with Orange, I am looking forward to diversifying the type of work that engages me. Currently, I am still in the process of strengthening my video capturing and editing skill set and I am grateful for the time to pick up this skill set! None of my video work will be on the portfolio site for some time but you can see some of it on my[ long term project about Buddhism in the west](http://beyondthecushion.com/). Meanwhile, I finally got around to posting some of my favorite photos from my road trip into the [Pacific Northwest](https://jbh.orangephotography.com/pnw/) as well as [the Southwest](https://jbh.orangephotography.com/southwest/) of the US.

### [Life as a nomad](https://orangephotography.com/life-as-a-modern-day-nomad/)
**Published:** December 12, 2019
**Author:** jack
**Content:**
“The journey of fifty thousand miles starts with a good internet connection.”
I wish I could say I was disengaging from the “Matrix” on this pilgrimage in the west but the reality of the digital economy is a rather constant connection to the virtual world. And even though it was only really 3 short months, the experience somehow seem like a decade of experience. Whilst on this journey, I experienced so many peak moments in such a compressed time that that the decade time horizon seem plausible. There were numerous times that I pinch myself and was insanely grateful for being able to enjoy a ‘retirement’ lifestyle while still being at the top of my physical health. With the popularity of the lifestyle portrayed in social media, I have to admit that my journey has been pretty ‘ordinary’ as I find myself unable to ‘share’ the nitty gritty of such a lifestyle. Although I have visited some pretty amazing places, those destinations are just a by product of being on the road while working on my project. Which is to say, I didn’t feel the need to film all these amazing places and was pretty content with just being present and photographing here and there. The few times I found myself filming an experience felt a bit awkward in that I became too self conscious of the image that I was trying to shape. Anyway, I still wholeheartedly recommend a stint in the lifestyle if you can swing it but how the lifestyle is portrayed in social media should definitely be taken with a grain of salt. The power of the lifestyle really lies in disrupting our routines and showing what is possible when we are are not tethered down by the material burden. There are so many beautiful landscape in America and we are blessed with the ability to easily travel these places that it’s quite worth the inconveniences of life on the road.

### [Beyond the Cushion Update](https://orangephotography.com/beyond-the-cushion-update/)
**Published:** March 9, 2021
**Author:** jack
**Excerpt:** Highlight video montage of 3 month journey working on personal project about buddhism in the west.
**Content:**
Over the past year, in the midst of much emotional and financial stress during the pandemic, there was a silver lining in productivity on my personal project. The later part of 2019 and for the first 3 months of 2020, I was on the road working on my project while also visiting a number of wonderful national parks. Since orange had already gone virtual by the start of my trip, my ‘van life’ experience wasn’t exactly just hanging out at all these great national parks! Still, it was an amazing experience as i fondly recall the experience while putting together this montage.
At the start of the trip, I wasn’t planning on doing a lot of video around the journey so the video portion of the piece is a bit sparse but I did incorporate a few of my favorite subjects talking about their Buddhist experience. Although not exactly a highlight trailer for the project, I still had fun stitching together a quasi narrative from the interviews. Originally, I was planning on working with a video editor for my project but with minuscule paid work throughout 2020, I ended up editing all the interviews myself on the project. In hindsight, I am glad I had the time to edit the videos because it’s definitely going to help improve the next phase of my project. For now, enjoy the highlight video or [go to the project website](http://beyondthecushion.com/) to see how ‘Buddhism in the west’ is taking shape!

### [The Events Industry in the Age of the Coronavirus](https://orangephotography.com/the-events-industry-in-the-age-of-the-coronavirus/)
**Published:** March 16, 2020
**Author:** jack
**Excerpt:** As we’ve all seen, events have been cancelled at an alarming rate over concern of the virus spreading exponentially. Organizers have canceled SXSW, many other festivals such as Coachella have either canceled or postponed their events. Huge annual conferences have been shut down altogether like E3, Facebook’s F8, the Game Developers Conference, Google’s Cloud Next, and many more.

###### Elbow-touching has become a popular alternative to the usual handshake-greeting.
As we’ve all seen, events have been cancelled at an alarming rate over concern of the virus spreading exponentially. Organizers have [canceled SXSW](https://www.sxsw.com/2020-event-update/), many other festivals such as [Coachella have either canceled or postponed](https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/10/arts/music/coronavirus-coachella-postponed.html) their events. Huge annual conferences have been shut down altogether like E3, Facebook’s F8, the [Game Developers Conference](https://www.gdconf.com/), [Google’s Cloud Next](https://cloud.withgoogle.com/next/sf), and many more.
Many companies are requiring their employees work from home unless it’s absolutely essential for them to come in. And as we learned in our [recent article while attending the SF Travel Marketing Conference](https://orangephotography.com/coronavirus-international-prospects-and-optimism-highlight-the-sf-travel-marketing-conference/), the travel and hospitality industry is taking a big hit as well.
###### Experts speak on the current state of the San Francisco travel industry.
In spite of these alarming developments, many voices are **spreading hope and optimism to prevent unnecessary panic**. They’re encouraging everyone with tips and recommendations to stop the spread along with ideas and alternatives to facilitate daily functioning. These mainly include **social distancing – minimizing exposure to others who might be infected** – which has proven to be the best defense against the spread of the virus. This has ostensibly led to the canceling of any social gathering with the goal of slowing down the virus and to avoid the overburdening of a healthcare system that doesn’t have the infrastructure to handle the amount of cases it will have on its hands.
The hope is that this will “**[flatten the curve](https://www.forbes.com/sites/tarahaelle/2020/03/13/why-everything-is-closing-for-coronavirus-its-called-flattening-the-curve/#b9fa7866e2b1)**”, a term used to describe limiting the rate of infection and reducing a huge surge at once that exceeds the capacity of the healthcare system. In this scenario – which is what’s happening in Italy – more deaths are likely because there simply isn’t enough resources to care for everyone at once.
###### Slowing the rate of infection is critical to preventing a surge of outbreaks that can debilitate the healthcare system’s capacity to care for the sick.
## # How We’re Operating As A Company In Response
### Streaming as an alternative
Orange Photography has not been shielded from the multitude of conferences and events cancelling in the wake of the pandemic. As a result of the loss of demand and need for event coverage, we’re offering [streaming services](https://orangephotography.com/streaming-services) so organizations can still reach viewers and get their messages out, even if they won’t be able to hold face-to-face meetings with the audiences. With much of the world coming to a [complete lockdown](https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus/lockdowns-and-entry-bans-imposed-around-the-world-to-fight-coronavirus-idUSKBN21208S), a communications strategy is more important than ever. The uses for streaming can range everywhere from **meetings and trainings, live product launches, to broadcasting seminars or presentations**.
Instead of completely shutting down an event or conference, which likely took a lot of time and resources to prepare, streaming is a very useful option for organizations to put out important information and gives a more human experience that people prefer seeing over plain text. We can even provide **live streaming** where you can present in real time and **direct the live feed onto any social channels**. It’s also very easy to set up, without distracting and cumbersome cables that can stretch across rooms, all it requires is a tripod or surface to stand on and a line of sight the highlighted activity. In today’s technologically advanced world where audiences want to consume media and information on demand when they want and where they want, streaming and live video is a way for businesses can **expand their reach and the shelf life of their events**.
Companies like **Deloitte Global, Lululemon, Nasdaq, and Nikon Inc.** are already transitioning to live streaming. You can leverage the same technology for your needs as well and at a more moderate level.
[](https://orangephotography.com/streaming-services/) Loading...
- ## Streaming Services
### An Option Amid COVID-19 Concerns
As a company, we are doing our due diligence in preventing the spread by protecting our employees and associates with a newsletter that has information about the best practices if they are working. It has definitely helped that we have been a virtual company and our employees have been working remotely since the summer of last year (2019). We do not limit sick days and urging employees to stay home if they are not feeling well.
But the best way to ride out the virus is to follow the warnings of public health experts which encourage social distancing and constant hand-washing with soap. The more we eliminate ways the virus can be transmitted, the faster it can die out and things get back to normal.
## # How is the Events Industry Responding?
### Concern among health professionals
The pandemic no doubt has hit the events industry very hard. With all the cancellations, all planners and vendors will have a very hard time in the coming weeks until the situation gets under control. According to an MPI survey in mid-February, 34 percent of meetings professionals are extremely concerned about the effect coronavirus will have on the industry, while 56 percent are slightly concerned. Their main reasons for concern include attendee cancellations and lower attendance, travel disruptions, and speaker cancellations or difficulty in finding speakers. But the resulting effect is the huge financial loss from these factors.
###### Offices have emptied as employees are told to work from home.
### Transitioning to virtual as an alternative to public events
In terms of how the industry is developing, many organizations are looking for alternatives instead of canceling their events altogether. Some have considered [alternatives like virtual conferencing, webinars, and panel livestreams](https://www.wired.com/story/amid-coronavirus-fears-startups-rethink-virtual-conference/). Most notably, Google transitioned their largest annual conference, Google Cloud Next to Cloud Next: ’20: Digital Connect, to an online experience instead of canceling the whole event altogether.
[](https://orangephotography.com/streaming-services/)
###### Streaming has become a popular alternative to in-person events.
But there are obvious challenges with this format as explained by Xiaoyin Qu, the cofounder of a virtual conference startup called [Run the World](https://www.runtheworld.today/), she says the problem with most virtual alternatives is the inability to meet other people, which is usually the main draw of these types of events. But some of these virtual platforms are looking to solve this road block with features like speed dating-style interactions to meet other attendees.
Moving conferences online has its advantages: reducing travel costs, environmental pollution, and accessibility concerns, as well as moving the cost of in-person experiences to more valuable speakers, hyper-focused events, and lower admission prices. For many conferences, Qu says, “around 20 percent is spent on the venue, 20 percent on food and beverages, and almost 20 percent is on equipment.” Google’s online conference has itself stated: [“Innovation is in Google’s DNA and we are leveraging this strength to bring you an immersive and inspiring event this year without the risk of travel,”](https://cloud.withgoogle.com/next/sf) . And plans to webcast their keynotes along with having digital “ask the expert” sessions with Google teams.
As debilitating as this pandemic is, there is a learning opportunity since planners can now look for ways to **explore new platforms as an alternative to the typical event**, possibly innovating with more immersive experiences.

We’re so proud to have recently produced a video for [The Women’s Building](https://womensbuilding.org/) located in San Francisco! As a promotional video, it highlights the nonprofit organization’s presence in the community and the services they provide, especially for low-income women and their families.
As the first women-led community center, they’ve come a long way and are now an anchor institution in the area. The nonprofit seeks to empower women through many community services on issues such as: health, professional development and career building, financial planning, and more. One of the most notable resources they provide that may go unnoticed is how they assist with the language barriers that many women in the community face.
The Women’s Building (TWB), a community organization related to sex and gender-based methods, started out in 1971 when a group of visionary women founded San Francisco’s Women’s Centers to support growing Bay Area women’s projects. They emerged later as a nonprofit organization focused on addressing two of San Francisco’s most pressing issues: services and advocacy for the well-being of women and girls, and affordable space for nonprofits and community members.

Many in the community may recognize the organization by its landmark building in San Francisco’s Mission District. It’s incredible “[MaestraPeace Mural](https://www.maestrapeaceartworks.com/about)” reaches the entire five stories of the building and depicts “the power and contributions of women throughout history and the world”.

We’ve been supporters of the [First Exposures](https://www.firstexposures.org) program for a number of years and more recently have been doing video work for them as well as some of our team volunteering with them. Just under a month ago was the Looking Forward, Giving Back benefit at [SOMArts](https://www.somarts.org/) center. It’s always a really fun event where both the kids (mentees) and their mentors get to showcase their work in a gallery environment.
As we have in the past, we also provided a [photo booth setup](https://store.orangephotography.com/p360750712) and during the portion of the event when there are speeches and presentations, they had one of the mentees speak – this year it was Frida Calvo Huerta. Frida presented her experience and how she’s grown with First Exposures and was so well composed and articulate.
That was followed by a presentation of the video we produced for them and you can watch it above. We’re proud of this piece and it shows the power of the medium, but more importantly the power of First Exposures.
The purpose of Looking Forward, Giving Back is to raise funds for the program. The program has grown over the years from all the positive outcomes the kids in the program have had and if you’d like to support the program, [please donate](https://www.firstexposures.org/donate-to-first-exposures).

### [What's been happening in San Francisco Event Photography?](https://orangephotography.com/whats-been-happening-in-san-francisco-event-photography/)
**Published:** December 6, 2022
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
We always enjoy the fact that we get to experience so many different types of events and often get to see and do things we may otherwise have never gotten the chance to experience and this past season has been no different. Here’s a few of the more unique events we’ve had a chance to cover (and share with you all – many of the events we do are private so unfortunately we can’t give y’all peeks into those!).
[Envision at the DeYoung Museum for First Exposures and The Women’s Building](https://www.famsf.org/events/envision-community-portrait-day) – we’ve always been big fans of [First Exposures](https://www.firstexposures.org/) and in the past there was Help-Portrait but that doesn’t exist as it used to so now First Exposures, [The Women’s Building](https://womensbuilding.org/) and the [deYoung](https://www.famsf.org/visit/de-young) teamed up to create *Envision: Community Portrait Day* complete with pop-up portrait studios where families could come and take home a framed photo. Families from the Women’s Building were primarily photographed by mentees from First Exposures as well as others who attended based on availability. Since it was [San Francisco Free Museum Weekend](https://www.sffreemuseumweekend.com/) there were thousands of attendees on hand so it was quite the crazy day but fantastic to help give back to the community as a whole.
[Ballpark Back 9 @ Oracle Park](https://www.mlb.com/giants/ballpark/events/golf) – this was a super fun thing that the [San Francisco Giants](https://www.mlb.com/giants) hosted at Oracle Park transforming it into a nine hole golf course. We got to shoot the first night it was open for folks and it was quite a fun experience to be there but be able to go all over the park and hit balls onto the field. In total there were:
- 4,000+ golfers
- 100,000+ golf balls hit
- 5 days of activities
Definitely a hit and always fun to go to the Giants’ ballpark for the various other activities they host!

[Portola Festival](https://portolamusicfestival.com/) – a brand new festival that happened out at Pier 80, this was a really fun one to be at taking photos around the grounds. As a brand new festival at a new location it was great to be able to enjoy the sounds of great acts like [Flume](https://flumemusic.com/), [Bob Moses](https://www.bobmosesmusic.com/) and so many others. The weather was hot all day until the fog started to roll in as the sun set but the views at the pier were fantastic and there was tons of space for all the festival-goers. A really fun and different type of event for us to shoot at.

[League of Legends World Championship Finals](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/League_of_Legends_World_Championship) – for this one we worked with [HPE](https://www.hpe.com/us/en/home.html) who hosted local customers at the League of Legends World Championship Finals with the support of their partner [Evil Geniuses](https://evilgeniuses.gg/). Orange Photography captured the pre-event hospitality at Hotel Via before the sold-out finals at [Chase Center](https://www.chasecenter.com/)!

### [How Asset Management Can Make Your Life Easier](https://orangephotography.com/how-asset-management-can-make-your-life-easier/)
**Published:** July 14, 2020

## **What is Asset Management?**
If you work with a lot of media – videos, pictures, and content from events or your internal team – then you must have a large cache of media assets that you don’t know what to do with. Undoubtedly in today’s digital age, media has increasingly become a large part of our everyday experience. We consume and create photos, audio files, video clips, and text content. Though the opportunities for use has increased, the rise in digital media also creates challenges in navigating through all of these stored assets.
But there *is* a way you can leverage them to be useful and lasting while giving you the control to easily access them whenever you want. That solution is asset management, whose overall purpose is to control the ownership of your content, make that content easy to find, be able to share that content with others, and finally, track that usage.
Simply put, asset management helps your company monitor and manage your assets using a systemized approach. This is how it can make your life easier!
## Features and Benefits of Asset Management
With the effects of the digital boom, it’s advantageous to be able to organize the experience and consumption of digital media assets. And to be able to easily locate, categorize, and use them when and where you want and across multiple devices is an incredibly useful tool.
Whether the final function is to embed content into a video, share to social media, or write a blog post, the objectives are the same: to find content quickly and put it to use. Here are some of the wide-ranging benefits of asset management:
- Improves ROI
- Improves productivity, efficiency, and profitability
- Allows agencies to track the overall performance of their assets and easily access them when needed
- Improves time management
- Makes content accessible when and where you need it
- Reduces burden on searching for specific content
- Ability to collaborate across departments and users
- Powerful, quick searching across all stored items collected and managed in a single place
- Reduce costs and time by never having to recreate content
- Lower costs by centralizing all assets
## Potential Solutions
Normally finding a well-established system can be very costly, but there are other options.
For many large businesses that carry millions of stored items, a very extensive (and expensive) digital asset management (DAM) system is needed, as well as a digital asset manager in a dedicated role. These high-end, enterprise solutions include names like Adobe, Bynder, Widen, and more and can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to implement.
But for smaller companies that don’t have the budget or the need to store mountains of data, they may want to opt for a more low-maintenance solution.
The key difference is often the number of features and functionality provided, and how sophisticated the system is with respect to user-management and creative integration. For example, a mid-range solution will enable you to browse your assets and categorize them with metadata so they’re easy to find. But a high-end solution can also integrate video-editing tools into the file and customize them so the system is built around your existing processes and can be accessed or shared to your needs.
## What To Do Next
So how should you go about evaluating the different asset management options? First of all, **determine your budget**. It’s a waste of time to look at high-end options if you know you won’t be able to afford it.
Secondly, **understand what your needs are** and how you would want to use the asset management system. Is it just to organize all of your media? Do you want to be able to tag metadata onto it and integrate a specific workflow that streamlines how you share your content?
Use your objectives and requirements to **evaluate the options** and their prices ranges for these products. Your vendor can help you gather your requirements but it’s always better to know some of the key features that you’re looking for. Keep in mind that it takes time to find out the costs of the solutions you’re looking for so don’t expect the process to be quick and painless!
Here’s some other things to keep in mind if you’re thinking of integrating an asset management system into your business:
- The cost of some products can be surprisingly high
- Similar products will likely have surprisingly large differences
- To save yourself time, screen for price ranges in the beginning of your search
- It’s important to devote all your evaluation and comparison efforts on options that fit within those parameters you set

### [The Basics of Setting Up A Live Stream Presentation](https://orangephotography.com/the-basics-of-setting-up-a-live-stream-presentation/)
**Published:** June 30, 2020
**Author:** jack
**Excerpt:** With the world moving towards a more virtual, online presence, the capabilities to have an at-home production have come a long way. Live streaming used to be a very limited and complex process that often yielded low-quality results. Now it's become easier than ever, but understanding everything that goes into it can still be overwhelming. So we've decided to put together a guide for beginners that provides an overview of the set-up. Afterwards you'll have a better idea what you need to get started and whether it's better to have a professional help you out.

With the world moving towards a more virtual, online presence, the capabilities to have an at-home production have come a long way. Live streaming used to be a very limited and complex process that often yielded low-quality results. Now it’s become easier than ever, but understanding everything that goes into it can still be overwhelming. So we’ve decided to put together a guide for beginners that provides an overview of the set-up. Afterwards you’ll have a better idea what you need to get started and whether it’s better to have a professional help you out.
## Pre-Production
First ask yourself, what is the goal of the live stream? Everything else should be based around this in order to get the maximum effect from your production. Sometimes it’s better to just pull out your phone and start streaming to Facebook or Instagram live to get an intimate, active look into an activity. But other times a high-quality studio production is the better fit, especially if you’re presenting to a professional crowd and want to look the part. These questions are important to keep in mind when starting the process, so think of the effect you want your live stream to have on your audience.
## Production Set-Up: Lights, Camera, and Audio
At this stage, once you know the goal of your live stream, you want to assess the **level of production.** Is it just a talking head presentation? Are you mobile and will you be moving around? This in turn will give you more direction on other decisions down the line. Here is a list of the equipment you’ll want to decide on for your production:
- **Number of cameras and angles** – Decide if you want it to be interview style, have wide shots of space/environment, mobile shots in motion to capture the action, or have panning shots to cover multiple key individuals.
- **Mobile devices** – They’re so easy to use and set up nowadays. But it has its limitations: you’ll need good internet, likely an external microphone to capture good audio, and to mount it or keep a good line of sight on the subject.
- **Professional video cameras** – These cameras will provide high-quality feeds. Most modern DSLRs and Mirrorless cameras have excellent video capabilities that will suit your needs.
- **HDMI vs. SDI video outputs** – SDI is usually more professional because it uses cables that are locked into the inputs and won’t fall out, which is especially important when you need to move the camera a lot.
- **Internet** – If you want high quality feeds, you will need high speed internet so make sure you know the speed of your internet connection. There’s also the option of using a wired or wireless connection for your stream.
- **Audio** – You can use an on camera microphone like [RODE](https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1012003-REG/rode_videomic_go_videomic_go_on_camera_shotgun.html), or a detached microphone that connects to your camera or computer with a cable (USB or XLR).
- **Lights** – One of the most important aspects in production quality is to have adequate lighting on your subject. It makes a big difference when you see a video where the subject is clear and spotlighted versus one where they just blend into the background. It just makes it pop and appear more professional. We would typically use continuous light sources set up on a tripods.
## Streaming Software
We use software that can provide **titles,** **graphics, and overlays** in real time to give it a high-production feel. These production elements can certainly make your stream stand out more because it improves the viewer’s experience. But they do require a certain amount of manpower, so it’s not absolutely essential.
A [**video switcher**](https://www.boxcast.com/blog/the-best-live-video-switchers-mixers-for-beginners) for switching between cameras is also an option but requires you to purchase the software, which can get very expensive, and have a dedicated person managing the feeds.
## Broadcasting
So where exactly would you broadcast your live-stream?
To broadcast, you can use simple set-ups (if mobile) that stream directly on your preferred platform, but it can only be one platform at a time since that’s all the technology allows.
At Orange, we’re able to connect the stream to multiple outlets at once using established software. This is called **simulcasting** where you can [live stream to multiple destinations simultaneously](https://restream.io/blog/what-is-simulcasting-and-how-it-works/) and is a great way to grow your audiences and viewership. The main ones include social media networks like Facebook, Youtube, and Periscope. But they can also be posted on your website and Zoom. In this case, the video cameras must be plugged into a hub (computer or separate hardware) and accessed by the software for encoding the video files and distributing the content across multiple platforms.
## Managing Video Assets
Always remember to record your broadcasts because it can be very useful for the future. Recording them makes it [**evergreen**](https://zidivo.com/blog/turn-live-streams-into-evergreen-content/) and reusable so it increases the ROI. You can edit them to improve the quality, upload them to a host (your website or social outlets) for on-demand playback, or you can cut them up into little clips and use them in a social media campaign or promotional video.
**Storage and delivery** – At Orange, We store all of our video assets onto an **online cloud** so we can access them from anywhere. Finished versions are then uploaded and sent to clients via a direct link while also uploaded to [**Vimeo**](https://vimeo.com/) for clients to and any participants to see.
## Conclusion
So there you have it! This is just a basic overview of what goes into a live stream production. But if you want to get more into the details of the equipment and processes, feel free to [contact one of our specialists](https://orangephotography.com/contact/) and they can explain the process to you more clearly.

### [Secrets to Successful Headshot Station Activations](https://orangephotography.com/secrets-to-successful-headshot-station-activations/)
**Published:** March 16, 2023
**Author:** jack
**Excerpt:** We recently engaged in one of our biggest headshot activations for Workday's SKO. Over the course of three days, we had six headshot stations and photographed about 2300 people! In the past year since the pandemic has subsided, we've done a lot of headshot activations and there a number of factors that make it a successful activation for the booking client as well as the end user (the subjects getting the headshots).

We recently engaged in one of our biggest headshot activations for [Workday](https://www.workday.com/)‘s SKO. Over the course of three days, we had six headshot stations and photographed about 2300 people! In the past year since the pandemic has subsided, we’ve done a lot of headshot activations and there a number of factors that make it a successful activation for the booking client as well as the end user (the subjects getting the headshots).
For large activations, when the attendee count is 250 or more, it’s important to have a ‘reservation’ service where people can sign up ahead of time for scheduled appointments. With the way many conferences/events flow, there are always ‘rushes’ where the queue for headshots can become long; a reservation service provides an efficient way for people to plan their day and not get stuck waiting in line. Another important feature is the ability for the end user to get their photos right away via email or SMS. The instant feedback can help build excitement around the activation thus furthering user engagement.
Of course, it goes without saying that quality of the headshots matter and although it is important to get as many people through the stations, the time the photographer spends with the subject matters. Typically, we recommend a max of 20 people per station per hour of coverage so that the photographer can get a variety of angles and the subject doesn’t feel like they’re rushed through like at the DMV. We’ve gotten a lot of positive feedback by providing subjects with posing tips and spending more time with them to get a good headshot so having more time per slot is ideal.
From a planning perspective, the number of headshot stations is also critical to a successful activation. In this day and age, headshots are one of the best takeaways from an event/conference as most people appreciate getting a professional headshot for [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/) and their [Zoom](https://zoom.us/) profiles! Our ability to scale is a significant advantage because as an agency, we are used to managing teams and hacing high quality associates to represent our brand. For example, we recently also did an activation for [Chase Ink](https://creditcards.chase.com/business-credit-cards/ink) when they sponsored [Entrepenista](https://entreprenista.com/)‘s 100 and they wanted three headshots stations during an hour break to accommodate their guests busy schedules.

So it’s finally 2024 and we had a whirlwind of a year in 2023. We didn’t post too much on our blog mostly because of just being busy and not focusing enough of our time on it. So here’s a wrap up of the last year.
Statistically here’s some data:
- - Total shoots for our event photographers: 401
- Busiest Months: April and November
- Total Hours shot: 2,230
But numbers don’t really tell the full story: 2023 was filled with a lot more larger events and conferences as well as an increased number of [incentive programs](https://achievers.com/blog/employee-incentive-programs/) which already in 2024 will be a growing part of our business with some fun locales and great clients we’re working with. It’s always nice to start off the year with some SKOs and a lot more event video work for some clients like [United Airlines](https://www.united.com/en/us), [Allianz](https://www.allianz.com/en.html) and [Carnegie Mellon](https://www.cmu.edu/) among many others.
The year also included a lot of new photographers we’ve been working with to develop their skills as they join our ranks and we were very happy with some of the new faces you have no doubt seen shooting for Orange Photography and look forward to growing the team more in 2024.
Some of our most notable events were ones we can’t discuss, as if often the case when you work in the events industry but there are a few that we can discuss including a great TED conference, their first on AI, which was, of course, a huge field last year. [TED AI](https://www.ai-event.ted.com/) pulled together a bunch of top thinkers in AI and having taken place in San Francisco, included a lot of luminaries in the crowd as well. We enjoyed hearing from folks like [Stephen Wolfram](https://www.stephenwolfram.com/), [Reid Hoffman](https://www.reidhoffman.org/), and [Liv Boeree](https://livboeree.com/). on how AI would impact the world in science, art, politics and more.
Later in the year we spoke with [BizBash](https://www.bizbash.com/production-strategy/strategy/article/22875036/tips-for-working-with-event-photographers) about event photography and [the article has a bunch of good info from event photographers](https://www.bizbash.com/production-strategy/strategy/article/22875036/tips-for-working-with-event-photographers) from around the industry.
oh and then there was that whole thing with Twitter/X and Elon Musk which [we posted about here](https://orangephotography.com/twitter-x-and-orange-photography-a-behind-the-scenes-look/).
Overall though it was quite the fun year, we got to photograph many notables including Emmy and Oscar award winners, musicians like [Usher](https://www.usherworld.com/), [Pitbull](https://pitbullmusic.com/), [Diplo](https://diplo.com/) and the [Doobie Brothers](https://thedoobiebrothers.com/), inspirational and informative speakers like the always entertaining [Adam Grant](https://adamgrant.net/), and [Scott Harrison](https://www.charitywater.org/about/scott-harrison-story) and a host of others. Some, like [Michael Phelps](https://www.instagram.com/m_phelps00/?hl=en) spoke touchingly about their struggles and how they overcame them, and we even talked with [Tim Cook](https://www.apple.com/leadership/tim-cook/) about [Auburn Football](https://auburntigers.com/sports/football).

### [Recapping EventMB's 'The Future of the Event Industry 2021 Outlook'](https://orangephotography.com/recapping-eventmbs-the-future-of-the-event-industry-2021-outlook/)
**Published:** February 25, 2021
**Author:** jack
**Excerpt:** This was the prevailing question asked throughout Event Manager Blog's virtual conference last week, "The Future of the Event Industry 2021 Outlook". Moderated by EventMB's Founder and former Editor-in-Chief, Julius Solaris, the virtual event brought together many top industry leaders in various sectors as speakers to discuss the current state of the event industry and the many developments that has occurred consequentially from the pandemic-ridden year.

Where will the event industry be in 6 months? A year?
This was the prevailing question asked throughout [Event Manager Blog’s](https://www.eventmanagerblog.com/) virtual conference last week, “[The Future of the Event Industry 2021 Outlook](https://www.eventmanagerblog.com/the-future-of-the-event-industry-2021/)“. Moderated by EventMB’s Founder and former Editor-in-Chief, [Julius Solaris](https://www.linkedin.com/in/juliussolaris/), the virtual event brought together many top industry leaders in various sectors as speakers to discuss the current state of the event industry and the many developments that has occurred consequentially from the pandemic-ridden year.
Hosted on the modern virtual event platform, [SpotMe](https://spotme.com/), the speakers main focus was to inform viewers on the direction that the industry in heading towards and how to leverage technology, media, and strategy to create modern experiences for attendees as events are starting to make their way back. The topics ranged from analyses of how specific sectors would bounce back, to advanced insights on virtual events, and especially forecasting on what to expect for 2021 and beyond.
## Shift Towards Hybrid Events
Throughout the virtual event, the dominant topic was on the shift towards “hybrid” events, where there would be an added virtual component to the actual physical event and online attendees can have a live virtual experience. [Joe Pine](https://www.linkedin.com/in/joepine/), Co-founder of [Strategic Horizons](https://strategichorizons.com/), presented hybrid events with the idea of three levels that worked with time and place at different modularities.
The first level was fairly simple – having live physical events and just taking them online. The second level involved a “**social simulcast**” where events are being filmed and broadcasted to people who are viewing it in real-time. They may not be paying an admissions fee but they are paying to watch the event digitally. And the demand for this feature may actually be greater because you can fit much more people online and they can view it on their own terms.
Pine also mentioned the idea of “**Twitchification**“, where events are broadcasted in real-time but viewers don’t just watch passively, they’re also participants by adding another layer of engagement through social media that you normally wouldn’t get in a live event.
The third layer is ‘**asynchronous**‘, meaning that you can take the video and create segments from it so people can watch them at a later time. Viewers can end up paying a certain amount for this content even if it’s less, but this also has the opportunity to reach more people. Lastly, all of this video content created from the events can be turned into a demand-generating experience by creating ‘**recap**‘ snippets that show people what they missed out on and encourage them to attend the next event. Pine also emphasized that each of these levels will require a different type of design to be most effective.

In another session, [Matthew Franceschini](https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthew-franceschini-9769834b/) of [Aventri](https://www.aventri.com/) presented a case study that showed how the [Washington Tourism Alliance](http://watourismalliance.com/) (WTA) used virtual events to drive higher conversions. The nonprofit launched their campaign in 2020 with a planned event to increase tourism to the state just as the pandemic hit, completely halting their plans to promote traveling to the state. They tasked Aventri to move directly to virtual which resulted in changing their focus from driving attendee engagement to providing content that optimized attendee user experience. They ended up implementing several features that delivered quality content so attendees were interested and engaged. Another focus and challenge was to give attendees ability to respond to content.
# ## The Future of Event Tech, Branding, Audience, and Engagement
When asked about what to expect from event tech in 2021 and the future, [Yarkin Sakucoglu](https://www.linkedin.com/in/yarkin) (CEO of the event management platform [Socio](https://socio.events/)) stressed investing in hybrid features that help customers have more engaging and relevant networking opportunities like [Clubhouse](https://www.joinclubhouse.com/) networking rooms. And since event and sponsor ROI is top of mind for many organizers, having an updated sponsor portal can be extremely powerful as it can **allow sponsors to personalize micro-targeted campaigns** with video ads and banners that reach the right audiences.
Some of the other tools being worked on to create hybrid experiences include **using apps to ensure in-person experiences have mirrored virtual components that are able to communicate with each other**. For example, using apps so registration processes can have an in-person ticket as well as virtual tickets. The apps can then personalize the experience for the attendee by allowing them to input specific preferences when they register, and the customize it so the app delivers relevant updates such as speakers, networking rooms, etc.
Overall, event tech has been challenged to innovate quickly in the last year. And organizers are particularly interested about the ability to measure and increase event ROI using data and optimization.
London-based B2B Rebrand Consultant [Filip Matous](https://uk.linkedin.com/in/filipmatous) spoke about the future of event branding by highlighting an **aggressive shift towards increased content budgets,** which is not surprising given the pandemic shutdown. According to Matous, you should think of events as a production and all of the content that spills off of that as post-production. Turn speaker sessions into a podcast episodes, promotional photos and videos, and start to use all of your multimedia capabilities to stretch your brand power from that.
[Gerrit Heijkoop](https://www.linkedin.com/in/gerritheijkoop/) of [Live Online Events](http://live-online-events.com/?lang=en) emphasized empowering virtual event audiences with tactics that give them a voice and helps them interact like live chats, polling, and speaking opportunities. By having moderators on your team that focus specifically on online hospitality by moderating chats, relaying questions, it helps ensure the participants are heard and catered to. [Joe Schwinger](https://www.linkedin.com/in/joeschwinger) of [MeetingPlay](https://www.meetingplay.com/) also encouraged giving attendees a voice in order to prevent virtual fatigue. By using tools that allow for **user-generated content**, it introduces a two-way dialogue where attendees can actually interact with the event virtually.

# ## Event Marketing, Virtual Event Production & Tradeshows
[Kathryn Frankson](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kathrynfrankson) (Informa), [Pádraic Gilligan](https://www.linkedin.com/in/padraicgilligan/) (SITE), and [Aoife Delaney](https://www.linkedin.com/in/padraicgilligan/) (DMC Network) joined a session and spoke about how event marketing nowadays needs to be new and innovative since marketing is owning so many customer touch-points than ever before. This means that potential attendees will need information about the event early on so they can make decisions on whether to attend or not. **Bold creative is taking center-stage this year** and people are more than ever interested in the look and feel (UX and UI) of their virtual platforms.
In a discussion about the future of tradeshows, [Carina Bauer](https://www.linkedin.com/in/carina-bauer17) (CEO of [IMEX](https://www.imexamerica.com/)) and [Kai Hattendorf](https://fr.linkedin.com/in/kaihattendorf) (Managing Director and CEO of [UFI](https://www.ufi.org/)) were optimistic about them possibly coming back in the summer and going on into the rest of the year depending on how the COVID recovery develops. In order to address the business which happens on the show floor and not online, Hattendorf stressed finding a digital solution for transactions instead of a physical showroom. While Bauer focused on delivering good business connections to both exhibitors and buyers. They both believe that the focus will still be all about trades when things return to normal – “the transactions will be center-stage and everything will be built around that”, says Hattendorf. However, everything will need to COVID-safe with protocols and there will be a push to have a standard form of COVID documentation so attendees are used to the process and know what to expect.
## Other Notes…
One of the more interesting features from the virtual event was the use of “[Live Illustration](https://liveillustration.co.uk/)“, a virtual scribing tool that graphically records meetings to create drawings that visually show what is being discussed. You can see the collection of drawings created after each session in the slideshow below.
After the virtual event ended, the host Julius opened up a Clubhouse afterparty that engaged listeners to give their thoughts on the future of the events industry. Some audience members expressed their frustration with the shutdowns and how so many people are losing their jobs and actually leaving the industry to other fields. While another listener chimed in on how event planners are becoming the de facto cultural officers and getting a seat at the table for big companies.

Like the drinking buddy from Cheers, we’re ecstatic to welcome back Norm (as in Normalcy!) in our industry. Of course, we’re still crossing our fingers that there won’t be another COVID variant that makes use take four steps backwards but with the volume of work we’re doing for our old time clients, we expect that the worst is behind us! Within a months time we went to having a few jobs per month to 4x the amount of work and have been grateful that we have been able to manage the volume with the size of the team we have now! We continue to serve our Bay Area clients but have also increased our footprint nationwide with more projects in other major markets such as Las Vegas and Chicago.
Most recently, we covered a few events for [RISKWORLD](https://www.rims.org/annual-conferences/rims-2022/home) and was glad to be back doing event photography and videography at [Moscone Center](https://www.moscone.com/).
We also covered an intimate event hosted by [Nationwide Insurance](https://www.nationwide.com/) where we got to hear Peyton Manning share his experiences (including from Super Bowl 50 where we were also on hand shooting a variety of events)!
[Allianz Insurance Group](https://www.allianz.com/en.html) had a wonderful reception at the [Ferry Building](https://www.ferrybuildingmarketplace.com/) and our video coverage of the reception was featured on their Twitter feed!

Even though we’ve been busy with corporate clients, it has also been nice to capture more intimate events at our local independent movie theater, [The Roxie](https://www.roxie.com/). They hosted a Q&A with the director of the Oscar nominated movie, [Drive My Car](https://drivemycar.film/), Ryusuke Hamaguchi.

### [Change is good: Peter Hurley The Art Behind the Headshot](https://orangephotography.com/change-good-peter-hurley-art-behind-headshot/)
**Published:** December 2, 2013
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Chances are if you are a portrait photographer you’ve seen or heard of [Peter Hurley](http://peterhurley.com/). If you haven’t seen his presentation at the Google + Photographers Conference, [check it out on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-NKdOMtldM). 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 behind. Some people feel that this is disheartening but we love it. Change to us is learning new things, seeing new ways to see, and as a creative professional, we feel like that is required to be on top of our game.
Some of the tips he gives out are equally useful for any type of subject. For example he says to use intuition with celebrities and CEOs – listen to your intuition (know when you are done, and losing them) but of course this is critical with non-celebrity clients as well.
Some posing tips like pointing ears and forehead toward the camera help make almost anyone look better too and we like how he tells people to push their elbows back and not be wide. Asking subjects to loosen up and relax their shoulders more is a proven way to get people to look less nervous too.
Other tips to make people feel comfortable or relax that Hurley demonstrates include telling people to “look delighted,” or “make the face I’m making.” For smilers telling them to “stop smiling first, then do small smiles” is also effective.
In general the best takeaways may be to “watch what they are doing,” “keep shooting” and to know that trial and error is not a bad approach 🙂

They epitomize Orange Photography’s role at the cutting edge of modern tech, with our team’s innovative spirit and heartfelt dedication”.* **-Jan Purat, Associate Producer and Tech**
### We’re Growing!
It’s been an exciting few months at Orange Photography as we have expanded our team to include four new team members. Co-owner and Manager Jack Huynh says that this is the strongest and most talented team that we have had in a very long time and is very hopeful about the future as we continue to provide excellent service worldwide.
**Jesse Rosen, Producer & Videographer**
> *“I’m Jesse! When I’m not filming or recording audio, I am playing ultimate frisbee, fencing (yes– sword fighting), and planning my next big adventure. Originally from the east coast, my heart and my head led me to San Francisco where I began my career as a video producer and multi-talented media man. I have two cats and live in Oakland. My background is in audio production and film making and have worked with clients such as Google, Bloomberg and Genentech.”*
**Emily Plug, Marketing Coordinator**
****
*“Hi, I’m Emily. As the Marketing Coordinator I will be the voice behind many of the upcoming newsletters, blog posts and and other updates from Orange Photography (including this one!) I started with Orange in July and have been digging in to expand our content library as well as our social media presence. My background is in design, writing, advertising and operations. I am originally from Canada and I have lived and worked long term in several different countries including Australia, France, England and Italy. Travel is a huge passion of mine and usually have at least one trip on the calendar at all times! Aside from traveling, I spend most of my free time hanging out with my two dogs, relaxing outdoors, hiking, reading or drawing.”*
**Nicole Henderson, Producer & Photographer**
> “My experience is in photography, marketing, video, design and operations. I’ve worked in many small businesses and wearing a lot of hats has been both necessary and rewarding. Variety is definitely one of the spices of my life! At Orange I’m excited about my new role as a producer in the photo/video industry, while expanding and fine tuning my photography repertoire as a staff photographer. I was born in Minneapolis (birthplace of Prince!) but I’ve lived on and in between both coasts. My family moved a fair amount while I was growing up, but the Mission District of San Francisco has been my chosen home for 20 years. Hobbies: I love photography, animals, filmmaking, wandering locally and through travel, and continually exploring new avenues. Creative problem solving excites me!”
**Josh Culler, Editor & Technical Assistant**
*“In the past, I worked for The Process Recording Studios in Greensboro, NC for a few years as a professional sound engineer after completing my apprenticeship with the owner there. Since leaving the studio some years ago, I have been involved in numerous projects as a composer. I am an electronic musician, with credits in a couple recently released video games, as well as one (very low budget) feature film. As a hobby, I enjoy making digital art and various shorts– specifically involving video and visual fx.”*

### [Twitter, @x and Orange Photography - a behind the scenes look](https://orangephotography.com/twitter-x-and-orange-photography-a-behind-the-scenes-look/)
**Published:** July 31, 2023
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Well last week was quite a whirlwind and Orange got a lot of attention since one of our co-founders, Gene X Hwang (me) was all over the news cycle when Twitter completed it’s transformation to [X](https://x.com/) and subsequently took over the @x Twitter handle, which I had owned since 2007. We ourselves have had [our account on Twitter](https://twitter.com/orangephoto) since 2009 and as the news spread we found ourselves getting a lot of unexpected attention and from all sorts of people around the world!
Folks from our own industry reached out and posted, sharing their thoughts and support and that was really great to see. The events industry is a big industry but small at the same time and the outpouring of support was pretty awesome. Talking to various news outlets and other media sources was a bit strange since we’re usually on the back end of things and not on the front end. As photographers we often like to be behind the lens instead of in front of it.
In one case, the [San Francisco Examiner](https://www.sfexaminer.com/news/technology/twitter-rebrand-comes-for-longtime-sf-photographer-account/article_bdd5178e-2d95-11ee-9d27-4784dd8fe23c.html) sent a photojournalist to make images and it was our friend [Craig Lee](https://craigleephoto.com/), who’s also shot with us in the past. So that was a nice chance to catch up with him and then being the subject was a bit awkward but relaxed since we were acquaintances. We shot at [Alamo Drafthouse](https://drafthouse.com/sf) where Craig didn’t realize there was a pinball speakeasy up on the second floor. [Check out the coverage here](https://www.sfexaminer.com/news/technology/twitter-rebrand-comes-for-longtime-sf-photographer-account/article_bdd5178e-2d95-11ee-9d27-4784dd8fe23c.html).
Another thing I’ve been working on personally was doing things that might be uncomfortable, to grow in all aspects of life, and all this media attention was definitely that. Doing interviews via email was fine, but calls with reporters and being live on air was a bit nerve wracking. I didn’t even want to watch the interviews but they were shared with me and I waited until the day after to review them. Another learning was that it’s important to have a plan or idea of what you want to say and what might be asked. At times I remember trying to come up with an answer made me more nervous so I tried to think out what questions might be asked and what my answers would be.
Some of my answers evolved since as you are asked things you think about them more and more and on day two I realized there’s a way to turn some of the attention into a positive and wanted to promote a local non-profit that we’ve been supporting for years, [First Exposures](https://www.firstexposures.org/). I was pretty sure Twitter was not going to provide any sort of financial compensation for the handle and I had gotten so much supportive comments from people asking how they could help whether that be from legal experts and lawyers or just friends and random people on the internet so I decided to promote them since local arts-based youth non profit programs are often underfunded and having been involved for so long, I knew that any donations would really help the program and thus the young people in the program. So if you’ve followed this along and want to do anything you can [donate to First Exposures online here](https://firstexposures.networkforgood.com/projects/54080-general-donation)!

### [Orange celebrates 22 years and establishes Midwest office](https://orangephotography.com/orange-celebrates-22-years-and-establishes-midwest-office/)
**Published:** August 19, 2021
**Author:** jack
**Content:**
This month marks the 22nd anniversary of Orange Photography. As we reflect back on this wonderful journey of running a small business in an increasingly expensive city, it is not surprising that we have had to evolve with the times. From our earliest days of running the business out of our awesome Victorian flat in SOMA on the questionable Natoma Street to moving a few blocks away to 9th and Howard, we’ve had our fair share of memorable parties so we dug up some oldies to share.
By the the middle of 2019 we had already decided to not renew our lease in the venerable [American Industrial Center](http://aicproperties.com/) in the Dogpatch given the cost of rent and commuting headaches that plagued Bay Area living. About that same time, Jack decided to move to Ann Arbor to give the suburban lifestyle a shot and actually purchase a home he could afford! Alas, we have been fortunate enough to have enough national clients where we can serve more effectively being in the middle of America! As we wait out the pandemic, we’re grateful for all the existing clients that we continue to serve and look forward to a very different future where we’re a virtual company all the time!

As the pandemic took hold and closed down business across the world, we at Orange also felt the impacts and in all the cities our teams live and work in, we saw downtowns closing and businesses shuttering. In September of 2020 [*The Frisc*](https://thefrisc.com/) magazine featured some of our co-founder Gene X Hwang’s photography in a piece for their [Street Photo Spotlight series](https://thefrisc.com/street-photo-spotlight-gene-x-hwang-1c1d5e1b9b1e) which in the past has featured such notable photographers as [Richard Koci-Hernandez](https://journalism.berkeley.edu/person/richard_koci_hernandez/) and [Troy Holden](http://troyholden.com/).

[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/adopt-the-delightful-dog-danielle/danielleddd-119_ig-2/)*This lovely gal is looking for an active home!*
Orange Photography is committed to [giving back](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/aboutus/givingback/) to the community and helping in whatever ways we can. This includes volunteering at the [SF Marin Food Bank](http://www.sfmfoodbank.org/) on a regular basis and supporting the causes and organizations about which staff are passionate. Luckily for me, that means I get to bring dogs from the [SF SPCA](http://www.sfspca.org) to the studio on doggie day dates to help the pooches get out for some fun and expose them to potential adopters beyond the shelter.
I brought my first doggie day date, [Bright Eyes,](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/help-this-lady-find-her-furever-home/) last November. Since that time, Orange Photography has hosted a few more dogs from the SF SPCA. I knew my colleagues enjoyed the puppy time but I didn’t realize how much until they asked me last week, “So…when are you bringing in another dog?”
Fast forward to yesterday: I brought in sweet, vivacious [Danielle](https://www.sfspca.org/adoptions/pet-details/29360844), a 2.5 year old Australian Cattle Dog/Terrier mix. I’ve taken her on a doggie day date before to the Marin Headlands. I was curious to see how she’d do in the studio. She was fantastic! Danielle showed off her obedience skills for treats, and kept herself quietly entertained with toys and exploring. She also helped us celebrate (belatedly) [Asher’s](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/aboutus/team/asher-jelinsky/) birthday, although instead of chocolate cake, she got a kong filled with treats.
Danielle came to the SF SPCA from Stockton and has been homeless for more than 200 days!
The average stay for an adoptable dog is about 17 days. Most dogs find their match right away. And then there are a few who take a bit, or a lot, longer. Danielle is one of these longer-term residents. But it is not for lack of personality or charm! In the spirit of helping Danielle find a home via Orange Photography’s social media channels, I’m doing this blog post like I did for Bright Eyes (who, by the way, found her furever home a couple weeks ago!). I invited fellow SPCA volunteer, Michelle, who has worked more with Danielle, to help me get these great photos of Danielle. Thanks Michelle!
I also asked Michelle what she loves about Danielle:
> My love for Danielle has grown as I have become one of her volunteer regulars. I would describe Danielle as fun, energetic, smart, engaging, curious and affectionate. She loves to give kisses – although sometimes it might feel like she is trying to lick my face off! She is a fun dog who is quick to learn any new tricks I show her.
> Danielle needs active adopters preferably with a yard. She loves to play games and sort of keeps you on your toes. I also just love how it is looks like she has little black pants on when she walks with such purpose. She has those incredibly happy eyes and cute little ears. She is such a loving dog that I think would be devoted to her owners.
>
>
>
> If you want an active dog that will give you just as much as you give, Danielle is your girl.
Having spent a full day with Danielle in the studio, I agree with Michelle. Danielle is a very likable gal and definitely needs to find a home with adopters that can keep her mentally and physically active. She is very playful, curious, and brave. New things and experiences don’t phase her. On our doggie day date at Orange, she experienced bubbles, carrots, the MUNI bus, and elevators — probably all for the first time. Her initial response to each one was curiosity exercised with a smidgen of caution, but the courage to explore it. In the case of the carrots, she played with the cut up sticks until she realized she could eat them; then she took to them like Bugs Bunny!
Please share this post! Let’s help find Danielle a home! \[PUPDATE: Danielle was adopted on March 19th!\]
As a bonus, here’s [a fun video compilation](https://vimeo.com/158439034) of Danielle cuteness 🙂

### [LOMO INSTANT Review](https://orangephotography.com/lomo-instant-review/)
**Published:** December 26, 2014
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/genex2014_0262f.jpg)We got our new [LOMO’INSTANT](http://microsites.lomography.com/lomo-instant-camera/) just before the holidays so of course had to take it out and test it out during travels home for the holidays so here’s a review of the camera.
In case you aren’t familiar with the Lomo Instant, it’s produced by [Lomography](http://www.lomography.com/), who has brought the Diana and classic Lomo cameras to us before. It uses the widely available [Fuji Instax Mini film](http://www.fujifilm.com/products/instant_photo/films/instax_mini/) and the camera body comes in a variety of colors.
### **In the hand**
The Instant is pretty standard sized, much like a large point and shoot and comes with a few interchangeable lenses but comes by default with a wide angle that’s good for many purposes. The other lenses are a portrait lens, fish eye and close up lens. They all screw in and are easy to switch out. The shutter button is a bit different but easy to use and the body comes with a tripod mount and you can use a traditional cable release for long exposures. The camera is pretty light, and while you can’t put it in your jeans pocket, it’s still pretty portable.
### **Creativity and shooting options!**
One of the nicest things about this camera is that you can take longer exposures without flash and also multiple exposures! There’s a switch to change the shutter (which defaults at 1/125 sec.) to Bulb mode and there’s also a toggle for MX (Multiple EXposures). Pretty fun tools to have on a camera like this. You can do stuff like take one shot with the fisheye and then do a multiple exposure with the portrait lens to get really interesting looks that would be tough to create otherwise.
Additionally there are lots of ways to shoot to give you maximum control (relatively speaking). Typically I found myself using the Creative Mode with the flash turned off the most.
Oh yeah with regards to flash – the kit comes with four gels you can slide in front of the flash for color splashes – but you can just as easily take any gels you have yourself, and trim them to size to have even more colorful options!
### **Conclusions**
So what did we think after playing with this for a couple weeks? Our Lomo Instant review would be a resounding endorsement. This is a fun camera with some nice controls to let you be creative and make the kinds of images you can envision. Having limitations is always kind of nice since it forces you to figure out what you can get out of the tool, and the Lomo Instant is great this way.
Up next I want to try using an optical slave flash while shooting in the dark to see what kind of neat effects that can create – something I’ve been playing with while shooting [Impossible Project](https://www.the-impossible-project.com/) Polaroid film as well](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/genex2014_RAW886.jpg)

Meet Bright Eyes. This sweet, 5.5 year old Welsh Corgi mix was our special guest last Friday courtesy of the [SF SPCA](https://www.sfspca.org/), where I volunteer. The SF SPCA has a Doggie Day Date program, which allows more experienced volunteers to take one of the longer-term resident pooches out for an excursion. It’s a fun break for the dogs who have been in the shelter for an extended period. They get to explore new places and smells; gain exposure to new activities, situations, and stimuli; and receive some major lovin’ from the volunteer and other folks they meet.
The average length of stay for dogs at the SF SPCA is 17 days. [Bright Eyes](https://www.sfspca.org/adoptions/pet-details/28548593) has been at the SF SPCA for more than 100 days.
According to Kiersten Anderson, the Dog Volunteer Services Coordinator at the SF SPCA,
> “Bright Eyes was found as a stray in early July. She loves to cuddle and is a staff and volunteer favorite. I would take her if I could–and I’m not just saying that!”
After hanging out with Bright Eyes, my colleagues and I could see why she’s a favorite with SF SPCA staff and volunteers. She was an amazing studio dog for the day. Bright Eyes greeted people at the door, helped take inventory, cleaned up after mealtime (without being asked!), showed off her obedience training (Sit, Down), checked in on everyone periodically to make sure they were doing their work properly, reminded folks to meet their daily dog petting quota, and rewarded them with a wagging tail of approval. In fact, I don’t think her tail stopped wagging all day!
Bright Eyes was a model dog (housebroken and well-mannered) and a lovely model! She was very patient with us and let us dress her up with silly holiday accessories. We decided to do a little photo shoot of her in preparation for the holiday party season and in the hopes that one of our blog readers may fall in love with her…!

We think it’s crazy that she hasn’t found her match yet. Hence this blog post.
Help us find Bright Eyes a home! Share this post with your friends and via social media. Better yet, go visit the SF SPCA. The SF SPCA is [open everyday](https://www.sfspca.org/contactvisit) except major holidays–it’s open today, the day after Thanksgiving! End pet homelessness, [end petlessness](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSo5eApMYZ4). Thank you and Happy Holidays!
[PUPDATE: Bright Eyes was adopted on February 20th!!]

### [Setting Up Your Zoom Calls for Success](https://orangephotography.com/setting-up-your-zoom-calls-for-success/)
**Published:** May 15, 2020
**Author:** jack
**Content:**
As we all are adjusting to the quarantine orders from these COVID-19 restrictions, one thing that is certain to come out of this time is the rise of video conferencing. Whether it’s the popular [Zoom](https://zoom.us/) application, or [Google Hangouts/Meet](https://meet.google.com/), or [Skype](https://www.skype.com/) of any of the other platforms, we’re all learning how to navigate the transition to working digitally. And while it may seem like a very simple task to attend a video call, there is some etiquette to be applied if you want to look your best on the small screen.
And being a video and photography agency, we thought it might be helpful to provide some tips from our perspective to give you that professional edge among your peers.
**Correctly Position Your Camera**
A lot of people will take their video calls from their phones and will hold it in front of them around the level of their chest or stomach area. But we’re sorry to let you know that one of the worst angles to hold the camera is usually from a low level because people can mostly only see your chin!
Most of us will be taking our calls on a laptop and the easy thing to do is just place it on the table or surface in front of you. But the same situation applies here, you don’t want people looking up at your chin and nostrils. They prefer to look you in the eyes! Especially if they haven’t had much human connection recently.
So avoid having the camera facing up at you. Ideally, the most flattering angle is just above the eye level so you are looking slightly up at the camera. If you think about the selfie angle and why it’s so popular, it follows these same principles; the body and face appear slimmer and in a flattering inverted-triangle shape.
For your video conferences, the straight-on eye level angle will do just fine as well. So if you’re just using a normal table, stack some books under it to raise the camera level. And don’t forget to center yourself in the middle of the screen so it’s not too distracting.
**Proper Lighting**
Have proper lighting directed onto your face. But also avoid being backlit because it will flood the screen with light and you end up looking like a really dark silhouette. So to prevent this, if you have a window or light source, make sure it’s in front of you (or slightly to the front and side) instead of behind you.
This way, the light is shining directly on your face and prevents unwanted shadows or dark areas, making your face unclear. Artificial lights like [ring lights](https://www.businessinsider.com/ring-lights-zoom-work-video-calls-influencers-youtubers-better-lighting-2020-5) or [ones you can mount on your screen ](https://www.razer.com/gaming-broadcaster/razer-kiyo)are also great options if you want something more consistent (sometimes the weather doesn’t want to cooperate). But also remember that your computer screen is also a source of light so if it’s too bright you can completely wash out your face, making you look like a ghost!
**Background**
Keep some separation between you and the background. If you’re too close and you have objects in your background that are in focus, it may be distracting for your viewers. Keep the background clean and decluttered. You may like having something interesting in the background like books, photos, or decorative objects, but nothing should distract the viewers from you. Most people try to keep just one area in their home nice and clean (and admittedly everywhere else is a mess) so if you want to go that route then you’re in good company. But if this isn’t an option, you can always [set up a virtual background](https://www.theverge.com/2020/3/11/21173608/zoom-video-conference-how-to-virtual-background-greenscreen).
**Stay Focused and Attentive**
Don’t fiddle around – learn to be still and focused because excessive movement can be distracting for your viewers. Also make sure you aren’t multitasking and doing other things while on your call. I’ve heard stories of video interviews where you can actually see the other person browsing on their phone and it was completely off-putting. Since you’re already in the comfort of your home most of the time, make some effort to stay focused throughout that hour or more so the other participants don’t feel like they’re wasting their time!
**Audio**
If you’re using a microphone, be sure to test the equipment to make sure others can hear you. You should also know when to turn your audio off – when you’re not speaking. You’d be surprised how many sounds your microphone can pick up so muting yourself will allow others on the call to easily hear who’s talking and what they’re saying. In that same vein, you’ll want to avoid areas with ambient noise like wind, other people, etc.
Another small tip is to not do your calls in a small space with a lot of hard surfaces (walls) because your voice can bounce off them and produce an echo. So an open space is more preferable.
**Other Tips**
You can try out the “[Touch Up My Appearance](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115002595343-Touch-Up-My-Appearance?mobile_site=true)” option on Zoom to soften your features, similar to what a photo filter does on Instagram.
Arrive a bit early so you have time to test your software and check your appearance, so you can look for anything that is out of place.
**Final Words**
The reason this is important to consider is because since in-person interactions have all but stopped, it’s so important nowadays to feel a sense of connection to whoever it is you’re video chatting with. By setting up your video calls so your appearance is clear to your viewers and you’re present and engaged in the meeting, there’s much more of a sense of human connection added to the experience. Hopefully these tips have given you some ideas so you can take some time to focus on these aspects and consider how you want to present yourself to your peers.

As a non-essential business, we at Orange Photography have been doing our best to weather this pandemic and ride things out. In San Francisco we went into lock down pretty early and it’s had a positive impact on the effects of coronavirus. Though our team is spread out across the country, I’ve been taking photos of the city while out on bike rides or running errands and getting food, etc. [Check out the gallery,(which is updated daily) here](http://bit.ly/coronavirusSF).

### [Tech Trends: Emergence of Video Marketing and Why It Has Become So Powerful](https://orangephotography.com/tech-trends-emergence-of-video-marketing-and-why-it-has-become-so-powerful/)
**Published:** November 11, 2019

## **Videos are a booming trend in the events and marketing industry**
Marketers have always needed a way to promote their services to their potential clients and historically, this has been mostly done through images and text describing what they can offer. But in today’s world of modern technology, *video* has become a central component of effective marketing campaigns and strategies.
Statistics show that over [54% of consumers prefer to see video content from brands](https://research.hubspot.com/content-trends-global-preferences?_ga=2.14492927.95215742.1573182866-645038363.1562016169), which is the highest amount over emails, images, and articles. And what that translates to is 81% of businesses are now using video for marketing ([Hubspot](https://blog.depositphotos.com/2017-video-marketing-stats-why-you-need-to-start-using-video-infographic.html)). This all explains why we’re seeing more and more businesses placing videos on their websites and channels.
But why exactly has it become so popular? And are they worth of all those resources required to produce one? You may have your doubts, but the short answer is that they’re totally worth the investment.
Here we’ll explain **why videos are an emerging tech trend** and **why you should adopt them in your next marketing campaign**.
## **Why have videos become so popular?**
What marketers have figured out based on all of the statistics around videos is that videos are so much more preferable type of content to consume over any other. And this is because of several reasons:
For one, **it’s so easy to digest and consume**. Compared to reading text, which can be long and cumbersome, watching a video gives our eyes and mind a rest from scanning through several lines of words. In addition, videos can be much **more entertaining and engaging** because there’s so many possibilities to put on the screen and viewers are never sure of what they’re going to see. If you think about it, the sight of a video player is much more appealing than a long paragraph to read!
Both for producers and consumers, **videos have just become very accessible**. You see more and more video production agencies springing up and the tools to create videos are becoming more abundant. Also, with the advancement of streaming and high-speed internet, just about every major media service is able to show videos on their platform and has made it **easy to share across multiple channels**.
No doubt, because of recent technological advancements, the return on investment for producing video content has shot through the roof and most companies are looking for ways to advantage of it to promote their business.
## How Videos Are A Powerful Tool To Promote Your Business
Now that we understand why videos are so successful, we can go deeper into the mechanisms that make them so powerful.
## Videos boost ROI and conversions because they’re most effective at explaining ideas
According to a [survey by Wyzowl](https://www.wyzowl.com/video-marketing-statistics-2017.html), 83% of businesses believe that video provides a good return on investment. And one of the main reasons is because **they can explain a product or service so clearly**. There are endless ways to combine information into a video and arrange it so it will be interesting to the viewer. The visual components allow viewers to understand complex ideas that text simply cannot do. This is why statistics show that adding a video to a product’s landing page can increase conversions [by 80%](http://www.insivia.com/50-must-know-stats-about-video-marketing-2016/) – **if a user can understand the product better, they’re more likely to move forward with a purchase**.
In addition to the explanatory aspect of video, they can also **build trust between the user and company**. Since trust and relationship are crucial to getting conversions and many consumers are skeptical about buying services on the internet because of possible fraud or cheating, videos are an effective way to get an emotional response and personal connection. They present the information in a conversational form and shows the product in action so viewers can get a better idea of what they’re potentially purchasing, which explains why [57% of consumers said videos gave them more confidence to purchase online](http://www.e-tailing.com/content/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/EtailingGroup_Whitepaper_3.pdf).
## Video caters to user preferences
We briefly discussed this in the introduction, but video marketing caters to how users want to consume information because it’s easy and entertaining compared to reading text. With video, you don’t have to look anything up, read long descriptions, or do additional research into a company’s services because it can all be delivered and packaged into a video. These **viewers want to see the company and product in action and videos are the best at engaging these viewers**.
If you consider the amount of mobile users in today’s world and the fact that [90% of consumers watch video on their mobile](https://www.wyzowl.com/video-marketing-statistics-2017.html), you can see how much **it appeals to mobile users**. Therefore accessing their attention through their phone has huge potential to grow your audience and potential conversions.
The results are very clear in this aspect, [with 90%](https://www.socialmediatoday.com/news/the-state-of-video-marketing-in-2018-infographic/518339/) of consumers saying that a video can help them make a purchasing decision and putting videos on landing pages can increase conversion rates by 80%. Videos will keep audiences engaged and interested and will lead them to further explore a website for more information – up to two whole minutes more – and **the longer they stay on your website, the more likely they are to purchase from it**.
## The analytics agree that users prefer video content
Since videos increase the time spend by visitors on your website or channel, this means the additional exposure builds more trust and signals to search engines that your website has good content. Therefore you’re more likely to show up higher on Google rankings if you have a video on your site – [53 times more likely](https://www.moovly.com/blog/4-great-reasons-you-should-use-video-marketing) to be exact. This can be further benefitted by optimizing your videos for SEO and adding interesting titles and descriptions, with calls to action that encourage users to take the next step.
According to [Cisco](https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/solutions/collateral/service-provider/visual-networking-index-vni/complete-white-paper-c11-481360.html#_Toc484813971), over 80% of all online traffic will be video by 2021. And search engines will rank video sources high because they’re considered high quality content.
With all of this statistical support pointing to the power of video in increasing your exposure and ROI, it’s hard not to consider implementing video campaigns into your next marketing strategy. Stay tuned for further articles about how to implement specific techniques in your video marketing!

### [Livestreaming at MPINCC's Annual Conference & Expo - ACE19!](https://orangephotography.com/livestreaming-at-mpinccs-annual-conference-expo-ace19/)
**Published:** July 1, 2019
**Author:** jack
**Content:**
This year’s MPINCC Annual Conference & Expo was a huge success as the event featured innovative displays of how leading industries are planning to make meetings and events more engaging and meaningful for their participants. At ACE19, exhibitors set up booths that focused on education sessions such as storytelling, audience engagement, and using new technology to capture hearts and minds, with attendees being active participants in the day’s events.
As a long-time member of [MPINCC](https://www.mpiweb.org/chapters/northern-california), we took our production to another level with [livestreaming services](https://orangephotography.com/streaming-services) that covered presentations, meet-ups, and the day’s general activities. As a video service that can display on multiple platforms in real-time, it can take events and broadcast them around the world, providing organizations with a direct gateway to the global market.
***Take a behind the scenes look at our video coverage:***
## **SETTING UP THE LIVESTREAM**
The set-up was incredibly easy, without the distracting and cumbersome cables that can usually stretch across rooms, all it required was a tripod or surface to stand on and a line of sight to the highlighted activities. Here’s some of the features that stood out:
- **Wireless and portable** – The equipment itself is lightweight and portable. It’s under 3 pounds, battery-operated, and no cables are needed to connect to the internet or power – providing a sleek and simple setup that doesn’t distract from the event itself.
- **Multi-camera** – Since it’s so lightweight and wireless, we set up multiple small cameras at several different locations and viewpoints. There were close-ups of speakers, wide views covering the large convention area, cameras set up on the floor right in the middle of the action, as well as the mobile views operated by our production crew – all capturing the special moments and interactions that couldn’t be missed.
- **Livestreaming to multiple platforms** – Interactive links directed the live feeds straight to their Facebook pages, with the option of using any preferred platform, be it YouTube, Vimeo, Periscope, or other destinations.
- **Mobile app** – An app can be downloaded and used to monitor the separate video feeds and switch between cameras to show the preferred view. With the option to include text overlays, the streams were easy to manage and change which platform to showcase them on.
By livestreaming the ACE19 event, we were able to provide viewers with a more intimate perspective of the conference and show the real-time experiences that guests were having. The unfiltered, easy-to-produce content gave a deeper glimpse into the organization’s personality, all in high-definition!
If you’d like to know more about how this can be implemented at your next event, please send us a message and we can give you a deeper look into the operation!

### [Coronavirus, International Prospects, and Optimism Highlight the SF Travel Marketing Conference](https://orangephotography.com/coronavirus-international-prospects-and-optimism-highlight-the-sf-travel-marketing-conference/)
**Published:** March 4, 2020
**Author:** jack
**Content:**
###### Marriott International’s Area General Manager John Kimball speaking at the SF Travel Marketing Conference.
Last week we wrapped up a marketing conference by one of our valued sponsors, [SF Travel](https://www.sftravel.com/)! The event, held at [Mission Bay’s Conference Center](http://www.acc-missionbayconferencecenter.com/) on UCSF’s beautiful campus, gathered leaders in the local hospitality industry to discuss the current state of travel and tourism to San Francisco as well as the latest trends.
Though 2019 was another record-breaking year, the fear of limited growth was high due to the coronavirus and looming travel restrictions. But the good news is that many organizations are responding to the imminent threat by having plans in place so once the fears subside, the rebound will be quick and effective.
###### The SF Travel Marketing Conference was held at the esteemed Mission Bay Conference Center at UCSF.
## **The Coronavirus Affecting the Travel & Hospitality Industry**
Topic of the day was how the coronavirus is affecting local areas, travel, tourism, and how the city is operating.
City officials Joaquin Torres, Director of the [Office of Economic and Workforce Development](https://oewd.org/) and Mary Ellen Carroll, Executive Director of the [San Francisco Department of Emergency Management](https://sfdem.org/) spoke about how the City and Mayor London Breed is **responding to the possibility of an epidemic with an Emergency Declaration**.
Even though there has been zero cases of the virus in San Francisco, the declaration is mainly a “tool to martial resources to prepare and accelerate planning” in case the virus does hit the City.
It’s important to note the impact that the coronavirus is having on travel and events in San Francisco since the City is a hub for large conferences that bring in visitors from around the world. Even though Torres and Carrol maintain that San Francisco is still open for business, **several conferences have already dropped out such as [Facebook’s F8](https://www.f8.com/), the [Game Developers Conference](https://www.gdconf.com/), and most recently [Google’s Cloud Next](https://cloud.withgoogle.com/next/sf)**.
###### Humphrey Ho (top) and Joe D’Alessandro (bottom) discuss the effects of COVID-19.
Later on in the conference, Humphrey Ho, managing partner of SF Travel’s consulting partner on China, Hylink Digital Solutions, spoke about how travel from China to the United States and San Francisco in particular is such a large piece of the hospitality industry. Especially considering centennials have how become a new demographic of visitors from China to the US, and SFO being one of the main West Coast gateways, they look to focus their efforts in growing this area.
And while they’re currently at a standstill, it is likely to bounce back in a huge way as early as spring once travel restrictions are lifted and COVID-19’s spread is more manageable. Ho refers to the rise in China’s social media content that reflects a pent-up demand to travel due to the lack of mobility in recent weeks.
###### Presenters discuss local events that impact travel into San Francisco.
## **San Francisco Remains A Top Travel Destination**
Despite coronavirus fears, the speakers urged optimism. They revealed that though the coronavirus will impact conventions and vacation travelers in 2020, 2021 is expected to be strong. With the hope that summer and fall travel from China will be heavy as the pent-up demand to travel could be released after the coronavirus spread lowers.
Statistics show improvement every year in key metrics – with San Francisco being just behind New York and Los Angeles as the top destinations within the United States for international travelers. This shows that the city’s “destination appeal” has remained strong, with Fishermans Wharf and Union Square as the most popular landmarks to visit. Respondents to surveys also described the **weather and diverse culture as the most liked aspects of the City**. And over 97% of visitors saying they would return. The speakers also highlighted optimism in cannabis tourism as up to 70% of dispensary visitors are tourists.
The outlook for sports in San Francisco this decade is also strong as Rory Davis, Sr. Manager of SF Travel’s Sports & Entertainment Sales revealed the SF Bay Area to be the [**Sports City of Decade**](https://www.sftravel.com/article/san-francisco-named-sports-city-decade) by the Sports Business Journal. He also cites several high-profile events such as US Women’s Open, NCAA Men’s Basketball Regionals, SailGP, the PGA Championship, and possibly even the 2026 FIFA World Cup coming to the city over the next several years.
## **Traffic and homelessness as top issues for visitors**
Of course the visitor experience is not all positive. Surveys of travelers and hotel guests show that 26% of respondents listed traffic and parking as the least liked aspects on the city while 23.7% cited homelessness. **These are key factors that affect the decisions of large conferences choosing San Francisco as their host city**.
Local officials are recognizing this trend and are addressing the situation with their 2020 public policy focus by introducing the **Clean Safe 365** campaign. The goal of this initiative is to”cleaner, safer streets that encourage, rather than hinder, the prosperity and wellbeing of citizens”. And they plan to do this by providing supportive services for those struggling with mental health and drug-related issues. **increasing foot beat patrols, expanding the EMS and community paramedic program, and increasing recruitment for police**.
In addition, the City has enacted the Downtown Streets Program which provide homeless or close to homeless people jobs in exchange for services such as street cleaning. The hope is that they can use these benefits to help lift them out of their situation while also gaining dignity through the work they’re doing.

### [Maximizing Celebrity Engagements Through Media](https://orangephotography.com/maximizing-celebrity-engagements-through-media/)
**Published:** November 19, 2019
**Author:** jack
**Content:**
There’s no doubt about it, celebrity appearances are one of the best ways to boost sales and branding. Having a celebrity endorse your organization with an appearance can instantly change its public perception by inspiring consumer confidence, credibility, and legitimacy. Their likeness will grab the audiences’ attention and add a touch of curiosity to your event, which increases the buzz and attendance around it.
But how will you prepare for the engagement to make the most out of it in terms of promotion? Here we’ll discuss some ways to maximize those celebrity appearances from a photography and marketing point of view.
## **Logistical Details**
There’s so many details to go over when planning a celebrity appearance. But one of the main tasks is to **share your plan with the celebrity** to make sure they approve what you have in store. This will eliminate confusion and any awkwardness that comes up the day of, so your special guest doesn’t feel uncomfortable!
Be sure to discuss what sort of photography and videos will be taken and whether you can use them for future marketing material. It also may be necessary to ask **whether you can use your logo** in the media as well.
## **Strategies and Techniques to Maximize Celebrity Appearances**
## Hire a Professional
Saying this may sound a little redundant but the point still needs to be made! Always hire your own professional photographer and/or videographer so you’ll be certain to have your own future marketing materials.
This gives you full control over the quality and distribution of any media assets. Especially since nonprofessionals may take unflattering or unusable photos, with a professional event photographer you’ll always get quality, high-resolution images from multiple perspectives. And they can also add options like retouching, logos/watermarks, and exclusive online galleries where attendees can view, download, and share photos from the event.
## Step & Repeats
This is pretty much standard when you have a celebrity appearance. It’s a great opportunity to get some images of them with your logo, with a clear indication that they’re representing your brand and company. These images can be posted all over social media, news outlets, magazines, and other print and online material so that every photo includes your logo and delivers consistent messaging that appears wherever they’re posted.
It’s also a great way to stage shots if the celebrity is taking photos with multiple sets of people or doing a meet and greet. If you want some tips on how to run a smooth meet and greet, we got you covered in [this article](https://orangephotography.com/tips-for-running-a-smooth-meet-and-greet/)!
## Arrange an Interview
Interviews produce tons of great content that you can use later on in the future.
In addition to getting the celebrity to talk about your company or themes you’re focusing on, you can get videos, sound bites, photos, and quotes related directly to your brand.
## Live Streaming
Live streaming is becoming an increasingly more popular feature to add to event coverage. By providing a live look into the event, it offers a more intimate and authentic way to share it and gives the audience a cool “exclusive look” which can arouse curiosity. And since many platforms now offer a live stream feature (like Facebook, Youtube, and Instagram) it actually boosts the video’s discoverability!
If you want to learn more about what live-streaming does for you, [read our article](https://orangephotography.com/livestreaming-at-mpinccs-annual-conference-expo-ace19/) about how we implemented live streaming at MPI’s ACE19 expo!
## Videos!
Lastly, this goes with much of what we’ve already discussed but we can’t stress enough the importance of collecting as much video content of the event as possible. Video compilations of those celebrity personalities sharing their thoughts about your event can go a long way into improving your PR and advertisements or promotional material in the future. You can read more about the power of videos in marketing [in this article](https://orangephotography.com/tech-trends-emergence-of-video-marketing-and-why-it-has-become-so-powerful/), but in general they’re just very appealing content that attracts the most viewers and engages them the longest.
In addition, try to get some “behind-the-scenes” shots of the event and interactions that happen between the big moments! People are interested with what goes on in those intimate moments so they’ll tune in especially when a celebrity is involved. It’s also just a great way to show the authentic, genuine site to the event, celebrity, and your company.
## Final thoughts
The biggest tip we can give you is to BE PREPARED! Sometimes the appearance only lasts for a half-hour so proper execution is paramount. Due to everyone’s hectic schedule, remember to arrange your celebrity testimonials, PR photos, and any other big moments before the event.
These engagements can seem like a huge undertaking, but they are marketing GOLD. Your event can be a huge hit with the industry professionals and any fans of the celebrity you secured. Make sure you consider every aspect from every point of view so when the day comes, everything will run smoothly and you might actually get to enjoy the event yourself!

### [Video: Practicing Mindfulness with the 'Search Inside Yourself Leadership Institute' (SIYLI)](https://orangephotography.com/video-practicing-mindfulness-with-the-search-inside-yourself-learning-institute-siyli/)
**Published:** November 1, 2019

Orange got to work with the [Search Inside Yourself Leadership Institute](https://siyli.org/) (SIYLI) on a video promoting their program and learn about their approach to creating a more peaceful, connected, and compassionate world.
Back in 2007, Google launched an internal course for its employees to practice mindfulness meditation. It’s now become one of Google’s most popular courses and has a regular waitlist of six months.
The story behind the program is that it helps people not only gain a balanced awareness of what’s happening around them, but to also gain emotional intelligence, which helps people better understand their emotions and relate to themselves and others.
The course has since transformed into a program that teaches “practical mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and leadership tools” to communities around the world.

[](https://orangephotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/SIYLI_3.jpg)
Our shoot took place during one of SIYLI’s programs at the International House in Berkeley, California. It consisted of several interviews with the program leaders, including Teacher Development Manager Brandon Rennels. He spoke about the influence the program had on the communities they served, especially how important it is to bring mindfulness into your daily life so it can uplift the lives of the people around you.
The video crew shot B-roll of the program, interviews with our dedicated sound specialist, and utilized the footage to craft a narrative that illustrated how the program impacted the participants’ day to day professional and personal lives.
What an awesome way to make an impact on the world, we’re lucky to have the opportunity to work with inspiring organizations like SIYLI!

### [Understanding Video Production For Event Planners & Marketers](https://orangephotography.com/understanding-video-production-for-event-planners-marketers/)
**Published:** September 10, 2019
**Author:** jack
**Content:**
You may have noticed the recent trend of videos becoming a more prominent choice for how companies want to market themselves and connect with their audiences. Whether you want to capture a fun and exciting experience or build attendance and sponsorship for future events, adding video production to your package is a great way to promote your message across multiple platforms.
Depending on what you want to capture, there are different levels of production that will meet your needs. Sometimes you just need a camera and microphone to capture an interview, but in other cases it may be beneficial to invest more in the gear and production to make sure the end result showcases your brand in the best light.
Working with any video professional, you can expect a standard level of of gear and production value. That being said, what is considered ‘standard’ will be different from each professional to another. Lucky for you, we will break down the three most used applications of video to help you understand why investing in higher production values for certain cases makes sense for your usage and budget.
Besides the creative and technical talent of the videographer, the four areas that impact the quality of the video the most are: camera/lens, audio, lighting, and time spent in the editing process. Here we’ll discuss these features and also make recommendations for the three types of video engagements that planners/marketers deal with most often.
Lastly, the intended usage of the video is also a critical factor on deciding how much you want to invest in higher-quality production. Any video with an intended purpose of sharing with the general public should have the highest-quality production that the budget allows.
# ## Event Coverage
With the variety of event types and sizes, the scope of what is standard versus recommended for each type can be overwhelming. In short, an experienced producer will be able to guide you through the process of what is ‘essential’ to capture in the event and make additional recommendations on how to produce a higher-quality video.
**Standard**
Typical cameras suitable for standard event coverage can be more compact-sized cameras such as Sony Alpha-series or Panasonic GH5-series, with a variety of lenses to capture b-roll footage, important speeches, and other usual event coverage.
**Recommendations**
Typically, for smaller events, the videographer is capable of capturing the standard key moments of the event. But by adding an assistant with additional gear such as supplementary audio, lighting, gimbals, or more, the variety of shots and the quality of the video goes up a few notches.
# ## Interviews/Testimonials
These types of projects are usually coupled with others such as event coverage, conferences, promotional materials, and more. However, the gear required for this is quite different from the other engagements. It’s also important to understand that having a dedicated videographer who can focus on coaching the subjects in addition to precisely setting up the audio and lighting conditions is a huge factor in producing the highest-quality end product.
**Standard**
Standard equipment for this type of engagement may be a camera such as Canon C200 and with professional lighting equipment to cover a variety of lighting scenarios. In addition, wireless lavalier mics are used to capture the audio since they are small and can be clipped directly onto the subject.
**Recommendations**
By adding an assistant with additional audio capturing capabilities such as a boom mic and second camera angle will make a standard interview shoot more engaging for the viewer.
# ## Keynotes/Documentary
This type of engagement, where we capture a staged presentation as part of a conference keynote or simply an internal presentation for company knowledge, is also generally part of an event coverage engagement. With staged presentations, the audio capture is critical and usually coordinated with the event’s AV team. Accordingly, we usually recommend a different set of gear such as a telephoto lens, cameras with built-in AV connections, and more supplemental gear to properly capture them.
**Standard**
Standard camera set-ups are typically larger cameras such as Canon C200 with XLR inputs that are tethered to the event AV mixing board to capture the audio. In addition, extended telephoto lenses are required to insure a variety of wide & close-up shots of the speaker.
**Recommendations**
Since camera set-ups are usually stationary in this type of engagement, we definitely recommend a second camera angle or a roaming videographer to increase the variety of shots such as crowd reactions, wide views, and more.
This is just an overview that covers a general understanding the levels of production for certain video needs. There’s tons more details that go into creating a project with the right amount of planning and gear. If you’re interested in learning more about your video options, please speak to one of our Orange experts!

### [Ways Event Planners Can Help Photographers Get The Best Results](https://orangephotography.com/ways-event-planners-can-help-photographers-get-the-best-results/)
**Published:** August 21, 2019
**Author:** jack
**Content:**
Often times, when planning an event, you can just hire a photographer and rely on them to do their thing. But there are always ways to help them out so they can position themselves to get the best images out of the event as possible.
After all, getting great shots out of your event is a significant way to drive anticipation for your potential guests. In fact, **the images can turn out to be an essential way in getting potential attendees to commit to your event**. There’s even been some research that shows users may or may not bounce off a website after visiting their event page because they rely on the images to help them understand what to expect from it.
The thing is, these potential guests will rely on images to decide whether or not they want to attend, and past guests will use them to relive their experiences and share them afterwards. Therefore, you want to position your event to tell the story or message that you want! So we came up with this guide to help event organizers get an idea of what event photographers are looking for in order to end up with the best images possible.
## **What is the goal of the photography?**
With this in mind, our pros can figure out how best to capture that to leverage the creativity of our team/the photographer. Here’s some topics you should discuss:
- What kind of shots do you need? This can consist of group photos, candids, establishing shots of building interior/exterior, branding and details, etc.
- How will the shots be used? On the website? as a marketing asset? The clearer you are the easier it is for the photographer to focus on the right subjects and style you’re looking for.
## **Provide them with a schedule and agenda of key moments to capture**
It’s standard practice to give a timeline or agenda for the day so the photographer isn’t running around trying to figure out what’s happening or the subject of focus. The schedule should note the time and locations of key occurrences so your photographer can be in the right spot when they take place.
## Introduce them to the venue
This is so photographers know the key access points, the main areas of activity, and the general structures or decor in the room. This gives the photographer the chance to point out any issues with the environment that they can plan for beforehand. Providing them will a layout or images of the venue is helpful for them to visualize how they want to plan their shots. And if it’s a large event, a quick tour of the venue will also be very beneficial. If it applies, also indicate the designated areas that are restricted and shouldn’t be accessed.
## Indicate specific key individuals or items to be photographed
Sometimes, it’s obvious (the speaker, the honored guest, etc), other times, less obvious (a major donor, a board chairperson, etc.).
Understanding who to focus on will save the photographer a lot of mental energy from figuring it out themselves. Also let them know where the subjects will be entering and exiting from or speaking.
## Setting up the environment
Keep the area free of clutter and distracting items that you’d prefer not to be in the shots. Or if there’s anything specifically you don’t want to be photographed. Verbally express these things to the photographer when they arrive.
Clean up any props or equipment that will be in the shots so they look presentable and put the event in the best light.
**Lighting** – this is biggest factor in putting photographers in the best position to take quality photographs. We usually want to avoid using flash if it’s not a nighttime event because artificial lighting can make the image feel unnatural/too much like a photograph and out of the moment. So try to make sure all of the important areas where there will be speakers are well lit.
> A pro can compensate for lighting but mixed lighting can present challenges. Also just considering lighting as a whole is really important to having great images. The better the lighting is overall, the less the photographer has to do and when there’s nice, even lighting, then photographers can more easily create fantastic images without flash, which can be distracting. – Gene X Hwang
**Lighting types** – You want to avoid mixed lighting as much as possible because this can effect the color balance of images. Fluorescent lighting can be challenging because it changes the tone of skin. Photographers can adjust by changing the white balance settings but it’s preferable to not have to do that unless necessary.
## Organizers
Make sure everyone on the events team knows when the photography will take place so they’ll be on the same page and prepared. And when the photographer arrives, everyone is aware of the plan and can make the best out of the photographer’s time.
## Shotlist
A shot list is a list of the images that you want at the end of the event. It can be pictures of an empty venue, branding materials, candid of guests mingling, the speaker on stage, and so on. This is not always necessary but if you have a vision in mind of the shots you’d like by the end of the event, it’s important to communicate that to the photographer so they’re prepared and make sure to get it.
## Additional information
It’s always helpful to communicate some logistical information to your photographer so everyone’s on the same page. This means how many images you generally expect, the turnaround time, or the amount of retouching needed. Sometimes there are restrictions on individuals who we shouldn’t photograph or if there’s a specific dress code other than all black, it’s important to communicate that to your photographer as well.
## Final thoughts
On the photographer side, it’s also our duty to present these questions before the event takes place. We always ask our clients to fill out a survey prior to the event to get a general idea of what they’re envisioning.
While it’s important to get the usual posed “grip and grin” shots, it can often get repetitive, therefore trust your photographer’s creativity and you’ll get some lasting shots that you can use for a long time!

### [Tips for Running a Smooth Meet and Greet](https://orangephotography.com/tips-for-running-a-smooth-meet-and-greet/)
**Published:** July 18, 2019
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Meet and greets are popular photo ops that we’re hired to do and often have a lot of intricacies that are key to making sure they run smoothly and efficiently. Depending on the type of person or group that the meet and greet is with, there may be rules put in place by the talent but often things are a bit more loose. However, to have the best experience for both the talent and the guests, here’s some wisdom we wanted to share to help you have the smoothest experience at your next meet and greet!
You may be thinking, what happens at meet and greets? Often when we’ve done high profile meet and greets with Presidents, Oscar winners or rock stars, there are a lot of rules and restrictions put in place and most of these are to insure that things move along smoothly and without incident. Having a team set up with the right people doing the right roles can also help a lot and understaffing the overall team can create issues.
However, things start even before you get to the actual meet and greet by identifying all of the logistical elements. Often, you may be set up backstage or in a specific area near where the keynote, concert or such activity is happening. You want to make sure that you know what’s most important for the meet and greet such as, “is this more of a photo op than an actual ‘meet and greet’ ?” Usually, though they’re called ‘meet and greets’, they’re really more of a photo op. If that’s the case, then usually it’s super important that the flow is smooth and the line can keep moving.
Factors you should consider include:
1. **Does that talent have any restrictions?** (for instance, some do not like touching, and as such, you want to make sure the guests are aware of that up front and don’t make the talent feel uncomfortable). Other restrictions could include lighting (are they ok with flash or do they prefer not – in this case, this would affect the type of lighting that would be needed to professionally light things), or what side they prefer (some talent is particular to be shot only from their right or left – this can impact where the line forms and which way people approach the meet and greet).
2. For staffing, if there is a line forming, you often **want to have someone up front letting people know what’s going to happen** (this is especially important on bigger meet and greets with limited timing to make sure the line moves quickly). This person can make sure guests take off badges, hold purses, and let the guests know to not touch the talent (if that is the case) and to not ask to take a selfie or use their own phones (unless it’s one of the fun meet and greets with Shaquille O’Neal – he’ll take the guests phone and take a selfie since he’s so tall it’s always a flattering angle and is actually a specific thing you can hire him for). People asking to take a selfie after the ‘official’ shot can slow things down tremendously and often talent have clauses for **‘no selfies’** in their contracts.
3. Related to the ‘no selfies’ aspect is talking to the talent and team about **how to expedite processes**. It’s not uncommon for guests to want to talk even more to the talent and they are often wanting to be nice and not cut off the discussion. In these cases it’s good to **identify who is to be the ‘bad guy/girl’** and to cut off those conversations. As photographers, we’re often tasked to do this, which is fine, but often there is a staff member whose job is to expedite and curtail those type of overly gushing fan moments.
4. On the back end of the line it’s important to have **worked out the logistics of how people are leaving**. Do they go to some place where their badges/purses, etc. were dropped off or if it’s a more high touch meet and greet perhaps someone grabs the items from the person they dropped it off with originally so they can grab them on the way out.
5. Other things to account for up front include **what the backdrop will be** (based on how many people will be in each shot, you want to account for how wide the backdrop should be). Additionally if you have tall talent (like when doing the NBA All-Star game or Warriors championship events) you may want to consider the height of the backdrop as well.
Hopefully these tips can help you when you have your next meet and greet. We’ve done so many of these and it gets uncomfortable for talent when many of these details haven’t been worked out up front. It can be awkward and slow things down without having taken into account many of these details (and many more, but here we’re more focused on ones that affect the actual meet and greet (M&G) experience itself. If you’re having one that you’d like us to work, there are other elements to take into account if, for instance, you want to offer a signed photo of the M&G image(s) and need to be coordinated way up front.
We’d be happy to talk to you about your next meet and greet and how we can help make sure it’s the most efficient and fun one for you and your guests!

### [Facial Recognition Technology at Intel's Award Reception](https://orangephotography.com/facial-recognition-technology-at-intels-award-reception/)
**Published:** June 24, 2019
**Author:** jack

Event photography can either be a great asset or a big headache for organizations because guests will want to find every single photo of themselves or something they saw during the event. Enter facial recognition technology, an easy-to-use system that saves guests time and allows them to conveniently retrieve their photos, providing a seamless event photography experience.
At Intel’s 2019 Legends and Luminaries award reception, Orange implemented this turnkey solution to help guests find their photos immediately instead of searching through thousands of images in a gallery. At this internal event of over 300 guests that spanned two days across three venues, we were excited to assemble over eight of our professional photographers, including our co-founder Jack Huynh, to capture the memories and moments that brought together Intel’s most distinguished members to celebrate their achievements.
With this application, there is virtually no additional gear or work for our photographers. We shoot our photos of the event, upload them to our online gallery, and implement the facial recognition software that automatically selects and collects all images that contain a specific face. After signing up to use the feature, guests are then instantly notified when a photo with their face is uploaded.
The technology is awesome because of the seamless ease of access to personalized photos. It’s a convenient way for guests to enjoy events and remove the pain point of having to search for photos without scrolling through a huge gallery and instead, just remember how much fun they had. With this technology, guests can even find photos where they’re all the way in the background, and it can still detect their face. It’s a fun, user-friendly service that impresses guests and has them talking about the event afterwards!
We had an amazing experience collaborating with Intel and [Big Insights Events](https://biginsightmarketing.com/) at Legends and Luminaries 2019. The production inspired us to perform at our best to match the level of the occasion, so we were delighted to find that they were thrilled with the results and we’re looking forward to collaborating with them in the future!

### [2019 MPINCC Gala at the Hibernia!](https://orangephotography.com/2019-mpincc-gala-at-the-hibernia/)
**Published:** June 13, 2019
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
We had so much fun at the 2019 [MPINCC](https://www.mpiweb.org/chapters/northern-california) Gala and Silent Auction at [The Hibernia](https://www.thehiberniabanksf.com/) this week and it was such an amazing event! While we endured near 100 degree temperatures in the city The Hibernia stayed cool inside even with all the heat brought by a who’s who of industry names!
Here’s a great recap on the event by MPINCC Gala Committee Chair Joel Costa:
*Glamour. Fashion. Spectacle: Three words that best describe Gala 2019. On June 11, MPINCC chapter members and their industry colleagues enjoyed a memorable evening under the dazzling dome of venue partner, The Hibernia San Francisco, and sponsored by Levi’s Stadium. Inspired by the nightlife of the disco era, this year’s event featured a glamorous reception and silent auction hosted by [Visit Oakland](https://www.visitoakland.com/), and a sumptuous dinner served by [49 Square Events](https://www.49sqcatering.com/), paired with delicious wines carefully chosen by [Wine Country Destinations](http://www.winecountrydestinations.com/).*
*The highlight of the night included award presentations to MPINCC members for their contributions during the past year of “Your Chapter, Your Story.” In a glamorous stage show presented by [Media Solutions, Inc.](https://msieventproductions.com) Some of the prestigious awards included, “The Spire Award,” “Hall of Fame”, “Tomorrow’s Leader” and “Partner of the Year.” Volunteers were also recognized for their dedication and commitment to the many events and activities held since the last gala.*
*After the awards dinner, the lure of the disco beat could not be resisted by many who enjoyed the After Party, hosted by [MGM Resorts International](https://www.mgmresorts.com). Heating up the dance floor in the basement vaults, Gala attendees experienced a taste of a bygone era, as well as a tantalizing dessert selection. It was indeed a fabulous scene for those who stayed and boogied the night away.*

**Published:** March 14, 2019
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
We’re very proud to be part of the [San Francisco Green Business Program](https://sfenvironment.org/green-businesses) which itself is part of the larger [California Green Business Network](https://greenbusinessca.org/). As in past years we’ve sponsored the Green Business Awards where other businesses that fulfill the requirements are awarded their designations. [Being green](https://greenbiztracker.org/business/details/SanFrancisco/OrangePhotography) has been an important part of our studio since our inception in 2001 and we continue to strive to improve and eventually become a [Certified Benefit Corporation](https://bcorporation.net/).
This years event was at the [California Academy of Sciences](https://www.calacademy.org/), the world’s first LEED Double Platinum museum—and the largest Double Platinum building in the world. It’s always a fun place to shoot and of course a perfect fit for the awards program.
We try to support other green businesses and it’s great that so many new businesses are stepping up and doing what they can to be green. This was the 13th annual event and it was awesome to see companies we already love like [Noise Pop](https://www.noisepop.com/), [Glide](https://www.glide.org/), [ForeFront Power](https://www.forefrontpower.com/), [Asana](https://www.asana.com/) and [Allbirds](https://www.allbirds.com/) getting their recognition here this year.

### [A look at the NYSE San Francisco](https://orangephotography.com/a-look-at-the-nyse-san-francisco/)
**Published:** March 13, 2019
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
One of the things that’s fun about our jobs as photographers is getting to experience and see things you might otherwise not get access to. One of those things happened this week as we covered the opening day of the new trading floor for the New York Stock Exchange in San Francisco.
Having seen many scenes from the original trading floor in New York, it was interesting to go check out the SF floor. There’s a variety of roles that people fulfill and [this article in *Business Insider*](https://www.businessinsider.com/what-a-nyse-floor-broker-does-2013-3) does a good job of explaining the difference between floor brokers, specialists and designated market-makers (DMMs). We were there towards the end of the trading day so got to be there for the closing bell.

### [The Exploratorium's Elementary showcase](https://orangephotography.com/the-exploratoriums-elementary-showcase/)
**Published:** February 19, 2019
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Last week was a blast as it was the [Exploratorium](https://www.exploratorium.edu/)‘s Elementary showcase event. Being involved in the events world one of the fun things is collaborating with fellow venues, caterers, florist and other vendors on events. When there’s an industry showcase type event it’s even more fun often because vendors often showcase some of their most innovative and new products or services so you can often see some trends of what will be happening throughout the year. Elementary was no different and with a large venue with so much diversity as the Exploratorium, there was a lot to be seen and experienced! Here’s a few highlights of things we captured but even more was going on.

### [Social media portraits and getting the most out of your headshots](https://orangephotography.com/social-media-portraits/)
**Published:** March 1, 2017
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
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 and portraits](/headshots-vs-portraits-demystifying-the-confusion/) but here we’ll be talking more about how to leverage your image online with headshots and social media portraits.
One of the most important things to consider is what sites you’re using and what goals you have for them. For example on [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/60433) you most likely want a professional image that is a tighter headshot while a personal twitter account might allow for something more casual and your personal [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/OrangePhotoSF) photo would likely be similar.
If you are representing only yourself, you usually have more leeway than if you are representing a company. Either way your image on social media will be a first impression and it’s key to make a good one! How many times have you been looking on LinkedIn for someone with a specific skillset and found a person with a blurry headshot? Probably doesn’t instill confidence does it? Or if someone has an portrait that looks dated, and you end up meeting up and they are 10 years older it can be a bit shocking so it’s also key to stay up-to-date with your photos.
As [noted in Forbes last year](https://www.forbes.com/sites/kateharrison/2016/04/14/how-to-make-sure-your-headshot-matches-your-brand/#2f545c554d41), “a 2012 report from [eMarketer](https://www.emarketer.com/) found that 82% of consumers [trust a company more](http://www.forbes.com/sites/brentgleeson/2012/10/31/6-ways-brands-build-trust-through-social-media/#5ba2f1cb3a12) — and 77 % are more likely to buy from a company — if the founder uses social media.” That’s from 2012, but still applies now, if not more and almost everyone is on some form of social media.
We’ve been shooting both portraits and headshots for years and have a good idea of what works, but it’s also important to project an image that **you** want to present. We’ll work with you to create those looks collaboratively so you can have a social media portrait or headshot that works for you.
Once you have new photos, it’s key to determine if you want to use different images for different sites or just one for everything. The benefit to using a single one is that it’s consistent, but there may be places you want something more fun and relaxed vs. what your company may want to present you as.
As we’ve mentioned before, for LinkedIn, you really want a tight headshot – from the shoulders up is ideal since it’s a small thumbnail and doesn’t really have a way to get enlarged, so you want people to know what you look like. On other sites like [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/orangephoto/) and Facebook, for your own profile image feel free to use whatever you like if it’s just your personal account. Some people actually have a company account, personal account, and professional-industry-personal account where their personal one is locked down and just for friends. If you choose to do that you can and will want different images for each one. Similarly if you want to use a professional shot on a dating app like [Tinder](https://www.gotinder.com/) you might choose something more fun and expressive of your personality.
We use a tight crop in our email signatures similar to what you’d see on LinkedIn. This is another key place where an image makes things more personal. People like working with people they know and like and when you are doing outreach, it is nice to immediately have a face to put a name to. An example of our email signature is shown below:
There are tons of other places where it’s important to control your image and you should leverage the professional social media portraits or headshots you take in all of them. For example if you are on discussion forums or making comments on other blogs you should have your image linked to your profiles there as well.
Don’t forget to [check out these tips on how to best prepare for your shoot](/bestpractices/headshots/) or if you’d like to get some general tips on how to take the perfect portrait [here’s a great article on PhotographyTalk](https://www.photographytalk.com/photography-articles/7512-a-guide-to-the-perfect-portrait)!

### [Polacon 2018: An Instant Film Convention #Polacon3](https://orangephotography.com/polacon-2018-an-instant-film-convention-polacon3/)
**Published:** October 1, 2018
**Author:** gene x
**Excerpt:** a review of Polacon 2018 a gathering put on by the Instant Film Society featuring instant photography of all sorts from polaroids to tin types.
**Content:**
Last year I heard about Polacon, the conference/convention for instant film enthusiasts who like to shoot Polaroid or similar instant films. I think I heard of it as it was happening so of course wasn’t able to make it but wanted to check it out so was about to make it to the third edition this past weekend.
Polacon is the creation of the [Instant Film Society](http://instantfilmsociety.com), which was founded in 2012 by Daniel Rodrigue and Justin Goode. Initially they had a #Polawalk (a photo walk but shooting instant film instead of just digital or phone pix, etc.) at the Texas State Fair and that was something that kept growing, so in 2016 they hosted the first Polacon with about 120 or so folks attending and in 2017 at the second one they had at least double that attendance (they didn’t really track things in super detail at first so those were just the number of people who had registered and showed up while many people stumble across it or just show up and participate).
I’m not sure how many people were there this year, but it was a mix of newbies like myself and veterans who had been to many of either the Polawalks and/or the actual Polacon as well. My first event was a meetup at the [Deep Ellum Art Co.](https://deepellumart.co/) where people gathered before doing a mini Polawalk on the way to the [Texas State Fair](https://bigtex.com/). The weather was just right – not too hot and clear – so I was thankful since it wasn’t raining as it has in past years, and also wasn’t too humid since I’m now not accustomed to that any more. It was the opening day for the Texas State Fair, and like you might expect, it is a big affair!
From the iconic [Big Tex](https://bigtex.com/about-us/big-tex/), to truck pavilions, live animals, musical acts and the midway there is definitely something for everyone there (alas, I did not see any pinball though!).

> A post shared by [ Instant Film Society](https://www.instagram.com/instantfilmsociety/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_medium=loading) (@instantfilmsociety) on Sep 28, 2018 at 4:57pm PDT
One of the fun activities was a group shot (which I of course missed while trying to get a shot I was excited about, which, alas, didn’t quite come out how I wanted) and [a scavenger hunt](https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/statefairpolawalkscavengerhunt/) which [I participated in](https://www.instagram.com/p/BoUR_r9BBid/). It was fun to see the different cameras people had, the different styles of shooting and the different ways people would see things and photograph them.
On day 2, Saturday, things moved to Denton, TX and I wasn’t able to catch the morning Polawalk but there were many seminars at the [Norman Roscoe](https://www.normanroscoe.com/) pop-up shop in the old Evers Hardware building as well as over at the [Denton Camera Exchange](https://www.facebook.com/pg/dentoncameraexchange).
[A full list of seminars is posted online](https://www.instagram.com/p/BoTzVj0FA4c/) but included things like *Mobile Tintype Studio Tour, Demo & Talk*, *Using Natural Light For Portraits (w/ FP100C)*, *Ins-and-outs of I-Type OneStep+, OneStep 2, I-1* and *Instax Pro-Tips & Best Practices Panel Discussion*. And of course in the evening were more Polawalks and an after party with live music at Denton Camera Exchange where folks could loosen up and socialize more (and of course take more photos too!).
Sunday was the third and final day of Polacon and had even more amazing demos and discussions. I caught the tail end of Erin & Steve Reeve’s presentation and got to walk inside the crazy trailer that [Ian Kasnoff](https://www.instagram.com/iankasnoff/?hl=en) built to take photos – the ‘big’ glass it’s got is a Nikon 1250mm f12.5 lens and it takes amazingly sharp and huge images!
[Project Barbatype](http://www.projectbarbatype.com/) was the final demo and showcased their mobile tintype setup and even had a camera mounted inside the mini-darkroom which was pretty sweet to check out! For those in the special events world, this is a pretty cool thing to have and we had something similar at our photo booth party years ago at the General’s Residence at Fort Mason.
One of the best things about the weekend overall was the new connections and friends made, and for me personally, the creative spark I needed to kickstart my Polaroid Diptych Project which has been languishing for a while. I am doing my PRIME47 series now which is fun (basically, a Polaroid a day for a year), but the Polaroid Diptych Project is a longer term project which I shared and re-started back up over the weekend.
Sometimes you need some sort of inspiration to push you forward and Polacon did that for me! Appropriately, here’s the shot I took to re-start the project and I didn’t even prompt the caption 🙂

### [Happy Hour at the Hibernia](https://orangephotography.com/happy-hour-at-the-hibernia/)
**Published:** August 27, 2018
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
The Main Banking Hall at the Hibernia.
As we approached [The Hibernia](https://www.thehiberniabanksf.com/) at 1 Jones Street, I knew instantly that we were in for a treat. If you have spent any time in the city you’ll surely recognize the exterior of this San Francisco landmark. A few of us from Orange Photography were there to scope out this new event space. Orange was also one of the sponsors for this event so our cofounder [Gene](https://www.instagram.com/genex/) was there to capture the fun. It was quite an experience from beginning to end.
In 1892 the *Hibernia Savings and Loan Society* built their Beaux-Art headquarters at 1 Jones, commonly known as the Hibernia Bank Building. After experiencing only minor damages in the 1906 earthquake and fire, the Hibernia Bank Building remained open until 1985. The Hibernia went unused from 1985 until 2016 when restorations began.
Once renovations were complete, the Hibernia reopened in 2017 and is now being offered as an event rental space.
The fine folks at the Hibernia have divided the 42,000 square foot space into 3 sections: the [Main Banking Hall](https://www.thehiberniabanksf.com/main-banking-hall/), the [Lower Level](https://www.thehiberniabanksf.com/lower-level/) and the [Penthouse](https://www.thehiberniabanksf.com/the-penthouse/)— which is where the event that we attended was held.
Entertainment by Circosphere.
We walked up to the Hibernia a little after 4 pm for an events industry Happy Hour. We were greeted at the entrance and led up the red-carpeted stairs. I particularly enjoyed the “red carpet experience” which is something you can add-on to your own event at this venue (Red Carpet provided by [Bright Event Rentals](https://bright.com/)). Once up the stairs we found ourselves inside the Rotunda Lobby where a band welcomed us. It really set the scene for a fun and lively event and undoubtedly made us feel very welcome.
We proceeded inside to the Main Banking Hall and I for one was completely in awe of the space. It was absolutely beautiful inside and the vastness was quite profound. There inside the Main Banking Hall we also got to enjoy some entertainment by [Circosphere](https://www.circosphere.com/).
We were directed toward the elevator and went up to the top floor. There was an indoor loft space with plenty of room for a bar, several small tables plus a beautiful spread catered by [La Bonne Cuisine](http://www.labonnecuisine.com/).
DJ Airsun with Love in the Mix.
But the best was yet to come… the real show-stopper was the rooftop deck. Although it was a particularly dark and cloudy day– even for San Francisco– it was surprisingly warm atop the roof deck.
The space was great– stellar views of the skyline, tucked between several brick buildings and right next to the exterior of the rotunda that you can see from the street.
We took in the views while enjoying drinks by [Tonic Beverage Catering](http://tonicbeveragecatering.com/), more food by [Foxtail Catering](http://www.foxtailcatering.com/) and Music by [DJ Airsun](https://www.instagram.com/djairsun/?hl=en) with [Love in the Mix](https://www.loveinthemix.com/).
We were pleasantly surprised to discover that we could actually go *inside* the rotunda! Once inside, we discovered a ball pit photo booth by [SnapFiesta](https://snapfiesta.com/) which was such a fun and interesting use of the space.
Photo booth by SnapFiesta.
Overall the event was definitely one to remember. What really set it apart was the spectacular and diverse Penthouse space including 3 different and unique areas– the roof deck, the loft space and the rotunda. I look forward to the next opportunity to visit the Hibernia again!
The Hibernia will be offering customizable happy hour events like this one for 2-3 hour slots with a DJ included. A great alternative to your typical afterwork happy hour and perfect for company parties. For Penthouse Happy Hour packages please reach out to Patricia at .

### [Environmental Portraits and building custom stock libraries](https://orangephotography.com/environmental-portraits-and-building-custom-stock-libraries/)
**Published:** May 16, 2018
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
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 over the images you have on hand to use means that you’ll have to spend less time looking for something and you’ll have the peace of mind that the same image won’t be used somewhere else or even on a competitors marketing pieces.
A lot of the environmental portraits we’ve been taking have been part of building out larger custom stock libraries and have been a lot of fun to shoot. The employees we’ve found also enjoy it as it’s a time to sort of be a star and have some fun with figuring out what kind of shots to get.
Often these environmental portraits are created to showcase personality – both that of the company as well as that of the subject we’re photographing. For them it also can be another image they can share via their personal social media outlets as it’s something pretty fun that isn’t part of a typical days work (well, for most people, at least).
If you’re interested in creating some environmental portraits for your team and/or building out a custom stock library for your business, [let us know](/contact/)! We would love to collaborate with you!

We’ve all seen them in our social media feeds. Bright colors. Graphically intense scenes. Bold designs. From [Color Factory](http://www.colorfactory.co/) to [29 Rooms](http://www.refinery29.com/29rooms/) to the [Museum of Ice Cream](https://www.museumoficecream.com/), these Instagram-centric experiences have been popular over the last couple of years and events have been leveraging these type of experiences more and more to extend brands and social media reach.
We’ve done several of these for our clients and our original one may have been the sideways photo booth which started out as just a fun party idea and was implemented for the Facebook design team and still stands at their offices. We love collaborating with our clients on ideas for photo booth installs or just unique experiences or activations. Inspiration can come from the fine arts like Yayoi Kusama’s [Mirror Room](https://hirshhorn.si.edu/kusama/infinity-rooms/) or the [Rain Room](https://www.moma.org/calendar/exhibitions/1352), the band OK Go, or whatever other awesome ideas you come up with. Here’s some of the more fun ones we’ve done to give you some ideas too!

As part of our [Giving Back program](/aboutus/givingback/), we’ve been associated with [First Exposures](https://www.firstexposures.org/) for years and it’s one of our favorite non-profits. Last night was the 9th [Looking Forward, Giving Back fundraiser](https://tides.ejoinme.org/fxlfgb18) held at [SOMArts](http://www.somarts.org/) and also a celebration of 25 years of the program!
We once again donated a photo booth for the event, and one of our co-founders, Gene X Hwang has been mentoring for years and recently joined the Board of Directors as well. The evening was packed with art fans, photography appreciators, supporters of the arts and more. Over 100 pieces were hung and everything sold so it was a great success. Here’s a few of the fun photos taken in the photo booth. If you’d like to donate to this great cause, you can [donate online here](https://donatenow.networkforgood.org/1442189)!

One of the wonderful things we get to experience in our industry is seeing and experiencing other creative event professionals. We usually get to see everyone at the event working hard and only get to see the final presentation which is why we jumped at the chance to join our partners at [The Pearl](http://thepearlsf.com/) to go photograph some behind the scenes of the lovely chefs and food at [Melons Catering](http://www.melonscatering.com/).
They showcased a few of their specialties, Agnolotti Pasta, Chocolate Rhubarb Truffles, Vanilla Macarons, and an assortment of in house cured meats (the pride and joy of the chef). While walking through, learning and tasting amazing food we also photographed some Slider Buns baking and Cranberry Beans being shelled by hand. The attention to detail at their South San Francisco location is amazing, almost amazing as everything smelled!
Here is the Agnolotti Pasta being made, which is usually used for their Butternut Squash Ravioli. Each step is taken with such care but with the speed of an expert (we actually had to tell him to slow down for the photos)!
      
These lovely little gems are the Chocolate Rhubarb Truffles which smelled amazing and looked quite fun to make!
  
We were shown all of the steps on how to make Vanilla Macarons and the precision involved.
     
They built an entire room to cure their own meats and it is lovely (and delicious!).

### [Introducing our new Augmented Reality Photo Booth](https://orangephotography.com/augmented-reality-photo-booth/)
**Published:** March 7, 2018
**Author:** jack
**Content:**
We’re excited to offer another innovative photo booth experience to capitalize on the Augmented Reality phenomenon. This small footprint experience is perfect for events that want to maximize video based sharing and themes.
The Augmented Reality Photo Booth wows guests as their image is augmented with virtual 3D props over a large-screen display. The guests interact and control the experience using hand gestures to create an cool video/photo keepsake.
## Notable features include
- Detect up to 6 simultaneous participants
- Dozens of augmented 3d props built in
- Support of custom 3D props
- Supports custom branded overlays
- Automatic Background removed without green screen backdrop
- Support multiple photo and video backgrounds
## How It Works
The guests stand in front of the open air photo booth and watch themselves appear on a large monitor. Instantly, random 3D props are loaded onto the screen, where the guest is able to move and interact with the props as if they are real objects.
The guest is able to switch through the random props by raising their right hand above their head. The Augmented Reality Booth also utilizes a new technology that allows the user to remove and replace the background without the need of a physical green screen backdrop. Guests can position themselves anywhere in the world with virtual props on them!
When the guest is ready take their photo, they simply raise their left hand and motion to select the camera or video icon. A memorable Augmented Reality photo can then be printed, emailed, or shared to social media using a third-party app.

### [Conference Photography Services - what you need to know...](https://orangephotography.com/conference-photography-services/)
**Published:** December 20, 2017
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
As a conference photography services agency, we’ve shot hundreds of conferences and conventions over the years. Through all that experience we’ve gained a lot of insight into how to maximize your budget and impact for any photography and video you might want of your event.
First and foremost you need to **know what your goals for your conference photography or video are**. With these goals in mind it makes it much easier to determine what amount of coverage and what type of coverage you might need.
For example, do you want to create snippets and video clips showing people having a great time at your event? Or maybe something showcasing some of the unique opportunities your conference has over others? Or maybe something that’s more FOMO-related to tease people about what they don’t wanna miss out on?
Knowing what the goals of the photography and video are is important but almost as important is figuring out how to capture and create that. We often collaborate with our clients to brainstorm ideas. Is the conference the type where people want to hear from other attendees about what they got out of it? Is it more an experiential thing where showing off the experiences matters more?
All of these things will help you make sure to plan and get the best from your conference photography services.
Also if we will be working with a social media or marketing team there may need to be certain shots that allow negative space for putting logos or type on. This is good information to have up front.
In the end the best practice really is to **have an idea of what your end usage** is and then collaborating together to make sure everything will be accounted for to maximize your photography and video budgets.

24-hour Pinball Battle Charity Fundraiser for UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals – The Myriad, SF, CA, USA
This past weekend we were proud to be a part of a fantastic event as part of our Giving Back program. We raised over $2300 during the [Extra Life Gaming Marathon](https://www.extra-life.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=donordrive.event&eventID=534) (so almost $100/hour) which supports [Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals](https://childrensmiraclenetworkhospitals.org/?gclid=Cj0KCQiA84rQBRDCARIsAPO8RFz5NPNs_cCgeWNCrXpyXLOK1h8wWvkSDyquIL-_infdiuP1l_jq5xQaAkgrEALw_wcB). Our local hospitals that it benefits include the UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals in Oakland and San Francisco. We’ve [worked the SF hospital previously to get a Stern Star Trek pinball put into their teen lounge](https://orangephotography.com/project-pinball-at-ucsf-benioff-childrens-hospital/) as part of [Project Pinball](http://projectpinball.org/) so it was great to support them once again!
“I am so pleased to have seen the local pinball community – and even out-of-state participants and donors too – come together to support what I know from my work with children at UCSF to be a very worthwhile cause. The event was an all-around success, with fun all around, and the children at Bay Area UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals getting support from pinball gamers and the many donors who pledged their support to the kids.” Andrei Massenkoff, the 2011 PAPA pinball world champion said.
Massenkoff also works at the San Francisco hospital and has been integral to getting the event going.
While he couldn’t play the marathon, other players were somewhat relieved to know that such a highly ranked player wouldn’t be around to beat them up for 24-hours straight. In all seriousness though, the pinball tournament was quite fun for all 33 participants. During the last few hours some loopiness set in due to the nature of having to play pinball for that long, but the participants managed to do what was needed to survive and [The Myriad](http://themyriad.com/) provided plenty of food and drink options to keep players fueled up.
As the sun rose up and the tournament wrapped up, participants talked about doing it again next year so we will see if that is something we can do again and grow. For now, it’s time to rest! Below are more photos from the event!

### [New Rainbow (Unicorn) Shadows Photo Booth!](https://orangephotography.com/rainbow-unicorn-shadows-photo-booth/)
**Published:** October 18, 2017
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Like our [CMYK Photo Booth](https://orangephotography.com/new-cmyk-booth/), the Rainbow Shadows Photo Booth we now offer is also colorful and goes beyond just our subject and backdrop. In this setup, we combine three different color gels on three different strobes for this fun effect. With a large white backdrop to project large multi-colored shadows, your subjects and their shadows will always stand out. Different poses cause the shadows to overlap in unique ways, making for endless possibilities (as you can see in the test shots with our team below)!
By sticking to key color combinations, the colors will cancel each other out on the illuminated parts of the image, such as the subject and the majority of the backdrop. However, the subject’s shadows always get filled in by multiple colored light sources.
With this in mind, rearranging these colors can create several looks and tones that can suit your next event!
Animate this effect for a more interactive experience! We sometimes call this the Unicorn Shadow effect – [get in touch](/contact/) and play with it at your next event.

### [It's Polaroid Week - and what is a Polaroid exactly?](https://orangephotography.com/its-polaroid-week-and-what-is-a-polaroid-exactly-polaroidweek/)
**Published:** October 16, 2017
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Instant photography was a popular thing a while back but has recently picked up in popularity and it’s been something we’ve been doing for clients for quite some time. Of course we’re lucky that [Polaroid Originals](https://us.polaroidoriginals.com) (formerly the Impossible Project) has been fighting the good fight to keep actual Polaroid format film alive, but Fuji has also been supporting instant photography with it’s [Instax](http://instax.com/) films as well (which just recently began offering square formats just like the original Polaroids).
Often times people think of Polaroid and instant photography as the same thing but we wanted to clear up some of the differences since it’s Polaroid Week this week!
Polaroid of course is the [iconic American company that Edward Land](http://www.wired.co.uk/article/polaroid-week-roundup), the Steve Jobs of his time, made famous. The SX-70 was perhaps the most famous Polaroid but there were many models made through the years. The shape of the Polaroid print is also quite iconic and is well known to most. Even the original Instagram logo took homage to Polaroid as well as the many filters that made digital photos look more like an original Polaroid print.
Fuji Instax is a different format altogether and has different shapes for their film. Instax shots are often more crisp and represent color more accurately compared to Polaroids which often have a more soft, warm & ethereal feel to them. [Gizmodo has a recent write up](https://gizmodo.com/polaroids-new-instant-camera-takes-terrible-retro-photo-1819006906?utm_medium=sharefromsite&utm_source=Gizmodo_twitter) of the new film and camera that Polaroid Originals is coming out with that discusses this.
If you are looking to have instant photography at your event you should first ask yourself **what the goals are of the images**. If you want crisp, sharp images with true-to-life colors then you might just want digital photography with on-site printing, but if you are looking to have a real one-of-a-kind print, then only actual Polaroids or Fuji instax are the better fit.
If you want people to be able to take phone photos and print them to actual analog prints, we can do Instax and/or Polaroid prints (which cost more than digital prints). If you would like digital prints we can offer an Instagram station to print whatever is hashtagged a certain tag to be printed digitally as well. There’s basically a ton of ways to mix it up depending on what you want your final product(s) to be and what the goals are of the images. Just [reach out to our team](/contact/) and we can advise you on the best options for the goals of your event. There’s something at every budget level but it’s important to be clear on what you are getting and what you want to get out of it.
Below are some examples of different film types so you can have an idea of what the final products are (as well as a digital photo for comparison)

**Published:** August 26, 2017
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
We have been very busy tinkering in the studio to create and showcase some new, and colorful, photo booth ideas this year! Here is one of our first successes we lovingly call our CMYK Photo Booth. The customization options for this booth are crazy exciting!
We are able to set up the booth with colors to either fit your brand or theme and of course can customize even further with logos. We tried out a few different options with one person, less colors, and multiple people which you can check out below. We hope you are as excited about this amazingly colorful booth as we are and can’t wait to see it in action at a lovely event in the future!
We know everyone loves to take group shots in our booths (because who doesn’t want their friends with them!) so our solution to make this work was to include four images from four separate people.
Before your event we can customize how the booth will look, which colors to use, and how many photos we take to make the final image.

### [Vintage Photo Booth Rental/Camera Build Project](https://orangephotography.com/vintage-photo-booth-rental/)
**Published:** February 8, 2017
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Recently, we have gotten a few requests for vintage-looking cameras or a vintage photo booth rental. We decided it might be a fun project to figure out a way to make this happen. Luckily, I have a handy boyfriend who was able to help out.
To begin, we purchased a decorative vintage-looking camera shell online. It was never a working camera, but was simple in design and had enough room inside to place a small DSLR. The second step was to figure out how to mount the DSLR inside as well as mount the camera on a standard tripod.
We removed the mount that came on the camera and took out the glass back. We purchased a [cheeseplate](https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/688427-REG/Ikan_ELE_PT_ELE_PT_Cheese_Plate.html) to act as the new tripod mount and used an old[ flash mount ](https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/158078-REG/Nikon_3071_Bracket_SK_7_for_SU_4.html)we weren’t using as the main slider for the camera. This way it can be moved back and forth depending on focal length. Assorted washers, bolts, screws, and a threaded rod would be used to place the flash mount inside the bellows of the camera. 
Since the camera was originally just a decorative piece, we made it a bit more sturdy by replacing the thumbscrews, that allowed it to open and close, with an actual screws and washers.
We then cut the bottom of the bellows for easier access inside the camera and to give us room to float the camera mount inside. We cut the threaded rod and bolted it to the existing flash mount.
We cut a second rod to place at the back of the flash mount, so the camera would be braced in two places. We then placed the mount inside of the bellows to see where the bolts met the wooden bottom of the camera base. We marked where to drill from there.
Finally, the mount was inside the bellows and braced to the bottom of the camera in two places. We were able to reach inside and screw the camera onto the mount using the camera screw that was already on there.
Lastly, to secure the front (which was at one time collapsable) we sanded down the varnish and added some wood glue to keep it in place.
We look forward to experimenting with the finished piece and adding a vintage feel to future photo booths! [Contact us](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/contact/) if you are looking for a vintage photo booth rental today!

### [2014 Summer Offsite Retreat](https://orangephotography.com/2014-summer-offsite-retreat/)

[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Off_Site_Retreat_00011.jpg)
Orange Photography is made up of a really hard working group of people. Not only do we have a nationwide network of photographers shooting at any given moment, but there is a full-time team of people working behind the scenes back at the office! One thing I love about Orange is that every summer, the team takes a break from the office for the Summer Offsite Retreat so that everyone can enjoy nature and each other in a more kick-back setting.
This year was my first Orange Summer Retreat, and I was so excited to go that I offered to help be a part of the planning committee. After talking to everyone about what they were hoping for, we decided to have the retreat at The Stone House on Lake Alpine. It had everything we wanted – a lake to kayak in, boulders to climb, tons of paths to hike, a beautiful grill to cook on, firepits and fireplace for keeping us warm and the cutest Stone House which had enough space for all of us so that we could still sleep in real beds!
[The Stone House](http://scenic4.org/the-route/points-of-interest/lake-alpine) was built in 1892 and was originally intended to store the dynamite being used to create the nearby dam. Today it is a private residence and has a few extra rooms. Its very rustic and was absolutely perfect for us. Because it is the only cabin on the entire lake, the nights get perfectly quiet and extremely dark. We had some amazing star gazing our first night there. All of us saw at least one shooting star!
Our second day consisted of hiking, grilling, and barbecuing. A sudden hailstorm midday chased us all inside, but we kept it in stride by playing Catch Phrase, Scattegories and tons of other fun games that kept us laughing all night. We tried to keep the weekend non-work related, but of course topics kept popping up and it was actually really great to be able to discuss new ideas and future plans in such a relaxed, gorgeous setting. Day Three was spent sleeping in and kayaking before we cleaned up the house and headed out.
The thing that is so great about the Orange Team is not only are they all really hard workers and smart people, but they are all such good friends! I am really so pleased to be a part of the team now, and I can’t wait for our next adventure together!

Orange Photography tackled [Super Bowl 50](http://www.sfbaysuperbowl.com/) at [Levi’s Stadium](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/levisstadiumphotobooths/)! Our team had a great time photographing pregame parties at the stadium as well as a bunch of VIP events leading up to the Super Bowl all over the the San Francisco Bay Area.
What a historic event for the Bay Area; there were swarms of fans all over the stadium and the surrounding areas, wearing jerseys, taking selfies and cheering. We brought a team of 18 photographers and assistants who all woke up crazy early to get to our walkthrough on Saturday morning. Then we followed up with successful event coverage on Super Bowl Sunday, photographing football players and VIP guests. We even got to see all of the championship rings from the past 49 years. We were glad to be a part of it! Touchdown!

So I finally made it out to [Yes & Yes Yes](http://www.yesandyesyes.com/), a sort of ‘[un-conference](https://www.google.com/search?q=uncof&oq=uncof&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l5.1313j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#q=unconference)‘, as it will be taking a hiatus so I felt it was time to check it out after hearing so much about it.
I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, having been to hundreds of conferences before (mostly covering them as an event photographer doing [conference photography](/services/event-coverage/)).
In their own words, Yes is:
*A gathering of…*
- ***thinkers/futurists/nerds/weirdos***
- *voracious consumers of and generators of **ideas and information***
- *creatives that like to engage in conversation about their **creative pursuits** & the concepts behind them*
- *people comfortable with & excited about their own **obsessive interest** in their odd corner of the world*
- *people on the path to self-actualization, **self-awareness** and all the goodies that lie therein*
So without any formal/pre-scheduled sessions, how was this gonna work out? And since it’s hot in Palm Springs and there are two pools, was this more a nerd/creative spring break like SxSW had become of late? Well, the last SxSW I went to was in 1990 when [Joe “King” Carrasco](http://www.joeking.com/), [Vic Chesnutt](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vic_Chesnutt), & [Big Head Todd & the Monsters](http://www.bigheadtodd.com/) were the biggest names to play music (and it was only a music festival then IIRC) so I can’t quite compare, but the pool scene was definitely making it feel like a spring break vibe.
However, the many impromptu gatherings and the conversations in the pool actually did hit all the points the founders listed out above.
While it’s not a formal agenda, so if there’s something you want to learn about, you may or may not find it. Most ‘regular’ conferences have tracks or specific goals for learning etc, and at Y&YY it’s more what you bring and share. There are some standy sessions that re-occur each year, I learned but also a lot of stuff that probably relates more to the specific attendees interests etc.
My favorite things were some of the storytelling and talks, which inevitably ended up with discussions afterwards and internal thinking on how those things might apply to your personal and/or work life.
I got inspired by an in-pool conversation that happened quite serendipitously and I think that’s exactly the kind of interactions Y&YY tries to help hatch and foster. I was chilling out on my own just enjoying being in the salt water pool with a slushy beverage. I had posted something to the app and was kinda hanging out in case anyone wanted to engage with that (free postcards!). Unrelated, someone came up and we just started chatting. I’m not sure how we got on the topic since I personally always try never to ask someone “what they do” and don’t really love that question early in meeting someone new.
However, we were talking about creative process and got into some ideas on photo workflow. Turns out my conversation partner was an [artist](http://alexameade.com/) and we bonded over a few things and the conversation went in a variety of directions. Many of the topics got me thinking and stayed with me about pushing myself more on an artistic side. That’s more for personal growth but could also apply to the work with Orange as a photography studio.
There were way too many other conversations, interactions and discussions that came up that helped me reflect upon things and I feel like I got what I needed from the conference. Often times people look for too much out of any experience. I feel that if you get one thing that you can really apply and do, that’s enough. If you get more that’s even better. I certainly had written down many things to follow up on as well.
The pool part is also interesting because, well you are in a pool and that’s fun in itself, but you’re also away from your phone so you have one less distraction. People listen and are more present from that one little factor. You can’t look anything up, you can’t get a notice or text, etc.
I’m excited for the return of Y&YY 006 whenever that may be!

Travel is great for a variety of reasons. While there are drawbacks like the lost time and time away from home, you also get to experience new things, and often get caught up on reading. My last shoot was on location in Seattle for about four days so I finished reading two books on the trip: [Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap… and Others Don’t](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0066620996?ie=UTF8&tag=genex9combodybui&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0066620996) and [Here Comes Everybody: The Power of Organizing Without Organizations](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0143114948?ie=UTF8&tag=genex9combodybui&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0143114948). Turns out I worked with Clay Shirky, the author of the latter book, and the perspective on social media in the book is spot on. We’ve been leveraging a lot of social media including our [Facebook group](http://www.facebook.com/pages/Orange-Photography/47607512551), [twitter account](http://twitter.com/orangephoto), and of course this blog. One of the most resonant learnings from Good to Great was the idea that you first need to get the right people on your bus, and the wrong people off, and how critical the right people are. It sounds so common sense and it is, but so many companies hold on to underperformers and stick with things longer than they need. The best part was that almost all of the traits the good to great companies had, we have and/or are cultivating so we feel like we’re on the right path!

### [Press Release: Just In Time For Earth Day: Orange Goes Green](https://orangephotography.com/press-release-just-in-time-for-earth-day-orange-goes-green/)
**Published:** April 22, 2009
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
*On April 13th 2009 Orange Photography was officially certified “green” by the San Francisco Department of the Environment’s Green Business Program, making them the only recognized “green” photography studio in the city and county of San Francisco.*
**San Francisco, CA ([PRWEB](http://www.prweb.com/)) April 22, 2009 —** On April 13th 2009 Orange Photography was officially certified “green” by the San Francisco Department of the Environment’s [Green Business Program](http://sfgreenbiz.org/other-services/486-orange-photography/view-details/), making them the only recognized “green” photography studio in the city and county of San Francisco.
The process began in 2008 when founders Gene X. Hwang and Jack Huynh applied for their green audit. The criteria included compliance with environmental regulations, conservation efforts, and pollution prevention. They also had to show green initiatives that benefit their employees, clients, community, and the growth of their business. Orange Photography eventually demonstrated:
- 80% of the studio’s employees walk or bike to work
- The Orange workplace is anti-waste and environmentally friendly
- By going green the company has been able to lower costs: examples include green transactions (i.e., online paperless and postage-less billing) and standardized power-save functions at employee workstations.
- Orange Photography’s clients can reduce their event’s environmental impact by providing “digital souvenirs” such as free-image downloads and web slideshows.
“Our photography is cutting edge. We use this same perspective when conducting business and addressing social responsibility as a company,” said Gene X. Hwang
In addition to their green campaign, Orange Photography also has a Social Photography program that has served 60+ non-profit organizations in the Bay Area over the past 8 years.
**About Orange Photography:**
Orange Photography is the largest full service event photography agency and studio based in San Francisco providing corporate, wedding, and lifestyle photography. They have been serving the Bay Area for 8 years, and are located at 1261 Howard Street.

Last night there was this Kelvin–Helmholtz instability (thanks [Chris Noessel](http://www.chrisnoessel.com/)!) that I noticed while walking outside in the unusually balmy weather here in San Francisco. I don’t usually have my camera with me when I’m not shooting since I’ve been shooting so much of late it’s nice to be unencumbered, but it reminds me of a tip for those interested in photography: a lot of great shots are the results of serendipity. Being at the right place at the right time can lead to wonderful photo ops and this was just one such instance.
The real reason I had brought my camera was that I wanted to take some snaps at the [Mates of State](http://www.matesofstate.com/)/[Black Kids](http://www.blackkidsmusic.com/) show, but ultimately only took two shots (one of which is below), since I ended up just enjoying the performances by the two groups…

Thanks to everyone who came out for our annual B2B photo station! I took this shot of a group of revelers who had no problem posing with a friendly old man. He was really cool and I think the photo perfectly depicts the attitude shared by all participants who – for at least one day out of the the year – realize fun sees no social boundaries.

### [AIDS/Lifecycle Report 1](https://orangephotography.com/aidslifecycle-report-1/)
**Published:** June 11, 2009
**Author:** jack
**Content:**
It’s been a little over 5 days since i completed my first AIDS/Lifecycle journey to LA! My body is still recovering from the most exhaustive experience I’ve very completed but mentally, I am already thinking about doing it again next year!
As evident by my facebook updates, the mental ability to deal with something this grueling pretty much outweigh the ‘physical’ challenges. I was ‘lucky’ enough to only walk away with serious neck pain but i know plenty of people that experience knee, neck, and butt sores that disabled them from riding! Undoubtedly, i was most impressed by the variety of body/personality types that took on this challenge. There were no wimps on this ride!
As ambitious as i wanted to be in documenting the experience, the reality of mental and physical exhaustion got the best of me. I probably got the most images on the first day and after that, the compound pain and exhaustion made it increasingly difficult to think about the camera. Luckily, i did have a camera mounted directly on my bike but the results from that camera was inconsistent due to the speed/shaking of the camera.
anyway, i will be updating the gallery piece meal as i continue to edit and produce the 900 something images! [check out the first day set of images here!](http://store.orangephotography.com/acl8)

### [Annenberg Space for Photography](https://orangephotography.com/annenberg-space-for-photography/)

I was down in Los Angeles last week and was able to stop by the newly opened [Annenberg Space for Photography](http://www.annenbergspaceforphotography.org/index.asp). Their site describes it as a place for “celebrating the human condition as seen through the lens of some of the world’s most renowned photographers.” Nice! and how extra nice that admission is free. Exhibits are an interesting combination of prints and digital displays (even in the bathrooms), like flat screens, touch table-tops, and a relaxed theater space showing interviews and profiles of the photographers talking about their featured work. The multimedia presentation provided some great context, especially learning about the creators and getting a feel for their personalities, and I appreciate that the Space is offering up an opportunity for interaction and an enhanced experience with photography. The most major peeve was some of the smaller digital displays seemed out of place and there was technology failure where the videos weren’t projecting properly. In general, I was pleased to see images by photojournalists and fine art photographers featured side-by-side. Looks like photographer/filmmaker [Lauren Greenfield is lecturing May 21st](http://www.annenbergspaceforphotography.org/events/iris_nights.asp#lg) (bummer — all those events are sold out).

[Poladroid](http://www.poladroid.net/) is a ridiculously easy-to-use piece of software that you can download for free. You drag in any image and it spits out a Polaroid-like version in seconds. It weirdly satisfying to use because you see the image “develop” in real-time and it even sets of a satisfying click-a-churn Polaroid camera sound. It’ll add on a random thumbprint, fading, and vignetting to create a similar look. The samples above came out too sharp to fool me completely. I suppose not the same as the magical Real Thing, but not a bad alternative to spruce up your [Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/pages/Orange-Photography/47607512551) profile.

**Published:** May 26, 2009
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Social media has a lot of uses and one thing we’ve created is the “Instant Photo Assignment.” The way it works is quite simple: You just post a [tweet](http://twitter.com/orangephoto) or to your [Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/pages/Orange-Photography/47607512551) status that you are accepting “Instant Photo Assignments” and then people can reply back to you with assignment options. Now, you can take them literally or use them as inspiration to spur your creativity. The first one we did was done on a film camera and the [2nd was shot digitally](http://pulp.orangephotography.com/genex/?p=521) but you can also do them on your iPhone (the current [New Yorker cover was shot via iPhone](http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/AheadoftheCurve/story?id=7666018&page=1) although painted digitally on top of the actual capture).
Try it out if you need a kick start and use the hashtag #IPA if you post them to Twitter so we can also keep track of them and see what else everyone is doing. If you are looking for other photo assignments to stay creative, [Fred Miranda](http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/board/26) has a longstanding one and there are tons more on the web…

Well this semester of mentoring is wrapping up and the final event will be the [zine release party at Adobe Books](http://www.sfcamerawork.org/events/index.php?month=6&d=05&year=2009) on Friday June 5, 2009. I’ve had a great time working with the kids in the program and some of the zines are really neat. The digital class did theirs using digital images and technology with the film class used more analog techniques. All of the zines will be available and I think a limited edition t-shirt will also be on sale at the release party so come by and support First Exposures and the awesome kids in the program!
*Here’s the official invite email from Education Coordinator Erik Auerbach:*
Dear First Exposures friends & supporters,
We are wrapping up our most exciting and adventurous year yet. Much has happened in our program since you last heard from us. This year marked the first year of First Exposures providing two different classes, serving a total of 27 students each semester. Every year we are continually impressed with the creativity and dedication the students bring to our weekly classes, and of course, we can’t forget to mention our invaluable mentors who dedicate so much of their time and energy to our program.
The spring semester opened with the exhibition [*United in Nima*](http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102592924807&s=6108&e=001k6TqOzySrfzww_fBJ_YBZ9DoNmrtuUANut93zQepJJdmUYagXz8CCu4oST6j_p938dtLQL6wsDQ2QmEh39Hz7N-083gpo2DLL8l72pCk_EPFFPeA1ZE_hfQRqfE_4XyNE26Vz4MxTZGpgFiH6bwLBj842bflyq_-WMup0hDxL2BkHep2xj08EA==), which was the culmination of our collaboration with the [Ghana Youth Photo Project](http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102592924807&s=6108&e=001k6TqOzySrfyRYgQ6gBLdFAeaVrzQN64fE8ZZn5nq2mITZHCezav4Gz6fM3IUv57_5Ig87yIZNwImDoMeTzfuOet6Zbui3Nv_zn-HKVVKBOYlQwC0D3DmiQI2PDrecgrf) and trip to Ghana in the summer of 2008. As an extension of the exhibit, many of our students in the Digital Photography class participated in the creation of a multimedia presentation for [Adobe Youth Voices,](http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102592924807&s=6108&e=001k6TqOzySrfzthLKFsjwNiYC4cEjBFUSQkBS0VfG6Zqs8GUyyeBa7FpIIz8Vs_XSmEMh5iH8PKOKbo2y_Mz7C7s0Q4_b3ta8IhqjJ7STSTxRuqaB7Zogfys7bKjJ7NvjGJr-RMJ2nySaX2BX_1cot5-mdAmjUXiyi1mdFVoEA2kf8ZF7Nw9ppJQ==) now on view on [Adobe’s website](http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102592924807&s=6108&e=001k6TqOzySrfzQEx6Zm1yQG9RTNGXa0ZR5RjMQEXLGloeoOYU5n1nqwLmFl3P2UElkHwnoJPXr0ZYvbpzn6V6mhuI_PwOG-gHCozyLPw56HIU7Mn2S4v64qtdOHUjm0hTTeU6uwtIj6gXd5LOagal6j4IC4OFBQnHbZOI4rghHJLw4qYRqjrBXUqiuMTk3cxnCSoHYMHXCSRM=), [YouTube](http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102592924807&s=6108&e=001k6TqOzySrfzYG2oeNR2KE8AlwqKasCH39tRBYZ2VXXvXOWWD8JncslExOlYcB15Xiu1GKcAcMPJy7ocIAt0SJ1oFNhQoFYEtheK755AI5Ca8iesxTZJjez0GfDdt_S4qN0RKNvN561wEXo4tGig9Rg==), and [SF Camerawork’s website](http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102592924807&s=6108&e=001k6TqOzySrfy7HFnoEcbY2tOUySvnw025txZBpCIbwX__MwgqNuIWMaMb2AP954ODC_-HJAL0T-a9LtS3fdwsCDQCigIctsiVziHBqPyj7cQS5UbKN7m5AtY1g1N1lnAs2e2qMaC_ycHKl7_q5MqU5rDBAmUo_1wdwvfdgAQWyK2I9fjqSIDaXA==). Please have a look if you haven’t yet seen it; it’s pretty spectacular! Several of our students also had their photography included in some outside exhibitions on both sides of the Bay this spring.
As part of our mission to expose students to different artists, we enjoyed a number of field trips to various galleries and museums this spring. We had the pleasure of hosting several guest artists, including former Black Panther Party Minister of Culture Emory Douglas, who spent the better part of a day inspiring our students with his imagery and stories.
Our main project for the year focused on exploring alternative forms of publishing: students created their own ‘zines (handmade magazines), which will be shared with the public and on display at [Adobe Books](http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102592924807&s=6108&e=001k6TqOzySrfzjlC6bPcxwztH6Hx6u8HsiBMMoBjytlYRqHzirhkAZLDfZ2L5LX-pStDvVeQCltSyudIVwCzeMitT3F34QPP6sDEkA1D5ABceU2DmS4p5LvnPlKj__JQ4imSsHTj10tyhBtH6E8EM8lg==). The opening celebration will take place on June 5th from 5 – 7 pm. We will also be premiering the all new, super cool **First Exposures t-shirts** to help support the program. Get them while supplies last!!!!
**June 5, 5 – 7 pm**
**First Exposures ‘Zine Release Party**

We hope to see you there!

So we use tape for all sorts of things as I’m sure all photographers do so we decided to create a top ten list so here it goes:
1\) Gaffers – the prototypical multi-use tape – too bad it’s not cheaper!
2\) duck tape – you can pretty much fix all sorts of things with this…
3\) double-sided – need to attach two things? this is it!
4\) scotch – we all need some scotch tape for general office type stuff
5\) fashion tape – what woman (or man) hasn’t used this when working that awesome strapless dress? No Janet Jacksons with this stuff!
6\) painters tape – need to repaint that wall? touch up something? tape up light leaks on your Holga?
7\) electrical – also good for covering light leaks and seal up rips
8\) packing tape – well, mostly just for packages and deliveries
9\) fabric tape/first aid – pretty much as the name says
10\) foam tape – yep this is actually more fun than regular double-sided but in a different way
Tell us what other tapes you like!

We must extend our thanks to [MPINCC](http://www.mpincc.org) for honoring us with the Supplier of the Year Award at the 2009 Gala & Awards event last night!
We feel privileged to have been the primary photography sponsor for MPINCC since August of 2003 and value the quality relationships the organization has provided. The new President and Board were announced, awards were given, wine was tasted, and we all enjoyed the exquisite food and libations from [LaBonne Cuisine](http://www.labonnecuisine.com). Gabrielle was also there from [Cake Coquette](http://www.cakecoquette.com) showing off her baked goods with a cool cake design and tasty slices. This is about the tenth major event we’ve photographed at the world-class[ California Academy of Sciences](http://www.calacademy.org) since it opened last fall. Everyone had a lot of fun at the photo station we setup which used the zebras as a backdrop and projected images in real-time to plasma screens. We plan on doing the very same photo station there again soon!

So I’ve never been a fan of the wedding family shots, but have tried to do things that are less formal and more interesting. I would say this is my most challenging portion of a wedding since my style is much more documentary than directed/staged. This was a shot of mine from a recent wedding and luckily we had some time so I got to try something more interesting and personally I like the result more than the fig-leaf-guys and girls-holding-their-bouqets in a firing line look 🙂

I had the chance to view the famous ghosttown of bodie, ca over my summer vacation. you can spend an entire day there photographing the place, but the sun made it terribly challenging to make it an interesting picture. That is unless you like photographing through the reflective glass windows. nonetheless, a fun place to visit only if you’re over there in that area for some bizarre reason. one good bizarre reason would be grover hot springs, a wonderful camp 40 miles from south lake tahoe.

Busy times at the studio! This is from a shoot last week at the [Herbst Theatre](http://sfwmpac.org/herbst/ht_index.html) in San Francisco. We covered the world premiere of a documentary that you’ll be hearing about soon called [Whiz Kids](http://www.whizkidsmovie.com/). This delightful film is about 3 very different teenagers, that have one thing in common – all are fledgling scientists vying to compete in the [Intel Science Talent Search](http://www.societyforscience.org/sts/), (which I learned is the nation’s oldest and most prestigious science competition). The film tells the story of their journey, showing the highs and lows and lessons that each teen experienced. I laughed…I cried…it’s rare that I get to do both at a shoot!
This event was also a benefit for the [Exploratorium](http://www.exploratorium.edu/) and the [WHIZ KIDS Outreach and Education Fund](http://www.whizkidsfoundation.org/).

Bobby actually made it back for our reunion and here he is with two of my other best buddies Pete and David. We all played on an intramural basketball team where were were undefeated against the single girls team in the league but were totally defeated against the boys teams. Ah the good old days!

Since our profile has been growing through articles about Orange Photography and speaking at various seminars, etc., I thought it would be wise to post about one essential business book that all photographers regardless of what discipline they are specialized in should read.

So I was coming back to the City last night from shooting a fantastic wedding up in Sonoma at [Viansa Winery](http://www.viansa.com/) when I noticed that Jupiter was still visible and it was such a clear night. Before crossing over the Golden Gate Bridge, I decided to pull over in the [Marin Headlands](http://www.nps.gov/goga/marin-headlands.htm) to take a few shots. This is what it looked like last night. Our city is so beautiful and I can totally see why so many people come to see the Golden Gate Bridge. (By the way, Jupiter is that bright spot to the right of the moon.)

Lately I’ve really enjoyed shooting into the light and having a lot of overblown highlights coming through. As anyone who’s been shooting for a while can attest to – it’s important for your style to evolve. In wedding photography I feel like I have a bit more latitude since people are hiring me for my eye and aesthetics. I just went through an initial edit on Sabrina and Matt’s wedding up at [Viansa](http://www.viansa.com/) this past weekend and liked this shot of Sabrina on her way to the ceremony. Stay tuned for a few more pix from the wedding. These two were a great, fun, and photogenic couple so we all had a lot of fun at the wedding!

You may have seen the motorcades cruising through town while [U.S. Vice President Joe Biden was in town](http://su.pr/9A9w4M) and we were on hand to photograph his visit to support Senator Barbara Boxer. We’ve photographed the two previous Democratic United States Presidents before but this was the first time I had photographed Vice President Biden. I always love how working with dignitaries has it’s own set of rules and I try to chat with some of the Secret Service agents when I can as well. A few shots from the afternoon….

Well tonight our good friends Chris and Heinz stopped by the studio and since we’ve got a commercial shoot for a beer company tomorrow morning, I decided to test out my lighting on them. The shots came out just like we planned. For commercial shoots it’s always key to make sure you have a vision for what you want to do and an idea of how you want to accomplish it – of course a little experimentation and wiggle room is good too, but our client has very limited time to preparation is key.

Wow, October has been insane and we’d like to stay on top of our blog but it’s almost been too much work and not enough time to share what we’ve been up to. Both of my shoots today were a lot of fun and I wanted to share some images. The first was an educational seminar, but I was happy with some of the images I got. One of the challenges of working in very similar environments (hotel conference rooms for example) can be getting into a rut. I decided to try and shoot a few images as stock and so took that perspective when looking for angles and shots to create. Here’s a few I liked:

It’s always fun to photograph weddings of your friends so I was honored to create images for Noel and Melinda. Our city hall here in San Francisco is such a great place and I can easily say that I’ve seen more weddings here than anyplace else, many of close friends. It’s a great option if you are on a budget (it’s free unless you want something super fancy). Of course with friends the camera sometimes gets turned on you so this last shot was taken by Jamieson, who’s wedding to Ashley I also photographed last year in Playa del Carmen.

One was [home green home](http://homegreenhomesf.com/) – a natural cleaning company that’s also a co-op that allows the employees to become owners as well. They use all natural cleaning products and Derene Allen (in pink) is the General Manager who gave us the tour.
Another business showcased on the tour was La Cocina which I’ve always wanted to visit. This is a sort of community kitchen incubator and they had all sorts of awesome scents coming up from the various cooks and chefs who were working that day. They also have a great holiday gift option with their [artesan gift boxes](http://www.lacocinasf.org/store/) – a great way to support independent local businesses and give amazingly tasty and enjoyable treats!

We’re really excited with the new website as it’s being built on drupal, a free and open source content management system. While most of the work is done on the site, we have the fun task of going through our years of work and choosing the top images to showcase in our portfolio. At this point, we’re setting a launch date of March. After the launch party at our studio, we will be moving to a new studio space. It’s a year of transformation of us.

This site [pictures.com](http://www.pictures.com) aggregates images searches so you can see (broken down by site) what YouTube, eBay, flickr, and more think of your search term. I like the idea of this tool visualizing inquiries, like some sort of search engine crystal ball. And what does the Internet think? I was expecting it to be judgmental, but I felt it was pretty objective. I guess credit goes to whomever is improving upon these search algorithms.
Being a vanity case, of course I tried “picturing” my name and it turned up fairly accurate results which were mostly photographs I had taken. Yet another reason for photographers and image makers to properly tag, keyword, and name their files.
Here is what picture.com thinks of Orange Photography… we’re looking good, right?

We all enjoyed the in-studio shoot last week for [Firefox mobile’s](http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/mobile/) Press Reviewers Guide. (You’ll notice the screens are still blank with these shots as Firefox will eventually be overlaying their own screen shots.)
Everyone is stoked about Firefox Mobile 3.6 and using it with [Nokia’s new N900](http://maemo.nokia.com/n900/). It seems the N900 is already a big hit with the European market and is proving to be serious competition for the iPhone. Our session also included Jack getting shots to illustrate [Firefox’s Weave Sync](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10868) add-on. Not surprisingly, Jack (being a textbook “early adopter”) uses the add-on all the time – and loves it!

Meet [Gordon Edgar](http://gordonzola.net/) – author, blogger and cheesemonger at [Rainbow Grocery Cooperative](http://www.rainbowgrocery.org/) here in sweet ‘ol San Francisco. I had the opportunity to photograph Gordon for this image featured on the cover of his memoir [Cheesemonger: A Life On The Wedge](http://www.chelseagreen.com/bookstore/item/cheesemonger) published and distributed by [Chelsea Green](http://www.chelseagreen.com/company/contactus/our_mission_and_history/). Chelsea Green is a unique publishing company that specializes in books on the politics and practices of sustainable living. They are also part of the [Green Press Initiative](http://www.greenpressinitiative.org/). A fitting match for our values, as we are extremely proud of our [Green Photography Studio](http://www.sfgreenbusiness.org/other-services/486-orange-photography/view-details/) status.
Gordon came to our studio with his awesome attitude, hefty cheese knife and over $2,000.00 in wholesale cheese! See those big wheels? Those weigh between 50 – 80 lbs. (Thanks for moving those around Gordon!) I think we will never forget the unique “aroma” that was in the studio at the end of the day.
Gordon was a good sport, a great model and I wish him much success with his new book. I can’t wait to read it. You can order and get a taste of the book [here](http://www.chelseagreen.com/content/gordon-edgar-grass-farmland-and-where-my-cheese-love-story-begins/).

If you haven’t been to [Crushpad](http://www.crushpadwine.com/) before it’s a great space for events. We were there last weekend for a party that we had our photobooths at and people were having a blast. One of the really cool things were the speech bubble chalk boards that the team from [Samantha Smith Productions](http://www.samanthasmithproductions.com/) came up with. People got creative with them and our open air style photobooths worked really well in incorporating the design of the space itself to lend more to the vibe of the party.
Also on hand were [Kung Fu Tacos](http://kungfutacos.com/) (I was bummed to miss out on their truck) as well as [Kara’s Cupcake](http://www.karascupcakes.com/)s van (so tasty!). Definitely a good time for all, and we came away from the event with even more photobooth ideas so keep an eye out for what we’ll reveal next!

Last week I received a call from [Florian](http://www.youtube.com/user/FlorianVoss) of Germany. He told me that he was going to be in SF for a week and wanted to do a portrait session. I didn’t quite believe it because there have been plenty of scams going around about foreigners securing services, trying to pay in advance, etc. Anyway, it turns out it was a real inquiry and he walks into my studio with an entourage of 5 German women (all fight attendants) to be in the shoot with him. I came to find out that not only is he an actor but also an opera singer and a flight attendant! I rolled with it and took them to the Marin headlands for a quick tour and a change of scenery.

This past weekend, Orange was happy to partake in [Silver Oak’s 2010 Winter Release Party](http://www.silveroak.com/news/release_day).
Part of The Orange Team -Natalie, Myleen, Vicki, Jack, & Jennie- all made the trek to Napa from San Francisco and the East Bay. The day began at 7:30am at the winery and ended around 4:30pm. Silver Oak, as always, is one of our favorite clients to work with. Their attendees are always in the mood for fun as you will see from the images of the day-perhaps the gorgeous wines & winery ambiance is a crucial factor?
After a busy day of photo stations, thunderstorms, and wine drinking crowds, Orange packed it up and headed home. Shortly after departure, Natalie, Myleen, & Vicki stumbled upon a beautiful roadside field and couldn’t resist having an impromptu photo shoot of their own (see below). Yet another fun day at Silver Oak Winery: great crowds, lovely venue, and some team bonding time:)
A little rain did not get in the way of a fun day.
Keeping you safe! Napa Sheriffs were on hand to make sure everyone got home safely.
This was our rowdy bunch!
Toward the end of the day, after a few glasses of wine?

### [Headshot and Portrait: Demystifying The Confusion](https://orangephotography.com/headshots-vs-portraits-demystifying-the-confusion/)
**Published:** February 11, 2010
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/headshot_vs_portrait.jpg)
### The difference between a headshot and portrait?
A headshot is sternum up, tightly cropped, with a standard backdrop. Some even refer to them as mug shots. Simple, direct, and predictable stylization, which is usually shot at the studio. A portrait, on the other hand, includes more of the body, an expression/portrayal of the individual’s personality within their environment, and allows for more artistic license from the photographer in general. These photo shoots are customized for each individual and can be shot at various locations with creative lighting. \*Post-production is more stylized and the image gallery has a richer and more diverse variety to choose from. Pricing is also a distinctive factor. Headshots take less time, require less post-production, and therefore cost less than portraits. However, portraits give you a variety of stylized images and usually includes some headshot like images for wider application. *\*post production is the editing and color correction/enhancement of the image by the photographer after the shoot*.
In the context of online and social media, it’s essential to have good photography for building and representing your personal brand. One thing that is clearly being blogged about these days is what a turnoff stuffy profile photos and headshots can be. In the arena of online social networking, some say this can be detrimental to your personal branding. We advise you run to your Linkdln/Facebook/Twitter page, take down your suit-and-tie headshot now, and consult a professional! A professional photographer that is.
**Where do we stand?**
Headshots are essential in many contexts and we’re not buying into the negative mug shot perception. You can see by our own examples that if you find a good photographer, a headshot can be very complimentary, not making you look like an insurance agent (even if you are one;). Dare we even say, sexy?

Things I saw in Asia
In December and January I was able to spend some time in Hong Kong with family and then travel solo for a bit in Yunnan province, which is in the southwest corner of China. It’s a diverse area, sharing borders with Tibet, Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos. I got to see a lot of spectacular things, sweeping views and slices of daily life. One of my favorite things to do was to go sniff out the locals-only market, feel happily overwhelmed by the dizzying array, and perhaps go find a humble bowl of noodles to enjoy. It’s one of the favorite places I’ve visited. You can see more [photo stories from travels here](http://www.andrialo.com/hkchina).
Happy Chinese new year!

Another fun evening with the [San Francisco Bike Coalition](http://www.sfbike.org/) as we sponsored their Love on Wheels event/fundraiser at the Rickshaw Stop this past Friday evening. There were singles of all sorts and even luminaries like biking legend [Gary Fisher](http://www.fisherbikes.com/gary) (below) who popped into our photobooth which we had set up with a rickshaw that proved to be quite the hit.

 Tuesday night we covered the [WWF’s Year of the Tiger](http://www.worldwildlife.org/species/finder/tigers/year-of-tiger.html) event at the [Asian Art Museum](http://www.asianart.org/). One of the most interesting things about shooting events like this is picking up knowledge about whatever it is you are photographing. I didn’t realize that in the wild, there are only about 3200 tigers left in the world. And for those of you who like to use imagery in your marketing efforts, we learned that the WWF’s most effective outreach is when tigers adorn their marketing pieces. (Tigers even beat out their iconic panda bears!) If you’re interested in learning about how you can help tigers, there are [things you can do online in as little as 60 seconds](https://secure2.convio.net/wwf/site/Advocacy?cmd=display&page=UserAction&id=353)!

Our studio manager extraordinaire, Natalie, turns a quarter of a century old today.
This snapshot is from her very first day at Orange, which ended up being a 13+ hour workday for her. After training at the studio, we spontaneously pulled her in to assist a photo shoot that went late into the night. She of course handled it with enthusiasm and grace. Today we celebrate you, happy birthday!

*“Virginia Suicide” does Courtney Love*
All I knew about this assignment is that there would be a gaggle of drag queens, a fashion contest in the vain of Project Runway, and it would take place at [Mama Calizo’s Voice Factory](http://mcvf.org/) down the street from our studio.
I didn’t quite know what to expect, but I knew it would be good!
*Applying sequins on skin*
I love shooting drag queens and performers because **they** love being photographed. It’s a beautiful and symbiotic relationship.
If you haven’t yet checked out The Bold Italic site, you must. Especially if you’re from San Francisco. Lots of great first person stories about things you’re probably curious about (or would be if you were cool enough to know about it).
Read Josh’s story about Project Runtway, see designer Dominique Echeverria’s homage to Alexander McQueen, and get a taste of Virginia Suicide on [thebolditalic.com](http://thebolditalic.com/jrotter/stories/151-drag-races)!

### [Point and Shoot digital camera review: Pentax Optio W80 underwater camera](https://orangephotography.com/point-and-shoot-digital-camera-review-pentax-optio-w80-underwater-camera/)
**Published:** April 5, 2010
**Author:** gene x

[](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002MINP4Q?ie=UTF8&tag=orangephotography-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B002MINP4Q)
Being professional photographers, one of the most common questions we get is: “What’s a good point and shoot camera?”
Since we often don’t really use point and shoots very often, we thought it would be useful to post short reviews of the ones we have shot to put all that information in one place on our blog.
This particular review is on the [Pentax Optio W80 Waterproof Digital Camera](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002MINP4Q?ie=UTF8&tag=orangephotography-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B002MINP4Q) which we only purchased to use underwater. For regular shots I guess it’s adequate for the price and such, but one camera that I really like is the [Samsung SL620](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/?p=2639) which a friend of mine has. That camera takes the best shots straight up whether it’s day or night.
Back to the W80, underwater it does a nice job. The video worked really well during the day when we tested it in Las Vegas. I’m not sure how well it holds up if it’s not as bright out, but I suspect most folks would be using this in the sun when they are on a tropical vacation. So as far as waterproof point-and-shoot cameras go, I can say it does the job when submerged, but I can’t say I’m super impressed with the image quality at higher ISOs (although most of the P&S’s fail in that respect).

We had our infamous open air photobooth going, free headshots with make-up by [Maria Lee](http://www.marialeemakeup.com), and raffle prizes (including an on location portrait session with Jack). A really lovely time, so thanks to everyone who made it happen and to all who came out for the celebration.

This camera takes some amazing pictures even when using the flash indoors in the evening. My friend [J Zubiere](http://www.jzubire.com/), a makeup artist, had the [Samsung SL620](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001PKTRB2?ie=UTF8&tag=orangephotography-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B001PKTRB2) during a shoot out in Las Vegas, and I was really impressed by how great the shots came out in all kinds of environments. She also used it poolside in Ft Lauderdale during sunset on a steamy night and it took great pix then as well.
Definitely the point and shoot digital camera I would suggest even though it’s probably a couple years old. You can get it[ on sale on Amazon now for around $120](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001PKTRB2?ie=UTF8&tag=orangephotography-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B001PKTRB2), which for that quality I’d buy one if I needed a new P&S. Oh, and here’s a link to a decent book on shooting with a point and shoot by Rick Sammon: “[Confessions of a Compact Camera Shooter: Get Professional Quality Photos with Your Compact Camera](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0470565071?ie=UTF8&tag=orangephotography-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0470565071)”

Spring is here and in Sausalito it seems like the weather is always gorgeous and one spot we’ve been to quite a bit of late is [Cavallo Point](http://www.cavallopoint.com/). It’s a great spot and has facilities for events as well, so it’s a pretty popular spot over the Bridge. What better background is there to play badminton, too, with the arches of the Golden Gate Bridge visible in the background? Shooting action sports in bright sunlight can be tough, but I brought along polarizing filters to bring out the sky more (which I didn’t end up using) and of course used fill flash to fill in the shadows.

Founders Ted Vadakan and Angie Myung have been collaborating with artists and designers from all over the world, creating [limited edition wallets](http://poketo.com/shop/wallets) – art that fits in your pocket!
They’ve been in action since 2004. They have grown so much from their humble beginnings and are now established producers of artist-designed lifestyle wares.
Spend some time on their sleek new site:
And to learn a little about their story, read this profile about them in the [LA Times](http://articles.latimes.com/2010/mar/06/business/la-fi-poketo6-2010mar06).
And one last little tidbit – I had the honor of shooting [Ted and Angie’s wedding back in 2008](http://www.hellolucky.com/wordpress/?p=2339)!

Tammy and John’s son Dylan had the best temperament we’ve ever worked with. So adorable, and the perfect addition to this gorgeous family. You will see his beautiful cousin’s, Ella and Chloe, in the images below. Like I said, a gorgeous family all around! We started at the studio and ended up at Golden Gate Park to have a little outdoor fun in the quaint Shakespeare Garden where Tammy and John had originally considered having their wedding.
Gene shot Grace and Peter’s wedding at City Hall, and Andria had the privilege of capturing their son Finn’s 1st birthday recently in their new home in San Francisco. Sugar + little ones everywhere = lots of great moments to capture. And to add to the baby love going around Orange, last week Andria also did an in studio shoot with the Dijkers and their little bundle of love. A beautiful family.
We really wanted to showcase our in studio and on location family portraiture. We’ve been really pleased with the results and we think our families have been too:) Don’t forget that Mother’s Day is this Sunday and what a great gift to surprise her with. A photo shoot of the whole family!

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 wedding ceremony at City Hall. My wife and I recited vows inspired by the teachings of Buddhism and it made me cry like a baby! Christina and Ethen had a Zen priest preside over their first ceremony and also had a Korean style ceremony as well. I particularly found the Korean ceremony to be one of the funniest to photograph with the brilliant clothing and comical ritual of throwing fruits at the couple to suggest how many kids they will have!

**Content:**
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](http://www.cityarts.net/) who had comedienne [Sarah Silverman](http://twitter.com/SarahKSilverman) on the program.
As I waited backstage for her at the Palace of Fine Arts, she arrived with pretty much just her agent and boyfriend, got mic’d up, and we all had some small talk. She’s super personable and very down-to-earth. It was funny to hear some behind the scenes details about how the interview process works and affects both the interviewer and interviewee. In essence, she related it to therapy since informed interviewers often come up with pretty deep questions that make her think about her life a lot more than she might otherwise.Overall the evening was a big success and everyone seemed to get a healthy mix of insight, stories and of course comedic interludes.

So the big news has been out for a bit now, but we were on hand to take the press shots of Fritz Maytag, Keith Greggor and Tony Foglio that went along with [the announcement](http://anchorbrewing.com/Griffin-Group-Acquires-Anchor-Brewing-Company.pdf). It was an honor to meet Mr. Maytag who’s really humble and soft spoken. As someone who thoroughly enjoys beer (and especially craft brews) I owe thanks to Mr. Maytag.
The shot above was one of the most widely circulated and one of my personal faves too. It’s always interesting to see what gets used when you know what all the images look like.

The [First Exposures program](http://www.sfcamerawork.org/education/first_exposures/index.php) 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](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/services/photostation) at and it was a big hit. But the best part of the evening was how many pieces of art sold. Both the mentors and mentees had work on display at SF Camerawork and it was such a great turnout to support a great program!

[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/best-business-photos1.jpg)Recently during a flight to and from a shoot in NYC I read John Harrington’s book: [Best Business Practices for Photographers, Second Edition](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1435454294?ie=UTF8&tag=orangephotography-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1435454294)
and it’s got a wealth of great information for all photographers and small business owners.
He also had covered some of the info in his presentations at ASMP’s Strictly Business 2 – which was an awesome seminar – and I think they are working on the next one so keep an eye open for that as well.
Some highlights from the book included great examples on how to best handle your contracts and how to approach licensing. There’s so much more inside but suffice it to say that this should be one of your go-to books if you are starting up and even if you are already established.

### [Chip Conley's new book](https://orangephotography.com/chip-conleys-new-book/)
**Published:** June 11, 2010
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
If you work in hospitality in the Bay Area then you most likely know (or should know) who [Chip Conley](http://www.chipconley.com/) is. I won’t go into his back story but he’s the founder of [Joie De Vivre Hotels](http://www.jdvhotels.com/), one of the top boutique hotel chains around(and based here in San Francisco).
A while back my business partner Jack read Conley’s book [Peak: How Great Companies Get Their Mojo from Maslow](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0787988618?ie=UTF8&tag=orangephotography-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0787988618), and was really moved by it so I also read it, and we’ve implemented a lot of what he did at JDV here at Orange. I’ve always believed that Maslow’s hierarchy of needs made common sense to a degree but didn’t really connect it all together as Conley did, especially as a philosophy in the workplace. The book is a good read and his new one sounds interesting too: Emotional Equations – keep an eye out for it!
Here’s an old shot from 2003 when Conley and then San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown were on hand for the groundbreaking for the Hotel Vitale which has become one of the most successful hotels in San Francisco.

The new board was sworn in and various awards were given out and we are so honored to have received one as well! We’ve been doing a lot of work up in Wine Country over the years and are really ramping up our work up there, especially now that we also offer video services and photobooths as well as our traditional event photography and portrait & wedding work.

We were both surprised and honored to receive a Presidents Award from the [Napa-Sonoma Chapter of ISES](http://www.isesnapa-sonoma.com/) earlier this month. We do quite a bit of work up in wine country and have been working to get more involved with event professionals there and so this was so nice to receive. We’ve found that joining professional organizations such as [ISES](http://www.ises.com/) has been rewarding in the education you get through their programs as well as the network of professionals you meet and become friends with. It’s definitely been a great resource for Orange and we’d suggest it to others in the special events industry as well!
As you can see I wasn’t anticipating receiving the reward so had to improvise and take the photo the typical point-and-shoot style (which is a bit harder to do with a heavy DSLR!)

Erin and Matt got married in late April, and throughout the day I was praying that my wife wouldn’t go into labor! Luckily, the baby came a month later and the day went without a hitch. The entire wedding was at the Flood Mansion and the set up was extraordinary, as I recognized many of the top vendors in the industry working there. Erin and Matt were one of the most low key clients I’ve worked with and I appreciated the fact they were so hands off throughout the wedding. Erin was simply gorgeous and naturally photogenic. Matt started the day a little nervous (who wouldn’t be!) but his natural smile came out when things got started. One of the most humorous speeches I have ever heard came from the Maid of Honor, Erin’s sister, where she compared the similarities between their respective backgrounds in the form of a top 10 list.

Tawny & Craig decided to go the all portrait route on their wedding day. Instead of the usual documentary style of coverage that our studio is known for, we spent a few hours going to classic -and off the beaten path- places in the city. They met me at my studio and we spent a good 15 minutes in front of some big flashes and did a mini fashion shoot before heading to the Golden Gate Bridge area. Unfortunately, when we got to Fort Point we were almost turned away. But Craig, being the salesman that he is, persuaded the guard to let is in for 5 minutes. Anyway, it was a fast fun filled portrait session through the city before returning to a really cool reception venue called [Ambiance Antique](http://theambiancevenue.com/).

**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Earlier this year we completed production on a very exciting video project on behalf of [Bonfire Communications](http://www.bonfirecommunications.com/) for the [YES program](http://www.ayusa.org/administration/yes). The YES program, with support of [AYUSA](http://www.ayusa.org/), brings high school students from predominantly Muslim countries to live with American families. The students attend local schools and are active in the community -all in an effort to promote mutual understanding and respect between cultures. Featured above is Nourhan, one of my favorite students from the project. She’s from Kuwait and was placed with a family in Minnetonka, MN. My favorite part is 45 seconds in. Check it out!
Our crew was small: Paul Jaffe, our lead camera, editor of the final piece, and composer of all the tracks you hear on the videos; Preston Lewis, our producer, master of logistics, and main interviewer; and myself as 2nd camera and assistant.
With our HD cameras and lighting gear in tow – we traveled to Southern California, Kentucky, Minnesota and Wisconsin to meet the students and spend time with them and their host families. We basically interviewed folks and captured details and footage of their schools and the towns where they lived. The biggest challenge for sure was getting all of this in a short window of time. But I am proud to say, in the end, we created some really dynamic, well-rounded short documentary pieces.
To learn more about the program and to see our complete and final 16 minute video – please visit the [YES Program](http://www.ayusa.org/administration/yes) site.

### [What's in your bag: Gene X Hwang](https://orangephotography.com/whats-in-your-bag-gene-x-hwang/)
**Published:** July 19, 2010
**Author:** gene x

People are often fascinated by the gear we carry and I know a ton of photographers who are total gearheads. I admit that I also enjoy seeing what gear other photographers are using although ultimately it’s more the eye and creativity from the mind that matters more than what you are using. That being said, there are a lot of cool and useful tools that we implement to arrive at our vision.
I do a bit of traveling covering events and as such have a sort of ‘default’ travel bag setup. Here it is! Callouts to specs are after the jump.

### [Printing Onsite - what gear to use?](https://orangephotography.com/printing-on-site-what-gear-to-use/)
**Published:** July 14, 2010
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
We get asked a lot about onsite printing, and at several presentations I’ve given in the past the first question is almost inevitably “what gear do you use?” Of course photographers are often very interested in gear, and ever since the advent of digital and the advances in technology in general, the gear seems to change at an ever faster rate. Since it’s important to ourselves and our clients that we are leveraging the best available technologies we, by virtue, must stay on top of what’s happening, and investments in the right equipment can keep you ahead of the curve.
**Here are answers to some common questions:**
**– What type of printers do you use?** The best ones we’ve used are all [Mitusbishi printers](http://www.mitsubishi-imaging.com/photo/) (CP-9500DW, CP-9550DW, CP-9800DW and CP-3020DAU) – we’ve used Sony’s too but only in one of our specific photobooth setups.
**– How do you charge?** For us it’s based on so many factors, many of which were just listed above. Ultimately you should first know your own overhead costs and what you need to earn just to walk out your door, so pricing is a whole topic unto itself. I’d recommend [John Harrington’s book which we’ve reviewed previously on our blog](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/?p=3121) for more info on that.
**– Where do you buy the photo insert cards?** We get them from [Collectors Gallery](http://www.studiostyle.com/) who does a great job and has lots of options.
**– What software do you use for fast turnaround on your photo’s to be printed?** We use [Express Digital](http://www.expressdigital.com/), as it’s the fastest and easiest program for both regular onsite printing as well as green screen.
*Oh and about the photo? We were setting up at an event in a tent and it was raining and cold so we had to actually put up an umbrella while we were setting things up. Luckily the rain subsided and everyone had an amazing time!*

Ayaka and Ryo are from Japan. They planned everything for their Bay Area wedding while overseas, so the first time I met them in person was just an hour before they said “I do!” This ended up working out just fine because I developed an instant crush on them and luckily for me, they let me stalk them for the next couple of hours =).
They had a very intimate ceremony, with just a few family members in attendance, at the [Memorial Church](http://www.stanford.edu/group/religiouslife/memchu.html) on Stanford University’s campus. They definitely win the “Biggest Venue, Smallest Wedding” award.
Let’s talk about their clothes for a second. What sharp dressers! I was enamored with all the details of their clothing made in Japan. You can see for yourself after the jump… Ayaka’s gorgeous lace dress and silk flowers, Ryo’s distinctive collar and tie, and all in attendance were wearing white gloves. How adorable are they?!

### [Ayaka & Ryo - Japanese wedding details](https://orangephotography.com/ayaka-ryo-japanese-wedding-details-2/)
**Published:** July 13, 2010
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Ayaka and Ryo are from Japan. They planned everything for their Bay Area wedding while overseas, so the first time I met them in person was just an hour before they said “I do!” This ended up working out just fine because I developed an instant crush on them and luckily for me, they let me stalk them for the next couple of hours =).
They had a very intimate ceremony, with just a few family members in attendance, at the [Memorial Church](http://www.stanford.edu/group/religiouslife/memchu.html) on Stanford University’s campus. They definitely win the “Biggest Venue, Smallest Wedding” award.
Let’s talk about their clothes for a second. What sharp dressers! I was enamored with all the details of their clothing made in Japan. You can see for yourself after the jump… Ayaka’s gorgeous lace dress and silk flowers, Ryo’s distinctive collar and tie, and all in attendance were wearing white gloves. How adorable are they?!

### [Kim & Daniel](https://orangephotography.com/kim-daniel-2/)
**Published:** August 20, 2010
**Author:** jack
**Content:**
You probably can’t tell that Daniel doesn’t enjoy having his photography taken but luckily my charm won him over. It’s rarely easy for guys to be in front of the camera and Daniel was no exception but Kim and I (with help from their dog), made sure he had some fun being a fashion model. PDA (Public Displays of Affections) is a skill set that most guys don’t have but I always tell them doing the engagement session that they’re getting a valuable free lesson from me! Anyway, we went to Cavallo Point of the first part of the shot and then roll down the street to a nice panoramic area near the yacht club.

Mitzi and Howard are from the fabulous kingdom of LA. They opted to celebrate their love in the heavenly realm of San Francisco in the always adorable Shakespeare Garden in Golden Gate Park. Friends from all over the US flew in to join them in this very intimate affair. While Mitzi’s son was passionate about breaking the glass after the ceremony, I was reminded of my own commitment vows to my wife’s kids. It’s not easy being a step father but now I guess i have the honor of being both.

### [Sofia Outtakes](https://orangephotography.com/sofia-outtakes/)
**Published:** August 17, 2010
**Author:** jack
**Content:**
I usually suggest to clients to do baby/kid portraits on location/at home but Sofia came into our studio. Sofia, being 1, was full of energy, running around most of the time. We had the lights set up in one location and it was entertaining trying to get her to where the lighting set up was. These outtakes represent the gamut of ‘things’ that she played with throughout the session.

[SFMOMA](http://www.sfmoma.org/) (San Francisco Museum of Modern Art) has been one of our favorite clients over the past ten years. They recently brought us in to cover another one of their [Family Day](http://www.sfmoma.org/events/1699) events. We always appreciate how SFMOMA provides family activities influencing San Francisco’s artistic culture (and the kids always have a blast too!). [Target](http://sites.target.com/site/en/company/page.jsp?contentId=WCMP04-031764&ref=sr_shorturl_arts) was a great sponsor for the event and a pleasure to work with -they had an amazing photo station set up that was tons of fun for everyone involved.

### [Prop 8 Overturned!](https://orangephotography.com/prop-8-overturned/)
**Published:** August 4, 2010
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
We at Orange were happy to hear that Prop 8 was overturned today! What a great victory. We remember back in the fall of 2008 when so many same sex couples came to us to document their marriages in the hopes of having their ceremonies before the November 4th vote. Jack & Jennie were actually married on November 4th, 2008 at City Hall and joined in the protests to ban Prop 8. Check out some of our favorite weddings from that time. Here’s to documenting more in the future!

Look at that munchkin! Back in May, Natalie helped me out with a t-shirt shoot for Hyphen Magazine. The models were a great mix of staff and Hyphen readers (and future readers, give him 5 years).
They’ll be updating the webstore soon with images and updated merchandise at [hyphenmagazine.com](http://www.hyphenmagazine.com).
The highly photogenic lady in red, is none other than Hyphen’s Publisher Lisa Lee who just made the top 5 in 7×7’s Hot 20 Under 40. Vote for her [here](http://www.7x7.com/hot-20-under-40-readers-choice-vote-top-5). C’mon look how hot she is!
Make-up and hair was done by the amazing Jasmine Chan.

### [Heyzap Portraits](https://orangephotography.com/heyzap-portraits/)
**Published:** August 31, 2010
**Author:** jack
**Content:**
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](http://www.heyzap.com). 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 were telling me that they went through a bunch of co-founder portraits and how much they wanted to look as good as the other ones! These images weren’t necessarily my favorite selects from the shoot but since our post-production team did a fine job on the client’s selection, I thought I would post them anyway.

We’ve photographed a number of authors for their book cover photos and public relations use, as well as another book cover for [Cheesemonger, that Myleen shot](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/?p=2197) at our old studio space.
Our next book cover is for [Dangerous Curves](http://www.upress.state.ms.us/books/1323), a collaboration with a long time friend, book designer and artist Pete Halverson whom I went to high school with. I worked with Shawna Walker who’s the model on the cover of the book and we used real guns as props thanks to a friend of Shawna’s. We’ve been doing a lot of shots of authors lately too so stay tuned to our blog to see more about those shoots and we’ll try and go more into the making of the shots if that’s what you would like to see – just let us know in the comments!

**Published:** September 9, 2010

**Content:**
It’s that time of year again, time for the annual team offsite! The Orange Team headed for the lanes this year, living it up at [Sea Bowl](http://www.seabowl.com/) in beautiful Pacifica. But our first stop: the timeless and delicious In-N-Out to give us the strength to heave those balls with destructive force (cue pins falling down dramatically and in slow motion).
Once we arrived on the scene at Sea Bowl, shoes were handed out, drinks were ordered, names inputted, and the games and photography began! The big points bringer was our very own Myleen; smooth form was seen by a few, while the rest of us kinda winged it (and perhaps wished for bumpers), but fun was had by all. Check out some of the highlights below:

**Content:**
Sarah and Mike meet in Washington DC but having been raised in the Bay Area, Sarah opted to tie the knot at the venerable Flood Mansion. We spent a good amount of time going to the classic San Franciso hot spots for portraits with the entire wedding party. Sarah was a natural in front of the camera and express her inner model while joggers ran by at the Lyons street steps. Mike was quite charming as well but in that east coast tough guy kind of way! By the end of the night, they enjoyed a gorgeous sunset on the balcony of the Flood Mansion and everyone had a rocking time on the dance floor.

Meet Kevin and Emily! They had a lovely wedding at the charming and historic [Webb Barn](http://www.webb-deane-stevens.org/webb_barn.html) in [Wethersfield, Connecticut](http://wethersfieldct.com/).
The vibe was intimate and warm – it was all about the essentials. Loved ones, a sweet ceremony, amazing food and some hard dancing in a barn. I have never been to Connecticut before – so green, so lush. It was such an honor to be a part of their day.

Meet Kevin and Emily! They had a lovely wedding at the charming and historic [Webb Barn](http://www.webb-deane-stevens.org/webb_barn.html) in [Wethersfield, Connecticut](http://wethersfieldct.com/).
The vibe was intimate and warm – it was all about the essentials. Loved ones, a sweet ceremony, amazing food and some hard dancing in a barn. I have never been to Connecticut before – so green, so lush. It was such an honor to be a part of their day.

### [Polaroid SX-70, Impossible Project films and sparking creativity](https://orangephotography.com/polaroid-sx-70-impossible-project-films-and-sparking-creativity/)
**Published:** October 11, 2010
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
I’ve always loved the [Polaroid SX-70 Land Camera](http://www.photoethnography.com/ClassicCameras/index-frameset.html?PolaroidSX-70.html~mainFrame) and finally found one in great condition on eBay so bidded on it and won. I had been saving some Impossible Project [Fade to Black Film 10/09 film](http://shop.the-impossible-project.com/shop/film/sx70/fi_sx70_1_1009_fade) just to use with this and did a personal project with it to see how it’d turn out. Of course with expermental film like Fade To Black you never know exactly what you’ll get and that’s half the fun.
One of the things I love about film was how you couldn’t chimp your screen right after and had to wait to see what you got exactly. Of course when you were on assignment and weren’t sure if you got the shot, it wasn’t so exciting in a positive way always. Well with the Impossible Project bringing back Polaroid I’ve found it to be a great source for creativity. Giving yourself assignments is easy when you have an 8-10 pack of film that you can use all in one day or weekend. I decided on something very Mr. Rogers-like and gave myself the assignment of “who are some of the people in your neighborhood” and went out and took their portraits. What follows is the results…
I asked each subject to give me one word or phrase that they could relate to starting with the first photo above: Breegan (pronounced BRE’-gun) – “adventure” – taken on Guerrero Street between 18th and 17th

### [On-location business portrait lighting](https://orangephotography.com/on-location-business-portraits-draft/)
**Published:** September 10, 2010
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
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 have to be able to think on the fly and look at spaces with a sense of what you can pull off. Also, with business and executive portraits you often don’t have as much time and that was the case here too since we had to do one formal headshot as well as a more casual portrait (which we shot in this room that was next door to the conference room we took the headshots in).
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/MG_7175_0007.jpg)This is the view of the room from the back closer to where the models would be sitting or standing. You can see that we just have one light – a softbox – bounced up towards the ceiling. Since this room had nice ambient light, we decided to soften the already soft light from the soft box by bouncing off the white ceiling which was also pretty low so the light scattered all around the room. We had it dialed down pretty low (that’s a [Profoto ComPact Monolight](http://www.profoto.com/products/profoto/generators/compact/compact-600) with a [Profoto softbox](http://www.profoto.com/products/profoto/lightshapingtools/softboxes/softbox2x3)) since we wanted to shoot wide open as well. The resulting image looked like this:

Dear readers, I am delighted to introduce to you the one, the only – Amelia Mulkey. Amelia is an actress, splitting up her time between San Francisco and her hometown Los Angeles. She wanted to update her headshots and make room for a new arsenal of looks for her portfolio. We planned a shoot at her house (which she lovingly refers to as “the sea monster”). We explored the sea monster, looking for the best light and backgrounds. I love photographing people in their homes! People feel comfortable on their home turf – it is especially helpful for wardrobe changes. It’s amazing how different these images are from one another, you’d never know they were taken in the same location!
I can’t wait to share Pt. 2 with you. You should also check out Amelia’s new site for outtakes – I love how she uses the images: [http://www.ameliamulkey.com](http://www.ameliamulkey.com/Amelia_Mulkey/amelia.html)

Babies ruled here a few weeks ago when we had the apparel company, [American Crown](http://americancrown.com), here in the studio to shoot their upcoming catalog. Disney music, snack packs & juice boxes, parents making silly faces to get a smile from their children, and racks of clothing filled the studio all day long. Jack did a great job of making the kids comfortable in front of the camera and setting up each scene. We had a lot of fun and are very happy that the American Crown team is quite pleased with the shots.

### [Ashley and Jnani engagement pix!](https://orangephotography.com/ashley-and-jnani-engagement-pix/)

**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
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 had their portraits taken together (or else they probably have done it a LOT), so they don’t know quite what to expect. Add on the fact that it can be a bit awkward to be out in public doing a shoot, and you have the perfect opportunity to push things.When I look at locations I mostly look at textures, shapes and colors. I don’t care so much what it looks like from the naked eye, but try to think of what those elements would look like in a final image. In this case the first image was obvious since we had the iconic Transamerica Pyramid as part of the background. On the following image I looked at the textures of the church to use as compositional elements as well as the angles of the spirals on the columns:

For this final shot, we were first shooting inside the cafe, but I walked outside and wanted to get some sorta signage or something to signify where we were and decided to frame them in the reflections on the glass under the “Caffe” type. I really like how it turned out!

or in this case, alley… I feel like the only times I end up in a photo that my assistant shoots during a wedding happens to be when I’m on the ground and this was one that Gavin Farrington, who was assisting me at Prudence and David’s wedding, caught. The girls were dancing in the alley and I also saw this and was shooting the reverse angle. The shot I took is below and was taken just a few milliseconds after Gavin’s shot above (remember to sync your camera clocks!). Can you see Gavin in my shot? He’s barely visible in the haze from the smoker (which was smoking a full hog – which was served up during dinner).

### [Serendipity and Preparedness in wedding photography](https://orangephotography.com/serendipity-and-preparedness-in-wedding-photography/)
**Published:** November 16, 2010
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
[](http://www.flickr.com/photos/orange-photography/5179108852/ "Legion of Honor wedding portrait by orangephotography, on Flickr")Well, actually, this applies to all sorts of photography but more so any type of photography that has less controlled situations. With weddings in particular, one of the challenges is that things never go *exactly* as planned. Even when they do, specific moments can happen in split seconds and unexpected moments pop up all the time. Capturing those moments and being prepared is one of the keys to being a successful pro.
The above shot was just one example. I was walking the couple towards a new spot that I wanted to take some shots at, and I turned around and noticed this beautifully backlit image of the groom helping the bride with her dress.Since I hadn’t set up the actual shot I was going to take, I had luckily set some of the dials to what I wanted since I knew I wanted to shoot some backlit shots with the sun slightly coming through. I was able to get this shot because I did have my settings locked in and when I turned around to see where they were behind me and saw this, I was able to pull the camera up and get this with minimal adjustments (pretty much just adjust the zoom on the 16-35).
So the key is to always be prepared, and I know I can be a bit anal about this. Whenever I pack up my gear, I set my camera to ISO 400 and the f-stop to the most wide open setting. That way, just in case something crazy happens on my way home, I can possibly snap a decent shot if I have to pull the camera out in an instant. In most instances, you have a little more time that a millisecond, but you never know when that great image might pop up!

Tiffany and Rob had an amazingly fun time at the Casa de la Vista on treasure island! Since they were getting ready in the city, we decided to go downtown for the portraits before heading out to treasure island. Their wedding party was definitely one of the most outgoing and had a blast on the dance floor, some even lost their shirts on the floor as well! Meanwhile, the photo booth was also a big hit with tons of crazy props! I love weddings where people have an insanely good time and I want to join them afterwards!

### [An Evening with Tony Blair](https://orangephotography.com/an-evening-with-tony-blair/)
**Published:** December 13, 2010

We recently had the honor of spending an evening with Tony Blair at the beautiful Fairmont Nob Hill. The former world leader made a visit to our lovely city to launch the [Tony Blair Faith Foundation](http://www.tonyblairfaithfoundation.org/), a global education program that is particularly close to his heart. The program connects students across the globe via video conferencing and encourages them to discuss their experiences and perspectives on global issues, in efforts to break down stereotypes among religion and beliefs.
Hosted by Colliers International, the event kicked off with an introduction to the program, where Tony joined a live video-chat with students and teachers across the country sharing their experiences. It was encouraging to see the enthusiasm and positivity of both the students and teachers. A VIP Party in the Penthouse followed the event, where guests had the opportunity to have their photo taken with Tony Blair. Between the cameras, cocktails, attire and breathtaking views of the city at sunset from the Penthouse balcony, the gathering felt very prestigious.
Later on, Charlie Rose of PBS joined Tony Blair for discussions on the challenges in our modern world. The evening closed out with Larry Baer, President of our SF Giants, presenting Tony with his very own signed Tim Lincecum jersey, a very appropriate present as the Giants had just wrapped up their World Series Victory Parade that day. ‘Twas a very special evening! Here are some of Gene’s shots from the night.

### [The difference between control and spontaneity](https://orangephotography.com/the-difference-between-control-and-spontaneity/)
**Published:** December 4, 2010
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
So I couldn’t really decide on a single image so I thought that using two worked because it reflects a lot of the type of work I do as well as my approach.
Just recently I had this exact situation of control vs. spontaneity face me. A commercial shoot for a new startup hired me to shoot a new ad campaign image for them the day before the shoot. Usually I like to have more time to think things through and have ideas for what we’re going to be doing, but in this case it just wasn’t possible due to time frames. We finished booking and finalizing things around 10pm and we shot at 10:30 the next morning on location.
This is a common dilemma all photographers face: how much control you can exert vs. how much creative latitude you have. Typically I like to shoot more spontaneously than having total control but you have to embrace both to succeed.
My “control” image is of Shawna Walker (above). This was a test shoot I did in our studio based on some ideas she had and led to a book cover shoot.
To create this shot, I knew we wanted it to be all about her, showing her in a powerful manner but not overly intimidating. I didn’t diagram out the shot so I can’t quite recall exactly how we lit it, but I am pretty sure I had a large softbox that lit from the right side of the frame as the primary light source. I didn’t want to use any edge lighting as I wanted it to still have a somewhat organic feel like she could have been in a old school boxing gym. Hence the faint texture of the distressed brick in the background.
Sometimes I want to show the background more but in this case went with keeping it dark (the levels were pushed down for the wall in post). I also wanted to make sure that both pink boxing gloves were noticeable since those were what Shawna brung and wanted to highlight as well. After we got the right shot, in post I flattened out the color saturation and tinted it to have a bit more vintage look. The abs, those were all her – no adjustments on my side…
Now on the spontaneous shot, this was an engagement shoot for a wedding couple of mine.
They used to live in North Beach right near where this shot was taken, but it was a typical San Francisco day where it’s not blue skies but rather a bit of fog and haze so we had to decide how we wanted to shoot and in what direction. In this case, I had not scouted this exact location before so I had to think on my feet.
What I really like to look for is shapes. This could be textures, alignments of buildings or the way streets flow. In this shot, it was all about triangles was the thought that subconsciously popped into my head. I often don’t know exactly what I’m thinking until I frame a shot in my head or in the viewfinder. This shot I first was looking through the viewfinder standing up, but wasn’t getting enough of the yellow lines so I got down on the ground.
Luckily I often wear bright orange shoes so I had my feet kicked up just in case a car drove up on me so they wouldn’t run me over (hopefully). That’s part of the ‘control’ portion – make sure to be prepared, even if you don’t know what for, because that let’s your spontaneity and creativity flow more when you don’t have to think to yourself “crap I wish I had \_\_\_\_\_\_insert equipment of choice here\_\_\_\_!”
So now laying on the ground I could finally see the shot I wanted. Since I was a bit far away from them, I knew I wanted to shoot at a long focal length with my 70-200 to compress the background since the Transamerica Pyramid was pretty far away. So now the yellow lines were a triangle, the Transamerica building always is, and I had the couple kinda lean in and they were the third triangle! I totally didn’t think about that shot until I was there, so I like to say that you should never have a fixed plan, but always be prepared!

Happy New Year Dear Readers! Hope everyone is well.
After a most epic holiday season – we enjoyed a nice little break at the studio. We’ve been tying up loose ends, catching up with friends, family, life…
I just wanted to share this image that I shot of the Lord Family – aka Team Lord. This is my 2nd year doing family portraits with them – I worked with Rob and Patti a few years ago, shooting their wedding here in San Francisco. They used the image for their annual holiday card and I think it turned out really nice. It’s always cool to see our photos in print!

We were on hand at the private post-inauguration party last night for incoming Governor Jerry Brown who made a brief appearance as well as Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. He may be the most photographed mayor of another city that we’ve shot having been in attendance at some art openings in Beverly Hills that we covered in the past.

So a while back we shot an opening for the Asian Law Caucus’ new digs on Columbus. It was a nice affair and I like the work they do which I [detailed in a previous blog entry](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/?p=495). Anyhow, with the Supervisors here in San Francisco deliberating over who the interim mayor will be, it seems likely that Ed Lee will be their selection.
As such, [@sfmayoredlee](http://twitter.com/notsfmayoredlee) started a twitter account which has been pretty funny to follow. The shot above was when I first photographed him, and he whispered his intentions to “one day be Mayor,” just as he whisked his index finger and thumb together across his now famous mustache, and stepped away, on his way to realize his dream.

### [The Special Event 2011 wrap-up and learnings](https://orangephotography.com/the-special-event-2011-wrap-up-and-learnings/)
**Published:** January 31, 2011
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com)So last week was [The Special Event](http://www.thespecialeventshow.com/) in Phoenix, AZ and I was honored to be a speaker at the conference. The best thing about going to these is that you get to meet new folks, learn and network. This year’s The Special Event was my first one to attend and it was definitely worth the trip!
Some of the general themes that I came away with was the importance of social media and using it the right way, and hearing about many different trends and ideas for businesses in general. As usual there were very specific sessions for caterers, designers etc, but I mostly attended more general topics. Here’s a few more shots from the week as well as a few comments…
[Jenise Fryatt](http://twitter.com/JeniseFryatt) of [Icon Presentations](http://www.icon-presentations.com/blog/) discusses social media. Hidden behind her is her co-presenter [Lindsay Fultz](http://twitter.com/LindsayFultz) answering questions during their presentation through Twitter. That was one of the themes everywhere: how do you most effectively use twitter? Try out Fryatt’s recommendation of #EIR – Engage, Inform and Retweet. Of course there’s more detail about each of those, but basically you have to contribute to the overall conversation going on on Twitter, so hence *engage*. A great way to do that is to *inform* people of cool things going on and relevant info. To do that, you can *retweet* relevant tweets. Simple… but effective!
Networking of course is a great part of any event, and this was the Tweetup that was hosted at the Hyatt. This group was pretty international, hailing from Canada and the Netherlands and we got to share thoughts on the conference, the learnings, and I discovered that the man in the blue shirt was someone who’s tweets I was following during the convention: [@ruudwjanssen](http://twitter.com/ruudwjanssen).
It’s also great to see folks you know and I ran into [Kate Kovalick-Patay](http://www.linkedin.com/pub/kate-kovalick-patay/7/577/978) of [Creative Coverings](http://www.creativecoverings.com/) in her booth. She was super busy with some of her new fabrics that were getting a lot of attention and like many industries, the new trends are what gain and keep people’s attention. When you are doing special events for a living, you have to keep things fresh and the show floor was full of great ideas.

I’m excited to share images from Holly and Juan’s winter wedding at [Ahwahnee Hotel](http://http://www.yosemitepark.com/Accommodations_TheAhwahnee.aspx) in [Yosemite National Park](http://www.nps.gov/yose/). I could not ask for a more breathtaking backdrop than Yosemite in the wintertime! They had expressed to me how lucky they felt to have found each other and that sentiment stuck with me throughout the day as I observed and captured their wonderful connection. It was apparent to me just how blessed they are.

### [What I learned at ASMP's SB3 and why you should go](https://orangephotography.com/what-i-learned-at-asmps-sb3-and-why-you-should-go/)
**Published:** February 4, 2011
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
ASMP has been putting on the [Strictly Business](http://asmp.org/content/strictly-business-3) series for a while now and having [attending the last](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/?p=338) two, I can heartily recommend it. Many photographers have the mistaken notion that just becoming a better photographer is all you need to do to improve your business. While the 10,000 hours of practice theory that Malcolm Gladwell has posited in [Outliers](http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Furl%3Dsearch-alias%253Daps%26field-keywords%3Doutliers%26x%3D0%26y%3D0&tag=orangephotography-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325) is true, you still need to know the business side as it’s not enough today to just be a great photographer.
Some of the most valuable information was about SEO, negotiations, licensing, estimating and video. There was so much to learn that it’s almost overwhelming, but as far as value is concerned, you would be wise to invest in this conference. The weekend was a blur, but aside from the great education, it was so nice to meet fellow photographers that you can have ongoing relationships with and help each other implement the ideas presented at SB3.
A few cool learnings:
– Push yourself to a zone of discomfort – that’s where the real creative juices get flowing
[[Sean Kernan](http://www.seankernan.com/)] – *“It’s not who you know, it’s who knows you”* – in relation to social media and networking \[[Blake Discher](http://www.fireflystudios.com/index.shtml)\]
– “If you don’t like change, you’re gonna like irrelevance even less.” \[[Judy Hermann](http://www.hsstudio.com/) on strategic reinvention\]
– know how people view content – people are now time slicing and day parting (e.g. during the commute they may listen to podcasts or radio, on their lunch breaks they check out Facebook – so you need to be where the audience is) \[[Tom Kennedy](http://kennedymedia.net/)\]
– “Differentiate with value or die on price.” \[[Blake Discher](http://groozi.com/)\]
– Audio is everything (in video) \[[Gail Mooney](http://www.kellymooney.com/)\]
There was so much more but as I type things out I realize it won’t do it justice. We’re preparing to share this information with our internal team here and I’d be happy to speak with anyone else who’s interested but your best bet is to attend SB3!

### [Behind the scenes at the San Francisco Condo Lottery](https://orangephotography.com/behind-the-scenes-at-the-san-francisco-condo-lottery/)
**Published:** February 2, 2011
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Have you ever heard about the [condo lottery](http://www.sfdpw.org/index.aspx?page=1242)? Chances are if you aren’t the owner of a TIC (Tenancy in Common) then probably not. One of the advantages to being a photographer is getting to see what goes on behind the scenes or observe politics and civics in action. Today, among being Chinese New Year and National Signing Day for college football, was the condo lottery and it was an interesting look into a group of homeowners who are looking to have their [dream of converting their TIC into a condo fulfilled](http://sf-tic.blogspot.com/2011/02/we-won-condo-lottery.html). [](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/genex2011_0026ƒ.jpg)Room 400 in City Hall was full of a mixture of homeowners, activists, and lawyers who specialize in condo conversions. As the lottery was conducted (yes, complete with a spinning container full of lottery tickets), the audience looked on with anticipation. The mix of people was a good cross section of San Francisco minus the crazy homeless and crackheads.
The first winner drawn jumped up in elation and everyone clapped. We stopped Tom (below) who had been in the lottery for seven years and just won. In all there were two properties that won twice (although duplicates don’t count), butmy own unit was not a winner. Ah well, it was an interesting experience and we’ll enter it again next year with fingers crossed!

### [Trends: High Concept Photography photo booths](https://orangephotography.com/trends-high-concept-photobooths-eventprofs/)
**Published:** February 22, 2011
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
So one of the things we’ve had a great time doing are High Concept Photography photo booths (we now call this our Studio Booth). Although they aren’t always actual photo booths, but more photo ‘experiences’ most people just know the term photobooth so we use that. Anyhow, we’ve produced some of these on our own as well as with our partners in the events industry. Above was our first internal one that we unofficially called a “Dexter” photo booth that honors the excellent Showtime show, [Dexter](http://www.sho.com/site/dexter/home.do).
Recently we worked with the amazing team at [Robert Fountain](http://www.robertfountain.com/) and got to work two high concept photo experiences that were part of a much larger party. The first one was an “I Love Lucy” themed chocolate factory set complete with an amazing Lucy:
The second set we worked with was CHiPs themed but with a twist. Here’s [Helena Price](http://queenofthepavement.com/) enjoying her work with us that evening:
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/4652_CHiPs_Lucy_0275ƒ.jpg)
Another fun one we did a little while ago was a Secret Agent themed party. The invitations and theme by the amazing [Eris Stassi](http://twitter.com/eris) were mysterious and cryptic and led to a secret location where we set up a stylized photo station for people to enjoy. After a few libations, the spies were in a more festive mood…

### [Movie Review: Art & Copy (psst, just watch it!)](https://orangephotography.com/movie-review-art-copy-psst-just-watch-it-2/)
**Published:** March 14, 2011
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
As photographers we are often in the same boat as the creatives who work in advertising – with similar clients, similar goals, and we’re often working together on projects. Having come from an agency background, watching [Art & Copy: Inside Advertising’s Creative Revolution](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003AWEZ74/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=genex9combodybui&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B003AWEZ74) was a joy.
Kevin here at the studio recommended it and [the documentary](http://www.artandcopyfilm.com/) does a good job of showing a lot of the people and personalities that have driven some of the most influential agencies in the advertising industry.
Anyone who’s worked in advertising will be able to relate to a lot of what’s said, but one of the more interesting things to see is how creativity and passion drives individuals like Lee Clow, Jeff Goodby and Hal Riney. Anyone can take something from this film but two things that stuck with me were the inspiration of the phrase “Just Do It” (both it’s conception, and how it later inspired so many others in such a variety of ways), as well as the quote on the movie poster: “Creativity can solve anything”
You can follow the film on twitter too [@artandcopyfilm](http://twitter.com/artandcopyfilm) (i can see that not that much of the creativity was applied to that twitter handle 😉

I [previously blogged](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/?p=2419) about a shoot with actress and funny woman [Zahra Noorbakhsh](http://www.zahracomedy.com/) and got to photograph her again at the studio last week! Her solo show [“All Atheists are Muslim”](http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/138920) 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 and in the image below she is impersonating her mother. Sorry, the Kanye glasses have nothing to do with the show. Just loved how ridiculous they looked!

Recently, I did photographs of [Goh Nakamura](http://www.gohnakamura.com) – local music hero and star of [Surrogate Valentine](http://surrogatevalentine.com/), a new feature film by Dave Boyle. I also have the honor of calling Goh my friend.
This past weekend the film made it’s world premiere at SXSW – It’s been getting a lot of great [buzzzz](http://www.ugo.com/movies/surrogate-valentine-review).
I look forward to finally checking it out tonight at the \*almost practically sold out\* closing night show at the [San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival](http://caam.gala-engine.com/2011/films-events/film/136/) here in San Francisco!
Check out the trailer and other goodies [here](http://surrogatevalentine.com/) and here. They’ve put a lot of heart into this project – congrats to Goh and the Surrogate Valentine crew!
We shot these around several different spots in North Beach and Chinatown – climbing hills, exploring alleys, looking for interesting, yet minimal backgrounds – always composing with vertical-ness in mind for the final poster image. It was nice to hang out and get caught up with Goh, who is always a pleasure to be around…

Now that Arnold Schwarzenegger is done with his responsibilities as Governor of California, he had more time to spend at the sporting event that bears his name – the [Arnold Sports Festival](http://www.arnoldsportsfestival.com/) – which includes the Arnold Classic, among many, many other competitions. The event is actually larger than the Olympics, even, and seems to keep growing. Typically I’m hired to shoot the women but the lead image I just had to take when I saw the dejected bodybuilder sitting on the floor.
Most of the shoots I did were with folks competing at the event, but I’m also asked to identify up-and-coming competitors or those who have a good look. One of my favorites that weekend was Heather Payne (below) who is training to compete in the NPC in the new women’s physique division.
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/4732_HeatherPayne_TanyaKim_0073ƒ.jpg)The Expo itself is the craziest portion of the event and it gets ridiculously crowded to the point where you can almost not even make your way around. Luckily as media, we can enter early and I ran into my friend Melissa DiBernardo on the empty expo floor before the deluge of people were let in (below):

### [Canon 300mm 2.8 review and what I learned about shooting soccer (futbol)](https://orangephotography.com/canon-300mm-2-8-review-and-what-i-learned-about-shooting-soccer-futbol/)
**Published:** March 29, 2011
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Sports photography was something I thought could be my dream job when I was a kid. I was always interested in who took the shots that were on baseball cards and other sports cards. Then I recall seeing [Walter Iooss](http://walteriooss.com/ "Walter Iooss")‘ images and really thinking that it would be sweet to be a sports photographer.
This past weekend I shot my first international soccer match: Mexico vs. Paraguay. It was exciting since we were shooting for one of the sponsors, Allstate, but also because Mexico’s Javier *Chicharito* Hernandez, would be playing. The star striker for Manchester United backed up his reputation with a header to score the opener right in front of me in the opening minutes.![](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27666%27%20height%3D%27484%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20666%20484%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27666%27%20height%3D%27484%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E "Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez vs paraguay")The last time I shot a professional sport, it was an NFL game between the San Francisco 49ers and Minnestoa Vikings, and for that I just had my 70-200 as my longest lens, but knew that wouldn’t do for a soccer match. Instead, I rented the Canon EF 300mm f/2.8 L USM Lens. The IS version wasn’t in, but I realize afterwards that the IS would definitely have helped out since with the longer focal lengths, you have much more magnified shake.
With soccer being such a fluid sport, shooting it is very difficult. You have to know the players and their tendencies and be lightning quick as the plays develop to capture the right shot. American football is a lot easier since they would set up each play/down so you sorta had an idea of where things might go. The lessons I learned were that you really have to think about your shots beforehand and have an idea of how you want to frame and shoot them so that when something happens along those lines, you are prepared.
I also realized that you can/should use a 400mm lens for soccer since at this match, at least, the media were only allowed certain areas where we could shoot. When the play was further away, and/or if you wanted to get in tighter, you’d need more glass than just the 300mm. Overall though, when you shoot a sport, you need to understand it, and you really can’t enjoy it in the same way as a fan would. That header that happened right in front of me would have been exciting except that I missed the money shot and didn’t even see the ball hit the back of the net.
You also get to appreciate how hard it is to tell what’s going on when you are on the pitch at the same level instead of the elevated view you get on TV and/or in the stands.

### [Book Review: Purple Cow by Seth Godin](https://orangephotography.com/book-review-purple-cow-by-seth-godin/)
**Published:** April 4, 2011
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
 [Seth Godin](http://www.sethgodin.com/sg/) should be a familiar name if you are a photographer and/or marketer. He has been writing books and speaking for some time now and I finally got around to reading one of his earlier texts: *[Purple Cow: Transform Your Business by Being Remarkable](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1591843170/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=orangephotography-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1591843170)*. The book was published in 2003 and it discusses a pretty basic principle which, in essence, the title gives away.
A purple cow gets attention because it’s remarkable – so your product or service should be too. It’s nothing really new, but as creative professionals we should remember that this is also what makes what we do unique. Every photographer really should already have this advantage. However, if your style does not have something to it that stands out, perhaps it’s your service levels? At Orange, we strive to provide a level of professionalism that’s consistent, coupled with tremendous service and responsiveness, which is all supported by our team structure, and socially responsible and green business practices.
Perhaps the last page entitled “What would Orwell say?” puts it best with four phrases from the book:
- Don’t Be Boring
- Safe Is Risky
- Design Rules Now
- Very Good Is Bad
What do you think?

### [Interview: Alan Bamberger](https://orangephotography.com/interview-alan-bamberger/)
**Published:** April 25, 2011
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/4706_LaurentStudio_0088f.jpg)
If you’ve been attending art openings in San Francisco then no doubt you have probably seen Alan Bamberger taking in the shows. He’s almost omnipresent and we lucked out and got to ask him a few questions about what he does and his perspective on all things art here in San Francisco! We’re going to be making this a more regular feature on our blog so if you know of interesting folks that we can feature, let us know!
**1) Tell us your name and what it is that you do:**
My name is Alan Bamberger. I run the website [artbusiness.com](http://artbusiness.com) and am an art consultant, advisor, appraiser and writer.
**2) Why did you choose San Francisco as your home base?** I moved to Northern California in the mid 1970s to continue my studies in psychology. Most of the innovative techniques were emanating out of Northern California at that time. I decided fairly early on not to pursue psychology, but loved the area and decided to stay.
**3) And what are some of the trends you see in the art scene in SF?** The SF art scene is always energized and experimental. It’s a great place for artists to get a feel for where they want to go with their art. As for trends, I think the main trend I see is that more and more artists are calling the Bay Area home, and as a result, the opportunities to show art here and get involved in a very active community continue to increase.
**4) You are extremely prolific in attending art openings. How do you maintain such a hectic schedule?** ADD, I suppose (attention deficit disorder). It’s hard for me to sit still for any length of time in any one place, so rather than fret about it, I use it to my advantage.
**5) Is there anything about the art scene that bothers you here in San Francisco and/or nationally? Internationally?** In SF, I really wish more of the locals patronized more galleries and artists, and that they’d come to the realization that good art is actually worth paying for. There’s this perennial bargain-basement mentality here in town, and as a result, it’s been historically difficult to wring a nickel out of a San Franciscan for pretty much anything. Hopefully one day that skinflint mindset will change.
**6) You work a lot with emerging as well as established artists – what piece of advice would you have for either constituency?** A few words will suffice here: perseverance, dedication, commitment, working every day, believing in yourself and your art, and doing what’s necessary to inform others as to what your mission and your work are all about.
**7) Who are some artists that you feel are about to break out and/or are underappreciated and why?** I’ll tell you why I don’t answer questions like this. One month it’s one artist, and the next month it’s another. To see who I’m getting behind on any given night or week or month, read my SF art show coverage– [www.artbusiness.com/openings.html](http://www.artbusiness.com/openings.html) . That’s about as close as I come to weighing in on who’s currently out front in the art race. An artist’s track record has to be pretty solid and consistent over a significant period of time for me to say anything with any permanency about it, and by the time that happens, pretty much everyone knows anyway.
**8) What other arts do you enjoy (e.g. opera, music, poetry, film)?** I like ’em all. Used to go to plenty of modern dance back in the late seventies and early eighties. And believe it or not, during that same time, I was a dance club junkie. Also used to buy standing-room tickets to the SF Opera back in the day. Poets and writers, perhaps not so much (seems kind of weird for a writer to be saying that, I know). Music, I hate to admit it but I’m a bit of a head-banger, or at least I used to be.
**9) Curation itself can be an art form of sorts. Are there any curators that stand out? And why?** Like I said above, I tend to go show by show. There are so many ups and downs in artland, that putting my chips down on any single gallery, curator, artist or movement seems like a consummate waste of time, even in casual chit-chat. I much prefer letting history play itself out and then sorting it all out once the dust settles. In the meantime, I do what I can to document the action.

### [Guest Blog: Putting the Photo in Photo-Philanthropy - Sarah Cross](https://orangephotography.com/guest-blog-putting-the-photo-in-photo-philanthropy-sarah-cross/)
**Published:** April 21, 2011
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Helping others has always been something close to my heart and a large reason why I became a photojournalist. That…and I love making images. As the saying goes “a picture is worth a thousand words”. It is a powerful communication platform that allows people to experience the story, struggles and celebrations of others around the world and sometimes in your own backyard.
Recently I discovered the word “photolanthropy” (say that three times fast) as the perfect description for what I love to do. It is photography for social change. Promoting the welfare of others through photographing personal projects to give a voice to those without. I personally love to focus on the positive in situations to hopefully inspire more positive in the world. (A key reason I love shooting weddings and working with Orange Photography….a big positive orange burst!)
I have completed a handful of photolanthropy projects that have taken me to a post-Katrina New Orleans with John Edwards, a Honduran mud-hut with faith-based volunteers, and on the road and into sweat lodges with Native American elder, Uncle Fred Wahpepah.
Check out the Kickstarter page of my current super sweet project and support and share if you can. For more information on talented photo-philanthropers out there, check out [www.photophilanthropy.org](http://www.photophilanthropy.org/)

### [Onward Book Review](https://orangephotography.com/onward-book-review/)
**Published:** April 26, 2011
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
[](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1605292885/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=orangephotography-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1605292885)Chances are you’ve been into a Starbucks at some point and if not, that you know the brand. People have all sorts of feelings about Starbucks but one thing is for sure – they’ve had a very interesting ride as a company. This book tells of the experience of Howard Schultz, the two-time CEO and spokesperson of the company.
[Onward](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1605292885/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=orangephotography-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1605292885 "Onward") is a quick read and as a business owner of an expanding business, I was particularly curious about what sort of challenges they faced as they grew. Obviously we’re no Starbucks, but I’ve found that you can learn from the history of almost any business.
The key lessons learned that I think are relevant to Orange are the LEAN principles of feedback on processes as well as reassurances that using your guiding principles is a great way to steer your business when the waters get murky or you don’t know exactly how to proceed. Our company, like Starbucks, is focused on maintaining standards of social responsibility and green practices so those factors make it easier at times for us to decide how we want to improve our business.
Some interesting quotes from the book that resonated with me in regards to Orange:
- *“The great companies will be the ones that find a way to have a hold on to their values while chasing their profits, and brand value will converge to create a new business model that unites commerce and compassion. The heart and the wallet… The great companies of this century will be sharp to success and at the same time sensitive to the idea that you can’t measure the true success of a company on a spreadsheet.”* Believe it or not that came from Bono of U2, and it’s funny to think of him saying words like spreadsheet and business model.
- *“Large numbers are not what matter. The only number that matters is ‘one.’ One cup. One customer. One partner. One experience at a time.”* Schultz himself said this; I can easily reinterpret the quote to reflect our values here at Orange: “One shot. One client. One partner.”
- *“Grow with discipline. Balance intuition with rigor. Innovate around the core. Don’t embrace the status quo. Find new ways to see. Never expect a silver bullet. Get your hands dirty. Listen with empathy and communicate with transparency. Tell your story, refusing to let others define you. Use authentic experiences to inspire. Stick to your values, they are your foundation. Hold people accountable but give them the tools to succeed. Make the tough choices; it’s how you execute that counts. Be decisive in times of crisis. Be nimble. Find truth in trials and lessons in mistakes. Be responsible for what you see, hear, and do. Believe.”* This final quote comes towards the end of the book when Schultz summarizes what he had to do to turn the company around.
Overall, it was a good read and I’d recommend it for anyone interested in learning about how to grow a business while remaining true to your values.

### [Go see Bill Cunningham New York now! (Film Review)](https://orangephotography.com/go-see-bill-cunningham-new-york-now-film-review/)

**Content:**
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/billcunninghamnewyork.photo03sm.jpg)Bill Cunningham photographing in the street, in BILL CUNNINGHAM NEW YORK. A film by Richard Press. A Zeitgeist Films release. Photo credit: First Thought Films / Zeitgeist Films
Photography is something that many people are passionate about (like us!) but even if you are passionate about something else, you will identify with parts of ***[Bill Cunningham New York](http://www.zeitgeistfilms.com/billcunninghamnewyork/)***, the excellent film about the legendary New York Times photographer. The film takes a fascinating look at Cunningham’s life/style and the choices he’s made throughout his life. I’ve seen his work for years, but like many, did not know his backstory and much else about his personal life either.
If you are a photographer, then you’ll also enjoy watching him work. The pure joy he has while photographing is evident and his moral compass is an admiral guide to his actions.
The man is a workhorse too and made me feel a bit lazy. But in some senses he’s almost a tragic figure but also someone I admire at the same time. Check out the film and see what you think. One thing I can almost guarantee: When you exit the theater, you’ll be looking at the folks you see with a new eye!

### [Documentary review: architectural photographer Julius Shulman](https://orangephotography.com/documentary-review-architectural-photographer-julius-shulman-draft/)
**Published:** May 2, 2011
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Case Study House #22 is perhaps the most iconic and famous of Julius Shulman’s photographs and it is one of the many subjects in the documentary *[Visual Acoustics: The Modernism of Julius Shulman](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00366BBU8/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=orangephotography-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00366BBU8)*.
The film is quite educational and many iconic buildings that Shulman photographed are described with details on his creative process as well as what went into particular shots.
What’s interesting is that similar to [Bill Cunningham](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/?p=4921), Shulman also is very focused. The drive and devotion it takes to excel in a field is evident and although the two are very different from each other, there are many similarities.
If you are interested in photography or architecture then you should definitely check the film out. I do wish at some points that they would have gone into more of the creative process but there are other films for that!
Oh and if you want to throw a party at Case Study House #22 (now known as the Stahl House), [you can](http://www.stahlhouse.com/gatherings)!

At 10AM on Saturday June 4th a group of 18 participants met in downtown San Jose to [Walk the Commute](http://www.walkthecommute.com/). Their challenge was to walk from downtown San Jose to Justin Herman Plaza in San Francisco in one day. Without sleep. As it turns out, it was also raining.
At 10:30AM, the group of 18 departed and the support volunteers went into action preparing supplies for the walkers to use at rest stops ahead. Despite hours of stormy weather the walkers moved toward their goal -shoes soaked through before they were even a fifth of the way to the end point. Some luck brought a sunny afternoon to dry them off, and clear skies for the rest of the walk.
With a great deal of ambition and determination, half of the walkers conquered that intimidating distance and made it to the end. After walking all day and all night for just over 52 miles, they gathered on the steps of Justin Herman Plaza to enjoy the morning sun over San Francisco Bay. Here are the photos from the finish line.

### [Book Review: Tell to Win](https://orangephotography.com/tell-to-win-review/)
**Published:** July 28, 2011
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
As a small business we’re always striving to improve and this occurs on several fronts. We are always looking at what trends are going on in the photography world (and hopefully helping set some) as well as looking inward at how we can better improve our business . The book I read during my most recent trip to shoot on location was *Tell to Win* by Peter Guber.
Gruber’s focus in the book is to emphasize and illustrate how you can “Connect, Persuade and Triumph with the Hidden Power of Story” – as it says on the cover of the book. As photographers, we are inherently storytellers. Especially on the wedding photography side – since we primarily shoot documentary style, it’s important for us to be able to tell the story of the wedding day through our photography. The funny thing is how important story is, not just in our photographic world, but in business too.
One of the interesting anecdotes had to do with a gallery owner who knew that when selling the photography in his gallery it was really about the story of the images. This totally applies to us as well as many other types of businesses. If you aren’t just competing as a low priced option then it’s the story you tell that really sells your service. The story has to be relevant and customized to the needs of your audience or else it won’t work. For us photographers this should be relatively simple, but so many of us fail at this. Of course through using techniques like active listening and keeping in mind that it’s better to be interested than interesting, we can all improve these skills. There’s so much more in the book, and it’s a pretty quick read so I would definitely recommend it to other small business owners.

### [The rooftop Airstream RV in San Francisco](https://orangephotography.com/the-aistream-rv-on-a-tenderloin-rooftop/)
**Published:** September 23, 2011

I’ve always dug that old Airstream on the roof of a building in the Tenderloin and I just assumed everyone in SF knew about it and lately I keep asking people if they know about it. Anyhow, it’s on the roof of 130-132 Turk and you can see if from the street. [Legend has it](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frjbw9aBkzA) that it was an old gay bath house in the day, but another story (a la REO Speedwagon’s Take it on the Run style of knowledge dissipation) is that there are four Irish brothers that own the building and they got it up on to the roof to be their new clubhouse.

Or donate to David and Lawrence’s wedding registry and ask them about living in the rooftop Airstream: [https://secure3.convio.net/hrc/site/Donation2?df\_id=9784&9784.donation=form1&JServSessionIdr004=byy4401t52.app304a](https://secure3.convio.net/hrc/site/Donation2?df_id=9784&9784.donation=form1&JServSessionIdr004=byy4401t52.app304a)

**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Here at Orange we love retro tech such as [Polaroid film](http://shop.the-impossible-project.com/?ref=orange) as well as the latest digital gear, so on my last trip to Las Vegas, I made a stop at the [Pinball Hall of Fame](http://www.pinballmuseum.org/). The building it’s housed in is quite modest and you can just walk in either door. There’s no entry fee so you can immediately start to peruse the selection of games which include video games as well as pinball machines from as far back as the 1930s. They have some rare machines such as Midway’s “The Pinball Circus” which was a prototype machine that there are only two of in the world. Classics like Medieval Madness are in great working form, and you’ll be hard-pressed not to have a good time for a relatively small amount of money. They also take donations online and even donate money back to local charities so there’s no reason not to support them! Make it a stop on your next trip to Las Vegas!

**Content:**
[](http://herbanddorothy.com/)If you don’t know who the Vogels are (and even if you do) you should definitely check out the award-winning documentary [Herb & Dorothy](http://herbanddorothy.com/hd1/ "Herb & Dorothy documentary"), directed by first-time filmmaker [Megumi Sasaki](http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/herb-and-dorothy/filmmakers.html "Megumi Sasaki"). The film tells the story of a charming couple, postal clerk (Herbert Vogel) and librarian (Dorothy Vogel), who built a contemporary art collection with very little. The film shows how dedicated [the Vogels](http://vogel5050.org/#about "the Vogels") have been to art and how their art *collecting* is an art form in itself. It was intriguing to see how the Vogels get immersed in the creative process, even buying pieces that were drafts or elements of that process and not finished pieces.
The film includes appearances from noteworthy [featured artists](http://herbanddorothy.com/hd1/?page_id=36#Artists "Featured Artists") such as Chuck Close, and it’s also inspiring to be reminded there are generous spirits like the Vogels. They donated a large portion of their collection to the [National Gallery of Art](http://www.nga.gov) in Washington, DC. and had a successful [kickstarter](http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1960505270/herb-and-dorothy-50x50 "Kickstarter") campaign for their [50×50](http://vogel5050.org/ "Vogel 50x50") site to donate 50 pieces of their collection to each of the 50 states in the USA.
Definitely check out [Herb & Dorothy](http://herbanddorothy.com/hd1/ "Herb & Dorothy"), and you can [support](http://herbanddorothy.com/support "Support") the completion & release of their follow-up film, [50×50](http://herbanddorothy.com/ "50x50").

We’ve had the privilege of photographing the [49ers](http://www.49ers.com) in a variety of contexts from shooting the game on the sidelines at Candlestick, to covering one of the first events Alex Smith had as a new 49er, to shooting at training camp in Santa Clara. Each time the players were gracious and while there has been a lot of turnover in the staff since we first started shooting them, we’ve always been fans of our local team so it’s even more exciting now that we’re now playing against the New York Giants this Sunday afternoon for a chance to be in the Super Bowl! Normally we’re apt to say “Go Giants” when it’s baseball season but for now we want the Giants to lose.
Not that we’re sports prognosticators, but I predict we’ll see [Frank Gore](http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/players/playerpage/411568/frank-gore) have more of a say in this game, as well as another tough and close game, but that our hometown heroes will prevail! And from my alma mater, here’s to a Carlos Rogers pick six!
Below is a shot from right after Alex Smith was drafted by the 49ers. Then, our mayor was Gavin Newsom and everyone’s hopes were up for a bright future. This photo was taken at the launch party for the Alex Smith Foundation, his charity for kids in foster care.
Finally a shot from the team this year when were were down at training camp in Santa Clara in their locker room. From left to right are: TE [Delanie Walker](https://twitter.com/#!/Dwalk46) (who we hope to see playing on Sunday), LB [NaVorro Bowman](https://twitter.com/#!/NBowman53), RB [Anthony Dixon](https://twitter.com/#!/Boobie24Dixon) (total ham!), QB [Colin Kaepernick](https://twitter.com/#!/Kaepernick7), and DB [C.J.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
### Orange Photography celebrates launch of new brand, *Crush*, by announcing 10K Crush Contest on Valentine’s Day

### [The Zappos Insights Tour](https://orangephotography.com/the-zappos-insights-tour/)
**Published:** February 8, 2012
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
[Zappos](http://www.zappos.com) probably means different things to different people, but to us at Orange Photography, we think of them as a company with a great culture and focus on customer service – two values we hold quite dear ourselves – so it was fun to finally get to check out the [Zappos Insights](http://www.zapposinsights.com/ "Zappos Insights") Tour at their headquarters in Las Vegas.
While they are about to make a move to downtown, which is personally, my favorite part of Vegas, there was a lot going on at the offices and it reminded me of many tech companies here in the Bay Area. It was interesting that many of the folks on the tour had never seen a workplace like this before since I had assumed that a lot of this type of more casual work environment had filtered out.
One thing you couldn’t escape was how integrated the core values and culture was critical to Zappos. From standard things in the tech world like free food cafeterias and great benefits, there was also a lot of things they did that I hadn’t heard of in larger companies. One of those things was that everyone in the company does four weeks of customer service training. It doesn’t matter if you are the new CFO or a CLT, you go through this same training, and during the holiday crunch, everyone in the company (again from the top down) does 10 hours of customer service. This reminded me of when I first met [Craig Newmark](https://twitter.com/#!/craignewmark), the founder of Craigslist, who was still doing customer service even though the company had grown so much.
That service focus though, is what defines the culture at Zappos, and a phrase you heard repeatedly was “we’re a customer service company that happens to sell products.” And the focus on culture is so huge that after the four weeks of training that kicks off everyone’s career at Zappos, if they don’t think they are a fit, they can quit right then, and Zappos will give them $4000 on the spot.
On the business side, I was interested in what motivated people at Zappos, and it turns out the benefits and culture are key. The company itself was not profitable for a long time because of the benefits they had given to their employees, but that, combined with their culture has become one of their competitive advantages.
From a hiring perspective, they get 30,000 applications each year, and less than 1% of those folks are hired. The #1 criteria for hiring? It’s not qualifications so much as cultural fit. As one employee told me: “everyone is respected for what they **can** do, and are empowered to create and innovate.”
From a photography perspective, they shoot everything in-house in the Kentucky facility, use real models to show how the clothes fit, and include the stats for the models so you have something to compare against.
A last piece of trivia: did you know their longest customer service call to date (as of our tour on Feb. 6, 2012) was clocked in at 8 hours and 49 minutes, and that person didn’t even buy anything. In fact, you can call their customer service line and talk to them about anything even – try it out: 1-800-927-7671.

We photographed chef Aaron London of [Ubuntu](http://www.ubuntunapa.com/) for the cover of [Smart Meetings magazine](http://www.smartmeetings.com/) last year and got to try out some food there as well which was a treat! This year, he’s a semifinalist for the [James Beard Foundation’s Rising Star Chef of the Year Award](http://www.jamesbeard.org/files/2012_JBF_SEMIFINALISTS.pdf). In the Bay Area we’re so fortunate to have a plethora of fantastic options for dining and some of the best chefs in the world. It’s great to see someone chill like Aaron be a semi-finalist for such a prestigious award. This is one of the shots that wasn’t used in the article, but that I like personally…
Also, a few years back we had taken our entire Orange team for an offsite in wine country and had lunch at Ubuntu so we’re happy that we got to go there as a team. Although they are on sabbatical right now, the yoga studio is still open and we look forward to going back to check it out once they reopen the restaurant portion! Congrats Aaron!

We were honored to photograph [President Barrack Obama](http://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/president-obama) during a recent fundraiser held at the [Nob Hill Masonic Center](http://www.masonicauditorium.com/). Gene was there to capture some great images and fun tidbits from the night. The President gave a passionate speech which resulted in some enthusiastic crowd members to shout out “I love you” with the President responding with “I love you too”. [Chris Cornell](http://chriscornell.com/home/) of Soundgarden was there and played an [acoustic tribute to Whitney Houston](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgFAq9Q8l8U) that got the crowd going. All in all, quite a memorable evening!

### [Seeking inspiration?](https://orangephotography.com/seeking-inspiration/)
**Published:** March 27, 2012
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
In these busy times it’s often hard to find inspiration for ideas whether it’s for your photography, or for running your photography business. One of the ways I like to spend time is listening to [This American Life](http://www.thisamericanlife.org/) when I travel or when it’s actually on the air. The program is fantastic with all sorts of stories about an unimaginable number of subjects. There’s something for everyone and a few favorites of mine include the following:
You can also find inspiration in the weirdest places, and from listening to the program, you might find yourself struck with a new concept or perspective you hadn’t thought of before. This often happens for me when I am traveling and being forced to take some down time.
[Middle School](http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/449/middle-school) – Act Four: Who knew morning announcements have evolved so much. Theme “loss of innocence”
[The Incredible Case of the P.I. Moms](http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/447/the-incredible-case-of-the-pi-moms): this one is just plain hilarious and yet shows so much about what makes people tick…
[Poultry Slam 2011](http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/452/poultry-slam-2011). Act Two: Tom the terrorizing turkey of Martha’s vineyard.
What I Learned: did you know that San Francisco banned chickens playing tic tac toe (due to animal cruelty)
You might be asking, “Why is that useful in business?? Because stories are memorable and as we all should know, you are your brand (especially as a photographer). So when you are out any time and meeting folks or at a networking event, if you have some relevant and interesting stories to tell, you & your brand become more memorable. Then the next time that person or business needs what you provide, they can more easily remember whom to call.

We shot for [Automattic](http://automattic.com/) last week and one of the coolest things was the Macbook Airs that a few folks had. CEO Toni Schneider is shown here showing off his laptop in the photo above and I was like, I gotta have that too! It’s also a great marketing/branding element for anyone who’s got folks out in the field a lot. And it’s a great corporate gift as well. You can read about it in [Toni’s own blog post](http://toni.org/2012/04/02/why-its-so-fun-to-modify-a-macbook-air/) or go directly to the Colorwave site – it’s the option for “[Corporate Branding](http://www.colorware.com/corporate.aspx)” and they have a [gallery of examples of other products they can do as well here](http://www.colorware.com/imagegalleries.aspx?galFilter=5).

### [Art Basel is not the only thing going on in Miami's art scene](https://orangephotography.com/art-basel-is-not-the-only-thing-going-on-in-miamis-art-scene/)
**Published:** April 5, 2012
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
On my most recent trip to Miami, I had the fortune to actually get out of South Beach (where I typically am for shoots) and head into Miami proper, this time checking out the [Wynwood Arts District](http://www.wynwoodmiami.com/). This area has undergone a renaissance of late, and anyone who’s been to Art Basel Miami has no doubt enjoyed the resurgence.
On this particular day (a Monday), not all of the gallery spaces were open, but there’s still a ton to check out in the area. The [Wynwood Walls](http://thewynwoodwalls.com/) are perhaps the most well known places to go, and with good reason. There’s a café in the area, but really it’s the art itself which is the star. One of my favorite pieces was by Japanese artist [AIKO](http://www.ladyaiko.com/). I immediately recognized the Glico man, which any Nihonjin would, and then went through the rest of the piece enjoying the elements that make it up. In this whole area are a ton of interesting murals and installations (I am not sure if they rotate out very often). I was first drawn in by the Aung San Suu Kyi image by [Shepard Fairey](http://obeygiant.com/) since the Myanmar by-elections had just happened (and I think she’s such a badass!).
You really have to explore the area to find all kinds of murals and street art gems but for me the standout was the [Liqen piece called “Vision of Wall Street Labyrinth”](http://thewynwoodwalls.com/Wynwood-Walls-Artists/Liqen.asp) (detail from it above). It’s massive and detailed and speaks to so much of what America and American business has become on a large scale. Another artists who’s work I liked is [La Pandilla](http://www.la-pandilla.com/) who has several pieces around the neighborhood including the one below which welcomed me to the neighborhood after hopping off the bus nearby.
There was another Wynwood building/space that wasn’t in full swing, although I would love to check it out when it is. There’s a ton of independent galleries in the area as well and it seems more and more are sprouting up in this district. It’s also a great place to do photoshoots with a nice industrial feel so the next time I’m out there, I think I’ll try and shoot around the area. Definitely worth exploring on your next trip to Miami!
You can also [see the rest of the images from the Wynwood Arts District we snapped on our Facebook page](http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150710642792552.421674.47607512551&type=3).

As a CPS ([Canon Professional Services](http://www.cps.usa.canon.com/)) member, there are a few things you get that are nice perks but one of the newer things we got this year was the CPS magazine (now in its sixth issue). Since it’s published by Canon there’s an obvious bent towards their products but they do feature some great photography as well. Particularly notable was [Nick Cobbing](http://www.nickcobbing.co.uk/)’s work around Greenland illustrating climate change. You can see some of that work on his website and it’s pretty great stuff.
Some of it reminded me of [Edward Burtynsky](http://www.edwardburtynsky.com/), another one of my favorite photographers that also likes to explore the impact us human beings have on our world.
[Gerd Ludwig](http://gerdludwig.com/) is also in the issue and more of his work in Russia is included. I had read the [National Geographic piece he had done earlier](http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2008/08/moscow-night/smith-text), but it’s nice to get more of his own perspective on the project as a whole.

### [Video, iPhones and more… tools vs creativity](https://orangephotography.com/video-iphones-and-more-tools-vs-creativity/)
**Published:** April 10, 2012
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Now as photographers we’ve probably all heard enough of how DSLR video was revolutionizing what everyone could do with video and of course phone cameras are now the number one image capture device for most Americans. Now with the video capabilities of phones improving there seems to be more and more focus on what can be done with that medium.
Will photographers need to rely on these tools at times? Perhaps? But already there have been movies made with mobile phones (one by our very own local DJ and now filmmaker, Hooman Khalili: [Olive](http://www.olivethemovie.com/)), and I just heard on [To The Best of Our Knowledge](http://ttbook.org/) about [Goldilocks](http://vimeo.com/15608787), an episodic show shot only on the iPhone. It’s pretty fun to watch and one of the things the producers mentioned about using the iPhone as a video camera was the ability to go where other video cameras could not before, because of form factor.
That led me to think about what other types of photography (and possibly video) could be done utilizing the tools that now make shooting more flexible. From clamps and remote-controlled helicopters, technological advances have opened up our creativity to new options that in the past were not possible and/or within the budget of most individuals. So the next time you are thinking about what you can’t do, think about what kind of tools are already out there and what you might be able to create out of them. After all, we ARE creative professionals, aren’t we?

As a San Francisco Green Business we’ve always loved Earth Day and supported efforts to green our business as much as we can. In fact, we started out as a digital studio back in 2001 because we liked how digital wasn’t as chemically intensive as traditional film processing was. Anyhow, we’ve had a good Earth Day week so far, covering the Mayor’s Earth Day Breakfast on Wednesday and doing a lot of shoots outdoors in the wonderful weather we’ve been having. The mayor’s staff [tweeted this during the breakfast](https://twitter.com/#!/mayoredlee/status/192669952703086592) and the image above is the shot we snapped [while that shot was taken](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/mayor_earth_day_gene.jpg) (or as close as we could guess).

We also have some special offerings including marine photo booth options and other cool ideas that can make America’s Cup events unique. Our Polaroid coverage is also pretty popular and we’ve been shooting [Impossible Project](http://www.the-impossible-project.com/) film quite a bit. It’s funny that some people don’t even believe that it’s still Polaroid when we are shooting (and once someone told us the photos look like Instagram!)

**Content:**
As a growing business we’ve now got people in more than one location so we’ve been doing more and more remote collaboration to get things done. Some of the tools we love and how we use them are the subject of this post and hopefully they can help you out as well.
[Lifehacker](http://lifehacker.com/) is a great website for tips and tricks – we subscribe to their RSS feed and always love what they post…
[Dropbox](http://db.tt/vt8GD9A): this is one of my faves since it’s useful to back up data or share files and sync them up. When we do live projection we sometimes send the photos from one computer to another via Dropbox to project them elsewhere.
[Doodle](http://www.doodle.com/): although I loathe to say it out loud, this tool is useful for scheduling meeting times when it’s hard to figure out what works for everyone.
Got a Facebook event that you need to export the guest list for? Don’t see that function on Facebook? Yeah us too! So we use [Evuli](http://evu.li/get): it let’s you export your full list in an spreadsheet with tabs for each reply type.
For iPhone users here are two useful apps: [Genius Scan](http://www.thegrizzlylabs.com/genius-scan/) and [ImagetoText](http://www.ricohinnovations.com/imagetotext-iphone). Genius Scan is great for us to use when you need to make a PDF of a document when you are on site. You can just use the phone’s camera and take a pic and it’ll save it out as a PDF that you can email or sync up with your Evernote. With ImagetoText, you can use it as an OCR scanner. If you read a nice passage that you want to share in an email as actual text instead of an image or PDF, then it’s a good tool for that.
Let us know of any other tools you like as well!

### [First Exposures kills it!](https://orangephotography.com/first-exposures-kills-it/)
**Published:** April 30, 2012

Last Thursday was the benefit auction for the [First Exposures](http://www.sfcamerawork.org/education/first_exposures/index.php) mentoring program at SF Camerawork and the fundraiser raised over $60,000 – the biggest fundraiser to date! We had a packed house at the gallery and there was a lot of great work up. [Alan Bamberger](http://www.artbusiness.com/openings.html) made an appearance as did a ton of others there to support the program. Having been a mentor for over four years, it was great to see such a big turnout for the kids who all seemed to be having a great time.
As Erik Auerbach, Director of Education, stated: “Your generosity enables us to continue providing essential one-to-one photography mentoring to underserved Bay Area youth. Your contributions help us provide a creative outlet to these deserving young artists. Thank you for being a part of our critical work. We couldn’t have achieved this success without your commitment to arts education in San Francisco.”
We also donated one of our photobooths for the event which was a big hit. Below are some candids as well as some shots from the photobooth. The wines you see are from [Goosecross Cellars](http://goosecross.com/) and have labels with photographs by the mentees. You can [buy their wines online](http://store.torchlightcellars.com/wine-shop-benefiting-first-exposures-c2.aspx) and support First Exposures.

### [My First Favorite... beer](https://orangephotography.com/my-first-favorite-beer/)
**Published:** May 8, 2012
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Several weeks ago, [Steal Like an Artist](http://www.austinkleon.com/2011/03/30/how-to-steal-like-an-artist-and-9-other-things-nobody-told-me/) was trending online and it’s a great perspective (read it if you haven’t yet).
One of the things I like to ‘steal’ are ideas from experiences. In the strictest sense this isn’t really stealing, but more like inspiration. However, when you travel a lot for shoots, you have opportunities to explore and get ideas. Between my two shoots in Texas last week I had the chance to stop by Shiner, TX, home to the [Spoetzl Brewery](http://www.shiner.com/), home of Shiner Bock beer, my first favorite beer.
That gave me an idea (only now as I started to write this blog post) about a fun theme for a shoot or ongoing series: “My First Favorite”
I think we all can remember a lot of our firsts since they often leave an impact. My first actual beer was a Michelob Dark (don’t ask) and the first girl I liked was Jenny Uhl in elementary school. My first favorite soda was Coca-Cola and my first favorite Dairy Queen dessert was the [Peanut Buster Parfait](https://www.google.com/search?ix=hea&q=Peanut%20Buster%20Parfait&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&authuser=0&ei=BxOmT4_CL-SpiAK-9v3mAg&biw=1069&bih=692&sei=EhOmT7GuKK3SiAKAs6iNCg).
Well, visiting Shiner was cool since I’ve grown to appreciate beer a lot more since my college days at the University of Texas in Austin when I first encountered Shiner Bock. At the brewery they give you a free tour complete with four free tastes of their beer straight from the source. I tried, in order, their Pale Ale, since that’s a style I generally enjoy (althought their’s was lighter than I typically like), the Black Lager, since it’s a style I enjoy but not that frequently, and then their seasonal, which was their Ruby Redbird. It’s a summer ale I think and had definitely hints of grapefruit and ginger. Lots of tang for sure and a little kick. Finally I ended up on my old friend Shiner Bock.
The tour there goes over the history of the town and brewery since both are intertwined. As a business owner, I always am interested in how they grew their business and what I might be able to apply to my own business. Currently the brewery employs 90 people and is still family owned.
They brew eight beers at a time, and each year they produce about 600,000 barrels of beer. All of their beers are also kosher certified and they have the only bottle flaw detection device of it’s kind in the US that runs on the bottling line.
Many people also don’t realize that the Blonde was their first beer, but when the brewery was started by Kosmos Spoetzl, he realized that the Bock was a much better beer so they pushed that instead. In more recent years they have pushed the blonde since it’s been much improved from those early days. This is something that happens often in many businesses and is something to keep in mind – to work with your strengths, but to also develop your weaknesses.
1973 was the first year when they went into full production of Shiner Bock and it’s the #1 specialty beer in Texas, and #5 in the United States and is availble in 40 states.

As a [San Francisco Green Business](http://www.sfgreenbusiness.org/) and the first photography studio to earn the City and County of San Francisco’s designation for that, we’re always happy to see more green related conferences happening. It’s a trend that we are in full support of and we look forward to working with many of the companies in town for Greenbuild. For those not familiar the conference is the world’s largest expo and conference dedicated to green building.
While we at Orange don’t own our own building, that’s one of the things we’re working towards and we’d love to have a green building. Next door to my house they just installed solar panels on all of Valencia Gardens so it’s great to see so much of that happening in the city. [Moscone Center](http://www.moscone.com), which is hosting the conference and expo also has solar panels and we’re proud to live in such a progressive city with regards to green buildings.
We also have green photobooth solutions and are looking forward to working with companies and individuals who are in town for the Greenbuild in November. If you have any video, photobooth or event photography or convention photography needs [just let us know](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/contact/qb)!

### [Book Review: What Got You Here, Won't Get You There](https://orangephotography.com/book-review-what-got-you-here-wont-get-you-there/)
**Published:** May 24, 2012
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Successful people have little reason to change… makes sense doesn’t it? That’s sort of the gist behind [Marshall Goldsmith](http://www.marshallgoldsmithlibrary.com/)’s book “[What Got You Here, Won’t Get You There](http://www.powells.com/biblio/7-9781401301309-2)”. It’s a great read for anyone who works with others and/or is a leader so it really hit home for me. As a small business, one of our most important assets is our people, and we’re always striving to make Orange a better place to be.
One of the big sections of the book talks about the faults that can be holding people back. As I read through the list I could identify ones that I have, as well as ones I’ve noted in others. It’s hard to self-analyze so they recommend doing 360 reviews that are confidential. At a smaller company though we don’t have the luxury of having an HR person administer it so we have to make do.
There are also a lot of insightful tips on how you can figure out how people are perceiving you just from casual comments and Goldsmith goes into the importance of listening as well, something that seems to be a common theme in many leadership books. Of course in the end, reading and learning about how to improve are great, but if you don’t actually implement anything then it’s all for naught. So we’re working to implement many of these behavioral changes since as he says in the book, at a certain level, it’s more about behaviors in how you can excel and grow as a leader…

### [Book Review: Zilch](https://orangephotography.com/book-review-zilch/)
**Published:** May 22, 2012
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Zilch is a book about doing more with less, something we hold as a value at Orange. Since our inception, we’ve always valued that, not just because we bootstrapped our company but also from a social responsibility angle. Waste is something we don’t like, especially when reducing it can both save the environment and save you money so this booked piqued my interest.
It’s written by [Nancy Lublin](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_Lublin) who started [DonorsChoose.org](http://www.donorschoose.org/) as well as [Dress for Success](http://www.dressforsuccess.org/). There are a lot of lessons and each chapter has one of 11 ways of getting more bang with less buck including topics like “Do More with Your Story”, “Do More with Less Cash to Throw at People” and “Do More by Bartering with Zero”.
A central theme throughout, though, was the importance of thanking people. Whether they are your own staff and team members or your clients or even your suppliers. This is something we’re working to improve on and especially myself as a co-founder of the business.
A topic we’ve had challenges with in the past is hiring and Lublin says something very similar to what Tony Hsieh of Zappos says – hire for passion! And that’s what we’re currently looking for in the [positions we have posted on our site](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/opportunities).

### [Review: Bottle Shock](https://orangephotography.com/review-bottle-shock/)
**Published:** May 17, 2012
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Recently I saw Sideways again during a trip up to wine country as part of an incentive trip we were shooting. One of the tour guides mentioned [Bottle Shock](http://www.bottleshockmovie.com/) as a better option since it’s about Napa wines more than Sideways was so I knew it was time to finally check it out.
If you don’t know the famous story of the [1976 Paris Tasting](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judgment_of_Paris_(wine)) that vaulted California wines to popularity, it’s a great film to give you the story of that and it’s also great to see both [Chateau Montelena](http://www.montelena.com/) as well as Napa County showcased in the film.
We’ll be back at Chateau Montelena this weekend for their sold out event so we look forward to looking at it with fresh eyes from watching the film. Definitely check it out if you are interested in the history of California wines, or just want a good flick to enjoy! (P.S. it took me a sec to figure out that Bo Barrett is played by Chris Pine – a.k.a. the new Captain Kirk from the J.J. Abrams Start Trek film from 2009)

It’s coming up on a few exciting events that we’re both sponsoring. The [MPINCC Annual Gala & Silent Auction is on June 6th](http://www.cvent.com/events/mpincc-annual-gala-silent-auction-06-06-12/event-summary-f7b9c98db88247c3bcd23ab4cadbaf45.aspx) and has a theme of “Sip, Savor & Celebrate!” while ISES-NCC will be hosting their [Annual Gala on July 10th](http://www.cvent.com/events/ises-ncc-annual-gala-and-silent-auction-7-10-2012/event-summary-dd9c3364218543b7bb1e5544574b1833.aspx).
We’re looking forward to checking out [The Winery SF](http://winery-sf.com/) on Treasure Island since we haven’t yet shot there, while the historic [Old Mint](http://www.theoldmint.org/) in San Francisco will host ISES. The ISES gala has “An Evening at the Circus – Across Continents and Thru Time” theme and promises a lot of fantastic entertainment.
If you’re an event professional in the Bay Area, you should definitely check out either one or both to have a great excuse to see what kinds of trends there are in events as well as have a chance to dress up and enjoy the company of peers. Both events will probably sell out so make sure to get your tickets early and we’ll see you there!
[Note: both events are open to the public so if you wanna meet the folks that make events happen this could be a great chance!]

We love Bay to Breakers and since our studio moved off the race path we hadn’t done a photo booth or photostation like we had in the past so this year we had access to a perfect street spot on Hayes Hill where we set up an impromptu photo booth and enjoyed our Sunday morning. Here’s a few snaps that we loved! To view the full gallery of Bay to Breakers photos since 2004 [click here](http://store.orangephotography.com/b2b)!

### [Review: My Kid Could Paint That (documentary)](https://orangephotography.com/my-kid-could-paint-that-review/)
**Published:** May 31, 2012
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Having seen Amir Bar-Lev’s other work including *The Pat Tillman Story*, I was compelled to finally check out [My Kid Could Paint That](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0912592/). The title of the documentary was interesting to me, even when all I knew about it was something about Marla Olmstead being a kid who paints similarly to Jackson Pollack.
But the film explores a lot of other topics – some about human nature, motivation and the art world. If you’ve seen *Exit Through the Gift Shop*, you’ll recognize some familiarities to the story here, but what was most interesting to me, was the perspective of what art is, who an artist is, and what is it’s place in our world today.
I think my favorite part of the film was hearing Michael Kimmelman speak about art ([you can watch part of this on Artforum’s website](http://artforum.com/video/mode=large&id=29096)). As the senior critic at the New York Times, I respect his point of view and enjoyed checking out the extras that had about 12 more minutes of interviews with him that weren’t included in the film.
When speaking about art Kimmelman has some great quotes like: “You can be moved by the beauty of an idea …” (in reference to art often being manifested in a tangible form – a sculpture, painting or photograph, for example – but ultimately representing ideas beautifully)
And he ends his interview in the “special features” on the DVD by saying: “it’s the thing that we want most from it (art)..that there isn’t necessarily a single message that you’re gonna take from it that’s exhausted once you get it and you don’t need it again. It’s the kind of thing that remains open.”

### [Steam Whistle Brewery tour](https://orangephotography.com/steam-whistle-brewery-tour/)
**Published:** June 12, 2012
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
On a recent trip to photograph up in Canada, we had a chance to stop by and check out [Steam Whistle Brewing](http://www.steamwhistle.ca/) in Toronto since it’s located just behind the Convention Center and Intercontinental Hotel, where we stayed. The brewery is where Steam Whistle is brewed and they only make that one beer, which is a Pilsner. It seemed serendipitous that I’d be staying near a Pilsner-only brewery when we were going to be photographing for another one, [Churchkey](http://churchkeycanco.com/home/), based here in the States as well.
Steam Whistle is a cool brewery for a variety of reasons. As a green business ourselves, we appreciate other businesses who have green practices and they do there. They use thicker glass bottles with baked on labels, which I noticed immediately, and as such, they can reuse them more and don’t have to use the chemicals each time to apply the labels, etc. For the caps, they use crown caps instead of twist offs because twist offs can sometimes strip the threads on bottles, and then they can’t be reused.
Overall they have 137 employees and the beer is only sold in Canada so far. They produce 62,000 hectolitres of beer each year, and are proud of how fresh the beer is. If you ever have a case of beer of theirs that’s old, you can bring it in and they’ll replace it with a new, fresh case!
Oh yeah, as a photographer who still loves film, you gotta stop by and check out their film photobooth too! Make sure to do it after you do the tour and have had a few brews 🙂

### [Shooting with the Gigapan](https://orangephotography.com/shooting-with-the-gigapan/)
**Published:** July 2, 2012
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
I remember first seeing/hearing about the Gigapan when [David Bergman](http://www.davidbergman.net/) shot with it at President Obama’s inauguration ([see the photo here](http://gigapan.com/gigapans/15374) and [read about his experience shooting it on his own blog posting](http://www.davidbergman.net/gigapan/)). Recently one of our clients hired us to shoot a group shot with it and it was a lot of fun to use. The software is incredibly simple and so is setting the rig up to take panoramas.
Since it’s such a great tool for group photos, we’ve decided to offer that up to our clients as another option for something more interactive. It’s great if you want to do a fairly large group photo, and especially if it’s somewhere scenic where you want to take advantage of the environment. It’s pretty fun to zoom in and see the details as really high magnification and we’ve seen it being used a lot at sporting events as well.

### [The Computer History Museum takes you back... to the future?](https://orangephotography.com/the-computer-history-museum-takes-you-back-to-the-future/)
**Published:** June 27, 2012
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
 Museums are great because they can bring you back to the past, but a good museum can also propel you into the future or at least make you think about it. The [Computer History Museum](http://www.computerhistory.org/) does just that and we’ve shot all kinds of events there from an Audi test drive event in the parking lot to numerous tech parties. The museum has been evolving and the exhibits are pretty fun.
At my shoot tonight, I ended up realizing how many of the contents of the museum ended up bringing me to that exact location, starting with this Atari 2600 joystick.
The Atari VCS (Video Game Console) was my first video game system. My parents got it for me as a total surprise one Christmas and I was so excited. I liked video games and having them at home was the coolest thing ever. I was into computers because of this and learned some BASIC on the TRS-80 and played a lot on the Commodore64 as well (Jumpman, anyone?).
In college, I wanted to do something technical, but switched majors a ton and ended up getting a marketing degree. Then came graduation and this new internet thing. My first real corporate job was at MCI Telecommunications and I got to work on their first forays into the internet and the world wide web. This ad was something promoting what our group did at MCI:
While at MCI, our team was tasked with launching MCI’s first website so we hired an agency in San Francisco, CKS | Partners, to build the first www.mci.com. CKS also had a roster of clients like GM, Visa, Apple and Levi’s, and MCI was one of the other big accounts. Luckily after we launched the website, we got to do fun things with it, and one section of the site was called Cerf’s Up, and we worked with Vinton Cerf to answer questions, etc. Since Cerf was known as one of the “fathers of the internet” it was fun to work with him. He always responded to all of his emails directly and was a super nice guy. At the Computer History Museum they have some video of Cerf talking about the future and it was nice seeing him there, although I haven’t seen him since he moved out to work at Google.
After MCI, I ended up working for CKS and moved out to San Francisco, which was always a dream of mine since I first visited as a child. I bought my first lens here in the city and it was amazing to call it home finally. At CKS, I ended up working on Levi’s as well as helping out on other accounts occasionally (Apple, Visa, Dockers) but eventually got put on SEGA. We were building SEGA’s online gaming network (it was a bit too far ahead of it’s time) and the Dreamcast was the console that was out at the time. Seeing that Dreamcast unit at the museum brought back memories from just before the bubble burst (I think we had a $3Million budget for a 3-month project) and all the late nights of playing Soul Caliber while on work breaks. After the internet bubble burst, we decided to start Orange Photography and that brought me to the point this evening where I was hired to be shooting at the museum. Full circle…

### [Pier 24 Photography](https://orangephotography.com/pier-24-photography/)
**Published:** July 2, 2012
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Just last month we finally took our team out to explore [Pier 24](http://pier24.org/). If you haven’t heard about it, it’s an exhibition space that’s used to showcase photography. Much of the exhibit is from the [Pilara Foundation Collection](http://www.pier24.org/collection/principals.html) but they also showcase other work outside of the collection.
The collection on display during our visit (and that’s up until February 28, 2013) is called *About Face*, and focuses on portrait-based photography.
Personally I really enjoyed [Jim Goldberg](http://www.jimgoldberg.com/)‘s work entitled *Rich & Poor*. The photos are great, but for me it was the thoughts written out by the subjects on their lives that made it have enough of an impact on me to make me actually sigh out loud about some of what I was reading. But Goldberg’s work is nicely juxtaposed against [Larry Sultan](http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/14/arts/14sultan.html)‘s SF Society shots of Dede, Vanessa, Billy and Denise (any San Francisco socialites or readers of San Francisco Magazine or 7×7 should know those folks by just their first names).
Another photographer who’s work stood out was [Hans-Peter Feldman](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans-Peter_Feldmann) who’s series 100 years, is a fun scroll through just that. It was striking as you looked at the portraits of everyday Germans, how from ages 13 (Lynn) to 14 (Lena), there’s a dramatic jump towards adulthood. You really have to see it and walk it in order (and then in reverse) to get the full impact. Jessica from our team also liked that one saying the she “liked how it was laid out, filling the entire room with every photo in a row. A simple idea but very engaging.”
Some more thoughts from the rest of our team:
***Amy:*** “I thought they had a really modern collection. Ive never seen a [Philip di Lorca](http://www.thecollectiveshift.com/show/portfolio/diCorcia) printed and I thought it was really powerful! It was my favorite piece. I thought it was odd that they didn’t have the photogs listed under each print, but then you realize it’s an appt only gallery specifically so the staff can talk to you about the artists. The girl who helped us
[[Brianna](http://www.briannakalajian.com)] knew ever photographer an the story behind each photograph. For me, it’s way more exiting to talk about a photograph rather than read a small white paper with someone’s name. I really enjoyed it.” ***Tara:*** “What most impressed me was being able to really submerse myself into each piece because the space was so empty of other viewers. Made a huge difference for me I believe. No ambient noise, people passing in front of the photographs, having to dodge others; a luxury for such incredible images.”
***Natalie:*** “I think we were all struck by the sheer size of the gallery; it was massive. Very private place, felt very VIP for being able to go.
“Frustrating and intriguing that there weren’t any information cards on the wall with descriptions on the images. At first I was almost distressed with the lack of information and then I altered my mindset and took everything in as intended, at face value. Interestingly, the room I enjoyed the most was the only room with written information on display: the mugshots. I was totally fascinated by the content of their rap sheets — their age, crimes, the year they were arrested, their criminal occupation versus their regular one, etc.
“Some pieces and artists I recognized and had seen before, some images I felt there was a story I was missing, and others I enjoyed for what they were and didn’t question. The size and scale of the photos really affected my viewing experience; the large pieces often made you stand further back while the small ones invited you to take a closer look. I had a similar experience with the content of the work; some made me want to move quickly by, that if I looked too long it was invasive, and others I felt the need to get more intimate with. I was inspired by many of the pieces, got a few ideas I want to recreate in my own photography.”
***Alex:*** “My favorite pieces were the large [Richard Avedon](http://www.richardavedon.com/) pieces in the back. I really liked his concept of showing textures on people, whether in oil workers, the skin of an old man or the freckles of a pretty woman. I kinda changed my mind about how I feel about [Diane Arbus](http://diane-arbus-photography.com/). Some of her characters this time around really stuck in my mind and were kinda haunting in some ways, but a good way. Other than that, the 100 years project was a well done and great concept. I enjoyed the pictures from South Africa, Japan, and China, and I thought [Nan Golden](http://www.matthewmarks.com/new-york/artists/nan-goldin/)‘s slides and music were awesome.”

### [Gear tip: Photoflex backdrop stands](https://orangephotography.com/gear-tip-photoflex-backdrop-stands/)
**Published:** July 12, 2012
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
We’ve used a lot of different gear at the studio here, but one thing we had a recent problem with was our Photoflex backdrop stands. Two of the screw-in bolts popped out of the stand which meant you couldn’t tighten that piece of the stands and extend it to it’s full height (see above). We did a search online and saw a few other photographers posting about a similar issue but no solutions, so we decided to call up Photoflex support and they were super helpful.
They basically said that this happens sometimes when the bolts aren’t glued in at the factory properly and that they could send us a new replacement piece or we could fix it ourselves quite easily as well, and so we decided to go that route…
The screw and bolt are shown below together, but you just screw off the screw-in bolt (which is the gold part in the top photo), and use threadlocker adhesive/glue (if that’s what it’s called) and put some on the threaded part of the gold piece and then screw that back into the black housing.
The particular brand we bought is shown below but there are many types you can get. This stuff sets in like 20 minutes, but they recommend you wait 24-hours for it to be completed set. We’ve since used the stands and everything is fine. A simple fix and we hope it helps anyone else there who’s equipment may have similarly had wear.

### [Event photography is great cardio!](https://orangephotography.com/event-photography-is-great-cardio/)

**Content:**
This past weekend we covered [Venue Connect 2012](http://www.iavm.org/2012_conf/home.asp) in Fort Lauderdale, Florida for the [IAVM](http://www.iavm.org/). It occurred to me during the event that we, as event photographers, do a lot of walking when we shoot. That paired with the less than wise choice to bring my ‘cool’ shoes instead of my super comfy shoes, led me to think a lot about my feet and what they were feeling. Lugging around 10-15 pounds of gear on your back and carrying much of that in the form of bodies/lenses on your body during the day adds up. So on the last full day of the conference I decided to track my walking and covering of the show to see how far I traveled.
In total it was about seven miles for almost eight hours of coverage. Above you can see the first part of the day over at the convention center, and below is the evening reception/closing party.

### [Leadership and ISES Eventworld](https://orangephotography.com/leadership-and-ises-eventworld/)
**Published:** August 7, 2012
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/?attachment_id=)Coming off attending [ISES Eventworld](http://ew.ises.com), it was fortuitous that the book I brought to read on my flight was [Leadership Gold](http://www.powells.com/biblio/2-9780785214113-1) by John Maxwell. As a board member of the [ISES-NCC chapter](http://www.ises-ncc.org/), we attended the conference early for some of the leadership training and I found that to be very useful.
The best thing about getting involved with an industry organization is not just the networking and business opportunities, but education and growth (both personally and for your business). As a vendor I know we often thought much of the education wasn’t well targeted for us (we typically don’t need to know how to negotiate contracts with hotels, for example), but you can learn from many diverse disciplines. The key is to think about how it’s relevant to your own business and that’s something we do all the time since we’re event photographers who have got to hear some incredible speakers from Presidents, world leaders, sports legends and some of the most brilliant minds alive today.
Some of the lessons learned from *Leadership Gold* include:
– *“As a leader you should always challenge people to move out of their comfort zone, but never out of their strength zone,”* Maxwell says. This is something important when working with an organization’s board too. As you build out your committees and the board itself, you have to look for people who’s strengths will improve your team overall.
– *Don’t make the mistake of not asking what mistakes you are making.* This really means to be sure to think about what can go wrong, and what you might be missing. I know we often think of what we are trying to accomplish and the goals, but not always thinking of what might not go right. Successful event planners know this well and are always considering what might go wrong, so they have a plan in place to prevent and/or deal with it should it happen. At the recent [Venue Connect](http://www.iavm.org/2012_conf/home.asp) conference, I learned of the term “active shooter” which refers to a gunman firing at an event/location. Since the events in Aurora had just happened, they were discussing best practices in situations like that and that’s the kind of preparation that can literally save lives.[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/?attachment_id=)
Of course as professional event photographers we hopefully don’t have to deal with things like that, but there are many other things you have to be prepared for, like having backup gear, insurance, etc.
At Eventworld, we learned a lot about technologies that are evolving the event space, and how best to leverage them. Social media is still hot, but more location based experiences are coming with RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) and NFC (near field communications). I posted about each day at Eventworld on the ISES Blog, so you can check out those posts for more detail here: ([Day 1](http://ises-ncc.org/blog/?p=286), [Day 2](http://ises-ncc.org/blog/?p=305), [Day 3](http://ises-ncc.org/blog/?p=318), [Day 4](http://ises-ncc.org/blog/?p=333))

Orange’s guide to natural retouching. (roll over Rebecca above to see her before picture)
The topic of retouching can be a tricky one. With advances in digital technology, the widely accepted embrace of digital photography by the professional photography community and the saturation of photo enhancement programs, everyone is “photoshopping” these days. It’s expected. It’s requested. Even the name of the program, Photoshop, named after the most widely used photo enhancement program, has become a recognized verb. But with this ease of altering photographs, a medium that was once revered as the ultimate factor of proof, one can easily take it to the extreme. Let’s break it down.
Google “[Bad Retouching](https://www.google.com/search?q=bad+retouching&hl=en&prmd=imvns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=NVEpUMH8GOb_ygHyw4GQBw&ved=0CGEQsAQ&biw=1400&bih=935)” – or better yet, [check out what your favorite celebrity looks like unretouched, without make up](https://www.google.com/search?q=celebrities+without+makeup&hl=en&prmd=imvns&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=MmIpUPzFGoTUyQHTqoHICA&ved=0CE8Q_AUoAQ&biw=1400&bih=935) and notice the stark differences in the [images we see every day](http://jezebel.com/5426296/photoshop-of-horrors-hall-of-shame-2000+2009/gallery/1). With great power comes great responsibility!
So we here at Orange see it appropriate and necessary to hammer out our *Rules of Retouching*. Our approach to retouching is simple; we want you to look like the best *you* possible. An important caveat of that is to make sure your image is still a representation of you, and not airbrushed into a cartoon or scary wax figure. Here are a few steps we take to ensure you look your best:
- We like a NATURAL look. We still want to see pores and such. You have skin. We like skin.
- Blemish control is a must. Adult acne is a real thing but you would never know it looking at our photos. But we do limit our cloning. Your Marilyn Monroe-esque beauty mark will be unscathed.
- Last night’s activities will not be apparent in your face or smile! We get rid of sleep deprivation and hangovers by lightening whites of the eyes, teeth brightening, and minor under eye wrinkles/bags reduction.
- Bad hair day? We help. 12 Cats? That’s cool. Obvious stray hairs and lint on clothes will be addressed. But your blue shirt will still be blue, and your curly hair will still be curly.
What better way to show you we are serious by retouching photos of ourselves! It’s time things got real. Get to know the Orange team by checking out our Orange staff headshots below, complete with SHOCKING UNRETOUCHED photos for added effect! (just roll over each image and see if you can see what we did when the un-retouched image shows up)

Bottom line: [Anything is possible with Photoshop](). And we can do that. We choose not to and stand behind our portraits as representational, approachable, and *REAL*.

Last night I got an impromptu invitation to check out the game from fellow photographer Myleen Hollero and got to sit in the upper deck for the first time. The view was pretty cool and it was a good game with Madison Bumgarner pitching strong and getting the win, and solid defense to compliment just enough offense including the game winning RBI from Hunter Pence (see below, all photos via iPhone). I have to say though, my favorite moment was probably the chance to see reliever Santiago Casilla take his third at-bat of the season (above). He got contact on the ball but was retired, but he’s hitting .333 on the season! A great win and it got the Magic Number for the Gia
nts down to eight! #LetsgoGiants!

### [Times and Fashions Change - Ethics Never Go Out of Style! by Joan Eisenstodt](https://orangephotography.com/times-and-fashions-change-ethics-never-go-out-of-style-by-joan-eisenstodt/)
**Published:** September 12, 2012
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/?attachment_id=)
Ethics are a touchy subject and in the events industry, with the [GSA scandal in the news recently](http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/aug/1/gsa-scandal-widens-dozens-conferences-investigated/?page=all), it’s an important topic. Even in the sports and academic worlds, ethics has been in the news with the inaction at Penn State resulting in a terrible situation there.
[Joan Eisenstodt](http://www.linkedin.com/in/joaneisenstodt) presented at both MPINCC and ISES-NCC and she starts off with this question (from[ *Can Ethics be Taught?* by Harvard Business School Press](http://books.google.com/books/about/Can_Ethics_Be_Taught.html?id=riT87frMgaMC)): “How should an individual… confronted with an ethical dilemma, reach a decision that is competitively, organizationally, economically and ethically sound?”
It’s a great question but ethics goes from the big issues to the small and should be something every company evaluates. One example she presents has to do with taking home post-it notes, paperclips or using the office copier. Is that considered unethical? Always? Sometimes? Or does it depend?
In the US $72Billion in office supplies was taken from the workplace. It’s officially considered theft, but ethically what’s your stance? We work hard, we work at home, and so maybe taking a pen home isn’t that big a deal – or is it?
The best scenario is for your company to have a policy on these things.
Big pharma has done this for their industry because when they could give so many perks to docs, the doctors would then prescribe the drugs from the companies that gave them the big perks – definitely not ethical!
Timing, intent and value are important criteria for gifts – you need to have guidelines that outline this. Legally in the US the limit for a gift is either $25 or $50 for most government agencies. However, there is no specification on the timing of that gift. So it could be a gift valued at $50/hour for an entire year (which comes to $438,290.50!).
Ethics goes on both sides of the planner/supplier relationship too. If someone asks for a kickback, a gift, etc. it’s important to refuse it. The key metric for this is: if you do something with an expectation of receiving something in return – that’s when ethics get squirrely.
Ultimately ethics are a personal thing so consider that the next time you face an ethically ambiguous situation.
As Jiminy Cricket said: “Let your conscience be your guide.”
When you’re next faced with a gift situation, ask if there’s an expectation of something in return?
Eisenstodt is a great speaker and we’d definitely recommend her for your organization or association. She also recommends the [NBES website](http://www.ethics.org/nbes), and the book [Extraordinary Circumstances](http://www.amazon.com/Extraordinary-Circumstances-Journey-Corporate-Whistleblower/dp/0470124296) as additional resources.
At the ISES-NCC Program today, she left us with this quote: “the reputation of a thousand years may be determined by the conduct of one hour.” – Japanese proverb…

### [Back to School, First Exposures returns!](https://orangephotography.com/back-to-school-firstexposures-returns/)
**Published:** September 17, 2012
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/?attachment_id=)Another school year has kicked off and that means that another year of [First Exposures](http://www.sfcamerawork.org/education/first_exposures/) has kicked off as well. As a long-time mentor in the program, we’ve seen it grow over the years and this year has a ton of new faces. It’s great to see this program growing and after our second class of the year, things are already starting to gel between the mentors and mentees. (If you want to help out, any donations are welcome – [donate here](http://www.sfcamerawork.org/getinvolved/donate/index.php))
This past weekend we got to hear from [Gerald Slota](http://www.geraldslota.com/) who presented his work that’s currently on display at [SF Camerawork](http://www.sfcamerawork.org) and afterwards went to the [Stephen Wirtz gallery](http://www.wirtzgallery.com/main.html) where Julie Casemore of the gallery gave us an overview of some of the work currently on display including works by Larry Sultan, Jim Goldberg, Todd Hido, Daido Moriyama and [Melanie Pullen](http://melaniepullen.com/). Personally, I was most intrigued by Pullen’s work since I hadn’t seen it before and she has a book, [High Fashion Crime Scenes](http://www.amazon.com/Fashion-Crime-Scenes-Melanie-Pullen/dp/159005136X) with her complete series available at the gallery. The work, of which one print is on display at the gallery, shows reconstructed crime scenes of models wearing high fashion couture. It’s much more layered and deep but just go check it out yourself to see for yourself.
Finally we had lunch at Yerba Buena Gardens and had a photo hunt looking for letters that our groups were tasked with finding and photographing with Polaroids. When we returned from the hunt the letters were rearranged into a phrase that spelled a message out ([original Instagram image](http://instagram.com/p/PnO71zFpYt/)):

### [ASMP Releases iPhone app review](https://orangephotography.com/asmp-releases-iphone-app-review/)
**Published:** November 28, 2012
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Software to manage model releases are a great tool for photographers and there are several options on the market already like [Easy Release](http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/easy-release-model-release/id360835268?mt=8), but now [ASMP](http://www.asmp.org/strictlybusiness/2012/07/introducing-asmps-new-releases-app/comment-page-1/#comment-367177) has got their version out and available for free!
Anyone who’s a professional photographer no doubt is familiar with ASMP and all the great education and advocacy work they have been doing for all of us over the years. So I was pretty excited to check out the new app they created.
So far it seems to be pretty straight forward, although it’s definitely a first rev.
There are a few minor usability tweaks I’d love to see improved such as having a “next” button so you can jump to the next field of the forms instead of having to tap into them each time you finish filling out one part of the forms. Also, in the state field, having it automatically keep both letters as CAPS would also be nice.
We tried testing out creating a custom template but it seems that the current version of the app creates a Property Release even if you choose to create a Model release (a bug?).
The final things we’d love to see is 1) if the app would automatically save all releases (since it doesn’t do it by default) and 2) if the photo that can be taken with the release (a nice touch) could be embedded into the PDF that you can email instead of being sent as a separate attachment.
Let us know in the comments what you think if you’ve tried it out as well as what other apps you like for model/property releases!

### [Photography as a workout](https://orangephotography.com/photography-as-a-workout/)
**Published:** November 19, 2012
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/?attachment_id=)Just this past week we were in Chicago to shoot the Schwab IMPACT conference and just got back from it. One of the things that came up during the conference that we’ve tackled before, was the amount of walking during a day of shooting. Talking to one of the other photographers, I decided to track how many steps I took during the full day of coverage. I used Runtastic to check how many steps were taken and [it came to 10,723 steps](http://www.runtastic.com/en/users/gene-x/sport-sessions/32555298). I’m not sure exactly how accurate that number is as I tried to use other apps to verify, but some of them went into sleep mode or stopped tracking at various times so I’m going with the Runtastic statistics.
I know my feet were feeling it after so much walking around, but this is pretty close to the stats we had from when [we tracked a day at Venue Connect](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/?p=7238) which came in at 7.02 miles (no step count then).
For you other photographers that shoot weddings or conferences, have you tracked how much you walk during a day of shooting? Are you interested in [Quantified Self](http://quantifiedself.com/) type data? We love it ourselves!
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/?attachment_id=)P.S. One of the presentations we most enjoyed at the conference was when Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles (above) presented. They are bi-partisan and reviewed [what America can do to fix itself](http://www.fixthedebt.org/) as well as the financial situation we’ve gotten ourselves in. Here’s an article on ADvisory One (using our photos) that better reviews what they talked to the Impact audience about: [To Fix Fiscal House, ‘We Need Patriots, Not Panderers’](http://www.advisorone.com/2012/11/16/simpson-bowles-to-fix-fiscal-house-we-need-patriot)

### [Review: The Art of Being Unreasonable](https://orangephotography.com/review-the-art-of-being-unreasonable/)
**Published:** December 3, 2012
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
The title of this business book by Eli Broad appeals to my creative side. As a small business owner and a creative, we know that being unreasonable can result in breakthroughs or at least original thinking. Broad is probably most known for his business and philanthropic success including KB Home, but in this book he explains a lot of his perspectives on how he ran his businesses and how he chose to run his life as well.
Some of the best lessons that can be applied to a photography agency or any small business that appealed to us included the following:
- Delegate! This is pretty obvious and something we’ve learned but still struggle with. As most photographers start out on their own, we’re often the photographer, sales team, human resources dept, office supply manager and almost everything else! But to grow, you have to be able to let go of things and trust them to others that can do them better. As you learn to let go, you’ll realize that you can focus on the more important things that you excel at and therefore grow your business more effectively.
- Take Risks! Another pretty obvious one and here in the San Francisco Bay Area, folks seem to thrive on failure and not be afraid of it. After all, what’s the worst that can happen? That’s one of the important questions to ask as well as “what do I have to lose?”
- Marketing is key! We’ve always embraced marketing since photography, in th
e commercial sense, is often used in marketing, if not straight out advertising and promotion. But the key to marketing is always keeping in mind what your clients want and need. If you don’t have a client focused perspective, then your marketing may not be making the impact it could be. And related to this, Broad emphasizes the importance of the story you tell. We’ve been reading a lot of business and marketing books and this topic comes up again and again. As a visual storyteller, we may know how to tell stories in images, but it’s vital to be able to do so in words.
All in all the book is a quick read and has some good lessons in it. One of my favorite quotes is the following: “Demand the unreasonable of yourself and you will exceed everyone’s expectations, not least your own.”

### [Holiday Gifting Ideas (of the non-commercial type!)](https://orangephotography.com/holiday-gifting-ideas-of-the-non-commercial-type/)
**Published:** November 23, 2012
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Ahhh! Can’t believe how quickly the holidays have crept up on us? I feel like we were just celebrating the [Giants’ World Series win](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/?p=7369) and suddenly we’re hearing holiday music everywhere. Black Friday! Small Business Saturday! Cyber Monday! Giving Tuesday – it’s all a bit much eh?
Although most of America’s business entities want you to buy, buy, buy, there are a lot of other ways you can give this holiday season and we thought we’d outline some ways we’re doing so and ways that you can too. Some of these don’t cost anything but your time, while others include cold hard cash (or credit!).
Two organizations that we’re donating our time with include [First Exposures](http://www.sfcamerawork.org/education/first_exposures/) and [Help Portrait](http://help-portrait.com/). On Dec. 8th is the Help Portrait at the Bayview Opera House that we’re collaborating on with First Exposures. We still need some assistance there and especially some makeup artists. If you are available to help out please [reach out to us via email](mailto:firstexposures@sfcamerawork.org?subject=HelpPortraitHelp). To support First Exposures directly with a donation, you can [do so here online](http://www.sfcamerawork.org/getinvolved/donate/index.php).
On Dec. 5th there’s the [MPINCC Holiday Reception](http://www.cvent.com/events/mpincc-holiday-reception-12-5-12/event-summary-c085e43deaff4ce28402e199627796a7.aspx) at [CityView at the Metreon](http://www.westfield.com/metreon/city-view). You can donate toys for the [San Francisco Firefighters Toy Program](http://www.sffirefighterstoys.org/). If you’d like to donate to the program directly and can’t make the holiday reception, you can [donate directly online here](http://sffirefighterstoys.org/index.cfm?zone=/unionactive/view_page.cfm&page=Donate).
Finally, one of the local organizations we have done a lot with is the [San Francisco Bike Coalition](http://www.sfbike.org/?) (have you seen the billboards around town that we shot for them?). As a [San Francisco Green Business](http://www.sfgreenbusiness.org/other-services/486-orange-photography/view-details/) (and the first photography studio to earn the designation from the City and County of San Francisco) we like to promote green transportation alternatives and often ride bikes to shoots. The SFBC has done so much to make transit more green in San Francisco and they can also use any support and/or [donations](http://www.sfbike.org/?donate). Or just come by their [Winterfest party on Dec 2nd](http://www.sfbike.org/?winterfest) and see what they’re up to (the silent auction also has some great deals on anything from restaurant certificates to massage and yoga to actual bicycles!)

**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Two recent documentaries we’ve watched focus on two very different photographers. The first is [Chasing Ice](http://www.chasingice.com/), which follows [James Balog](http://www.jamesbalog.com/) and tells the story of the [Extreme Ice Survey](http://extremeicesurvey.org/) which he’s been doing for many years and follows the travails of Balog as he works to tip public opinion on climate change so that people will do what’s necessary to save our planet for future generations. Motivated by his daughters and what he hopes to leave for them, it’s a moving documentary showing the focus and determination Balog has for his cause, which is something all of us citizens of the world should do something about. At the premiere here in San Francisco, [Balog was on hand and answered questions](https://path.com/p/JLmHp) (thanks to [@soolara](https://twitter.com/soolara) for this clip) in his typically passionate style, which was a nice surprise for the audience on hand.
The other doc is [More Than the Rainbow](http://lespedi.com/morethantherainbow/index.html), whose subject is [Matt Weber](http://weber-street-photography.com/), a former cabbie who became a street photographer in New York City. Weber’s perspective to shooting is fun to hear, and the other photographers who are interviewed provide various perspectives on what it means to be a photographer. The images and the stories behind how they are captured are interesting and were my favorite part of the film.
Go check out both this holiday season if you can!

### [Book Review: Garbology](https://orangephotography.com/book-review-garbology/)
**Published:** December 13, 2012
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Being a Green business, we are always looking at ways we can keep a minimal footprint while still providing excellent service and photography to our clients. Recently on [NPR, I heard Pulitzer Prize winning writer Edward Humes being interviewed about his latest book, Garbology](http://www.npr.org/2012/04/26/150735732/following-garbages-long-journey-around-the-earth), and finally got to read it.
It’s a fascinating piece of writing, and really made me want to make Orange an even greener business (we are already the first photography studio to earn the City and County of San Francisco’s Green Business designation). One of the things I’d like to implement is one of the things mentioned in the book and that’s to use microfiber cloths instead of paper towels to use something that’s reusable.
The top five tips he gives in the book are:
1. Refuse: refuse things you don’t need – unnecessary items, things you’ll just throw away, etc. I’ve noticed some delivery places do this with utensils if you don’t want them and I try to ask for no pickles whenever I eat at a burger joint ([Greenburgers](http://www.sfgreenburgers.com/) in SF is great about this!)
2. Go Used and Refurbished – pretty self explanatory
3. Stop Buying Bottled Water – definitely on board with this…
4. No more plastic grocery bags – if you do have some, you can bring them to Safeways and they will recycle them. Also, if you tie them into knots it will prevent them from blowing away as easily too
5. Focus on the cost of ownership – another great tip. Buy products that will last and are well made – I just did this myself by buying my first new bicycle in over a decade to replace my broken one. It was built by hand here in San Francisco by [Raphael Cycles](http://www.raphaelcycles.com/).
There’s a ton of compelling stories in the book though that make it a must read. It’s pretty amazing to learn that American’s create 7.1 lbs of trash EACH DAY. It’s definitely something we should all consider in how to lower that number.

Here in the Bay Area people are pretty progressive and can see past greenwashing efforts and that’s why we’re particularly proud of the [San Francisco Green Business](http://www.sfgreenbusiness.org/) recognition since the program is known to have some of the toughest standards around.
When we first were applying, the program was still nascent and the city didn’t have enough auditors to keep up with demand so each time we were going to get reviewed we learned of new standards that we had to adhere to. When we came upon our renewal time, we realized that more standards had been established or bolstered so we had to do even more to renew. Overall though, that was a good thing as it kept us on our toes to keep improving the ways we can green our business. Personally I love the LED lights we are always trying to use when the CFLs go out as they are super low power and the prices are slowly going down.
If you bought holiday lights recently, you’ve probably noticed how many LED lights that are available and they’ll last forever and stay nice and cool. Definitely we love all the technological advances that are making staying and going green easier, but some of the most impactful things you can do are often the easiest. Installing low flow aerators in your sinks is a big one to save on water, and unplugging chargers when they aren’t in use is also key (they drain power even when nothing is charging off them!)
A recent film we saw that we’ve blogged about but encourage you to see that’s related to the environment and the impact we all have on our earth is “[Chasing Ice](http://www.chasingice.com/).” It follow James Balog’s work and is a fantastic film. On his website too [there are actions you can take](http://extremeicesurvey.org/take-action/) as an individual to help preserve our planet.
Here’s a favorite quote from another of my favorite photographers, [Edward Burtynsky](http://www.edwardburtynsky.com/): “The only thing we can do tomorrow that is different from today is to manage what we are doing in a better way. We happen to be very successful, and that may eventually be our undoing, because we are also very destructive. We must learn to be more conscientious custodians of the resources that we have been given.”

[Help-Portrait](http://help-portrait.com/) 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](http://www.bvoh.org/) photographed over 670 people and included 117 volunteers. It was even crazier than last year and the vibe was fantastic. The kids in First Exposures all had fun and realized the power of giving back to the community. This video was put together by [Julie Bullock](http://juliebullock.com) and is a great wrap up of the day!

### [Review: Life is a Gift: The Zen of Bennett](https://orangephotography.com/review-life-is-a-gift-the-zen-of-bennett/)
**Published:** December 27, 2012
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Most people know of Tony Bennett as the amazing musician, but he’s also a painter and does watercolors. I had just come from checking out a watercolor show of a high school friend, [Iain Stewart](http://www.stewartwatercolors.com/), when I decided to crack open [this book](http://www.powells.com/biblio/1-9780062207067-1) and start on it while visiting my family in Alabama.
Right off the bat, some of the things Bennett notes were immediately relevant to creative businesses and photographers as well. Case in point: “Work doesn’t feel like work if you’re passionate about what you do.” Also “It’s very important to know what to leave out, thereby emphasizing what remains.” – something that obviously all photographers who’ve ever framed a shot understand.
Throughout the book he goes through stories of his life and while many folks might enjoy his anecdotes about his life experiences with celebrities, the best insights I got were from his personal perspectives on the music business and creativity in general.
Interspersed at the beginning of each chapter is some sort of art piece from Bennett. I right away noticed that they were all signed ‘Benedetto’ and learned that Bob Hope was the one who told Anthony Dominick Benedetto (his full name) not to use his then-current stage name of Joe Bari, but instead to become Tony Bennett.
“You can’t get a good take from technology or transform a bad take into something good,” totally resonated too. As photographers we know that you have to get certain things in your shot at the time the shutter snaps. Without that, no amount of photoshopping can fix it completely. Yes there’s a lot you can do but even with a Lytro, if you didn’t frame it right and missed a critical element, the technology isn’t the fix.
Other quotes that us photographers can probably relate to:
> “When the uncreative tell the creative what to do, it stops becoming art.”
>
> “We can always seek beauty and inspiration in the world around us.”
And one of the best anecdotes he tells in the book relates to “I left My Heart in San Francisco.” When Bennett gets asked if he ever gets tired of singing that song, his usual response is “Do you ever get tired of making love?”

### [Review: Instant The Story of Polaroid](https://orangephotography.com/review-instant-the-story-of-polaroid/)
**Published:** February 5, 2013
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Ever since Polaroid announced that it was done with instant photography and the [Impossible Project](http://www.the-impossible-project.com) started up, I’ve been obsessed with instant photography. I had some of the last packs of Polaroid film and still have one pack in the fridge that, most likely, I should use pretty soon.
Anyhow, when I heard about [Instant: The Story of Polaroid](http://www.powells.com/biblio/62-9781616890858-0) was being released, I was excited to check it out. The book was written by [Christopher Bonanos](https://twitter.com/heybonanos) and it’s a pretty quick read, full of interesting photos and is nicely designed.
Edwin Land was an incredible man and the company he built reflected him and his personality. Reading the book gave me more back story on how the company evolved and insight even into their partnership with Kodak. There was an amusing quote from Eastman Kodak who first provided the negative layer when Polaroid came out with instant film (for 20 years): “Anything that is good for photography is good for Kodak”
Not sure if Kodak did the best job of taking advantage of that, but like Polaroid, Kodak will always remain one of the iconic brands in photography for me.
But ultimately any story about Polaroid involves Edwin Land. Land was a visionary and understood the value of small companies. As photographers we’re almost all small businesses and his thoughts could also be applied to Silicon Valley and startups in general: “
[Y]ear by year, our national scene would change in the way, I think, all Americans dream of. Each individual will be a member of a group small enough so that he feels a full participant in the purpose and activity of the group. His voice will be heard and his individuality recognized.” Prescient for sure! Check out the book to find a lot more nuggets like Ansel Adams’ involvement with Polaroid and there are also some great photos by and of Andy Warhol and others. I also appreciated the bit about the Impossible Project team and what they’re doing to keep instant photography alive.

### [Let's go #49ers!](https://orangephotography.com/lets-go-49ers/)
**Published:** January 18, 2013
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
[Colin Kaepernick](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colin_Kaepernick) has got all the hype right now and we recall photographing him the first time and how chill and down to earth he was. In October of 2011 at the 49ers facility in Santa Clara, I spoke with him about what it felt like to be in the NFL and a 49er. He was super excited to play and watching him hum passes was a lot of fun. Fast forward to tomorrow and he’ll be the starting quarterback for the [49ers](http://www.49ers.com/) playing in the [NFC Championship game](http://scores.espn.go.com/nfl/nflpreview?gameId=330120001), with a berth in the Super Bowl awaiting the winner. There’s been a ton of press on the read option and pistol and as a business headquartered in San Francisco, we’re super amped for the game. Of course we’ll be pulling for our home team, but it’s not just Kaepernick that’ll be a factor. Personally I think a solid run game including Frank Gore (below) will be key on the offense as well as getting our tight ends involved. Maybe a break out day for Vernon Davis? On defense, if Justin Smith stays healthy we’re hoping to see some Aldon Smith all over Falcons QB Matt Ryan. All this talk about football makes me want to shoot a game, but I realized after the first NFL game I shot that it’s actually more fun to watch the game as a fan, although the exhilaration of being on the sidelines isn’t bad!

The team at Orange knows how to work hard but we also know how to have a good time! After a super busy and successful holiday season, we took a trip out to Tahoe to catch up with each other and get some fresh air. Naturally, there were cameras in every hand along with beers, good food, and firewood. Almost burnt the cabin down at one point, whoops.
As we grow as a team and a company, we really never lose sight of the way we work together to make up one solid entity. We value the fact that each person brings different talent, knowledge, and perspectives to the table…and that is a big part of what makes Orange one of a kind!

It’s Friday! It’s [San Francisco Beer Week](http://www.sfbeerweek.org/)! In honor of that earlier this week we hosted some of our Associate Photographers at the studio for a [photo booth](http://booth.orangephotography.com/) and [happy hour gathering](https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151400289432552.500516.47607512551&type=1). As we’re evolving our program, we brought together some folks to chat about the changes that are happening with the program and some of the new things we’ve implemented as well as having time to hang out, play in a photo booth and exchange ideas. We tested out our new footpedal to fire off the photo booth and it worked brilliantly. Thanks to [Almanac Beer](http://www.almanacbeer.com/), our neighbors here in the Dogpatch for the beers that helped fuel the creativity! We’ll be covering some of the Gala tonight for Beer Week so if you see us, stop us for a portrait… and don’t come empty handed! Cheers!

In case you hadn’t noticed that the city might be a bit more tipsy than usual, that’s because it’s [San Francisco Beer Week](http://www.sfbeerweek.org/)!
We covered the [Opening Night gala on Friday](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/?p=7576) which has grown tremendously over the years and during the week there are a ridiculous number of events going on. There’s probably a lot of “working from home” or calling in sick (which I guess could be legit, theoretically) this week but it’s all worthwhile. Some would say that craft brewing got it’s start here, and Anchor Steam (one of our clients) is a pioneer in the industry and continues to put out great beer. In Northern California we’re fortunate to have an abundance of great options so if you are looking to learn more about beer, go [check out an event](http://www.sfbeerweek.org/schedule/)!

### [San Francisco Beer Week Opening Celebration #sfbeerweek](https://orangephotography.com/san-francisco-beer-week-opening-celebration-sfbeerweek/)
**Published:** February 9, 2013
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
If you aren’t already at the DIPA Fest then you might be remembering all the great beers from last night’s opening celebration for San Francisco Beer Week!
Like many, we first had to grab a taste of Pliny the Younger. Always a hugely popular brew, I felt kind of sorry for the Russian River folks with such a huge line right from the start. But there were plenty of great beers available and really too many to try. Luckily there was plenty of food options like Belly Burger, Rosamunde sausages, and an amazing chicken and waffle sandwich from Soul Groove. Tunes were provided by Noise Pop and you couldn’t walk more than ten steps without being within reach of a pour of beer.
One of the new beers (for me) that really stood out was Ale Industries’ Unity, as in Edward and I also liked Mill Valley Beerworks’ Ned. Ned is a Flanders Red, so it’s a sour, which is one of my favorite styles of beer and the Unity is also a sour. Of course Pliny the Younger is fantastic and the Drakes Hopocalypse Black Label might have pushed me over the edge. Overall a great kickoff to a great week.
We’ll be at Sour Sunday tomorrow at Triple Rock and all over town all week so say hello if you can and maybe we’ll take a Polaroid of you as part of another project we’re doing all week…
We’ve [posted all our shots to our Facebook page here](https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151406174102552.500979.47607512551&type=3).

**Published:** February 14, 2013

We were super excited to attend and shoot this event since we were getting our new plaque for our renewal as a San Francisco Green Business. We’re very proud to have been the first photography studio to earn this designation, which is one of the most stringent ones around, since being green has been a big part of our business philosophy since the start. Paired with our Social Photography program, it’s a core value of Orange Photography.
This year we took candids and the step and repeat shots (all [posted online here](http://store.orangephotography.com/p507783097)) and had a great time mingling with our fellow Green Businesses.
Anna Frankel, Green Business Coordinator for the San Francisco Department of the Environment, who hosted the event said: “The 7th San Francisco Green Business Awards Reception was a great success as we honored 54 recognized Green Businesses, one of them being Orange Photography! Each year the event continues to show that our Green Business community is strong and growing, showcasing leaders in San Francisco.”
It’s great to see more and more businesses going green and we look forward to being a part of this for years to come!

Part of my new year’s resolution was to run a marathon this year and I am excited to share with everyone that I am participating in the Big Sur marathon this April. To help me stay motivate and do something positive while training for the marathon, I am raising money for [Children with Cancer](http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/charity-web/charity/finalCharityHomepage.action?uniqueVmgCharityUrl=leukaemia) charity, which help me secure a slot to run in this very popular marathon that was sold out in less than 30 hours!

### [2013 MPINCC Annual Conference and Expo](https://orangephotography.com/mpincc-2013-expo/)
**Published:** February 25, 2013

**Content:**
What’s the best part about event and hospitality conventions? Going home with all the freebies? Well, aside from that, it’s a chance to get great personal interaction and insight from the kinds of companies that you cross paths with every day. It also provides a rare opportunity, as so much is done virtually these days, to put everyone and everything into perspective. Visiting an exhibit booth for a rustic luxury hotel in Denver then looking to your left and seeing a giant [AT&T Park](http://sanfrancisco.giants.mlb.com/sf/ballpark/giantsenterprises/index.jsp) sign kind of helps us dream about all the possibilities in this industry.
As photography sponsors of the [MPINCC Annual Conference & Expo 2013](http://mpincc.org/specialevents/index.cfm?fuseaction=cor_av&artID=7489), we were able to capture more than the average conference-goer snapping from morning til’ night. We also gave attendees the chance to come and get a free (and instant!) professional headshot on-site with our headshot studio booth. The iPad kiosk is always a hit and easy to use for everyone, instantly emailing your selecting image.
Keep your eye out for our photos of the day that include the CEO of Virgin America teaching everyone a lesson or two, event planners by the dozen, and extravagant booth designs by professionals from all around the country. Oh, and we hope you enjoy your headshots! [Check out the full gallery here](http://store.orangephotography.com/f37699095)!

### [The new Speakeasy Tap Room!](https://orangephotography.com/7612/)
**Published:** February 27, 2013
**Author:** gene x

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 reclaimed wood and lots of warm lighting and nice touches like photos from gangsters and prohibition behind wooden palettes that decorate the walls to using bomber bottles as light shades. Here’s a few shots from that evening and if you’d like to read more [here’s a story on EaterSF by Allie Pape about the tap room](http://sf.eater.com/archives/2013/02/25/inside_speakeasy_brewings_cool_new_taproom.php).

### [Orange does the Anchor Brewery Tour](https://orangephotography.com/orange-does-the-anchor-brewery-tour/)
**Published:** March 8, 2013
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Most beer lovers recognize [Anchor Steam](http://www.anchorbrewing.com/) as *the* quintessential and/or original S.F. beer brand. But not everyone knows they can book a a tour (up to two months advance notice often required) to see the brewery and learn how their world-class beer is made. Anchor has also been one of my favorite clients over the past few years (we’ve photographed everything from their holiday party/Christmas Ale releases to their brewmaster portraits) and we took a few hours last Tuesday to surprise Natalie (*Orange Crush Production Lead/Staff Photographer)* on her birthday with a fun afternoon trip. I am a big fan of Anchor’s role in San Francisco’s history and consider the brewery my ‘hometown beer.’ We enjoyed tasting nine of the currently available Anchor brews and picked up a number of fun factoids to impress our friends. I was introduced to [Anchor California Lager® ](http://www.calparks.org/press/2013/anchor-brewing-company-launches-anchor-california-lager-and-forms-partnership-with-california-state-parks-foundation.html)for the first time on the tour, and my life will never be the same again.
The brewery currently produces 165,000 bottles of beer per day, but that amount will grow even more when they move into Pier 48 in a few years. We’re hoping that that will mean they will have the capacity to make some sour and/or barrel-aged brews!

### [ISES-NCC Education program: The Psychology of Events by Kevin White](https://orangephotography.com/ises-ncc-education-program-the-psychology-of-events-by-kevin-white/)
**Published:** March 19, 2013
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Photographing events gives us a pretty broad exposure into the world of how events are run and how people respond to them. However, on Tuesday March 19th, Kevin White, CSEP, and Chief Strategist at XPL presented on the psychology of events. This was an interesting topic since it went much deeper into how to make events with maximum impact.
The keys can down to something that all photographers are familiar with – you have to know how to tell a story!
To do that, White says that you have to:
- Delve into the mind
- Control the mood
- Design communication
- Satisfy human needs, and
- Incorporate the senses
Sporting events are the perfect example of very emotional events, but if you miss any of the ‘needs’ of your audience you can lose them (think of overly long bathroom lines killing the joy, etc.). However, most successful events fulfill all attendees needs from the physical to societal (belonging).
*White also stressed that n*eeds trump wants. This is pretty obvious when you think about it but it’s sometimes overlooked.
Feedback loops are also good (e.g. those giant thermometers used to show how much money has been raised towards a fundraising goal) as they can and do influence behaviors.
Of the senses, some of the fascinating facts presented were that smell influences emotions most. (Check out [Dr. Allan Hirsch](http://www.smellandtaste.org/?action=about)‘s work on this and use to your advantage!)
Taste is secondary (but it’s 90% smell anyways) and for sight, color is a big factor.
Red – energetic but tiring for long durations
Yellow – is the first color people see, warmer colors are good in general but hard to look at
Orange – stimulates learning. Least occurring color in nature. Energetic, warm, makes you think. Unique. (yes!) 🙂
Blue – tranquil and calming. Blue is the color of rot in nature so it makes food unappetizing – whoa.
In general dark colors lower stress and increase peacefulness.
One other thing that event professionals can leverage includesthe narcissism of people in general. They’ll stop at a mirror to check themselves out so use that to your marketing advantage.

### [Milton Glaser, IDEO, the d:school and design in everything!](https://orangephotography.com/milton-glaser-ideo-the-dschool-and-design-in-everything/)
**Published:** March 19, 2013
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
One of the trends that we’re happy to see is the integration of design not just into graphics and marketing but as a general philosophy. We’ve shot things at [IDEO](http://www.ideo.com/us/) and with the [d:school at Stanford](http://dschool.stanford.edu/about/) and this whole design world view seems to be gaining more and more momentum. I recently watched [Milton Glaser: To Inform and Delight](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1275724/) and found his insights to be inspiring.
A common refrain here in San Francisco with tech companies and others relates to failure. As David Kelley of IDEO says: *“At IDEO, we believe that enlightened trial and error beats the planning of flawless intellects. In other words, we **fail faster to succeed sooner**. The reason is simple: the best solutions to most problems are rarely the most obvious.”*
Similarly Glaser says: *“Fail more often in order to find out what you’re capable of learning.”*
This week we also got to hear [Terry Winograd](http://dschool.stanford.edu/bio/terry-winograd/) speak at Stanford about what the d:school has been up to and are now scheduling a tour to see how they approach things.
But design thinking isn’t just about failure. It’s more a perspective on the world and something we’re trying to embrace more not only with our photography studio and agency, but also at the level of how we interact with each other and our clients. Check out the video below to see the 60 Minutes segment on Kelley which is pretty insightful:

**Content:**
Sometimes we get so busy that we forget to blog about fun events that we get to cover. One of those was the [Variety Children’s Comedy Benefit](http://varietync.org/news/archives/457) that headlined Zach Galifianakis. It happened during the always fun [SF Sketchfest](http://sfsketchfest.com/), 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 Program (providing specialized adaptive bikes, wheelchairs, and medical equipment for children suffering from degenerative illnesses), the Compassion Fund (providing gas cards, hotel stays and groceries to families traveling far distances to visit their hospitalized children), and the Outreach for At-Risk Youth Program (providing assistance to after-school and community youth programs).

The 2013 Hartmann Studios Client Appreciation event was another big hit. Hosted at [Fort Mason Center](http://www.fortmason.org/), we were again a sponsor and created a studio photo booth (one of our Studio Booth line) with our social media component to instantly share and post photos to Facebook or email them to yourself. Also integrated was an [Instagram](http://instagram.com/) printing station where anyone who hash tagged public photos from the event could visit the kiosk and print out their own photo! A big hit again this year and something we’ve been doing for more and more clients.

As you probably know if you’ve followed our agency or this blog, we love instant photography and have been happy to promote it to our clients as well often shooting vintage Polaroid cameras with Impossible Project film. Well we lucked out and got a Christmas/Holiday present from the Impossible Project folks of a [Polaroid Close-Up Stand](http://shop.the-impossible-project.com/shop/accessories/imp_film/ac_image_repro_stand#p1) this past December and it’s a great tool to push your creativity with.
The Existential Monkey blog also has a [nice post about the Close-Up Stand here](http://existentialmonkey.com/blog/?p=91). Still need to play with it more, but macro photography can be a lot of fun so stay tuned for some samples from this new toy!

### [Event entertainment trend: Pinball machines](https://orangephotography.com/event-entertainment-trend-pinball-machines/)
**Published:** April 2, 2013
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Pinball machines are popping up all over. Is this a trend or something old becoming cool again? We decided to investigate mostly because our company has a couple big pinball fans in our midst and we hope that it’s both a trend and becoming cool again.
We talked to Luiza Flodr of [Video Amusement](http://www.videoamusement.com/pinball-games.php), which is a company that rents video games, pinball machines and more. Flodr told us “the pinball machines are making a resurgence. We have rentals just about every weekend for pinball machines. Also, the pinball machines are the most requested item for corporate long term rental.” Rental rates start at $295 for a single day, but package discounts are available.
You can see all the pinball machines that Video Amusement has in their collection on the [pinballowners.com website](http://www.pinballowners.com/videoamusement) (they currently have 77 machines available).
More evidence here in the Bay Area are the growing number of people you see at bars or other venues playing pinball. Just this past weekend, I was at Molotov’s just to play their Attack From Mars and had to wait for one group to play and during my second game another group of folks came by just to play (they were disappointed that the Creature from the Black Lagoon was out of order).
There were already a few leagues in the Bay Area, but San Francisco now has one called the San Francisco Pinball Department (SFPD) and I myself have started playing in the league. You can [check out some photos from the league on our site here](http://store.orangephotography.com/p215685416).
At many conferences we’ve also seen ‘relaxation lounges’ or chill zones where they have some video games and pinball. I think almost every large tech conference we’ve shot recently has done this and the pinball machines are always a hit. If you’ve got an event upcoming, consider some pinball. We can even give you some expert (er, well, enthusiast) tips on the games that makes them even more fun to play!

### [Time Lapse Photo Booths](https://orangephotography.com/time-lapse-photo-booths/)
**Published:** April 4, 2013
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Time lapse and photo booths can go quite well together. We do regular time lapses (as shown above, for the 2011 ISES-NCC Gala at the [Bently Reserve](http://bentlyreserve.com/)) as well as regular photo booths of all sorts, so setting up a time lapse photo booth is a fun merge of the two. We’ve done this quite a lot for private parties as well as corporate so if you haven’t thought of a fun way to recap and share images from an evening, the time lapse is a lot of fun.
Below is a time lapse photo booth from the [First Exposures](http://firstexposures.org/) benefit auction event. We do this each year and it’s a lot of fun and after the event, anyone who wasn’t even at the event can watch the quick time lapse and get a kick out of it. Add it on to your next photo booth or studio booth experience!
[A](http://vimeo.com/41254671)nother fun thing to do is to create animated GIFs from a photo booth. This mini time lapse works well on web pages where the embedded video looks static (as it does here), but with the animated GIF, it makes a mini time lapse photo booth image that can catch someones attention to make them take notice and hopefully click through to the full clip. Check out our [photobooth website](http://photobooth.orangephotography.com) for more details!

### [Iron Man photo booth and movie themed photo booths](https://orangephotography.com/iron-man-photo-booth-and-movie-themed-photo-booths/)
**Published:** May 13, 2013
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Summer movies will be upon soon and we’ve already started having some fun photo booths starting with this [Iron Man 3](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1300854/?ref_=sr_1) premiere party.
This Iron Man photo booth was interactive with a real live Iron Man, who as you can see here, wasn’t using his full powers…
However, we predict one of the popular themes for events and parties will be [The Great Gatsby](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1343092/). If you’ve seen Baz Luhrmann’s take on the F. Scott Fitzgerald classic, you know that those parties looked awfully fun. We’re looking forward to a few Gatsby parties coming up to see what our local event professionals can come up with similar to that!
What other summer blockbusters (or just movies, film or TV) would you like to see as themes for events?

### [MPI World Education Congress & our Headshot Studio Booth](https://orangephotography.com/world-education-congress-orange-photography-2/)
**Published:** May 17, 2013
**Author:** jack
**Content:**
Orange is excited to announce our third year as the official photographer at the [World Education Congress 2013](http://www.mpiweb.org/events/wec2013), being held at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas this year! If you are unfamiliar, WEC is THE international meeting planner’s event of the year, showcasing industry trends, while cultivating key education and networking opportunities for meeting planners, suppliers and vendors.
Last year, Orange was tasked with over 100 hours of comprehensive conference coverage, complete with onsite delivery of assets for immediate use in the conference daily magazine, One+. It was at WEC 2012 in beautiful St Louis where Orange debuted our Headshot Studio Booth, a high-speed professional studio setup offering high-quality professional headshots immediately onsite. What a hit it was! Orange photographed more than 300 meeting professionals during the four-day conference to glowing reviews from both organizers and attendees alike.
“We partnered with Orange Photography as our official photographer at our annual conference last year and they brought to the table the idea of offering complimentary professional headshots to our members as an added benefit of attending the event. We set up the booth in the main area of the conference in the middle of our partner-driven branded booth spaces, and it was a huge success. The booth was wildly popular with our members and the activity at the booth increased traffic for the other branded booth spaces nearby—it was a win-win for everyone involved. It was such a success that we are planning for two headshot booths this year!” said David Basler, Editor of [One+ magazine](http://www.mpiweb.org/magazine)
We are super excited to be a part of this great event this year, and for years to come! Keep checking back with us on new developments on this budding relationship!

### [Studio Booth or Photo Booth?](https://orangephotography.com/studio-booth-photo-booth/)
**Published:** May 29, 2013
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Studio booth or Photo booth? Having trouble deciding what kind of experience to give your guests? Or still not sure what the options are? At Orange Photography we provide a variety of options that are all sure to WOW your party-goers. Here is a detailed description of what to expect from each option.
The (Open Air) Photo Booth is designed to be an all-inclusive, compact experience. Perfect in the corner or in the middle of the room, it features a portable, freestanding tower with a touch screen that guides the guest through the experience. Similar to a standard photo booth without the limiting enclosure, guests can ham it up as the camera autofires, taking up to 4 shots per use. Prints are automatically ready in less than a minute, printing 2 copies of each picture in standard photo strip format. This Booth can be paired with one of our [Standard 5×5′ backdrops](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/backdrops/) to match your party atmosphere or use the existing natural venue as a background for equally great results!
The Studio Booth is a more robust setup in both experience and quality. Mimicking a full-on professional photo studio, setup consists of a professional lighting set up, professional grade Digital SLR camera, and a large touchscreen for functionality. Our Studio booth still operates on a simple touchscreen interface, making it easy for guests to use, while set up allows for our larger 10×10′ [Premium backdrop](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/backdrops/) and comfortably fit up to six people per shot. This experience also allows for more custom features to match your event and improve your photo experience, such as green screen experience, transforming guests to anywhere imaginable! The overall image quality is better and subsequently, larger print sizes are also available.
You can also remove the touchscreen interface and replace with a professional, flesh and blood photographer and you have our Studio Booth PLUS! With an actual photographer to pose and snap the shots, you get lots of flexibility with staging and posing, and expands the limitless possibilities of the experience. This works well for events where the booth will be used by a variety of group sizes, step and repeat/red carpet style photos, unique or interactive environments, or portrait/headshot image purposes.
All booth options can include any of our [customizations](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/?page_id=42): custom-themed props, branded folder frames, and the option to include our [Social Media](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/?page_id=1193) or [Ipad Kiosk](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/?page_id=1193) which allows guests to email their image immediately after taking it. Every booth experience also comes standard with an online gallery, delivery of digital images with personal licensing, and backup archiving.
Now that you know the differences, we hope you’ll have a better idea about which option is best for you and your event! Booths are always a blast — we hope to be there for your next event to help capture the fun!

### [Visit Denmark!](https://orangephotography.com/visit-denmark/)

We got to work this event that Key Events put on for Visit Denmark and SAS Airlines and you can see our photography team at work shooting Polaroids and such in this video. I recently made my first trip to Denmark and Copenhagen (and Roskilde) and flew SAS to Copenhagen and had a wonderful time. The Smørrebrød brought back memories from the trip (I had it several times, and you can get some decent Smørrebrød here in San Francisco at [Bar Tartine](http://www.bartartine.com/)). Beer enthusiasts probably noticed a few shots of Mikkeller beers and we’re fortunate that they will be opening up a location here in the city later this year too! Definitely would suggest a visit to Copenhagen if you get a chance and for art lovers, make sure to hit up [Louisiana](http://www.louisiana.dk/) which is a short train ride from CPH!

As you might know if you’re a reader of our blog, we’ve been seeing pinball trending in popularity and this is yet another article supporting that. If you flew [Southwest Airlines](http://www.southwest.com/) you might’ve seen the profile on one of us that also mentioned pinball and in the next issue of [San Francisco Magazine](http://www.modernluxury.com/san-francisco) there will be another article on the resurgence of pinball and it will also include a photo from the Orange Photography team.

### [Book Review Imagine How Creativity Works](https://orangephotography.com/book-review-imagine-how-creativity-works/)
**Published:** June 13, 2013
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
[](http://www.powells.com/biblio/9780547386072)
[Imagine: How Creativity Works](http://www.powells.com/biblio/9780547386072) by Jonah Lehrer is a good book for photographers since it delves into creativity and inspiration and where that all comes from.
Since many photographers are also small business owners, the same creativity and inspiration is also useful for running and growing a business.
Some of the insights that came out of the book make a lot of sense and having done a lot of work with the companies and folks profiled in the book, we’ve found things to incorporate into our own studio and agency as well.
One such thing is the focus on a “Third Place” and traveling. Most of this relates to getting out of your comfort zone, which helps to create more creative pathways to come up with better ideas/solutions to problems. When you’re not at home or work (and hence at a Third Place) or when you travel, especially internationally, you are put into a different way of experiencing things from culture, to language and more. When you are in this type of a situation outside your comfort zone, your mind has to work in new ways to figure things out and when it does so, inspiration can often strike. By doing this on a more regular basis, you put yourself in situations that might offer a greater chance of thinking of new ideas.
Other chapters discuss the best way to brainstorm and generate ideas. Lehrer finds that debating ideas instead of a straight brainstorm dump works best. Criticism makes everyone better and like the Toyota thing where anyone can pull the stop on the assembly line – [Jidoka](http://www.toyota-global.com/company/vision_philosophy/toyota_production_system/jidoka.html) – change gets affected quicker and more efficiently when you debate the merits of ideas. The myth of brainstorming working is also debunked with stats but a key area when using debate instead of brainstorming is to only debate/criticize with “plussing” – you have to have an idea on how to fix or improve and idea when you debate it’s merits so that you’re being constructive instead of just destructive. Also, requiring plussing means that the debater will have to think about not just what’s wrong, but also how to make it better.
Lehrer also points out that the best innovation comes from people with lots of loose connections (having many acquaintances vs. a tight-knit group of close friends) . There’s an example of how at [Pixar](http://www.Pixar.com), they purposefully created open spaes where employees have to run into each other (all the bathrooms are in the center area). We actually worked at the company that helped Pixar during their design of the building and although we weren’t working directly on the project, its neat to see the thought behind it.
Cities do the same thing because of the mix of people and density of folks. You might run into a friend or meet new ones when you’re out randomly and these face-to-face interactions are key. With random folks especially, you can help spark ‘a-ha’ moments since it might be something totally unrelated to what you are working on, but because of their different perspective, that might get pathways in your brain to fire differently and give you a much better chance of coming up with a totally unrelated but useful idea or fix to something in your own business/art. Since we do a lot with the hospitality and events/meetings industry this means that meetings and conferences are still key because they enable those ‘random accidents’ to occur and help spark creativity!
So Woody Allen was right, “eighty percent of success is showing up” – whether it’s to a casual meetup, conference, or just talking to folks on the street – you never know where your next spark of creative inspiration may come from!

### [Recology and Art at the Dump tour](https://orangephotography.com/recology-and-art-at-the-dump-tour/)
**Published:** July 1, 2013
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Recology is known to most local Bay Area folks as the company that picks up our trash, compost and recycling. But in 1993 they started their [Artists in Residence Program](http://sunsetscavenger.com/AIR/) aka Art at the Dump.
Currently two artists are working in the program: Kristin Cammermeyer (a painter doing stop motion), and Chad Hasegawa.
We took our team out to check it out and as a Green Business, also to see what happens after you have your trash picked up.
If you’ve never been to the dump or gotten a behind the scenes look, it’s pretty fascinating and it’s also amazing what people throw out. I was most discouraged to see a full on pinball machine that someone threw away! The artists have to use things that come from the dump, and they are allowed to go through stuff to get their materials. There’s also a sculpture garden on the property and if you haven’t been to any of the art openings, you should check one out. Below is a collage of some phone pix we snapped during the tour.
One of the most fascinating things was that they employ a falconer to keep the seagulls at bay.

Although [AT&T wants you to believe that faster is better](http://www.adweek.com/news/advertising-branding/how-att-got-kids-make-some-years-best-ads-148605), we believe that slowing things down can be awesome! Our Slow Motion Photo Booth has been quite a hit at events and we think you’re guests will love it too! The above video was from our first test shoot with the Phantom Miro camera that has been used a lot since it’s release and is a great, easy-to-use and relatively compact machine. We shot at 1500 fps (frames per second) but also sped things up to 800 fps and even 300 fps looks pretty interesting. We’re looking forward to doing more slow motion photo booths in the future so if you think it’d work well for you, give us a shout!

### [Holiday Party venues and ideas](https://orangephotography.com/holiday-party-venues-and-ideas/)
**Published:** August 13, 2013
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
We do a ton of holiday parties each year and of course our [studio booth and photo booth options](http://photobooth.orangephotography.com/) are always a hit but we’ve also got to see a lot of different other holiday party venues and ideas that people have for their holiday parties and thought we’d showcase a few of the things we’ve seen. One of the things for smaller companies is being creative with their venues. This year, December has a weird configuration of dates and many of the larger venues have been booked up since early this year. This means that even some of the smaller venues are getting booked up so people are having to be creative.
At Orange, a few of us are big pinball fans and one venue over in Alameda that’s recently expanded is the [Pacific Pinball Museum](http://pacificpinball.org/). It’s now got an events room as well as the rest of the space that’s all included in a rental. You can have your own catering and DJs (or photo booths!) and also enjoy playing the games throughout the museum.
If you want games at your event you can have a company like [T-Minus One](http://arcadeparty.com/) help you out. They can provide video games, pinball and more. We talked to one of the owners, Andy Kuntz, and he had some great info on some trends and ideas.
“It really depends on the customer and what their event is. We’ve catered to just about everything. We even did an employee party at a funeral parlor once. I would say that that things most customers are interested in, on average, are the things that they can’t already experience on their home consoles. Things like sit-down driving games, skee-ball, electronic dart boards, shuffleboard, photo booths, air hockey, foosball, skiing, snowboarding or skateboarding simulators, pool tables and pinball machines.”
“Again, it just depends on what the client wants. We’ve rented games to various racing events at the [Sonoma Raceway](http://www.racesonoma.com/) and to the San Jose Grand Prix (when it was still in existence). Obviously, they all wanted driving games. We’ve done 40-year-old’s home birthday parties that were all arcade classics. We did [Lucasfilm](http://lucasfilm.com/)‘s Christmas Party and they wanted “snow themed” games so they got skiiing and snowboarding simulators, a Chexx (bubble) Hockey – (sort of a winter sport) and two Skee Balls that we converted to be “Ski-Balls” by covering them in white and blue, hanging fake icicles on the sides, making new custom marquees and then hanging criss-crossed skis and poles above them.”
“We never thought we could actually rent home consoles but people started calling for them. Corporate events sometimes want [Nintendo Wiis](http://www.nintendo.com/wii) and are more than willing to pay the money to have some one else lug the big screen TVs, the furniture to put it on, supply a bunch of games with the unique controllers and to hook it all up. Sometimes big events call for making a big splash. I think it was [Cisco](http://www.cisco.com/) who once wanted something like 12 pool tables. That was a long day involving many trucks,” he says.
Skee-Ball can also be rented from [Joey the Cat](http://joeythecat.com/), who’s also a Skee-Ball National Champion (as shown in the first photo up top) and [Video Amusement](http://www.videoamusement.com/) also does pinball and video game rentals.
Another option (more targeted for home use, but that could also work in the events industry), is what [All You Can Arcade](https://www.allyoucanarcade.com/) is doing.

### [Photo Booth fatigue? Creative photo booth ideas!](https://orangephotography.com/photo-booth-fatigue-creative-photo-booth-ideas/)
**Published:** November 27, 2013
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Find yourself doing the duck face too much? Or pointing to the person next to you? Wanna break out of that photo booth funk when you can’t think of something clever to do? With wedding season in full swing and holiday parties just around the corner (they really are, have you booked yours yet?) it’s time for some creative photo booth ideas and since we’ve been doing them for over twelve years we thought we’d give you some ideas on some funny and fun things we’ve done or seen.
Our friend [Rod Begbie](https://twitter.com/RodBegbie), coincidentally, founder of [Sōsh](http://sosh.com/), a great site/app to find great stuff going on locally, recently posted a funny shot that prompted us to make this post.
Moustaches, glasses, hats and boas are common accessories but in our opinion it’s all about how creative you can get with the props and yourselves. We like thought bubbles, dry-erase and chalk boards since they let folks come up with clever messages. Rod’s was fun although he told us he had some trouble getting the writing to show up. A tip here is to angle the sign downwards some so the flash won’t blow out the text and make it unreadable. I personally did this when I used photobooth strips as a way to communicate when I travel (I just mail them in an envelope and let the strip speak, or add in some actual writing if I feel like it).
With our ultra-popular [slow motion photo booths](http://photobooth.orangephotography.com/slow-motion-booth/), we’ve tried some more creative and messy ideas like colored powder (a la [Color Run](http://thecolorrun.com/san-francisco) or the Indian [Holi festival](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holi)), whip cream, sprinkles, water balloons and even kefir! If you really want a memorable photo booth think creatively and don’t limit yourselves. We love crazy ideas so hit us up too if you are willing to do something that hasn’t been done before (or check out some of our test shots in this gallery of [slo mo booth videos](http://store.orangephotography.com/p618055045))

### [Vegas photo shoot locations: Neon Museum/Boneyard](https://orangephotography.com/vegas-photo-shoot-locations-neon-museumboneyard/)
**Published:** October 2, 2013
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
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](http://www.ghosttowns.com/states/nv/nelson.html), the abandoned mining town.
Of course, what says Vegas more than neon? The [Neon Museum](http://www.neonmuseum.org/) when we first visited it was in the [Emergency Arts](http://www.emergencyartslv.com/) building downtown as their current location was not yet open. It’s now been open almost a year and the Boneyard, as it’s usually known, has become a popular shoot location. We took a tour of the museum this week to check it out and it’s a fun hour-long tour. There’s also a night tour which would be quite interesting too. One of the signs we recognized was the wedding arrow which looks like one that was just off Fremont Street where some of the restored signs were/are. It’s popular for engagement shoots but I could see fashion shoots being done here as well. Rental information for the Boneyard is [available on their website](http://www.neonmuseum.org/plan-a-photo-shoot) as well.

### [Bill Gates on Philanthropy](https://orangephotography.com/bill-gates-philanthropy/)
**Published:** October 24, 2013
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Last week we photographed [Bill Gates](http://www.thegatesnotes.com/) talking about philanthropy and a host of other subjects at the [AirBnB](https://www.airbnb.com) headquarters in San Francisco. He spoke to Sequoia’s [Michael Moritz](http://www.sequoiacap.com/us/michael-moritz/info) 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, we’re working, but also are able to pick up some ideas and thoughts and we got some good perspective from hearing him speak.
When asked about his legacy from an audience member, Gates replied: “It would be nice to achieve some big goals, but you don’t need to be remembered for doing that. Just enjoy doing it.” A great point, that you have to focus on things that you are passionate about to be successful. It’s funny because this is how it works with your own career, as well as with whatever philanthropic efforts you make – follow your passions.
“[Picking something that you care about, in terms of learning, your time, your voice. It is this incredibly fulfilling thing](https://twitter.com/Sequoia_Capital/status/390289545264369664),” Gates continued. “I was shocked about the progress that was possible to make with disease, a few interventions can make a big difference.” This was in relation to malaria research he and his wife Melinda have been doing for years.
When asked how he started, it was surprising to hear that he “was pretty naive about philanthropy when I started – I thought all the good causes were already picked.” But then he went on to explain that you should start local and see what kind of impact you can make in your own backyard and see what resonates with you. From there you can grow outward and expand but it’s important to start local and small first. This is something we’ve been doing with our Social Photography program. We’ve tried to keep it local, and while we haven’t been able to grow it as much as we’d like, it’s still a priority for us as a company. Hearing Gates speak and knowing the impact he’s been able to make was inspiring and has given us some additional impetus to push the Social Photography program forward.

### [Exploratorium After Dark](https://orangephotography.com/exploratorium-dark/)
**Published:** November 8, 2013
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Have you been to [Exploratorium After Dark](http://www.exploratorium.edu/visit/calendar/after-dark)? We’ve been working at the Exploratorium for a while now but tonight we had a chance to just play at After Dark and it was a blast. On Pier 15, the new location seems to be much larger and there are a bunch of new exhibits as well as your old faves to check out.
As photographers, the Exploratorium is amazing, with a bunch of great spots to play, and so many of them ideal for iPhone pix (or any phone!). Towards the end of the night we stayed in the [Shadow Box](http://exs.exploratorium.edu/exhibits/shadow-box/) and played until they turned the lights on. Some tips are to stay closer to the wall for sharper shadows and to try and incorporate movement to freeze. Above you’ll see a collage of phone shots of some tricks we tried in the Shadow Box 🙂
The only issue we had with After Dark was that the Exploratorium is so huge and there is so much to see that it’s hard to even hit all the areas during one visit. If you get involved with a few exhibits, as we did, your time will pass quickly and you’ll realize that the night is over before you want it to. Luckily if that’s the worst of your worries, it’s nothing too bad to deal with and you can always go visit again.

### [Star Trek Tricorder XPRIZE photo shoot](https://orangephotography.com/star-trek-tricorder-xprize-photo-shoot/)
**Published:** December 5, 2013
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
We had a blast recently doing a shoot for the Star Trek Tricorder XPRIZE competition. We had some Star Trek fans at the studio to promote this awesome [Qualcomm Tricorder XPRIZE](http://www.qualcommtricorderxprize.org/) and everyone was really into the shoot. The prize itself is super awesome too: “A $10 million competition to bring healthcare to the palm of your hand,” as they state on the website. We’d love to see this happen and a lot of the other initiatives that XPRIZE is doing are incredible too so [check them out on their website!](http://www.xprize.org/)
We had a ton of help from our friend [Jon Sung](http://about.me/ferociousj) (above) to pull this together: “It helped immensely to have in Dallis a highly professional, organized producer who also spoke fluent Trek, so he could make specific requests about particular alien races and uniform looks. The evening’s photographer, Billy, was also a blast to work with!”
And that awesome Klingon? That was Jesse MacKinnon who said “It was a long process, but putting on the Klingon makeup felt good. It felt natural. In fact, I got the strong urge to disembowel the nearest person I could!”
Here’s some of the shots from the shoot as well as a look behind-the-scenes!

### [Rip-Tie velcro® straps to keep you organized](https://orangephotography.com/rip-tie-velcro-straps-keep-organized/)
**Published:** December 17, 2013
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
I’m sure a bunch of people will have New Years resolutions to be more organized and as a photography studio we have a lot of things that get messy so we decided to get more velcro straps to attach to the many cords and such that we have as part of our photography gear.
We found [Rip-Tie](http://www.riptie.com/) made custom ones and decided to order a batch and then realized they were right here in the San Francisco Bay Area in San Leandro so that was quite a plus to be able to support another local business. This week we dropped by and got to see some of the behind-the-scenes at Rip Tie and found out that the company was actually formed out of the same frustration that we had.
Founder and President Michael Fennell used to manage a video rental department at a local San Francisco photography equipment sales and rental shop. He had to manage all the cords and cables and it was all quite messy and there weren’t really any good solutions so he came up with cable organizers using Velcro® straps and that’s what turned into Rip-Tie.
Their space in San Leandro has a bunch of custom machinery as well as some other old machines (some as old as 20-years old, that have been modified and maintained) like a Brother tacker. But it’s the new machines that were built just for Rip-Tie that are the most impressive. Fennell explained the evolution of the machines and how they were built, which was a lot of pretty nifty engineering that’s way beyond us 🙂
There are various areas where different parts of the manufacturing process happen including a shop where they fabricate what they need, a warehouse/shipping and receiving zone, kitchen, office and lots of open areas where the sewing, stamping and such happens.
We’re super excited to start using our straps to keep our cords and cables more organized and definitely would recommend them to other businesses as well.

These talented guys had a blast jumping in and out of our [Slo Mo Booth](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/booth-comparasions/) at the [Napa Valley Film Festival](http://napavalleyfilmfest.org/). So much so that we had enough footage to twist into a [music video](https://vimeo.com/84182862) for them. This video is a great example of what can be done with the “highlight reels” we offer as part of our Slo Mo Booth experience. It can work for weddings, galas, conferences, or even private events. The Plaid Jackets just released a [podcast](http://theplaidjackets.podbean.com/) featuring all things music, movies, gaming and “geek universe.” The band is now on tour – making their way through Arizona, Missouri and Portland so make sure to [check them out](https://twitter.com/theplaidjackets)!

San Francisco Beer Week has been growing by leaps and bounds every year and we’ve been fortunate enough to have been to all of them and photographed a few events.

### [The Instagram Papers - social media and usage rights grabs](https://orangephotography.com/instagram-papers-social-media-usage-rights-grab/)
**Published:** April 4, 2014
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
As photographers, you may have heard about the Instagram terms of service kerfuffle a while back, but it kind of died down and then it seemed like radio silence. However, the real issue for all users is what the those TOS (Terms of Service) really are and how they impact all users of Instagram.
One thing we weren’t aware of was the fact that you can’t actually delete your account on Instagram which kind of seems bizarre. But based on the TOS it does make sense from the Instagram/Facebook perspective. Since they are allowed to do pretty much anything with your images, it makes sense that the wouldn’t want to delete accounts because that means that they would lose the images from the accounts. Since they are allowed to sell and license any image posted to Instagram, why would they ever want to delete any assets they can make money off of?
Luckily ASMP (American Society of Media Photographers) has taken the lead on challenging this terrible TOS rights grab and is in discussions with Facebook (who owns Instagram). You can follow what’s going on at the ASMP website at:

This week we lost a dear friend in Don Anderson. Don was a mentor at [First Exposures](http://firstexposures.org/) which is how I first met him, but he had done so much before that as well. He always brought positive energy to the classes and was a mentor to us mentors. I always felt like Don was the mentor that I should be and his knowledge and excitement about photography was something that infected both mentor and mentee alike.
While he may be gone, he leaves a lasting impression and I feel fortunate to have known him. The photo above is of Don with his mentee Martin. His obituary is posted here: [Donald R. Anderson 1936 – 2014](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Donald-R.-Anderson-1936-2014.rtf)

### [Camera Bags and Compact Flash - the value of customer service](https://orangephotography.com/camera-bags-and-compact-flash-the-value-of-customer-service/)
**Published:** April 22, 2014
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Recently we had two awesome customer service experiences with two brands we have had a longstanding relationship with. One is [Think Tank Photo](http://www.thinktankphoto.com/) who produces camera bags and accessories, and the other is with [Lexar Media](http://www.lexar.com/). The first product we ever bought from Think Tank was the Airport Antidote camera bag. It was right after the company started up and we heard about them when shooting for the San Francisco Chronicle since some of their folks had used the gear. We eventually got some belt packs as well as other accessories from them, and have found their products to be almost bulletproof. Of course eventually things can fail, and the zipper finally busted on the Antidote so we contacted them about fixing it. Instead, they wowed us by reviewing the damage and offering up a replacement bag instead. Since they are close by, we went up and visited their offices in person and exchanged the old bag for a new one. They let us pick between two options since the original bag was no longer in production. It was a really great customer service experience and will keep us as customers of theirs for sure!
Similarly, we have had pretty good luck with our storage media overall, but the Compact Flash cards we use get written and overwritten repeatedly and frequently. Finally one of our cards broke down and we worked with Lexar online support to test the card. Eventually they ruled that it was defective and we filled out some paperwork and they sent a replacement. Easy!
Great customer service is something we pride ourselves on and when we experience it ourselves, we like to point it out and share our experience with others.

### [Orange Photography Charity Pinball Tournament to benefit First Exposures](https://orangephotography.com/orange-photography-charity-pinball-tournament-to-benefit-first-exposures/)
**Published:** June 13, 2014
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
In case you haven’t noticed, we at Orange have an affinity for pinball. We’ve been [documenting the resurgence in pinball](http://store.orangephotography.com/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, have decided to throw a charity pinball tournament on Sunday June 22nd.
It will benefit [First Exposures](http://firstexposures.org/), whom we have been supporting for many years. First Exposures is a San Francisco-based, nationally recognized youth mentoring program that strives to make a major long-term difference in the lives of high-need, underserved San Francisco Bay Area youth by providing a venue for them to enhance their self-confidence, develop their creativity, and gain a passion for learning. You can find out more about them at their website:
The pinball tournament will have a $15 entry fee that will go to First Exposures. Although there will be some top players there will also be many newcomers and as this will be an IFPA sanctioned tournament, anyone playing in their first pinball tournament will become an internationally ranked pinball player! Beginners and those interested in pinball are definitely welcome as there will be many folks here who can give you tips on play, etc.
We have a [Facebook page setup for the tournament here](https://www.facebook.com/events/639658089442564/) and the [Bay Area Pinball blog also has posted information](http://pinballbayarea.com/2014/06/13/orange-fx-benefit-tournament/) on the tournament.

### [Orange Photography Announces Partnership with 1% for the Planet](https://orangephotography.com/orange-photography-announces-partnership-with-1-for-the-planet/)
**Published:** June 17, 2014
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
[](http://onepercentfortheplanet.org/)We’re excited to announce that we’ve joined [1% for the Planet](http://onepercentfortheplanet.org/) (1%), pledging to donate 1% of annual sales to support non-profit organizations focused on sustainability.
”Signing on to 1% for the Planet shows Orange Photography has a strong commitment to investing in sustainability efforts,” says John Tashiro, Interim CEO. “They’re using business as a tool to engage and motivate their stakeholders while partnering with environmental organizations that complement their brand. We’re excited to welcome Orange Photography to our global network.”
Members of 1% for the Planet contribute one percent of annual sales directly to any of the approved non-profit environmental organizations in the network. Non-profits are approved based on referrals, track record and sustainability focus. Over 3,600 non-profits worldwide are currently approved.
“In our 10th year we’re celebrating that our members contributed $100 million of critically needed funds and it’s just the beginning,” comments Tashiro. “We see that brands benefit too by financially investing in the environment; consumer demand drives much of this success. There’s a paradigm shift happening and we’re thrilled that so many innovative businesses are sling-shotting the movement into high gear.”
This all ties in well with our Social Photography program, which we’ve ran since our inception in 2001 and we’re quite excited to take this to the next level. With our new video capabilities we can bring both motion and still photography as well as our own employees time into what we can give back to the community and those in need. If you’re a non-profit interested in joining 1% for the Planet (like the [San Francisco Bicycle Coalition](http://onepercentfortheplanet.org/nonprofitsearches/memberDetails/1/?ID=a07F000000T8zEVIAZ), who’s already a member), you can [find out more details here](http://onepercentfortheplanet.org/become-a-nonprofit-partner/).

### [Levi's Stadium Ribbon Cutting Photo Ops](https://orangephotography.com/levisstadiumphotobooths/)
**Published:** June 25, 2014
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Yesterday we were on hand as [Levi’s® Stadium](http://www.levisstadium.com/) – Home of the San Francisco 49ers had their ribbon cutting. It was a perfect day as the sun shone down and breezes kept us cool down in Santa Clara. Luminaries such as 49ers owner Jed York and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell were there to open up the new stadium.
We had set up eight photo stations to take photographs of people as they stood in front of a replica of the official ribbon using genuine ribbon cutting scissors. The [49ers Gold Rush](http://www.49ers.com/gold-rush/) were also on hand and [Sourdough Sam ](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sourdough_Sam)[](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sourdough_Sam)was seen roaming the photo stations as well.[](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sourdough_Sam)
It was a lot of fun to be amongst the first to step foot in the new stadium alongside the construction workers and others involved in the build of the new facility. The seats are all cushioned and you feel really close to the field and the concessions include many vegan options we noted. We’re looking forward to the Super Bowl already which will be held at Levi’s Stadium and hope that the 49ers will also be there as participants](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sourdough_Sam)[](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sourdough_Sam)[](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sourdough_Sam)

### [ISES Live Seattle 2014 wrap up!](https://orangephotography.com/ises-live-seattle-2014-wrap-up/)
**Published:** August 21, 2014

[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/7909_ISESLive_0022f.jpg)[ISES Live](http://www.iseslive.com/) was held in Seattle this year and we were there beginning with the leadership education on Sunday and Monday. Below are some photos from our experience but we were mostly there for the education and to network and share. Success stories and challenges were shared, and there were a lot of the usual event technologies on display. I really like [tagboard](https://tagboard.com/iseslive) for how they display tweets similar to [visible tweets](http://visibletweets.com/#query=%23iseslive&animation=1).
Gamifying the experience of social media is a trend that seems to really get people involved too. People always love to see themselves on the big screen so having various leaderboards for people who tweet, interact and re-tweet the most gives people a lot of opportunities to see themselves in the top 20. [SocialPoint](http://www.socialpointforevents.com/) has a nice solution for this that was implemented at ISES Live and that we also saw earlier this month at MPI’s WEC as well.
Some other nuggets for you too busy to read much more?
- Interactivity drives real life interaction, so share; but **face-to-face is still key** to cementing relationships!
- For leaders: Set the direction and vision, and then get out of the way!
- “Be brave & do the things you don’t wanna do. They’ll be the most rewarding”
- [@BillStainton](https://twitter.com/BillStainton/) “When you spread the spotlight, everything gets brighter” – this includes sharing the credit!
- [@NigelCollin](https://twitter.com/@NigelCollin): take a **“yes, and”** attitude, not a “yes, *but*” one…
- [@PatrickTalty](https://twitter.com/PatrickTalty): Focus and Culture are two of the most important facets to creative leadership
- [Rod Mar](http://www.rodmarphoto.com/) reminded us of the importance of great imagery – hire a pro photographer 🙂
- [Jim Pelley](http://www.laughterworks.com/)‘s presentation on Education is the new Marketing:
- 80% of what you post should be about external stuff – your industry, partners, etc. only 20% about yourself
I’m sure there was a ton more but we weren’t able to stay for the final day of education and awards. What were some of your takeaways?

### [chase jarvis LIVE with @swissmiss - passion projects!](https://orangephotography.com/chase-jarvis-live-with-swissmiss-passion-projects/)
**Published:** June 19, 2014
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
We were fortunate enough to get to attend [chasejarvisLIVE](http://blog.chasejarvis.com/blog/live/) live and in person recently! Two members from our team were in attendance in the standing-room-only creativeLIVE studios here in San Francisco on Wednesday June 18th where Tina Roth Eisenberg (aka [@swissmiss](https://twitter.com/@swissmiss)) was [in conversation with Chase Jarvis](http://www.ustream.tv/channel/15751699).
One of the themes was side projects and labors of love and why you should take your side projects seriously. As photographers, I don’t think I’ve known a photographer who didn’t have a side project going on, but the important takeaway was really how if you have a passion project, you can’t treat it like a business, but rather just focus on it for what it is. As Tina herself said, *“don’t think of it as a business, the money comes on it’s own.”*
I’ve seen this happen quite a bit and it inspired me to continue on in a side project I’ve been working on to let it continue to develop.
What are some of your passions and what are you doing about them? As you continue along with it/them, opportunities may arise for you to turn it into a business, but that shouldn’t be your focus. There are a lot of examples of this happening, and one of the ways Eisenberg stays motivated is that whenever she sees herself repeatedly complaining or being bothered about something, she does something about it. That’s where [TeuxDeux](https://teuxdeux.com/) came from and is also something that now provides her with passive income.
Passive income is very important for creatives since it provides you with more freedom to pursue whatever you like, with that passive income subsidizing some of your expenses. Licensing existing images can do this for photographers, as can publishing books that can add to your long tail of revenue.
Another big point, though, was the importance of connecting with real people. The internet is great (we all did a “yay internet” cheer even – see above – can you find us?) but nothing replaces working with people face to face and getting out there. The casual conversations you have can turn into something big or spark another idea. Too many people stay behind their computers and ‘connect’ online, but face-to-face is still so valuable. As [C](http://www.shirky.com/)[lay Shirky](http://www.shirky.com/) says: “We systematically overestimate the value of access to information and underestimate the value of access to each other.”
So go out there, hang out with friends and those that inspire you and see what happens. Your next passion project might get sparked and who knows where it could go from there!

### [Orange Photography Charity Pinball Tournament for First Exposures](https://orangephotography.com/orange-photography-charity-pinball-tournament-for-first-exposures/)
**Published:** June 25, 2014
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Chris Harkins, host of the tournament, takes a shot at the side tournament on Lord of the Rings.
This past Sunday we organized our first charity pinball tournament in Oakland to benefit [First Exposures](http://firstexposures.org/). The event ended up with 41 players from around the Bay Area including some very high ranking players as well as first time competitive pinballers and players representing six different countries. The tournament was played on 12 different machines pitting entrants against each other in head-to-head matches as well as a side tournament on Lord of the Rings pinball, directed by [Belles and Chimes](http://bellesandchimespinball.com/) league founder Echa Schneider.
Below are some photos from the event. The main tournament winner was Chris Heilig who ran the table and was undefeated besting Hal Erickson on [TRON pinball](http://www.sternpinball.com/games/tron/tron) for the win. In the side tournament, youngster Jake Bondar put up a mind-boggling 94,799,370 points on Stern’s Lord of the Rings pinball in three minutes! Anyone who has played [Lord of the Rings](http://pinside.com/pinball/archive/lord-of-the-rings) (LOTR) knows what an impressive feat this is. Bondar noted that he is intimately familiar with the machine and was able to score so highly by carefully planning his strategy to maximize the 180 seconds of play time that he had.
[Full tournament results can be found on the IFPA website](http://www.ifpapinball.com/view_tournament.php?t=1439&e=1&d=2014-06-22#results). The IFPA (International Flipper Pinball Association’s objective is to elevate the awareness and visibility of pinball across the globe and generate media coverage and corporate backing to bring the sport of competitive pinball back into the spotlight.
Stay tuned to our blog if you are interested in future charity pinball tournaments as we will be hosting more in the future!

Our team pulled some long hours during MPI WEC 2014 but we also had time to have some fun. Above, we hit The Local after our shoots wrapped up to have a drink right before last call (notice the bar is empty for all but our team :). But that wasn’t all we did. Mostly we were all over the place covering all the happenings and taking headshots of many of you all.
We also took some photos of the RISE Award winners that you’ll see in a future issue of The Meeting Planner so keep an eye out for that. Here’s Katelyn and Ryan hamming it up as test models before the real winners arrived.

At the headshot stations you might have also seen Katelyn as she captured your best side, and Jack was at the other station. Here he is working while Rebecca helps you make your selection on an iPad from the proofs that were just shot.[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/7948_MPI_WEC_2014_MON_GXH_0168f.jpg)
Ultimately it was an exhausting WEC for the team, but we also made sure to take time to go out and play some too. The folks we met in Minneapolis were all super nice and welcoming and presented the city excellently! Thanks [Meet Minneapolis](http://www.minneapolis.org/partners-amp-community/meet-minneapolis/about-meet-minneapolis) – we look forward to a return visit!

We have been working with [Help-Portrait](http://help-portrait.com/) for five years now and this year we participated at the [Joseph Lee Rec Center](http://sfrecpark.org/destination/joseph-lee-rec-center/) in the Bayview district of San Francisco. [Giving Back](/aboutus/givingback/) 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](http://www.firstexposures.org/) to help with the Help-Portrait volunteer effort. There were five stations set up with professional lighting donated by [Samy’s Camera](http://www.samys.com/) and a lot of other talented artists were on hand from makeup artists, photographers, and brewers to flickr employees and beyond.
Here’s a few photos from the setup before things got crazy. If you’re interested in our Giving Back program, you can [read more about it and our philanthropic efforts here](/aboutus/givingback/). If you are a 501(c)(3) non-profit looking for photography services or volunteers, please do reach out!

### [Company Holiday Party Tips - Do's and Don'ts and Photobooth ideas](https://orangephotography.com/company-holiday-party-tips-dos-donts-photobooth-ideas/)
**Published:** December 9, 2014
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Funnily enough The Bold Italic beat us to this ([How to Survive Your Company Holiday Party](http://www.thebolditalic.com/articles/6310-how-to-survive-your-company-holiday-party)) but we were trying to get some real-life examples during all the holiday parties we’re photographing and the holiday party photo booths we’re doing all season. It’s always a fun part of the year for us since everyone is having a great time, but here’s a few do’s and don’ts from the event planner and photographers perspective (illustrated with photos of course!) – what are some of your favorites?
**Holiday Party “Do” List:**
1\) Go to the back and most remote part of the party first – chances are, there will be a bar there with little to no line vs the first bar which is usually slammed! #Protip
2\) If there’s a caricature artist (or tarot reader, psychic, or amazing on-demand poet like Silvi from **[the poetry store](https://twitter.com/thepoetrystore)**) you **should get in line right away**! Many of these fun options take a bit of time and by the time everyone else got their noms on (or first three rounds of cocktails in), the lines will be really long.
3\) EAT!!! You gotta line that stomach with something aside from just the company-provided alcohol. Eating is not just smart, it’ll save you in the morning. Oh yeah, you should also drink lots of water. Pace yourself with a glass of water after every other drink – and don’t stop sampling all the tasty eats that the hard working caterers are creating for you (and this includes dessert!)
**DO NOT!**
We’re gonna [leave this section up to the fine folks at The Bold Italic](http://www.thebolditalic.com/articles/6310-how-to-survive-your-company-holiday-party), but the first and most obvious one is to not embarrass yourself in a bad way. It’s ok to have fun and be goofy but don’t do something that’ll get the HR folks on your case 🙂
### Holiday Party Photo Booth Trends, Tips and Ideas:
1\) **Selfies** are ubiquitous but turn it up a notch and leverage those photo booths to create something more fun. Depending on the scene/setup do something creative!
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/8030_GoogleHoliday_RAW_GXH_WoodBooth-293f.jpg)
2\) Leverage the props! Don’t think of what they are literally, but see what you can create out of them – and don’t take yourself too seriously – unless it’s in a fun way!
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/8030_GoogleHoliday_RAW_GXH_WoodBooth-428f.jpg)
3\) Look at the camera, not the screen! Put aside your inner narcissist, at least for a second, and look at the camera – unless you are trying for a different effect, of course. Then it’s great to look away on purpose!
4\) If you are doing one of our slo-motion photo booths (slo-mo), the key is to always exaggerate your movements. You pretty much can’t over commit. If you have a head rush or your glasses fly off your face, then you’re doing it right! 🙂 Remember, the camera will slow your movement down!

### [2014 San Francisco Giants World Series Championship Parade!](https://orangephotography.com/2014-san-francisco-giants-world-series-parade/)

### 3x World Series Champs!!!
Wow, what a run this year! I felt like we were the best team in baseball and then the worst team in baseball, and then who knows what. Once we got into the playoffs and won the Wild Card it was an insane ride and I must say the Royals were probably the better team but we were able to pull out another World Series Championship for our third in five years – incredible!
As a Giants fan since 1986 when Will Clark came up (used to watch him beat up on my home team, the Auburn Tigers – where Tim Hudson pitched back in the day – while Clark was at Mississippi State), we had many chances like the earthquake year in 1989 and then heartbreak in 2002. After 2010 I was kind of satisfied to have won a World Series at all in my lifetime so this third one is kind of crazy.
We got to [photograph the 2012 parade](http://store.orangephotography.com/p1041925821) for the Mayor’s Office and did so again this year. Here are some photos! (the [full gallery is posted here](http://store.orangephotography.com/p535550394)).
The two most memorable moments were 1) when Pence and Huddy said “War Eagle!” (Auburn’s battle cry) and 2) When Bumgarner (who is taking a selfie of his own ‘Mad bum’ in the pic below) mentioned that he really love the sign in the middle of the crowd (which you can see in the full gallery right after the pix of Bumgarner on stage speaking 🙂[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/8184_GiantsWSParade_0065f.jpg) [](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/8184_GiantsWSParade_0096f.jpg) [](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/8184_GiantsWSParade_0102f.jpg) [](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/8184_GiantsWSParade_0111f.jpg) [](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/8184_GiantsWSParade_0131f.jpg) [](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/8184_GiantsWSParade_0141f.jpg) [](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/8184_GiantsWSParade_0148f.jpg)

## [](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/8073_IMPACT_11.07.14_GXH_RAW-187f1.jpg)Travel Lighting Rental Tips
At Orange Photography, we do a lot of travel and photo shoots on-location. As a result, we’ve had some issues finding good rental houses (or lighting rental locations at all!). One of the best solutions we’ve found (aside from renting locally from the place you’re shooting at) is to just use your local rental house to ship, or use great services like [BorrowLenses.com](http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?B=604259&U=1045914&M=12808&urllink=).
We recently had a shoot out in Denver and when we polled several local professional photographers we didn’t get any good news about good local lighting rental houses with great customer service, so we decided to use [BorrowLenses.com](http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?B=604259&U=1045914&M=12808&urllink=).
The really nice thing about them is that they can ship your gear to wherever your shoot is, and they include shipping labels to ship the gear back with so it’s super simple. We’ve rented quite a bit from them for similar shoots and have always had a great experience with their simple workflow for renting and returning gear. If you want to try out gear you haven’t had a chance to use, renting is also a great option.
Locally (in San Francisco) we typically rent from [Samy’s](http://www.samys.com/g/Samy-Camera-Rental-Department/2218.html), but if you have a location shoot somewhere that doesn’t have good rental options, definitely check out BorrowLenses!

### [Top Five Event Entertainment Ideas for 2015!](https://orangephotography.com/top-five-event-entertainment-ideas-2015/)
**Published:** January 13, 2015
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/7389_DropboxSloMo_0004f.jpg)Did you see a ton of cool stuff at your company holiday party this past month? I know we saw quite a lot since we were working at so many amazing events. Obviously we’ve seen a lot more interest in more elaborate photo booths, and people have been booking our slow motion photo booth (Slo Mo Booth) a ton. It’s really caught on, and I think part of that might’ve been since the iPhone 6 started having slow motion video, people are just really addicted to it, especially in a more fully fleshed out experience like we have been doing for our clients.
So that kicks off our top ten list of event entertainment ideas for 2015!
## 1) Slow Motion Photo Booths
Our Slo Mo Booth (or version of our original [Slow Motion Photo Booth](/services/boothoverview/slo-mo-booth/)) has really been picking up steam. Even though we first launched it two years ago, a lot of folks still haven’t seen this or played in one. It’s a truly memorable experience and one that gets shared a ton by event-goers. There’s also a lot of latitude with how you can customize it to fit your theme, and how else can you legitimately do things like a dunk tank, color run dust party or other fun and messy ideas? It doesn’t have to be messy, but if you wanna really make a statement, there’s a lot of crazy ideas you can pull off with this!
## 2) Personalized Experiences
People really love something personalized. It’s probably why caricature artists are so popular as well as photo booths. Another option we really like is [personalized poems](http://thepoetrystore.net/). These are written on-demand on a variety of subjects. You can force the subject or have it open ended as well and many of these poets do them on vintage typewriters which adds another nice touch to your event.
## 3) Adult Proms
Bailey Nakano, Private Event Sales Manager for [The Regency Center](http://www.regencycentersf.com/) noted that adult proms are a growing trend with several being booked at her property. In San Francisco this is not a surprising trend with all the young tech types not wanting to grow up. It’s also a great excuse to get cheekily dressed up and dance to 80s music.
## 4) Themed Parties
This is a more general category and over the holidays we saw a lot more themes for holiday parties. This doesn’t just mean winter themes, but beyond that. According to Natasha Miller of [Entire Productions](http://www.entireproductions.com/), Prohibition/20’s, Masquerade, Beach Party, Cirque and Casino themes have been trending up and provide a lot of flexibility with the theme. Entire is able to program talent and entertainment very specifically to the planner’s vision and theme. She adds: “Everyone’s looking for what’s not been done before which is difficult, but with costuming, choreography, music selection we can keep it fresh!”
## 5) Dueling DJs
We got this from Jamie Snively of [Associated Entertainment](http://www.aecsf.com/) who says: “The Dueling DJ’s is an interactive, energetic and engaging live performance where the crowd becomes the main attraction! By utilizing social media, The Dueling DJ’s puts the power of picking the next track into the hands of the party goers. This incredible experience is the brainchild of DJ CoryLive from American Idol, The Voice and Dancing with the Stars. The Dueling DJ’s team is made up of an exceptional group of DJ/MC’s featuring DJ Kelly Dlux , DJ Dre and DJ Sean Patrick along with DJ CoryLive. The Dueling DJ’s transcends the DJ/Crowd environment and creates a unique live event experience.”
These were just five we know of that are trending in the San Francisco Bay Area – if you have other thoughts please share them in the comments section below.

**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
We know everyone is busy welcoming in the new year and perhaps making their own New Years Resolutions so if you resolve to keep up with what’s happening in the events industry then here’s a list we’ve compiled of the top events industry blogs to follow.
## 1) [Event Manager Blog](http://www.eventmanagerblog.com/)
Another standby, the Event Manager Blog is full of great insights and perspectives. We like their take on things like this post: [7 Winning Ways of the Event Food Waste Warrior](http://www.eventmanagerblog.com/food-waste-reduction) – as a San Francisco Green Business, we like to see all things green being embraced and food waste is a huge issue in our industry and America as a whole – [check out this fantastic article about it from National Geographic](http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2014/10/141013-food-waste-national-security-environment-science-ngfood/).
## 2) [BizBash](http://bizbash.com/)
Everyone is probably familiar with this publication and we love their thorough coverage of the events industry. Richard Aaron is a great personality (we got to hear him speak most recently at the [ISES-NCC chapter’s November education event](http://ises-ncc.org/meetinginfo.php?id=10))
## 3) [Eventbrite](http://blog.eventbrite.com/)
Our fellow local orange-colored friends have a great blog with info on event tech, trends and ways to maximize the impact of your events!
## 4) [PlannerWire](http://plannerwire.net/)
Good thoughts and writing here. We like their posts such as “[Not all Events can use Social Media](http://plannerwire.net/event-marketing/social-media/events-can-use-social-media)” – read it!
## 5) [Liz King Events](https://twitter.com/lizkingevents)
We’ve been following her twitter feed and so should you (probably you already do)!
## 6) [EventJuice](http://eventjuice.co.uk/blog/)
Well, our blog used to be called Pulp: Juicy Bits from the Orange Photography team, so of course we love EventJuice! They’ve got a nice international perspective being from the UK with great articles such as [The 5-step Process for Managing Difficult Speakers](http://eventjuice.co.uk/the-5-step-process-for-managing-difficult-speakers/).
## 7) [Smart Meetings ](http://www.smartmeetings.com/meeting-and-event-planning-news/)
Smart Meetings, the appropriately titled publication, has a blog with info on destinations and travel trips as well as general industry-specific news.
## 8) [Velvet Chainsaw](http://velvetchainsaw.com/)
Always loved the name of this company and have seen Jeff Hurt speak numerous times. They like to get deep into things with fresh ideas and approaches. No fluffy content here!
## 9) [Cvent Blog](http://blog.cvent.com/)
More business focused, but good data and reporting from Cvent.
## 10) [Propel @ PlanningPod](http://blog.planningpod.com/)
Lots of statistics and reports are cited so you can get some good data on what’s happening in the events industry.
### 11) [Event Planning Blueprint](http://eventplanningblueprint.com/blog)
This is a good site for the emerging events professional or those who want to grow their business. More on the business side of things, but if there’s one thing we’ve learned in our 15 years being in business it’s that it’s just as important to focus on your business and marketing as it is to improve your own skills and expertise!
Let us know in the comments section below what are some of the other blogs you like to follow for the events industry!

It might be awards season in Hollywood, but we’re honored to have been part of the UCSF Champions Gala this past weekend!

### [Mini Review: On Photography by Susan Sontag](https://orangephotography.com/mini-review-photography-susan-sontag/)
**Published:** January 21, 2015
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
This isn’t so much a review since *[On Photography](http://www.powells.com/biblio/95-9781429957113-0)* has been out for so long and should be a staple in any photographers library. Upon revisiting the text, it’s still full of thoughtful and relevant ideas. There are also numerous quotes that will make you laugh and think and maybe even reflect upon and inspire your own photography.
Early in the book, there’s a good one from Diane Arbus that I relate to completely from my initial foray into photography: “I always thought of photography as a naughty thing to do – that was one of my favorite things about it, and when I first did it. I felt very perverse.”

### [Arcade Expo 2015](https://orangephotography.com/arcade-expo-2015/)
**Published:** January 18, 2015
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/pinball2015_0057f.jpg)[Arcade Expo](http://www.arcadeexpo.com/) held their first event at the [Museum of Pinball](https://www.facebook.com/MuseumOfPinball) in Banning, CA this past weekend and we were on hand to cover the opening. It was a packed weekend full of pinball, video games, seminars and even a new [Guinness World Record](http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/) attempt.
The facility boasts both pinball and classic arcade games and they were split up into two main rooms. The pinball room was arranged by eras and there was a separate tournament area in one corner as well as a bar and seminar room (as well as a secret “adults only” room with adult-themed pinballs next to the bar).
A lot of industry notables were on hand, including [Roger Sharpe](http://gizmodo.com/how-one-perfect-shot-saved-pinball-from-being-illegal-1154267979), [Billy Mitchell](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Mitchell_%28video_game_player%29), [Walter Day](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Day) and many others like [Pinburgh](http://papa.org/papa-tournaments/pinburgh/) 2014 champion Jim Belsito.
A documentary crew was also on hand working on a pilot and the local radio station was there to cover the Guinness Book of World Records attempt, which it seemed succeeded: “Although Guinness will have to verify all our paperwork and video footage, Walter Day and Billy Mitchell confirmed 331 participants as we BROKE THE WORLD RECORD for the most people playing pinball simultaneously. (Previous record was 272.)”
While many games weren’t functioning, this was the first event held at the facility and they have another event upcoming in October of 2015. Hopefully by then most all of the machines will be functioning, as the collection is quite impressive with many rare machines.
Personal favorites were learning games like TX Sector, Viking, Dakar and a bunch more. One of the best things about attending is taking advantage of the access to so many interesting machines. The event drew a wide mix of pinheads, video game enthusiasts and the general public and seemed to be a great success for the first time out.

### [We're a Minority Business Enterprise and ready for Super Bowl 50!](https://orangephotography.com/minority-business-enterprise-ready-super-bowl-50/)
**Published:** January 31, 2015
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/001__E8A4482.jpg)Yes we said [Super Bowl 50](http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/11031941/nfl-take-one-year-hiatus-roman-numerals-super-bowl-50), not the [Super Bowl](http://www.nfl.com/superbowl/49) that’s coming up this weekend, but as part of our effort to do more business with the Super Bowl we got our [MBE](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minority_business_enterprise) (Minority Business Enterprise) certification. The MBE takes a lot of effort and proof to show that you are, in fact, a minority-owned business as we are here at Orange Photography.
The designation make it more formal and allows you to officially bid for things as an MBE. Other designations that are related include the WBE (for Women owned Business Enterprises), DVBE (Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise) and LGBTBE (for Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Transgendered Business Enterprise). I’m not sure how you might prove that you are LGBT to the government, but it’s great to see businesses supporting LGBT businesses.
While we don’t have any of our local teams in the Super Bowl this year we are hopeful for an [Oakland Raiders](http://www.raiders.com/) vs. [San Francisco 49ers](http://www.49ers.com/) Super Bowl next year! (yeah, yeah, we know that it’s pretty much not gonna happen, but we can dream!)
If you are interested in getting your MBE (Minority Business Enterprise), WBE (Women-owned Business Enterprise) or other designation, we found that [The Supplier Clearinghouse](http://suppliernetwork.net/) was a good place to go through to get the designation. With our efforts to book more business with Super Bowl 50, there were a few vendors they recommended and we found them through the Super Bowl’s Business Connect program and found them very responsive and efficient.

[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/8322_RF_23andMeLightPainting_RAW-7f.jpg)Do you know where you’ll be on October 21, 2015? Chances are it’ll be a Back to the Future party and if you haven’t been to a Back to the Future party this year yet, we guarantee you will!
We’ve done several Back to the Future parties already this year and anticipate a bunch more as it’s definitely a hot and timely trend for parties.
“2015 is not only when Marty and Doc go into the future but it also marks the 30th anniversary of the original Back To The Future. It’s going to be an exciting year filled with lots of [parties and special screenings](http://backtothefuture.com/News-Events/upcoming-events). It’s also fun to witness how the future holds up in real life compared to the film. I’m most excited to be attending the [‘We’re Going Back’ Fan Celebration](http://www.weregoingback.com/) in late October,” says Back to the Future fan and co-founder of [Taplist](http://taplist.at/), [Brian O’Neill](http://www.ifpapinball.com/player.php?p=19301).

Earlier this year we got to photograph an event where they had an amazing Delorean that featured some of the original props from the movie (above and below). And here in the San Francisco Bay Area there is a Delorean hovercraft that I bet will be leveraged into an event at some point.

[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/8322_RF_23andMeLightPainting_RAW_0036f.jpg)Light painting photography is something that’s pretty fun to do and now available as a photo booth!
We had been toying with the idea of doing one and finally set it up recently. There are a lot of light painting tools out there now so we experimented with some basic ones first. We knew people would want to write in light so we decided to flip the images as it is often too hard for people to write backwards so the writing shows up right and that worked out pretty well (see above and below).
You can also get some neat transparency effects by using a strobe and of course multiple exposures of the same person, which can be kind of freaky. If you’re interested in a Light Painting Photo Booth for your next event, please reach out to our sales team!

### [Vacation Photography Tips: Thailand](https://orangephotography.com/vacation-photography-tips-thailand/)
**Published:** February 25, 2015
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
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 (if anything).
Recently I went on a vacation to Thailand and had to decide on whether I would bring my pro gear along, or just use my phone. I really thought about bringing just the phone, but then realized I would want some nice shots that could be produced into gifts, etc.
The final decision was to bring along one DSLR body and two lenses to keep things simple (50mm and 16-35). No flash, and just a couple extra charged batteries to limit myself. Limitations are quite good for creatives since they force you to come up with solutions so I was comfortable with the gear selection. I also brought along an old Polaroid 600 style camera with about five packs of [Impossible Project](https://www.the-impossible-project.com/) film.
The trip was divided up into three portions starting in Bangkok, then in Chang Mai and finally finishing up in Koh Chang (One of the best resources for finding things on Ko Chang is [IamKohChang.com](http://iamkohchang.com/).)
While most of the photography I did when I brought along my camera was more documentary style, I did find one story I wanted to shoot on Koh Chang. Finding a good story is a fun angle to keep things interesting as a photographer, but if you are traveling with friends it might get in the way (luckily I co-opted my friend into the story as she was interested in the scene as well, so that worked out well).
Here’s a few shots from the trip:
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/genex2015_0025f.jpg)The SkyTrain was a super easy way to get around Bangkok. Here a morning commuter contemplates her day. Or just hasn’t had her coffee yet…

[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/genex2015_0076f.jpg)A must have in Chang Mai is Khao Soy. The contrast of the crunch and noodles is amazing and the spices are so flavorful and complex. Yum!
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/genex2015_0091f.jpg) The Elephant Nature Park is a great experience. You will learn about the plight of Asian Elephants, feed them, take walks with them and eat lunch together. ([more photos](http://store.orangephotography.com/p687339355))
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/genex2015_0123f.jpg)Shooting Polaroids was fun and I gave this girl a portrait of herself that was shot on Impossible Project film. She was quite the ham!
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/genex2015_0127f.jpg)Street food is fantastic in Thailand. Here a night market in Chang Mai provides many tasty options!
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/genex2015_0137f.jpg)Cat cafes are also popular in Thailand – who knew? This is a beautiful feline at [Catmosphere](http://www.catmospherecafe.com/) in Chang Mai.
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/genex2015_0145f.jpg)In Thailand you drive on the left and the drivers seat is on the right. It’s also HOT so you only get A/C – no heat here!

[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/genex2015_0165f.jpg)Get off the beaten path! We went past Long Beach on [Ko Chang](http://iamkohchang.com/koh-chang-island-guide/salakphet-bay) to discover this beautiful, serene lagoon. Well worth the bumpy ride!
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/genex2015_0171f.jpg)The story I discovered was of these guys playing snooker every night in the fisherman’s village in Ko Chang. This guy in particular was really friendly and you can tell he is having fun.
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/genex2015_0176f.jpg)I love the look of smoke and since here in California you can’t smoke indoors, pool hall shots just don’t have the same effect as they do when you could smoke inside. Although this place was open air, I still love the ambience.
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/genex2015_0177f.jpg)This lady would just rack up the balls and she was covered in chalk. She also watched the guys play and laughed at some of the antics of my friend who tried to join in.

### [Project Pinball charity at the UCSF Children's Hospital](https://orangephotography.com/project-pinball-charity-at-the-ucsf-childrens-hospital/)
**Published:** March 11, 2015
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/8441_UCSFProjectPinball_0004.jpg)We’re excited that today we’ve loaded up our pinball machine, a [Stern Iron Man](http://www.sternpinball.com/games/iron-man-vault/iron-man-pro), to drop off at the [UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital](https://www.ucsfbenioffchildrens.org/) just down the street here in the Dogpatch in San Francisco. This is part of a test run we’re doing through the [Project Pinball Charity](http://www.ProjectPinball.org).
According to Daniel Spolar: “Project Pinball Charity Group. Inc. assists in enriching children’s lives through active play and distraction from ‘hospital life’. This allows our smallest patients the opportunity to focus on something other than medical tests, medications, treatments and procedures.
“Several studies have shown that therapeutic play is effective in decreasing anxiety and fears for children from the time of admission through time of discharge. By having the opportunity to ‘get away’ and play pinball for a brief moment, the patient and their families can see and feel an improved quality of life through the distraction playing provides,” says Spolar.
Project Pinball chooses different Children’s Hospitals across the nation and establishes a rapport and working relationships with the hospitals to introduce their concept to them. They then reach out to those communities for their help and assistance. The charity relies on people from the community to embrace this gift for their local children in their local Children’s Hospital.[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/8441_UCSFProjectPinball_0003.jpg)
Say Spolar: “We depend on local fundraising, donations, supporters and volunteers in that community to be able to provide top of the line pinball machines and services to hospital wards for all to benefit from.
“These volunteer/ technicians are vital part of this charity operations and is the easy position to get filled because there are wonderful people from these local communities that understand the benefits and want to give back. People and pinball players that have passion to share, who have a love for helping children and a love for pinball as well.
“An example of these committed volunteers is UCSF’s own [Andrei Massenkoff](http://www.ifpapinball.com/player.php?p=53) a Child Life Teacher, a world ranked pinball player and a volunteer technician. This charity works because of its local support; without it, the Project Pinball charity would not be able to reach as many children as easily and it would take a greater amount of time and money.”[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/8441_UCSFProjectPinball_0005.jpg)
Partnering with Project Pinball Charity is a true win-win for communities, hospitals and patients, parents, grown-ups, doctors and nurses. Project Pinball places pinball machine in Children’s Hospital across the coutry at no cost to the hospital or patients, ever.

### [Orange Sponsors Storytellers for Good](https://orangephotography.com/orange-sponsors-for-storytellers-for-good/)

As part of our [Giving Back Program](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/aboutus/givingback/), we recently partnered with [Storytellers for Good](https://www.facebook.com/StorytellersforGood) as a photography sponsor for their yearly fundraiser. We worked closely with Cara Jones who founded Storytellers for Good, and this Emmy Award winning news reporter turned nonprofit producer is just as inspiring as the stories she brings to life.
We were so proud to be a part of this great community event, and congrats to the winner of their next pro bono video, [Life Goes On Foundation](https://www.facebook.com/pages/Life-Goes-On-Foundation/200614006624525)! The foundation is dedicated to eliminating youth violence and helping those with paralysis, and I’m sure a new promo video will help get the word out about this worthy cause.
Social Photography is an important part of our culture at Orange, and we look forward to continuing to make a positive difference in the SF Bay Area and beyond!

Bonding with your coworkers doesn’t have to be at happy hour. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy chatting over a good beer or margarita. [Magnolia](http://magnoliapub.com/dogpatch.html) just opened up Smokestack a block away from our studio and their beer is incredible! But there are TONS of other ways to connect with coworkers outside of work. [Github](https://www.facebook.com/GitHub) and [Rocket Fuel](https://www.facebook.com/rocketfuelinc) got creative at their recent company offsites with a dodgeball tournament and agency olympics which we covered. Photographing these events was so fun, especially with the crazy wigs and spirited chants! Athletics and recreation have often been at the center of team building, plus it’s a great way to sweat off stress.

Moving around and taking breaks is critical to brainstorming fresh ideas. At Orange, we have a [pinball machine](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/project-pinball-charity-at-the-ucsf-childrens-hospital/) in the studio and a ton of running enthusiasts training for the upcoming [Ragnar Relay](https://ragnarrelay.com/) in Napa. If you haven’t seen [Nilofer Merchant’s TED talk](http://www.ted.com/talks/nilofer_merchant_got_a_meeting_take_a_walk?language=en) about “walking meetings,” you should check it out! With gorgeous weather in San Francisco, taking a walk outside is such a treat, and we’re lucky to be just a few blocks away from Esprit Park. Next time you have a meeting, consider stepping outside and soaking up some vitamin D. And for your next offsite, why not play a game of dodgeball?

### [Volunteering in San Francisco at the SF-Marin Food Bank](https://orangephotography.com/volunteering-in-san-francisco-sf-marin-food-bank/)
**Published:** April 9, 2015
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/SFMarin_FB-1095f.jpg) Right here in our neighborhood is the [SF-Marin Food Bank](http://www.sfmfoodbank.org/) and as part of our Giving Back program, we’ve done some [volunteering with them](http://www.sfmfoodbank.org/volunteer). The organization itself is really great as it provides over 47-million pounds of food per year to those in need.
The building we volunteered in is in our neighborhood just outside of the Dogpatch and it was built expressly for the Food Bank.
We learned that more of the food they get goes to food pantries which are places like a church or school that resides in a community and that it’s mostly produce and dry goods that they distribute. (Most of us are probably more familiar with the canned food drives they do around the holidays, but as our first session proved, there’s a TON of produce that gets sent out too!)
**Other facts:**
- 60% of the food that’s distributed is actually produce
- about 350 organizations in total receive food from the Food Bank
- In the 2-hours we volunteered on day one, there were about 13,200 lbs. of oranges packed = about 26,000 people helped that day (March 4, 2015)

### [Review: Disposable Camera app by Photojojo](https://orangephotography.com/review-disposable-camera-app-by-photojojo/)
**Published:** April 21, 2015
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Disposable cameras? As in those little Kodak or Fuji ones you used to buy at the [ABC Store](https://www.abcstores.com/) when you were on vacation in Hawaii or at the [7-Eleven](https://www.7-eleven.com/) near the checkout? Yep it’s exactly that but in app form built by [Photojojo](https://photojojo.com/disposablecamera/). WTH right? We thought it was a pretty cool idea and so we had to [download it](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/disposable-camera-app/id978467009?mt=8) right away to play with it. Here’s our thoughts on the app and resulting prints!
We took our 27 shots and then the app uploaded the files and we got the message below on the screen:[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/2015-04-10-07.35.06.png)Four days later we got a notice via email that our prints are on their way along with a tracking number so we eagerly awaited them to arrive in our mailbox at the studio!
After you ‘finish’ a roll of film, the app lets you order another disposable camera.
The prints arrived in a box that you rip off the tab to open up and there’s a nice touch under the tear-off tab that is so Photojojo (we won’t spoil it!)
The prints themselves are like postcards more than photographic prints and the pack we got came with four postcard backers that you stick onto prints you like and it turns them immediately into a postcard you can mail to friends, family or even your enemies.
Since the joy of printed images is that they are physical, tangible things, it’s great to be able to send them as postcards so that’s a nice touch. Since they are not glossy as well, you can easily write on the back of them and send them as thank you notes, or just to say hello. Definitely fun and the images came out really nicely on our iPhone 6 that we tested with.

### [Bespoke event venue opening at Westfield SF](https://orangephotography.com/bespoke-event-venue-opening-westfield-sf/)
**Published:** May 4, 2015
**Author:** jack
**Content:**
We were very excited to collaborate again with [Westfield](https://www.westfield.com/sanfrancisco/) and [DPEM | Event Marketing](http://www.dpem.com/) for the latest and greatest SF event venue launch on April 23rd. Bespoke is a great concept – ‘A trifecta of co-working, demo, and event spaces strategically located at Westfield San Francisco in the epicenter of downtown, where tech and retail marketplaces converge.’
See more info on their website at:
We are also honored to be a Preferred Vendor for Photography and Photo Booth services at this unique venue. If you have any upcoming events or are interested in the space, please [reach out to us](/contact/). The Bespoke event venue should be a popular option for conferences, conventions and even private parties!
Here’s some of the photos from our animated GIF photo booth that we had set up which used green screen to transport people onto a fashion show runway. First is a phone shot animated GIF of how it looked on site, while actual examples are posted below that.

### [Buying Stock Photos / Custom Stock Libraries (aka how to stand out!)](https://orangephotography.com/custom-stock-libraries-aka-how-to-stand-out/)
**Published:** May 7, 2015
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/66-5825-SC-0632.jpg)Recently I got to hear [Joanne Dennison](http://www.theordinarysuccessproject.com/) speak about intellectual property rights. She had some great insight into how to use creative and intellectual property correctly to avoid lawsuits and such. Many event professionals may be aware that using popular music at events and in presentations requires a license but many probably don’t do so. The same goes for photos and video.
As a photographer and owner of a photography agency we deal with these issues on a regular basis and one of the things we’ve seen emerging over the last several years is the trend toward our clients hiring us to do **custom stock photo libraries**. A custom stock library is basically created through a shoot where we use either hired talent or actual employees of a firm on location and shoot the type of images they may want to use for their presentations, etc. This can include ‘business’ type shots of people in a meeting, shots of their facilities and/or products or services in action, as well as video clips of them in action. All of these are then usable by the company with no fear of additional licensing fees or lawsuits, and more importantly, no one else, especially a competitor, will have the same images in the marketing pieces (which can cause clients a lot of confusion and has happened more than you might think).
Many people are worried that buying stock photos can be expensive but if you set aside a budget to create your own custom stock library all the uses of the images are included and you know it will be relevant to your brand.[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/genentech_bonfire_siteServices_RAW_0509.jpg)

### [Drone Photography and Event Photography](https://orangephotography.com/drone-photography-and-event-photography/)
**Published:** April 29, 2015
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Drones have been in the news quite a bit and the recently held National Association of Broadcasters conference in Vegas had a dedicated [Drone Pavilion](http://www.nabshow.com/attend/aerial-robotics-and-drone-pavilion). We’ve been playing around with the best ways to do event photos with unique perspectives with drones and it reminded me of some drone light painting we did in Berlin a couple years ago.
[Nate Bolt](http://boltron.com/) piloted the drone in these shots but there are a lot of options for what you can do with drones for your event. Anything from aerial shots in event videos, to “dronies” or group portraits and flybys – to a fun session letting your team play with drones, there are a ton of options for aerial and drone photography and video. Corbin Ball Associates named drone video as one of the “[Ten Transformative Meetings Technology Trends for 2015](http://www.corbinball.com/articles_future/index.cfm?fuseaction=cor_av&artID=9207)”
If you’re interested in some options please [reach out to our team](/contact/) and we’d be happy to offer up solutions based on what type of event you are producing!

We got invited, along with hundreds of others, to check out [Photojojo](http://www.photojojo.com/)‘s new offices and it was quite the packed soiree. After we arrived we learned that there were lots of folks queued up 30-minutes early to get the goodie bags that were available for early arrivers.
Festivities included getting your Aura read by [Radiant Human](http://www.radianthuman.com/) in a pop-up geodesic dome (which sold out in about seven minutes!), tunes by Allison of [Heart of Gold DJs](https://www.facebook.com/HeartOfGoldDJs) and kaleidoscope glasses for the first ten people (we only saw one young reveler with these). In the past we have posted Photojojo reviews of their products and services and we love what they have been doing since the beginning and are happy for their growth. It was great to hang out with the team and welcome in their new home in such a fun fashion.
P.S. Check out our [review of Disposable Camera](/review-disposable-camera-app-by-photojojo/), their fun photo app!

### [The Power of Photography: Review of "The Salt of the Earth"](https://orangephotography.com/salt-of-the-earth-review/)
**Published:** May 19, 2015
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Recently, some of the Orange Photography crew took a trip to the movies. We ventured out to see the limited release documentary about the work of social photographer [Sabastião Salgado](https://www.ted.com/talks/sebastiao_salgado_the_silent_drama_of_photography) entitled, [“The Salt of the Earth”](http://sonyclassics.com/thesaltoftheearth/). Salgado left his job as and economist in the mid-seventies and became a full-time photographer. He has traveled much of the world and captured many of the social and global issues of the past 40 years.
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/002.jpg)Sahel: The End of the Road- Sabastião Salgado
His work is incredibly powerful and moving; He has a gift when it comes to capturing the human condition. The documentary took viewers through the majority of Salgado’s work ranging from years spent exploring South America, the drought stricken region of Sahel Africa, workers across the world in the industrial age, and his most recent work Genesis, which explores the untouched parts of the world.
The documentary as a whole was very moving. It was a reminder just how powerful photography can be. Unlike painting or drawing, photography has been taken as the truth (even when it isn’t). It’s easy in today’s world of image inundation and extreme retouching, to forget photos can speak an overwhelming truth. Photography can be used to show the masses what *one* person wants them to see or notice. Many of Salgado’s pieces are are difficult to look at because they point to atrocities most of us may be unaware of or hope don’t exist in the world.
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/salgado62.jpg)Workers: An Archaeology of the Industrial Age- Sabastião Salgado
I think remembering the power of photography is important, regardless of what you photograph. Even if it is commercial or event work like we do at Orange, it is still a powerful tool. Imagery communicates. It reminds people of the past, records events they never want to forget (whether it’s for reasons good or bad). It can depict what kind of company you are or who you are as an individual. It is our duty as photographers to remember this responsibility. My photographer professor always used to say “Photography is an act of pointing.” Let’s think about what we choose to point at and make it count.

### [Cast your vote on hottest photo booth trends.](https://orangephotography.com/cast-your-vote-on-hottest-photo-booth-trends/)
**Published:** June 7, 2015
**Author:** jack
**Content:**
Although we have been creating wonderful booth experiences for many clients in the past 10 years, the industry has grown considerably and there are A LOT more options that go beyond the traditional photo booth experience. So, it was no surprise that when i first learn about the inaugural photo booth expo that i was fairly excited to see exactly what are those NEW options were and how other booth operators were using them.
Although our philosophy has been to create the highest quality experience in terms of the final photographic product and onsite experience, we didn’t quite capitalize on some of the trends that was happening in other markets. For example, although Animated GIFS have been around forever and we had done it for small set of clients, the process was cumbersome on site and we didn’t push the concept to many clients. With the maturation of the industry and expo for everyone to see what others are doing, i think the industry will much quicker as we all adopt new trends faster and be able to execute technical booth experiences easier. For example, when we first did our slow mo experience for Comedy Central, we were using a very high end speed camera capable of capturing over 900 FPS. Now, there are much more affordable cameras/software that allow most other booth operators to offer a lower end product of what we’ve been doing for clients. As we adopt some of the new trends into our booth services refresh this month, i wanted to share some of the interesting trends i found here:
- Fotomaster from Israel from some interesting products such as their [Augmented Reality](http://fotomasterltd.net/products/augmented-reality-foto-booth/) and [Mirror Me Selfie](http://fotomasterltd.net/products/mirror-me-booth/)
- Matrix style [bullet time](https://fstoppers.com/originals/flug-bullet-time-photo-booth-wins-over-ppe-2014-43579) time lapse

### [Google Photos App / Quick Review](https://orangephotography.com/google-photos-app-review/)
**Published:** May 29, 2015
**Author:** jack
**Content:**
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/2015-05-29-08.39.08.jpg)Yesterday we covered [Google I/O](https://events.google.com/io2015) and were pretty impressed with some of the announcements they made and of course were intrigued by the [Google Photos](https://photos.google.com/) announcement and the associated features. As you may have heard, it’s got a lot of fun features and if you used photos in Google+ as an app, some of the features will be familiar.
One of the things that got people pretty amped was **unlimited storage**. This is true if you are using your phone for most of your pix, but if you wanna save RAW files then there are still limits, but let’s be honest, this is really a way to organize all the photos you’ve taken on your phone (how many of us have thousands of photos and have to scroll endlessly to find anything?). If your photos are under 16 megapixels then you’re fine and that means all your phone pix, so it is unlimited in that capacity.
One of the features that I like so far is the “***Things***” search option. It’s pretty smart and as you can see in the screen grab, this is just for the photos it’s imported so far (only about 1/3 of the photos on my phone). The dogs thumbnail actually shows a dead coyote, but otherwise it’s pretty accurate without any input from me.
It also has face recognition that seems to work pretty well and helps in finding pix of you and your friends.
Definitely makes it way easier to find things overall and that alone is a great takeaway. I also love the “***Auto Awesome***” animated GIFs it’ll make from burst photos. Here’s a fun one it made just now (and if you want one of our [animated GIF photo booths, book one here](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/services/boothoverview/studiobooth/)):
Check out [Gizmodo’s initial thoughts](http://gizmodo.com/google-photos-hands-on-so-good-im-creeped-out-1707566376) on Google Photos here for another quick perspective.

### [Tips on Licensing Photos and getting the most out of your images](https://orangephotography.com/tips-on-licensing-photos-and-getting-the-most-out-of-your-images/)
**Published:** May 27, 2015
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/11A04931.jpg)Licensing is often a confusing term within photography (and even in other industries). Often times people get thrown a curve when asked about what kind of licensing they require. Many times clients are told they should ask for ‘full rights’ or a ‘buyout’ which may or may not meet your actual needs. The key to licensing and where the value lies is determining what you need and only paying for that.
At Orange Photography, we include a basic licensing agreement with most of our bookings. Typically this will allow you to use the photos for your own marketing purposes and often to post on social media and your website. Of course the actual terms may differ and in this blog entry we’d like to clarify what licenses are available and what they can mean to you.
But back to basics and why licenses exist, in the US, [Copyright](http://www.copyright.gov/) law states that a copyright comes into existence automatically when you capture an original image. The reason for this is to protect creators to further innovation and creation. If everything that someone created (whether it was a painting, movie or music) was immediately available to everyone for free, then those artists could not make a living by creating those works. Hence US Copyright law protects creators to encourage more innovation and creativity.
Any person or business must have permission (a license) from the creator to publish (reproduce) images in any medium, physical or electronic.
A license is how that copyrighted material can be monetized and extended. So getting the right license is key for anyone who hires someone to create something. [PLUS](https://www.useplus.com/), the Picture Licensing Universal System—a cooperative, multi-industry initiative — provides a system that clearly defines and categorizes image usage around the world, from granting and acquiring licenses to tracking and managing them well into the future. We leverage PLUS to make things more clear and offer some of their [PLUS Packs](https://www.useplus.com/useplus/pluspacks.asp) as image licensing options for you.
Ultimately, we can provide whatever you need and will work collaboratively with you to determine what will meet the needs of both your usage and your budget.

### [Orange Photography goes Droning](https://orangephotography.com/orange-drone-photography-droning/)
**Published:** May 13, 2015

In this day and age we’ve all had those moments where we feel like we’ve been dropped into a Science Fiction movie. Filled with virtual realities, self driving cars and robots serving us drinks. Our world mirrors this more and more everyday. Experiencing a drone flight for the first time is truly one of those moments.
Drone technology has been around for many years but has only recently become available to the consumer level where any hobbyist with 1000+ dollars laying around can purchase a full size remote control drone. Packed with 4 propellors that create a sound that falls somewhere between the biggest mosquito you’ve ever seen and a lawnmower, the simplest version of drones available known as the DJI Phantom can still pull quite a lot of power. Also included on the drone is a small camera that suspiciously resembles a GoPro. It sits on a simple Gimbal that somehow does a magnificent job at holding a steady shot whether you’re shooting photo or video. Needless to say with Drones becoming such a hot topic in the tech world as well as the photography world, it was bound to catch our attention.
It is safe to say when we took our drone on a team outing a few weeks ago, once our drone shot 200ft in the air, all of our jaws hit the floor. We were all of sudden in that Sci-Fi movie.
With drones bursting into extreme popularity in the mainstream world, they have been met with both praise and controversy. The FAA has been sure to tamp down the law by applying [strict no fly zones](https://www.mapbox.com/drone/no-fly/) around all airports, national parks and landmarks. Meaning that epic shot of the Golden Gate Bridge that we all want or buzzing one of these things down Market St. just wont happen unless you plan on getting slapped with a hefty fine or worse. People have already been getting made into examples of why these reckless flying laws are in place.
When it comes to drones it is hard to tell what the future holds. It’s hard to tell if the average person will be able to accept a drone delivering their newly purchased items from Amazon or Best Buy. All that we know as both Tech Geeks and Photographers is that using drones has become a great tool to have in our inventory and skills, and that we will continue to use it every chance we get.

### [Orange goes to Oakland First Fridays](https://orangephotography.com/orange-goes-to-oakland-first-fridays/)
**Published:** June 24, 2015
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
On the first friday of June, a few of us from the Orange team took a trip across the bay to [Oakland First Fridays](http://www.oaklandfirstfridays.org/). When I lived in Denver, I went to First Friday on Santa Fe or Tennyson Street almost every month, but I hadn’t explored what the Bay Area had to offer until now. The experience in Oakland was much different than I had in Denver. It seems that First Friday in Oakland has grown into much more than open galleries with some random cheese plates, a bit of wine, and a few food trucks outside. In true Bay Area fashion it has grown into a huge festival-like atmosphere! The streets were packed with people, random street vendor tents, classic cars/low riders, music, and of course food trucks/tents.
I’m disappointed that I didn’t force myself to venture away from the crowded main street and search out some of the galleries. First Friday is always a nice occasion to see what artists in your community are working on and gain a little inspiration for your own work. I didn’t get that from this adventure, but nonetheless, it was a nice night out with the team. Instead of art on a gallery wall, we got to take in the people around us while enjoying some beer and food.
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/IMG_1110.jpg)
We stopped for a few beers at [Telegraph Beer Garden](http://telegraphoakland.com/) . . .

Tried to eat some crazy fries made out of entire spiraled potatoes and drenched in cheese . . .
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/IMG_1096.jpg)
And enjoyed the overall scene around us.
Hopefully the next First Friday adventure will contain more art, but for now, I think our first (at least my first experience) was a success.

### [Hog Island Oyster Farm tour](https://orangephotography.com/hog-island-oyster-farm-tour/)
**Published:** June 16, 2015
**Author:** jack
**Content:**
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/genex2015_0289f.jpg)Recently we returned to [Hog Island Oyster Co.](https://hogislandoysters.com/) up in Marshall, CA on the beautiful Northern California coast. It was a super foggy day unlike the sunny hot days we’ve hit them up in the past but this time we got the official tour and it was really sweet.
A few of these shots were taken in the same style as what is on the Hog Island website as a sort of homage to the images (and to keep us sharp on our toes!)
**[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/genex2015_0279f.jpg)What we learned:**
– In the wild, only about 1/10th of 1% of oyster spawn survive because they have to fight to stay alive amongst everything else in the sea that likes to gobble them up. As the oysters are now bred in oyster farms, at Hog Island they get about 75-80% of the spawn to live.
– As mentioned, oyster farmers grow the oysters and as such they are [true farmers](http://hogislandoysters.com/oysters/farming), visualizing what they want to be the final product and working to make sure that happens by creating the right environment for that to occur. The process is quite fascinating.
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/genex2015_0280f.jpg)– After female oysters shoot out the eggs and male oysters shoot out their sperm the fertilized oysters will attach to calcium carbonate (which is what the shells are made of). In the wild there are reefs of oysters that grow but in the oyster hatcheries they can grind up the shells to make small flecks that these infant oysters will attach to and grow from.
– These young oysters are put in round tubular pens where they are tumbled by the wind and waves falling over each other, which chips off the outer shells. This stress makes the oysters create a harder shell (better for shucking!) and the oysters will create a deeper pocket in their shells, which equals more meat!
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/genex2015_0284f.jpg)– Additionally, these pens can be in and out of the water. The oysters can experience anything from 20 to 100 degrees (F) in the same day and yet this variance is easy for them to tolerate. It does however make them heartier and when they are out of the water, they will clamp shut which strengthens their muscles which makes them taste even better.
– Hog Island harvest and ships out over 80,000 oysters per week and [most are consumed locally in San Francisco Bay Area](http://hogislandoysters.com/partners#partners_list).[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/genex2015_0292f.jpg)

**Content:**
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/8584_GoogleIONitecap_0062f.jpg)Getting new ideas for your next event can be a pain when everything seems too trendy but there are some go-tos that may not seem super sexy at first thought, but are really fun and keep your attendees engaged. One such option is having a [professional billiards player](http://sidepocketshot.com/) to teach/show tricks at your next event. We saw this work to great effect at a recent event at [Jillian’s](http://www.jillianssf.com/) which is conveniently located just across from [Moscone Center](http://www.moscone.com/).
[Billy “The Kid” Aguero](http://sidepocketshot.com/) was the pro on hand and he was great at setting up incredible shots. One example was this football-themed shot where the 12-ball was the Running Back and the two rows of four balls below were the two teams linemen. The paper bag was a linebacker. I would prefer the 12 to be #34 from Oakland years ago – Bo Jackson – and the bag to be The Boz. You’ll see what happens in the video below:
Billy was able to set up complex shots for individuals who mostly were able to hit them which was pretty cool to see.

### [Inspirational reading for photographers: Brené Brown and Austin Kleon](https://orangephotography.com/inspirational-reading-for-photographers-brene-brown-and-austin-kleon/)
**Published:** July 7, 2015
**Author:** jack
**Content:**
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/books.jpg)Inspiration is something every creative we know has struggled with from time to time. We’re the same and find it valuable to get out of the photography world and seek inspiration in various facets of our lives. Whether it’s seeing a movie, going to a gallery opening or the ballet to reading a book.
Recently I saw my photographer friend [Helena Price](http://www.helenaprice.com/) post about some books she found valuable and among them was Brené Brown who’s TED Talk we’ve all likely seen (if not, [go watch it now](https://www.ted.com/talks/brene_brown_on_vulnerability?language=en)!)
I decided to pick up [Daring Greatly: How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead](http://www.powells.com/partner/43989/biblio/9781592407330?p_tx "More info about this book at powells.com") and [Show Your Work!: 10 Ways to Share Your Creativity and Get Discovered](http://www.powells.com/partner/43989/biblio/9780761178972?p_ti "More info about this book at powells.com") by Austin Kleon. One common theme in both books was vulnerability and it rang true. As creatives, we know that when we put our work out there it makes us vulnerable but it also can make us and our work stronger. It’s a simple concept but something that we often forget. People ultimately like to connect and when you share and are vulnerable, people can connect and appreciate that.
Some other inspirational reading for photographers can be found elsewhere on [our blog archives through the “review” tag](/tag/reviews/).

### [Planner Perspective: "I Love Working With You!"](https://orangephotography.com/event-planner-work-with-vendors/)
**Published:** July 21, 2015
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/7809_GiovandoWatts_0042WEB.jpg)This guest blog comes to us from Lucy Giovando Watts, CMP, CMM and Founder & CEO, [Giovando Watts & Company, Inc.](http://www.giovandowatts.com/) We asked her to provide some insight on how vendors can best work with planners and she had a bunch of fantastic information to share, so read on!
I have a great group of vendors at my fingertips. I really do! It is actually one of my top selling points that I pitch to all of my new clients. These are trusted and vetted companies that have provided great service and excellent pricing over the years. Plus…they are just fun to work with!
Don’t you love working with a great vendor? I look forward to our brainstorming calls, seeing them onsite at my events and getting the final bill. That’s right…even the final bill. Because I know that the final bill will be easy and transparent with no unexpected surprises.
But, how does a seasoned meeting and event planner like myself deem a business to be a great vendor?
How can companies that provide products and services in the hospitality industry collaborate better with planners and grow their businesses? Working with and selling to planners is not rocket science, but many vendors are doing it well and many are not. So, below are a few tips and tricks that I would like to share to help you gain long-term, great clients.
**Thank you, Thank you!:** We all want to work with vendors that are grateful to have our business. But how many companies actually tell you how thankful they are to work with you? I remember managing a bid for a shipping company for an international trade show for one of my clients. We narrowed down the bids to two vendors and both companies provided comparable pricing and excellent service. But, there was one difference that set the two apart: on the phone interview, one of the vendors said that they would love to work with us and would be grateful for the opportunity. As you can probably guess, the other vendor said nothing like this on their call. It was a simple act of voicing their gratitude for potential business that ultimately got that grateful vendor the job.
**Best Client Ever:** How do you keep planners as long-term clients? The secret is to make us feel as if we are your biggest and best client ever. Returning emails and phone calls in a timely matter goes without saying. But, more importantly is not oversharing what you are doing for other clients. Working with a vendor out of Chicago a few years back, I realized how vital it is to keep clients feeling important. The vendor I was working with was swamped with another program. Instead of responding to my emails with an estimated time of when she would have the information I requested, she would elaborate about the other big program that she was working on and how much work it was for her. Although I understand that I was not their only client, the vendor’s oversharing made me feel that my program was not important to them. And no one wants to ever feel unimportant.
**Relationships, Relationships, Relationships:** In real estate and events, it is all about location, location, location. But with clients, the key is relationships, relationships, relationships. The fact of the matter is that planners want to work with people who they like. Period. All of the great businesses that I have worked with and more importantly, still work with, are ran by people who I like. They are honest, reliable and fun individuals who have become part of my extended team when I am managing a program for a client. They understand that we are all in this together and an event is only as good as all of its moving parts.
**Call Me, Maybe?:** Building these type of relationships does take time, energy and lots of patience. By attending hospitality events and volunteering on industry committees, these relationships will naturally start forming. But, the key is to keep up these relationships by reaching out to the planners via email and calls when it makes sense. And that is the kicker…when it makes sense. A budding relationship can quickly go sour if you reach out without a real reason other than to sell your company. You will go much farther by committing to those volunteer activities and forming true relationships with planners than sending random emails and phone calls.
Truthfully, your company will naturally sell itself by your actions. It is really important to be yourself and enjoy what you do. That is not only the key in working with planners, but in life itself!

### [Orange visits the Exploratorium After Dark](https://orangephotography.com/orange-visits-the-exploratorium-after-dark/)

[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/07.02.15-OrangeatExploratorium-303.jpg)
A few weeks ago, Orange ventured to [After Dark](http://www.exploratorium.edu/visit/calendar/after-dark) at the Exploratorium. [The Exploratorium](http://www.exploratorium.edu/) is an awesome San Francisco museum where physics, social, and even a few biological experiments all live together under one roof. During the day, it hosts school groups, tourists, and families, but the After Dark program on Thursday nights, allows adults to come out and play. It’s great, because you can let out your inner child, without disrupting actual children.
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/07.02.15-OrangeatExploratorium-353.jpg)[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/07.02.15-OrangeatExploratorium-353.jpg)We made our way around, trying some of the experiments and learning new things. The Exploratorium is somewhere you think “I didn’t know that was how that worked.” or “I’ve never thought about that before” every few minutes. Considering physics is the only class I ever dropped in school, I can’t help but think if I would have been more interested if I had somewhere like the Exploratorium to learn. Either way, I find the social experiments the most fascinating part of the museum. We tried one where we picked a new name for ourselves. Simple in nature, but it really made us think about what our names mean, how we see ourselves, and even how we would like others to see us. This can all be communicated through our name.[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/07.02.15-OrangeatExploratorium-154.jpg)
The[ theme of the night was RGB](http://www.exploratorium.edu/visit/calendar/after-dark/july-2015), and as we are all photographers and artists, we have a pretty solid understanding of how that light spectrum works. We listened to a bit of the presentation and then enjoyed the rooftop observatory. The night we were there, the fog (Karl as some call him), gave us a unique view of the Bay Bridge.

Overall, it was a nice night out, and we appreciate the Exploratorium having us as their guests. It never hurts to have a couple beers and learn some new things!

Last week we were very excited to be on hand for [Project Pinball](http://www.projectpinball.org/) dedicating a [Stern Star Trek Pro Pinball](http://www.sternpinball.com/games/star-trek/pro) machine in the lounge at [UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital](https://www.ucsfbenioffchildrens.org/). Orange Photography had photographed and organized several events to raise funds to get the machine including the last event, a tournament at Pizza Depot in Sunnyvale ahead of [California Extreme](http://www.caextreme.org/) that helped to raise the money to get the pinball machine.
The photo above shows the first game played on the new game. Watching over is a teacher from the hospital, Andrei Massenkoff. Massenkoff is also a [pinball world champion having won PAPA 14](http://papa.org/2014/09/05/article-on-papa-14-champ-andrei-massenkoff/) and gave tips to the students who will get a chance to enjoy the game in the lounge.

### [The Worth of a Man: Dave Dravecky](https://orangephotography.com/the-worth-of-a-man-dave-dravecky/)
**Published:** August 20, 2015
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/8710_MPINCC_0093f.jpg)Sometimes you need to be reminded how much just being alive is something to appreciate. Yesterday at the [MPINCC](http://www.mpincc.org/) Professional Education Program held at the [Westin San Francisco Airport](http://www.westinsanfranciscoairport.com/), former Major League Baseball Pitching Great and San Francisco Giant [Dave Dravecky](http://www.davedravecky.com/) spoke about his experience in a presentation entitled *The Worth of a Man.*
For those that aren’t familiar with Dravecky’s story, he was a pitcher for the Giants in the late 80s (when I first became a Giants fan!), and was a dominant lefty who got cancer in his throwing arm and then beat it to come back.
However, after his comeback he endured a terrible injury snapping his throwing arm in two while pitching against the Montreal Expos. In his own words: “After my comeback and fall from the mound, the cancer returned, yet again. The arm refused to get better so I decided to retire from my dream, the game of baseball, in November of 1989. Finally, the arm along with my shoulder blade and the left side of my collarbone had to be amputated for fear the cancer would spread and take my life. Little did I know that the loss of my childhood dream would become a platform to share hope with the suffering around the world.”
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/8710_MPINCC_0074.jpg)The actual ball that Dravecky threw when his arm snapped, ending his MLB career.
“The challenges I’ve faced in the years following have taught me volumes and I now travel the country sharing the lessons I’ve learned—lessons on how to navigate loss and suffering, and how to experience encouragement and hope. More recently I’ve been exploring how we define our true worth, learning that it’s not what you do that matters most—it’s who you are. The experiences of my life have drawn me to discover and share about the value and significance of relationships—relationships with co-workers, family members and anyone else on ‘my team.’ My personal experiences have also taught me to evaluate life—challenging myself as well as others to press on towards our future goals.”
His story was really moving and as a Giants fan it was great to see how the organization is still a family to him, and now he is now sharing his experiences speaking across the country. Dravecky is an excellent speaker and a humble man who’s passion for life is infectious. Sometimes all you need is a little inspiration from those who have been on the edge of despair to help you appreciate what you have. Thanks Dave!

### [Collecting Snapshots](https://orangephotography.com/collecting-snapshots/)
**Published:** September 15, 2015
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
In our image filled world, I think photography is something we take for granted. At any given time, all of us have a camera in our possession (at least we do if we have a cell phone on us). We are used to taking pictures whenever we want, so we forget that photographs were, at one time, much more rare. Why have I been thinking about this lately? Because of a book series I’ve been reading. A guilty pleasure of mine is young adult fiction (as a mid-twenty year old) lately I’ve been reading [“Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children”](http://www.amazon.com/Miss-Peregrines-Home-Peculiar-Children/dp/1594746036). This series of books jumped on the Harry Potter bandwagon as another fantasy/adventure story about a group of children with peculiar powers. They are actually pretty awesome, but what makes them unique- and a bit relevant to being a photographer- is the use of old photographs to propel the story.
The author [Ransom Riggs](http://www.ransomriggs.com/photos.php) has collected an assortment of photographs (many with early darkroom and film tricks applied to them) to illustrate the novels. He uses these images to inspire the descriptions of his characters and the places they are visiting.
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/missperegrine_334x518.jpg)
Before reading these books, I had started a collection of my own found photographs. My collection started with some old family photographs I found at my grandparent’s house then progressed to images I found in antique store bins. I was intrigued by some of the seemingly insignificant shots, because I had a feeling that while they looked unimportant to me, that they meant a great deal to someone at one time. There are weird little trends I started seeing, for instance, people photographing themselves in front of bushes and trees.
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/FoundPhotos_0001.jpg) [](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/FoundPhotos_0002.jpg)[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/FoundPhotos.jpg)
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/FoundPhotos_00012.jpg)
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/FoundPhotos_00022.jpg)
I love that these are three different families and they all chose to take essentially the same photograph. Another thing I find interesting about found photographs are the little notes written on the back.
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/FoundPhotos_00032.jpg) [](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/FoundPhotos_00041.jpg)
“Isn’t this one a scream?” is on the back of this oddly composed image. It leads to so many questions. Why was it composed like that? What was so funny about that day or situation? The last thing I enjoy about old photographs, is seeing the shadow of the photographer in the image. In some ways it is a little eerie, but in other ways it’s a reminder there is someone else part of the moment we are seeing, not just the people being photographed.
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/FoundPhotos_0006.jpg)
Overall, it’s nice to look back on the treasured snapshots and take a moment to think about what we chose to photograph day to day. We are so accustomed to seeing images we take immediately while being able to photograph whenever we want, that we can forget it wasn’t always that way. Maybe we can work a bit more on leaving some physical images behind for generations to come?

I think most people can say, they spend a huge amount of time at a desk, in front of their computer. Even the photographers in our company spend a good amount of time in the office, editing images, checking email, and working on other projects. They don’t always get to be on site photographing. A couple weeks ago, our team (or most of us) took a weekend away from it all; We ventured out to Lotus, California and the banks of the American River for our annual company retreat.
We spent the weekend in an [AirBnB](http://www.airbnb.com/c/ghwang1?s=8) circa 1960. It was a comfortable place, but literally everything in the house had not been changed or updated for at least 40 years (or more), including a teal Vidal Sassoon hair dryer I wish I had photographed. After a amazing dinner of Chicken Adobo courtesy of Kat, we spent the evening playing cards and hanging out.
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/CompanyOuting2015-1.jpg)
The next morning we packed up and headed out to the river. We spent four hours floating down the South Fork of the American River – with a few rapids thrown in of course. The best part was being able to get out and swim in the calm parts of the river. That night, we grilled up some food and ate under the stars and nearly full moon (something we miss living in the city). After dinner, we answered the age old question, “If a bunch of photographers are lost in the woods with no one to hear them, do they still take pictures?”. The answer is yes, we do an impromptu, full moon photo shoot, on the river with cell phones and camping lights as additional lighting.

### [Flightcar Review](https://orangephotography.com/flightcar-reviews/)
**Published:** August 26, 2015
**Author:** jack

[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/flightcar.jpg)Recently I traveled for a shoot in Texas and needed a car. [FlightCar](https://flightcar.com/r/KZPB) popped up as an option and it is like the “[AirBnB](https://www.airbnb.com/) of your parked car at airports” from the looks of it.
The rates were great and it was super easy to book so it was all up to the actual experience and I wanted to share how it went. We’ve been seeing a lot of the sharing economy and this business model made a lot of sense since if you are traveling and park at the airport you are just paying to park your car and it sits there – why not rent it out while you are away and earn some revenue with it?
In the photography world we have things like [Borrowlenses.com](http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?B=604259&U=1045914&M=12808&urllink=) which we use when we have shoots out of town and they are great, but I don’t see individuals loaning out their equipment in a sharing economy manner as something that would happen. We do offer gear to our Associate photographers to use as a perk but haven’t monetized it (or wanted to in a specific manner) but the sharing economy has made for some interesting business models that are worth considering.
Flightcar had launched an app so I used it when I landed at AUS and it had an option for a pickup. I wasn’t able to figure out where to catch the shuttle so instead took a cab over which they said they’d reimburse for, and arrived at the location where they are setup at a nearby hotel. When I arrived though no one was present (middle photo above) so I had to wait until they showed up (photo at right). Turns out the guy who was manning the kiosk had a car break down on him so it took forever and was a little bit of a buzz kill. He was profusely apologetic but they might need to staff more than one person although it seemed like the Austin location wasn’t a booming one (I suspect SFO is larger?).
He had picked out a large Cadillac for me but since I didn’t want to use up so much fuel I asked for a smaller car and they obliged (the rate was already locked in earlier when I booked). The car I got turned out being a bit beat up but partly that could have been my fault for asking for a different vehicle, but then again these are people’s cars and not strictly a rental fleet. The drivers side window didn’t roll down confidently so I almost didn’t want to use it much. I’m not sure how they vet the actual vehicles in the fleet but they may wanna do more testing/audits of the cars as it also made a scraping sound when you turned to one side.
That being said, I really like the idea of Flightcar. I told some compatriots at the shoot about Flightcar and they were intrigued. I think if they can have their locations staffed well and vet their vehicles well that it can really take off. I’m not sure how the insurance situation works if something actually happens and if they have any sort of roadside assistance, but then again, I’ve never used most of those services in the nearly 20 years I’ve been renting cars.

[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/8784_BurningMan2015_0044.jpg)Burning Man 2015 – Black Rock City, USA
Taking time off for holidays is something we all enjoy and at Orange, [Labor Day](http://www.dol.gov/laborday/history.htm) has always been a significant holiday since it’s a big weekend for weddings and really helps to kick off the fall season while also it’s the ending of [Burning Man](http://burningman.org/).
The three of us who started Orange have all been to Burning Man since the 1990s and although we had to take time off during the midst of the early years of Orange Photography, we still make it out from time to time. This year I went back for the fourth year in a row but for me the thing I most treasure is unplugging from the world for that week.
The conversations and experiences are much more interesting to me, and when the inevitable questions come up as to what was most memorable about ‘the Burn’, this year it was really just the interactions with the people I met out on the playa. The more random and serendipitous it was, the more intriguing it was.
The photo above is one such example. I had wanted to find a good time to photograph the [Medusa Madness](http://burningman.org/event/brc/2015-art-installations/#MedusaMadness) piece near Center Camp by [Kevin Clark](http://www.positivelypetaluma.com/tag/medusa-madness/) of Petaluma (I didn’t know it was he who created it at the time) and had been riding about with my cameras for only the second time all week. I had noticed a woman riding near me and wanted to grab a shot of her but the timing and angles were wrong so I instead rode up to the Medusa piece to check out the progress on it.
The woman I had seen earlier rolled up beside me as I was unzipping my Camelbak to get out my camera and said it was her friend who did the piece. We ended up chatting for a while about all kinds of things and then I asked to snap a shot of her with the installation. I really liked how it came out and the interaction we had before the photo is what makes it memorable for myself. There’s always so much amazing art and performances out there but the personal experiences and memories are what I treasure the most.

### [Orange Runs Ragnar](https://orangephotography.com/ragnar-napa-photos/)
**Published:** November 18, 2015
**Author:** gene x

Imagine this: 12 people, two vans, six people in each van, all working together to run about 200 miles in two days. This is Ragnar Relay in a nutshell. A few weeks ago, part of the Orange team (along with some brave runners who don’t work with us) took on the [Napa Valley Ragnar Relay](https://www.ragnarrelay.com/race/napavalley). In all honesty, this race couldn’t have come at a worse time. The weekend it happened, was basically the start of our busy season and many of us on the team were so caught up with work the weeks leading up to the race, we didn’t have much time to plan for what was ahead of us.
Our running adventure started Friday morning with the van we rented being unavailable. This made us late to the first exchange point, meaning our runner missed the exchange and someone from the first van had to run it for her.
We quickly rushed to the next exchange point so that we could at least get back on track. I was runner seven, so I quickly slathered on some sunscreen, put on my running shoes, and got my music ready, while we drove to the next exchange point. From here, I basically jumped out of the car, grabbed the baton from my team mate and started a seven mile run in the midday heat. Needless to say, it wasn’t one of my best runs, but I made it through and better yet, van two was back on track.
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/DSF6715.jpg)
After our rocky start, things started to go a bit smoother. We each successfully ran our first legs and got to see the sunset in the beautiful Napa Valley area. When we passed the baton back to van one, we had a bit of time to rest, shower, and eat, but before we knew it, it was 12am and we were due back on the course.
Due to some misreading of the map and lack of sleep, we dropped our runner Alex off at the wrong exchange point and had to make a correction from there, but she was awesome and powered through her late night/early morning 6 mile run.
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/DSF6786.jpg)
While our journey was far from smooth sailing, the Ragnar adventure was something very unique. We all pushed our bodies to the limit. Running on little to no sleep, in the heat of the day (for Jack as far as 12 miles in 90 degrees), then in the cold of the early morning, not to mention three times in a row is pretty close to insanity.
That being said, we all came out of it different people, we were all a bit closer and had a feeling of accomplishment. I think we would all agree, if we did it again, we would do many things differently . . . but it doesn’t mean we wouldn’t do it again.

Undoubtably you may have noticed that at Orange we have taken a liking to pinball with the machines in the studio and with the work we’ve done supporting [Project Pinball](http://www.projectpinball.org/) and other pinball related charities. This week two of us were on hand at Pinball Expo and get a VIP tour of the [Stern Pinball](http://www.sternpinball.com/) factory as a kick off to the annual trade show and expo.
Below are some photos of the Game of Thrones pinball release party as well as the Flip Off PAPA Circuit tournament and shots around the event as a whole ([view the full gallery here](http://store.orangephotography.com/p783449493)). Surprisingly enough I was able to make my best placing ever and ended up tied in 5th playing with some of the world’s top players!
And if you are in the San Francisco Bay Area, the [Game of Thrones pinball launch party](https://orangenex.wordpress.com/battle-for-the-iron-throne-pinball-series-2015/) is this coming [Sunday Oct 25th at 2:00pm at Gestalt](https://www.facebook.com/events/505617799593295/)!

### [Lomo Instant Wide camera review](https://orangephotography.com/lomo-instant-wide-camera-review/)
**Published:** December 23, 2015
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Mostly during the holiday season we’ve been busy photographing holiday parties for others and setting up fun photo booths but we also received a gift of our own, the Lomo’Instant Wide. This [Lomo Instant Wide camera](http://microsites.lomography.com/lomo-instant-wide-camera/) review is a quick one for those thinking about it as a gift for your photographer friends and is based on our week with it so far!
We [reviewed the Lomo’Instant a while ago](/lomo-instant-review/) and were thrilled when we heard about the Wide since the photos are much larger than the Instax Mini format. That being said the first thing you notice when you unbox the Lomo’Instant Wide camera is how large it is! And carrying it around you get that same kind of response from others. It reminded me of the [Fuji 6×9 camera](http://www.antiquecameras.net/fuji6x76x9.html) in how much larger than a DSLR that it is but it’s kinda neat that way.
One of the best things aside from the format and size of the prints is the creative options the camera has. The controls are also more intuitive than on the Lomo’Instant Mini and since the camera is so large, it’s got more room for all the buttons etc. The remote control is also a neat feature which lets you easily set up group shots with yourself in them, and of course the Wide also has the selfie mirror on the front too.
The MX button for multiple exposures is a fun way to play with it and the Wide also came with a neat ‘filter’ called a Splitzer which lets you take multiple exposures and covers up part of the frame so you can “slice and dice your multiple exposure photos.”
One challenge we saw was that for backlit shots, even setting the exposure compensation to +1 could yield underexposed photos so the camera does come with a PC sync cord port so you can attach an external flash. Or we just used a slave flash and it fixed the shots (depending on which type of external flash you use, you’ll have to experiment with power output/angle, etc.)
We hope this Lomo Instant Wide camera review was useful – we’ll likely do a more in-depth one once we’ve spent more time with it but wanted to get this posted before Christmas.

### [Hands on with the Mint Instaflex TL70 Review](https://orangephotography.com/hands-on-with-the-mint-instaflex-tl70-review/)
**Published:** November 23, 2015
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/genex2015_0323.jpg)
We just got the [Mint Instaflex TL70](https://www.mint-camera.com/tl70) a couple weeks ago and were super excited to try it out so here’s a few initial thoughts on the camera. In case you aren’t familiar with it, the TL70 is a twin lens reflex instant camera that takes Instax mini type film. It looks retro but has modern features like an integrated flash even.
First impressions were that the packaging was nice and setup was pretty darn easy. The camera itself feels lighter than other TLRs we’ve used, so it does feel a bit less substantial from that perspective. We loaded it up with the instax though and took it out in the daytime as well as the night to get a feel for the TL70.
One of the challenges is focusing since the viewfinder isn’t super bright. Even during the day you might need to pop down the magnifier to get a better look to make sure you’re getting a crisp shot. Also, since the viewfinder is a square, you have to take that into account when you compose since the film is rectangular in aspect ratio.
Another thing to note is that this is not a good low light camera for candids. It’s hard to focus in the dark and although the snaps it takes turn out well, it’s just too darn hard to focus without using additional lighting (flashlight from your phone can work well) to be able to see what you are shooting and to dial in the focus. Of course you can kind of rangefinder it too as I did on the shot below.
You can also set it to ‘Bulb’ and do exposures up to 10 seconds which is cool when it’s dark. This shot below was of my friends playing pool and shot with about a 3-second exposure:
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/genex2015_0329.jpg)3-second exposure at Mission Bar
One of the coolest things is doing multiple exposures with the TL70. You can shoot as many as you want, and the guidance in the booklet suggests using the EV slider to -1 for these and the first one I tried out came out well (below).
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/genex2015_0324.jpg)Double Exposure with the TL70
Overall I’d say the TL70 is best to use in decent light but since the Instax film is 800 speed it can be a bit fast to shoot wide open at 5.6. Not sure what the fastest shutter speed is on it but will be trying it out more in various lighting conditions to see how it does! These last shots were taken outside the studio in the sunny Dogpatch in shade or backlit…[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/genex2015_0328.jpg)

Arcade Expo 2.0 and INDISC 2016 – Banning, CA, USA
This past weekend was [Arcade Expo 2.0](http://www.arcadeexpo.com/) and we made the jaunt down to Banning, CA to check it out as well as compete in the [It Never Drains in Southern California](http://neverdrains.com/) PAPA Circuit Tournament.
This was the second year for this show and it was again well attended and seemed to have healthy growth with more vendors, a fantastic tournament and many more working games than a year ago.
There were all sorts of rare machines and the most impressive thing was that it was largely the collection of one man, John Weeks. This year also saw the debut of the campgrounds which are on site and were integrated with the Starcade, an outdoor arcade comprised of pinball machines and arcade cabinets out under the stars!
One of the Starcade sections (there were three areas of pinball and video games)
Some of the other notables from the weekend included the debut of the home brew [Archer](http://www.fxnetworks.com/shows/archer/episodes) pinball machine (designed by brothers [Keith](http://www.ifpapinball.com/player.php?p=1) and [Randy Elwin](http://www.ifpapinball.com/player.php?p=8005) and [Mark Guidarelli](https://twitter.com/mcguidarelli)), playing Robot Wars, TX Sector, Spirit and a ton of other rare games, and the ‘adult’ room with Sopranos, Sexy Girl and Big Bang Bar. There were even two Joust pinball machines side-by-side and a Varkon nearby.
Archer pinball makes its debut!
The Bay Area represented well in the INDISC tournament too but the top honor went to defending champion Keith Elwin. One of the best things about the tournament was the uncommon machines in the tournament bank. Torpedo Alley was probably the most obscure for many of us, but I really enjoyed learning how to play Hoops and Laser War as well as learning the rules to Twister. Watching some of the best pinball players in the world was inspiring too and makes me want to keep developing my skills since I was unable to crack the B Finals.

### [Instant Photography](https://orangephotography.com/instant-photography/)
**Published:** March 3, 2016
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
For Christmas, my parents got me a bit of “light” reading, [Andy Warhol Polaroids 1958-1987](http://www.amazon.com/Andy-Warhol-Polaroids-Richard-Woodward/dp/383655156X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1457029221&sr=8-1&keywords=andy+warhol+polaroids) by Richard Woodward. Okay, so there isn’t much text, but this behemoth of a coffee table book weighs about five pounds and opens to full page spreads of nothing other than Polaroids. I have noticed that despite the fact Polaroid no longer exists, it is really making a comeback. Whether it is people bringing old Polaroid cameras back to life with the help of the [Impossible Project](https://shop.the-impossible-project.com/shop/?gclid=CNazjP-RpcsCFYpbfgodxpkMGA) or people embracing the new [Fujifilm Instax cameras](http://www.fujifilm.com/products/instant_photo/cameras/), I’m seeing instant photos everywhere.
As a company, we’ve definitely enjoyed playing with a variety of instant cameras, thanks to Gene and his collection. Our office fridge and bathroom door are plastered in Polaroid and Instax images. What is it about these images and cameras that is so appealing and fun?
The introduction to [*Andy Warhol Polaroids*](http://www.powells.com/book/andy-warhol-9783836551564/62-0) had some interesting things to say about instant photography. Today we are all spoiled by how quickly we can see any photo we take. We can glance at the back of our DSLR or pull out our phone to capture and then immediately see anything we decide to photograph. This wasn’t always that case, the days of film prevented this “instant” gratification. Woodward talks about Andy’s experimentation with the instant medium when it first arrived on the photographic scene.
“
[Instant film] gave him ready made boarders that he could play with or against it if he chose. . . so many artistic decisions about making a portrait had already been made by the camera that he could concentrate on the ones that had not.” I really love this way of thinking about photography. As someone who studied photography and who works around professional photographers, it is sometimes easy to forget that photography should be fun. It doesn’t always have to be an obligation. It doesn’t always have to be work. As a photographer there can be a underlying pressure to always make good photographs, but having something simple and rudimentary, like an instant camera, takes away that pressure. The image is what it is, there isn’t much you can do to control the outcome.

### [It's San Francisco Beer Week - what are you drinking? Pinball and Pints?](https://orangephotography.com/san-francisco-beer-week-pinball-and-pints/)

San Francisco Beer Week 2016: Pinball & Pints – Pacific Pinball Museum, Alameda, CA, USA
While it’s been a crazy year so far, it gets even crazier every year when [San Francisco Beer Week](http://www.sfbeerweek.org/) (SFBW) comes around and because [Super Bowl 50](http://www.sfbaysuperbowl.com/) is in the Bay Area this year, SFBW had to be moved up and is upon us now!
On Sunday night we were on hand at both [Sour Sunday](http://www.soursunday.com/) and Pinball and Pints while an Orange Photography alumnus, Natalie Jenks, had a show of her work at [The Good Hop](http://thegoodhop.com/) in Oakland.
Below are a few more shots from [Pinball and Pints](http://pacificpinball.org/events/more-pinball-and-pints-january-24th-38pm) which was held at the [Pacific Pinball Museum](http://pacificpinball.org/), one of the more unique events during Beer Week and also was a fundraiser to support the programs of the museum, which is a non-profit organization.
The event has grown from eight brewers in 2015, to 14 this year and samples of over 25 different beers were available. Event organizer and Founder of [Comrades Brewing](http://comradesbrewing.com/), Jason Beck, said, “What’s unique about the events at the Museum is that, since it’s a non-profit, we can pour beer from nano-breweries alongside beer from larger established breweries. We get to feature some unique, unreleased beers along with well-known favorites.”
Under-construction breweries such as [Method Brewing](http://methodbrewing.com/), [Ferment Drink Repeat](https://www.facebook.com/fermentdrinkrepeat?_rdr=p), and Laughing Monk Brewing from San Francisco were in attendance, along with nano-brewers Comrades Brewing and [Grisette Nouveaux](http://grisettenouveaux.com/). Established breweries from both sides of the bay were represented with [Ale Industries](http://www.aleindustries.com/), [Faction Brewing](http://factionbrewing.com/), [Speakeasy](http://www.goodbeer.com/), [Cleophus Quealy Beer Company](http://www.cleoph.us/) and others pouring beer.

⛳ What’s more Presidential than golf? We took the team to check out Urban Putt last night on President’s Day to take up the sport in a very San Francisco way. The best scores ended up being a 34 but we all had a blast knocking the ball through the Transamerica Pyramid windmill and other variations on San Francisco.
If you haven’t been before, there are some pretty neat holes including a video game/virtual reality hole, a head-to-head maze hole and many Rube Goldberg-esque contraptions. They also have a selection of craft beers and cocktails to choose from and surprisingly, we have team members who hadn’t done a pickle back before so we had to do a round before teeing off!     ⛳

Over this past weekend, Orange Photography had the pleasure of doing our part in the fight against cancer. Over the past couple months we’ve been raising money and planning our participation in the [San Leandro Relay for Life.](http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR?sid=128433&type=fr_informational&pg=informational&fr_id=74297)
If you aren’t familiar with [Relay for Life](http://relay.acsevents.org/site/PageServer/?pagename=relay_learn_whatisrelay), it is a 24-hour event that usually takes place on a track. Teams raise money leading up to and during the event to donate to the [American Cancer Society](http://www.cancer.org/index?_ga=1.266019976.642161791.1460759677). On the day of the “race” teams take turns walking, running, skipping, etc. around the track. The idea is to have someone from your team walking the track at all times to represent the constant fight against cancer.
We set up a small [photobooth](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/services/booth-experiences/) to raise some money on-site and all took our turns, running and walking around the track. Overall, it was a great day to be outside as a team and support a cause that we all care deeply about. Many of us on the team have been affected by cancer on a deeply personal level. We have all lost someone to cancer, but we also know some amazing survivors, our own [Ryan](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/aboutus/team/ryan-soule/) being one of those survivors!
Overall, we were happy to support an organization that not only puts money towards cancer research, but also helps those who are in the midst of battling the disease, as well as funds preventative programs. Also, we got a bit of a workout while doing it!
Also, a HUGE Thank You to our friends and family who donated to help us reach our fundraising goal!

### [Impossible I-1 Review](https://orangephotography.com/impossible-1-review/)
**Published:** June 20, 2016
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
The new [Impossible I-1](https://us.impossible-project.com/collections/impossible-i-type/products/impossible-i1-instant-analog-camera?variant=18469744321) is the first instant camera developed by [Impossible Project](https://us.impossible-project.com/) and has some really neat features including an app that you can control it from for added creative features. I ordered one as soon as possible which was a day before it was available to the general public, having been a supporter of Impossible since the early days (as a Pioneer).
The packaging it arrives in is pretty nicely designed and the camera has just the right heft. It doesn’t feel as light as I anticipated, looking at it just in photos before actually receiving it.
The nice thing is that it now uses film specifically formulated for it ([I-type](https://us.impossible-project.com/collections/film-for-impossible-i-type-cameras)) which also means that the camera and film were designed hand in hand so the rollers work smoothly to insure the developer gets smushed evenly across the image area. (You can also shoot the ‘regular’ pack film that Impossible sells.)
The shutter button is a bit sensitive and I snapped a photo of myself as I fiddled with it to check the status of the film (you can half press the shutter to see how many shots are left, battery power, etc.) I heard on the [Instant Photo Show podcast](http://www.pdexposures.com/category/instant-photo-show/) that one of the hosts did the same thing and also took an inadvertent selfie in the same manner 🙂
The viewfinder has a system to use to make sure you frame your shots well and I found that it works pretty well for images that are about three feet and further away. When it’s darker it’s a bit hard to see what is in frame though. And the battery life seems a bit short. I think in the manual it says what to expect, but I found in real life usage I almost wanted to charge it up fully before every pack I shot. I wonder if you use any of the film that has it’s own batteries if that affects the battery life on the I-1 or not…
The flash is a ring flash surrounding the lens so it’s great for shadowless portraits. Since the lights are LEDs they are quite powerful and put out a good amount of light. However, I found using it for a group shot about 6-8 feet away via the app the exposures were a bit dark on several test shots. It definitely takes some time to figure out how it will expose in different types of situations but you can definitely get good results once you get dialed in with it. The manual settings are nice especially if you have a light meter or other method to estimate exposures (I often use my DSLR if I have it around).
Of course any Impossible I-1 review would not be complete without photos. Since I brought the camera along on a trip, I ended up giving away a lot of the prints and didn’t get to take proper shots of them, so there’s a mix of sample photos below.

**Update:** July 4, 2016 – we updated the the camera ([well, reset it) as per Impossible’s support recommendation](https://impossible.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/219091688-How-to-reset-the-Impossible-I-1) and it helped with the battery life. It’s not super long especially on standby but it fully charges now and seems to hold charge better. Previously even overnight, it would only get up to nine LEDs of charge (90%).

### [First Exposures Looking Forward, Giving Back benefit 2016](https://orangephotography.com/first-exposures-looking-forward-giving-back-benefit-2016/)
**Published:** April 27, 2016
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Each year [First Exposures](http://www.firstexposures.org/#!lfgb-2016/c1q1z) holds its [Looking Forward, Giving Back](http://www.firstexposures.org/#!lfgb-2016/c1q1z) event to raise funds for the program. It’s always a fun event where all of the mentees and mentors work lines the walls. This year the event was held at [SOMArts](http://www.somarts.org/) and a great crowd showed up to support this important program. We [donated a photo booth](http://orangephoto.force.com/client/OpportunityDetailPage?oppId=0063800000aOxgL&oppPWd=) and several of our team were also on hand for the event.
Along with all of the photography on display, some great quotes from mentors, mentees and parents were presented that really gave attendees a better feel for what the program was about. As a mentor myself, it was really neat to see some of what the parents wrote, as it helps us to realize that the time and effort we put into First Exposures has a real effect on the kids in the program.
A new term popped up when Olivia Khalili of [Yahoo for Good](https://twitter.com/YahooForGood) (a sponsor) mentioned STEAM (vs just STEM), the added “A” is for Arts, so Science, Technology, Engineering, **Arts** and Mathematics. I hope we hear more about STEAM when education is discussed and not just STEM 🙂
One of the highlights for myself was seeing previous mentees who have grown up and are still doing well. The Polaroid below is of me and Curt, one of the kids I mentored but as you can see if pretty grown up. If you weren’t able to make it and would like to support this organization, you can still [donate to First Exposures](http://www.firstexposures.org/#!donate-to-first-exposures/c10ww) here!

### [Conference photography can be fun!](https://orangephotography.com/conference-photography/)
**Published:** May 3, 2016
**Author:** gene x
**Excerpt:** Conference photography by professional event photographers of Orange Photography - best practices in conference photography.
**Content:**
Conference photography is something I really enjoy doing. Professional photography services like shooting conferences and conventions might be seen by some as boring or tedious, but we shoot a lot of them here at Orange and they can be both rewarding, challenging and educational. After all, you get exposure to different markets you might not have otherwise had, which is a general perk in event photography overall, but with conference photography you often get to shoot interesting keynotes and amazing entertainment too.
Recently we shot a conference here in San Francisco which had the perfect mix. We photographed keynotes which included educators, researchers, politicians and even Wimbledon winners!
A beer pouring robot – yes! ?
Of course there was a lot more to photographing the conference, and as any professional photographer knows, it’s key to capture all aspects of the event. Important things to focus on include getting branding into shots so you know the context of what the photos represent. This can be used for marketing and social media by the conference and can be valuable in selling the conference in the future too.
Good candids of people enjoying the conference are key as well as showcasing everything else on offer. You want to show the great networking and educational opportunities and give a general feel for what the conference can offer. 
As a special event photographer it’s also fun to capture people unwinding. This concert featured two big names in [Carlos Santana](http://www.santana.com/) and [A.R.Rahman](http://www.arrahman.com/) and you can see that the attendees were having a blast!     Corporate event photography sometimes finds you in surreal moments too. Here’s two [Wimbledon](http://www.wimbledon.com/) winners: [Pat Cash](http://www.patcash.co.uk/) is making faces at [Stefan Edberg](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefan_Edberg) who’s trying on a VR headset – never could I have imagined that that’s what I would be photographing last week 🙂

### [Meet our Studio Assistants](https://orangephotography.com/meet-studio-assistants/)
**Published:** July 7, 2016
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Everyone who makes up our internal Orange team can be found on our[ About Us](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/aboutus/team/) page, but there are a few important people who help us get our jobs done who are not on that page, our Studio Assistants! I would like to introduce them to you now:
**Caitlin Crow**
Caitlin is a multi-faceted artist born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. Her variety of experiences in customer service, art education, design, photography and dance have taught her to work hard, and always be prepared for anything! She holds a BFA from [Virginia Commonwealth University](http://www.vcu.edu/) in photography and film with minor studies in non-profit/small business administration.
**What’s your favorite thing about photography?**
I really enjoy how expansive and versatile the field is, and how it constantly changes! I feel lucky to live in a time when I can jump from older, analog processes to modern digital technology. I can shoot and experiment with fresh, expired and discontinued films and a variety of cameras, then scan my images to create prints, gifs, and animations. I also love researching lighting styles in magazines and films. There’s always something new to learn and try out.
**Favorite Bands?**
It seems like this changes everyday, but lately it’s been [The Internet](http://www.internet-band.com/), [Sleep](https://www.facebook.com/officialsleep/), [Ohbliv (Dark Twaine)](https://soundcloud.com/cosmicblkhole) and [Courtney Barnett](https://twitter.com/courtneymelba). I always find myself coming back to [Tame Impala](http://www.tameimpala.com/) too.
**Favorite things to take advantage of in Bay Area?**
The variety of food and outdoor activities/festivals/events. There’s always something different to do.
**What’s something from your childhood you wish you could bring back?**
I grew up on San Bruno Mountain just south of the City and it’s been hard watching the neighborhood I grew up in get so built up. I’d like to see the narrow roads, redwoods and eucalyptus forests come back. The kids in the neighborhood now won’t get a chance to experience that.
**Favorite Quote or Last Thoughts?**
“We the mortals touch the metals, the wind, the ocean shores, the stones, knowing they will go on, inert or burning, and I was discovering, naming all these things: it was my destiny to love and say goodbye.” ― Pablo Neruda, Still Another Day
**James Davey**
**Favorite Destination?**
Anywhere along the Oregon Coast.
**Favorite things to take advantage of in Bay Area?**
Exploring Mt Tam or finding the elk in Point Reyes.
**Favorite TV show?**
[Wonderfalls](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wonderfalls). One season of that was not enough.
**Do you have any special/hidden talents?**
I can shuffle dance and I can solve a Rubik’s Cube, but probably not at the same time. Probably.
**What is your spirit animal?**
I think it’s a mule deer. There are always a bunch of deer in my neighborhood and I feel like a deer more than anything else.
**Describe what’s great about working at Orange in two sentences or less?**
At Orange, I get to fill whichever role I choose. My responsibilities are so varied that no two days are the same, and I get to focus on the skills I want to develop the most.
**Akeem Pina**
**What Inspires you?**
Travel. Even just going to the airport inspires me.
**Favorite things to take advantage of in Bay Area?**
The scenic hikes.
**Favorite thing about SF?**
How free people are to express themselves here.
**Favorite Destination?**
Hawaii. It is the only island I’ve been to for now. But islands are my thing.
**Favorite Food?**
Breakfast Burritos

### [Talent Profile: Alycia Kravitz | New York](https://orangephotography.com/talent-profile-alycia-kravitz-new-york/)
**Published:** July 25, 2016
**Author:**
**Content:**
While Orange primarily works in the Bay Area, we spread nationwide when we can. We wouldn’t be able to do that without the help of some of our out-of-state talent. Over the next couple months we are going to introduce you to a few of those people.
**Alyica Kravitz**
Alycia grew up in Vermont before attending [Fordham University](http://www.fordham.edu/site/index.php), where she triple majored in Music, International Studies and French – nothing to do with photography! After graduation she lived first in China, then in Palestine teaching English & Music, but as she documented her travels she realized that photography was her true passion (yes, sounds cheesy but it’s true!). She’s now [based in Brooklyn](http://www.alyciakravitz.com/) but travels often for personal documentary projects, language immersion and pure pleasure.
**What do you like about working with Orange?**
I’ve really loved working with Orange so far – the whole team is friendly and professional and they do a great job organizing. It’s been a real treat focusing exclusively on shooting and not having to worry about logistics and administrative back and forth with the client. I have felt prepared and supported for each job, and all of the clients I’ve interacted with so far have been lovely!
**What inspires you?**
People. Always people. I know special education teachers, I know taxi drivers, I know real estate agents – and all of them inspire me to live my best life inside and outside of photography.
**Favorite hobby?**
I’m almost as obsessed with languages as I am with photography, and I spend at least an hour a half every day studying either French, Spanish or Arabic. I’m close to fluent in the first two, but I’ve got a ways to go with Arabic – I’ll get there one day, inshallah!
**What’s your favorite thing about photography?**
Again, people! The opportunity to meet new people and learn about their passions, whether I’m making a portrait of them or shooting an event they’re attending, is the best thing. The lens opens up these windows into people’s lives and I get to look in and see something completely different – it’s awesome.
**Something most people don’t know about you?**
I have French and Chinese bank accounts ^\_^
**Favorite food?**
Raw honey. My father and I keep bees in my home state of Vermont and I could eat raw honey all day every day.
See a sneak peak at the work Alycia has done for Orange.

### [Talent Profile: Danny de Zayas/ From the Hip Photo | Denver](https://orangephotography.com/talent-profile-danny-de-zayas-hip-photo-denver/)
**Published:** August 17, 2016
**Author:**
**Content:**
**Danny de Zayas, [From the Hip Photo](http://fromthehipphoto.com/)**
From the Hip is a five-person full-time team based in Denver, Colorado, and we love what we do! Our work encompasses everything from corporate events and headshots to food, fashion, real estate, and product photography–we love that every day brings new adventures!
**Why do you like about working with Orange?**
It’s always a pleasure for us to work in conjunction with the Orange team because they “get it” and understand that being creative artists and being consummate professionals are not mutually exclusive.
**Favorite Place to Eat?**
[Joya in Cobble Hill](http://www.yelp.com/biz/joya-brooklyn), Brooklyn. They have the best fried calamari and their green curry is still the best I’ve ever tasted.
**Do you have any special/hidden talents?**
I don’t do it anymore, but when I was fifteen I started DJing. I began spinning vintage reggae at this little British pub in Miami and then later, when I moved to New York for college, I started an indie-pop night. One night, this cute girl came in and we immediately clicked. Thirteen years later, we’re still inseparable. My wife, Nina, and I started From the Hip together and I guess we owe it all to that hidden talent!
**Favorite Artist?**
[Jean-Luc Godard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Luc_Godard). I fell in love with his work in high school, especially his films from the late 1950s through the mid ’60s. He was the first director who made cinema feel like a legitimate art form to me, and a lot of the basic things about the way I think of composition and lighting are a direct result of his influence. Plus, his work had this effortlessly cool sensibility–even if they were having a horrible time, you just wanted to be there in his movies with his characters.
**Something most people don’t know about you?**
When I was twelve, I ran with the bulls in Pamplona with my older brother. Before I went on the trip, my mother made me promise I wouldn’t do it but she says she knew in that moment that I wouldn’t be able to pass up the opportunity when it actually presented itself. (Sorry, mom!)
**What’s your favorite thing about photography?**
The basic function of being able to crystallize a moment in time. I have a terrible memory and I understand firsthand how so many of my remembrances are shaped by photographs. I love the tension in the idea that photographs at once capture the “truth” of a particular instant but that images are also subject to our own projections and emotions. My hope is that the photos we capture have helped people not only recall special times in their lives, but that the photographs themselves have perhaps added their own mystique to that moment.

### [Impossible I-1 Masterclass and shooting tips](https://orangephotography.com/impossible-1-masterclass-shooting-tips/)
**Published:** June 30, 2016
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
[](https://plus.google.com/u/0/events/c5acefhvderr6og98bg3rctt14g)We sat in on the [Impossible Project](https://us.impossible-project.com/)‘s I-1 Masterclass this morning to learn about some tips and provide feedback on the I-1 which we’ve been shooting now for over a month. [Our original review](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/impossible-1-review/) went over a few things that were directly addressed in the Masterclass including battery life, viewfinder use and more.
You can [view the recorded Masterclass on their Google+ page here](https://plus.google.com/u/0/events/c5acefhvderr6og98bg3rctt14g) (including his answers to some of our questions :).
Some of the notable tidbits we took from the class included the following:
- If you are looking for optimal sharpness in your shots, you need to know what that each lens has a sweet spot
- for example, for the **Macro lens** (lens 1) for close up shots, that distance is **0.4m** (40 cm, or 15.748 inches)
- for the **Closeup lens** (lens 2), it’s **0.8m** (31.5 inches which is also known as the **selfie** range – which worked – see test shot below)
- the next one (lens 3) is at **1.8m** (almost 6 ft.)
- then at **3.3m** (almost 11 ft) (for lens 4)
- for lens 5 it’s **anything over 5m** (16+ft)
- Impossible admits that the **battery life when in standby mode is not great** – about three days, similar to a phone, and advises to keep a charger with you and to always have it at 100% before you go out shooting. ([One of my questions towards the end of the class](https://youtu.be/kDYZiZv9yoQ?t=50m23s) was to show the battery level on the camera Oscar was shooting with and it was about 50% after doing the 10 or so test shots he did during the 45-minutes of the demo so far)
- **15-20 packs** is how long a full charge should last if you shoot those packs all together over the same day
They also demonstrated light painting with both using the manual controls via the app and using the light painting feature in the app – both were quite cool!
Personally I really like multiple exposures and it’s really simple to do with the I-1 and Oscar demo’d that as well (basically shoot a shot, then hold the shutter in still and turn it off. Turn it back on and take another shot – rinse and repeat as many times as you like)
It’s also cool how the app records your shoot info and you can attach an image (see below) which lets you remember what the settings were and when the shot was taken. It’d be nice if it could also include the location data and allow you to upload a photo from your photo library instead of having to take a photo of the print (since I often will take a nicer shot of the print with my DSLR and would rather attach that than snap an iPhone photo).
Overall a good seminar and hopefully they will take the feedback and input provided to keep improving the camera. So far it’s been pretty fun to play with and we plan to keep on experimenting with it and submitting to Project 8 which is a cool show that will be showcasing photos made with the I-1!

### [Orange Gets Away](https://orangephotography.com/orange-gets-away/)
**Published:** September 6, 2016
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Every summer Orange tries to take a couple days off and go on our annual retreat. We usually find ourselves around some body of water whether it be a lake or river. This year we rented an awesome [Airbnb](https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/12567103?eluid=1&euid=0baace93-0813-eaf9-5dab-d0a3214320bd) just North of Lake Mendocino.
Since the San Francisco summer is usually taken over by [Karl the Fog](https://twitter.com/KarlTheFog?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor), we enjoyed spending some time outside in weather that actually felt like summer. During the day we worked on a couple team photo projects, spent some time in and around the lake, cooked, and played music. We also did an interesting team building/ get to know yourself test called [True Colors.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_Colors_(personality)) It gave us a lot of insight into how we can work better together and take everyones strengths and differences into consideration.
We couldn’t get enough of the view from the back porch, both during the day and especially in the evenings. We all took the time to lay out under the stars and even have some fun with light painting.
Most of all, we all wanted to take the resident, one-eyed cat, Tiger home with us.
In the end, we got a bit of summer, relaxation, good food and we all got to know each other a bit better. Now on to the rush of the end of the year and the holidays!

### [Talent Profile: Natalie Jenks | San Francisco](https://orangephotography.com/talent-profile-natalie-jenks-san-francisco/)
**Published:** September 23, 2016
**Author:**
**Content:**
**Natalie Jenks**
Natalie is one of Orange’s top shooters. She has spent time as part of the internal team, but now works as an Orange Associate on our corporate side as well as our wedding side, [Crush](http://weddings.orangephotography.com/). Clients and Brides (or Grooms) are always in good hands when Natalie is on the job. We appreciate everything she does and wanted to share a little bit more about her.
**What is your favorite thing about working with Orange?**
My favorite thing about working with Orange is the people I’ve met and get to work with. Orange has a great community of photographers and other staff. I’ve had a blast getting to know everyone. When you work as a freelancer, having other photographers to bounce ideas off of and learn from is a real asset.
**Do you have any hidden talents?**
One of my hidden talents is my ability to make crazy faces. My husband and I sometimes make faces at each other, each round getting crazier and more exaggerated, and I usually win when he gives up and concedes that he’ll probably have nightmares. It’s a gift. (we can attest to this, especially in some of [our slow motion photo booths](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/portfolio-items/slow-mo/)!)
**Favorite Quote?**
One of my favorite quotes is from the [Pink Floyd song “Breathe”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrojrDCI02k):
*For long you live and high you fly*
*And smiles you’ll give and tears you’ll cry*
*And all you touch and all you see*
*Is all your life will ever be*
**What is something most people don’t know about you?**
Something most people don’t know about me is that I used to have pretty bad stage fright. I was shy when I was younger and hated the idea of public speaking. (If you’ve met me in person, this might surprise you as I’m pretty outgoing these days.) In the fourth grade, I was one of the finalists in my school’s spelling bee, but I didn’t want to go to the next round at the bigger competition with more people watching me and have to be on stage any more so I purposefully misspelled a word so I could leave!
**What’s your favorite thing about photography?**
My favorite thing about photography is it’s ability to preserve moments. I’m a very visual person and I have a poor memory, so looking back at old photos is one of my favorite things to do.
**What inspires you?**
Traveling to new places is where I find my greatest inspiration. Any place that offers me a different perspective always gets my brain juice flowing.
Take a look at just some of the things Natalie has shot for Orange:

### [Orange Partners with the Compassionate Leaders Program](https://orangephotography.com/orange-partners-compassionate-leaders-program/)
**Published:** September 28, 2016
**Author:** jack
**Content:**
Through our our sponsorship of [Wisdom 2.0](http://www.wisdom2summit.com/) in 2015, we met Vlad, the project leader of the [Compassionate Leaders Program](http://www.compassionateleaders.org/). The program brings mindfulness practice to inner city high school students and provides them the tools and opportunity to connect with mentors from the project’s corporate sponsors.
We were excited to partner with Vlad to bring more awareness of this program to other corporations through our [Giving Back program](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/aboutus/givingback/). In the span of six months we documented the evolution of the students development in the program and their relationship with their mentors from [Google](https://www.google.org/). One of the key highlights of the program was for the students to go to the Google campus and listen to a world renown monk of mindfulness practice, [Matthieu Ricard](http://www.matthieuricard.org/en/). By the end of their program, the students’ final project took on a serious problem in their community.
The outcome of their project remains to be seen but the effectiveness/exposure to the mindfulness will hopefully stay with them for years to come. We’re grateful for the opportunity to work with the Compassionate Leaders Program on such a thought-provoking and important tool for the next generation of leaders!

### [Inspirational reading for photographers: Brené Brown and Austin Kleon](https://orangephotography.com/inspirational-reading-photographers-brene-brown-austin-kleon/)
**Published:** September 26, 2016
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/books.jpg)Inspiration is something every creative we know has struggled with from time to time. We’re the same and find it valuable to get out of the photography world and seek inspiration in various facets of our lives. Whether it’s seeing a movie, going to a gallery opening or the ballet to reading a book.
Recently I saw my photographer friend [Helena Price](http://www.helenaprice.com/) post about some books she found valuable and among them was Brené Brown who’s TED Talk we’ve all likely seen (if not, [go watch it now](https://www.ted.com/talks/brene_brown_on_vulnerability?language=en)!)
I decided to pick up [Daring Greatly: How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead](http://www.powells.com/partner/43989/biblio/9781592407330?p_tx "More info about this book at powells.com") and [Show Your Work!: 10 Ways to Share Your Creativity and Get Discovered](http://www.powells.com/partner/43989/biblio/9780761178972?p_ti "More info about this book at powells.com") by Austin Kleon. One common theme in both books was vulnerability and it rang true. As creatives, we know that when we put our work out there it makes us vulnerable but it also can make us and our work stronger. It’s a simple concept but something that we often forget. People ultimately like to connect and when you share and are vulnerable, people can connect and appreciate that.
Some other inspirational reading for photographers can be found elsewhere on [our blog archives through the “review” tag](/tag/reviews/).

### [Feel the Burn: Burning Man 2016 photos](https://orangephotography.com/feel-burn-burning-man-2016-photos/)
**Published:** September 14, 2016
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
When we first started Orange Photography, we had to often skip out on [Burning Man](http://burningman.org/) since it culminated on Labor Day weekend, which is a popular weekend for weddings and as such, [wedding photographers](http://weddings.orangephotography.com/) were in demand especially here in Northern California. As we’ve grown, we have had more of a team to hold down the fort and keep things running. This year just one of us went out and that was me. I camped at Salty Jacks and didn’t go out there to take Burning Man photos per se, but of course couldn’t go out to the playa sans cameras.
In the end I took three Polaroids (well, two and an [Impossible I-1](https://us.impossible-project.com/pages/impossible-i-1-analog-instant-camera)), and one digital body.
Below are a few photos from the event with some captions. It was a particularly nice weather year so it was amazing to be able to go out at night and not be cold like in many years. The days weren’t blazing hot either so it was pretty ideal to get out to explore but really at Burning Man you can choose to do whatever you want, or nothing at all. I ended up volunteering some shifts at the airport (NV88) as I often do and got up on a flight with Captain Crunch on a nice clear morning (iPhone shot below) which was a great way to start the day.

### [Embracing Creativity: Tom Killion Woodblock printing](https://orangephotography.com/tom-killion-woodblock/)
**Published:** October 10, 2016
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Introduction to Japanese-Style Printmaking with Tom Killion – Green Gulch Zen Center, Muir Beach, CA, USA
As photographers we are creative professionals and something I don’t do enough of is try out other art forms. This past weekend, however, I finally tried out Japanese-style woodblock printing ([ukiyo-ë](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukiyo-e)). I took a class from my favorite American artist of this style, [Tom Killion](http://tomkillion.com/), whose work I’ve admired for years since I first discovered it.
Ukiyo-e is defined as “pictures of the floating world” and perhaps the most popular artist or well- known one would be [Hokusai](http://www.katsushikahokusai.org/) who’s [*Great Wave off Kanagawa*](https://www.google.com/search?q=Great+Wave+off+Kanagawa&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj3pKqj1tDPAhUWHGMKHRw9Dj0Q_AUICCgB&biw=1249&bih=728) is an iconic image. From an early age I had collected Hokusai and [Hiroshige](https://ukiyo-e.org/artist/utagawa-hiroshige) cards depicting their art that were packaged in ochazuke packs my family would buy at the Japanese grocery stores and Hokusai was my first “favorite artist” as a child so I had always been enamored of him and woodblock prints.
Fast forward to this past weekend, and I had booked a class with Killion that was held at the [Green Gulch Farm and Zen Center](http://sfzc.org/green-gulch) in Muir Beach, the perfect location since much of Killion’s work depicts Northern California and that area in particular.
The homework for the class was to sketch out an image you wanted to carve out for your first woodblock. I had two ideas in mind, both photographs I had taken: one was a shot of San Francisco ensconced in fog (below), and another was of a mother and child orca that I had seen just a week ago with my sister out in the Straight of Juan de Fuca off the coast of Northern Washington/Victoria BC.
I ended up opting for the orca shot after Killion explained some of what works best, especially for beginners, and he went over his own creative process. His work has many detailed lines, which was one thing he warned us against as fine black lines are one of the hardest things to do in woodblock printing since you carve out a negative of your image that you ink and press to make a positive image (somewhat like how photography works, albeit all by hand!).
Killion explained how the tools should be used and what he does to create his prints and it quickly became evident that the work he produces takes incredibly skill and craftsmanship. Using your hands to sharpen tools, saw off handles to create a proper fit, and carving out the wood itself was very Zen. Since the class was at the Zen Center at Green Gulch Farms we were welcomed by Sarah Tashker who read us some Suzuki to kick things off and get our heads into a good space.
After spending a few hours on the carving, you mind was quite settled from the concentration and focus required of the work. The slow evolution of the plain wood block into your image was quite satisfying as well, and once we got to a point of being ready with the image, we proceeded to ink and create a proof print and then a couple of actual prints on the Torinoko paper that Killion has custom made for his own prints.
After the class was done, it made me realize I need to push my creativity more and go outside of just photography. Any creative endeavor transfers and sharpens your other skills and keeps your mind sharp and is a must to prevent boredom or complacency – so get out there and try something you’ve always wanted to do!

### [Featured Vendor - SPiN SF!](https://orangephotography.com/spin-sf-venue/)
**Published:** November 14, 2016
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
We are excited to start a new series in the same vein as our wedding series “[Vendors we Crush on](http://weddings.orangephotography.com/?s=vendors+we+crush+on)” where we feature the people and places in the event community that we adore, are inspired by, and just plain love to work with!
This last session we had an amazing time photographing [SPiN](http://sanfrancisco.wearespin.com/), a unique Ping Pong venue and restaurant. We would love to introduce you to Lisa, the director of sales in SF, she’s the top player to contact if you want to give your next event a unique spin.
While getting to know more about SPiN and what they offer, Lisa told us that [Susan Sarandon](https://twitter.com/SusanSarandon), an avid ping pong player, is one of the founders. How cool is that? Lisa says, “It’s all about fun here at SPiN… even while we’re working,” which sounds great to me. I know I wouldn’t mind hunkering down in one of their comfy booths, and eating yummy food while working getting some editing done!
When we asked Lisa who she thinks the best ping pong player on staff is, she thoughtfully said, “Exec team aside, probably me… just kidding. Probably Mykel, one of our barbacks.” Don’t believe her though, we know she is vying for first place through with weekly ping pong lessons, gotta beat out the competition!
Orange loves San Francisco green initiatives and [giving back programs](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/aboutus/givingback/). We try to volunteer as much as we can and donate our time to non profits and as such we love to hear about other companies endeavors to do the same. SPiN has a very similar mindset and has regularly helped at risk youth by donating ping pong tables and equipment, in addition to charitable donations to special causes!
We had an absolute blast working with this amazing team, especially meeting their Director of Food and Beverage for SPiN Global, Ed Porter, who showed us some of their yummy menu and delicious drinks! They are constantly working on new and exciting foods to showcase so it’s always a delicious adventure coming back!
When looking at new dishes, Lisa is big fan of fat and flavor, a lot of the food is reminiscent of comfort food. My personal favorites were the Grass-Fed Beef Sliders and the Sweet Potato Waffle Fries with Spicy Kimchee Dip. However, everything I tasted was delicious and I would have a hard time deciding what to eat if I had to choose, I guess I would just have to come back to try the whole menu!
Here are some of our favorite shots from our shoot!
SPiN puts on a bunch of fun events and you can keep up to date on their “Happenings” [here](http://sanfrancisco.wearespin.com/happenings/).

We had a great time and were honored to be invited to participate in Transform, an event the [Exploratorium](https://www.exploratorium.edu/) threw to showcase their space to the events industry. It was a fantastic night of fun and we showed off our [bullet-time photo booth](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/services/booth-experiences/) which creates animated GIFs like the ones we’ve posted here.
There was a ton of Exploratorium photo booth fun to be had all over with many other vendors showcasing their experiences too. [Check out the #rentexplo hashtag](https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/rentexplo/) to see what others posted since we were having too much fun to have taken many shots. With it being an events industry showcase too, there was a lot of networking going on.
The Exploratorium is a great venue for events, and we were reminded about how it can be perfect for huge groups but can scale down as well. With so many interactive exhibits it’s also great for pretty much any type of crowd whether you are a tech company or startup or even a photography studio like us 🙂

### [Road to Nationals: NPC to IFBB Pro, Carla Rossi](https://orangephotography.com/road-to-nationals-npc-to-ifbb-pro-carla-rossi/)
**Published:** December 1, 2016
**Author:** gene x
**Excerpt:** Female bodybuilder Carla Rossi turned pro a year ago - here's our photo documentary look at that journey!
**Content:**
Last year a friend of mine became a pro bodybuilder. I followed along during her journey which culminated in the [NPC Nationals](http://www.nationalbodybuilding.com/) in Miami, FL. Carla lives in the East Bay and has been training for years. On the one year anniversary of her earning her pro status, I figured I’d jump post a sort of photo journal of her journey.
Carla Rossi 12-weeks out: Multitasking on the way to get a tan.
We started off 12-weeks out. Typically many physique athletes and bodybuilders will start to diet around 16-18 weeks out from their competition. This nomenclature is pretty common in the industry and you’ll often hear the “x weeks out” as a way to gauge how close to a competition someone is. As it gets closer and closer, the body will look more and more lean as the goal is to achieve a level of bodyfat that shows off the muscle that’s been developed. At a higher bodyfat level, you can see shapes and general mass, but not details. So the goal is to get lean enough to show the judges what your physique looks like sans fat. [Other terms used](https://www.facebook.com/notes/visual-impact-fitness/muscle-definition-terms-the-difference-between-cut-defined-ripped-sliced-shredde/156684951059401/) go from *ripped* (very lean) to *shredded* (super lean) to *sliced/diced/peeled* (for looking like an anatomy chart – usually a good thing for competing in bodybuilding).
Tanning is important as darker skin shows off cuts and definition better on stage with the bright lights and posing oil.
Diet is key and getting in appropriate nutrition means lots of trips to the grocery store.
Meal prep includes measuring out portions and prepping multiple meals at a time. Typically meals are eaten every couple hours.
Supplementation includes various protein powders among other things.
Trophies from previous competitions line her shelves. Rossi hopes to add one more at the end of this prep.
Having a support team is key – here’s one of her biggest supporters ?
---
### 7-Weeks Out
Carla is all smiles as she gets her caffeine before her workout. Essentially a pre-workout supplement.
Stretching before training to prevent injuries.
Leg day on the incline press.
Hitting hamstrings on leg curls
At our next check in we were at seven weeks out. At this point, the body is noticeably more lean and cuts should be showing. This was a training day so we hit up [Starbucks](https://store.starbucks.com) first to get some fuel and then hit the gym. It was evening time and not a lot of folks were in the [24-Hour Fitness](https://www.24hourfitness.com/).   
---
### 19-Days Out
Our final check in was at 19-days out which is just over two weeks. At this point, the dieting is the main focus. Most of the hard work in the gym has been done so it’s time to make sure the diet stays clean and a lot of cardio may be required to burn off any excess fat. I wanted to show what day-to-day was like more so dropped in on Rossi at her work. She was noticeably leaner and was still in good spirits. Often times as the show gets close, competitors are drained of energy because of the dieting and low body fat but Carla was still being positive.
Regular activities like going to work can be more challenging while dieting.

### [Help-Portrait 2016 with First Exposures](https://orangephotography.com/help-portrait-2016-with-first-exposures/)
**Published:** December 5, 2016
**Author:** gene x
**Excerpt:** We again participated in Help-Portrait this year donating printers to print the donated portraits. We're sharing Help-Portrait 2016 photos in this blog post.
**Content:**
This past Saturday was [Help-Portrait](http://help-portrait.com/) and it was our seventh year working with the program alongside [First Exposures](http://www.firstexposures.org/) and the [Bayview Opera House](http://www.bvoh.org/). It’s always great to give back during the holidays and while we’re slammed with holiday parties, we always make time for Help-Portrait and this year was pretty incredible!
The First Exposures mentees photographed 585 people, and there were a total of 119 volunteers helping to make it happen. Below are some photos from the day which went by so fast it was all a blur.
Our Giving Back program can be tough to integrate into the holiday season but so many smiles were made that it’s worth it. We can’t share any of the actual portraits directly here but you can see a lot of the great energy on hand even if there were a few tantrums and crying babies 🙂

### [Cold weather photography tips (and wet weather too!)](https://orangephotography.com/cold-weather-photography-tips/)
**Published:** December 22, 2016
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Here in our home base of Northern California it doesn’t always get too crazy with the weather. But our winters are rainy and it gets cold especially when we are up in Tahoe and the mountains. That’s when cold weather photography tips can come in handy like we’ve outlined below. Here we’ve compiled some tips we’ve learned over the years to share with you as you deal with cold and wet weather wherever you are!
1. In extremely cold weather, remember how condensation works!
– If you’re going back into your warm cabin/room and out of the cold, condensation can wreak havoc on your photography gear. One easy tip is to make sure to give your gear time to adjust by putting it in **airtight Zip-loc type bags**. It’s smart to **leave your gear in these for a couple hours** to be safe as the condensation will go on the bags and not your gear.
– Additionally, you’ll probably wanna **take your memory cards out before you go inside** so you can start working on editing, processing and backing up your shots.
2. **Batteries don’t last as long in cold weather** so keep them warm and bring extras! We usually just keep them in pants pockets or other warmer areas so they are warmed up and ready to go when you have to swap out.
3. If you’re photographing in snowy conditions or where there’s a lot already on the ground, remember that it’s reflecting a lot of light so your exposures may need to be adjusted. Basically you’ll want to overexpose a bit to compensate for all that light being thrown back at the lens. With digital this is pretty easy to check since you’ll be able to check your shots on the camera itself.
#### Since here in the San Francisco Bay Area we don’t get as much snow, we’ve added some tips on rainy weather shooting too.
1. You know those Zip-loc type bags we mentioned before? It’s good to keep some in your camera bag. Worst case, you can rip out a hole and poke your lens through it and let the rest of the bag cover up your lens/body to shoot in inclement weather. Most pro level DSLRs have some sort of weather sealing so you won’t really need to worry too much about light spray and sprinkles, but more when it really gets wet out.
2. Even better, pack a few rain hood/sleeves in your bags. We always have at least one option in our bags and the [inexpensive OP/Tech ones work great](https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?atclk=Brand_OP%2fTECH+USA&ci=3313&N=4075788778+4289364242&origSearch=rain%20sleeve) but obviously there are higher end options available.
Other tips include general things like dressing warmly in layers and having fingerless gloves (or the super nerdy index and thumb exposed type gloves ([Aquatech](https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/buy/aquatech/Ntt/aqua+tech+gloves/N/0) makes them as does [Freehands](https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/buy/freehands/Ntt/freehands/N/0)).

### [Orange Annual Team Summit](https://orangephotography.com/orange-annual-team-summit/)
**Published:** February 27, 2017
**Author:** jack
**Content:**
With the new year in full swing, Orange spent a much needed sunny Wednesday recapping our successes and growth opportunities from 2016. Thanks to our studio manager (and her generous roommates), we turned their bright and cozy living room into a conference area for our annual team summit.
Starting the day off with bagels and tea, Orange spent the morning recapping some of the company’s biggest accomplishments ranging from work [Super Bowl 50](http://www.sfbaysuperbowl.com/) to the number of large conventions we photographed in SF, LA, Las Vegas and beyond.
While our main focus was discussing ways to improve our internal operations to provide the best experience for our clients and Associates, it would be crazy of us not to mention the excitement surrounding our potluck lunch hour.
There were hot wings, veggie platters, shepherds pie, thai noodles, more chicken, and homemade coconut white macadamia cookies. Needless to say, afternoon tea was needed.
When the summit finally came to a close, the fun continued at [SPiN](http://sanfrancisco.wearespin.com/), an awesome ping pong bar located in SF.
Beers, burgers, and a plethora of flying ping pong balls were the final ingredient to our successful team summit. We are looking forward to another exciting year providing the best in photography, video and [photo booth experiences](/services/booth-experiences/)!

### [MPI ACE "Educate, Engage, Ignite!"](https://orangephotography.com/mpi-ace-educate-engage-ignite/)
**Published:** March 16, 2017

It’s that time of the year again for the [Annual Conference & Expo](https://www.mpincc.org/education-events/mpincc-events/annual-conference-expo-ace/) produced by [Meeting Professionals International Northern California Chapter](https://www.mpincc.org/). Held on March 9th at [Moscone North](https://www.moscone.com) here in San Francisco, MPI ACE was the largest meetings industry regional trade show – offering opportunities for networking and fantastic educational opportunities.
Orange has been honored to be the official sponsor for photography at ACE. We get to capture exclusive and behind the scene coverage of this year’s conference from guest speakers, break-out sessions and booth showcases. [Check out our photos here!](http://orangephoto.force.com/client/OpportunityDetailPage?oppId=0063800000e1m04&oppPWd=)
We also got to feature some fun stuff at our own booth. Here at Orange, we’re known for our [innovative and modern photo booth](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/services/booth-experiences/) offerings but we also have a sweet spot for the classic and old-timey. We felt a little bit of nostalgia putting together this vintage booth – from the handmade camera frame ([read all about it here](/vintage-photo-booth-rental/)), the antique props and sepia filter as a finishing touch to the photos (see below).
MPI ACE is a conference not to miss if you are in the events and meetings industry. With over 500 suppliers, vendors and venues from all over the country featuring innovative ideas, the latest technology, and unique offerings for your planning needs. Looking forward to what next year is gonna bring, so see you there when it returns to Moscone West in 2018!

### [Platon: Abstract: The Art of Design](https://orangephotography.com/platon-abstract-art-design/)
**Published:** March 27, 2017
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Finally got around to watching [Abstract: The Art of Design’s Season one, episode 7](https://www.netflix.com/watch/80093804?trackId=13752289&tctx=0%2C6%2C1d27bfc6-63c4-43fd-a75f-e084a8a3de89-180551955) which featured photographer [Platon](http://platonphoto.com/). I’ve really admired Platon’s photography since I first came across it years ago and was feeling a bit like I needed some inspiration and this was just the boost I needed.
If you aren’t familiar with his work, take a look at his website first and you’ll likely see many iconic images that you already recognize, and if not, the subjects will be familiar. I am not big on celebrity photography, and that’s not necessarily what Platon does per se, but his perspective on what photography can do and how he approaches his subjects were the most intriguing for me. His focus on empathy and connection really hit a chord for me, and it’s something I feel is so key to portraiture.
If you want to get a great look at the creative process and what inspires others, take a look at this episode which is currently available on Netflix!

### [PAPA 20 World Pinball Championships in photos](https://orangephotography.com/papa-20-world-pinball-championships-photos/)

[](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/pinball2017_0120.jpg)The deciding moment at the PAPA 20 World Pinball Championships – Carnegie, PA, USA
As event photographers you get to see a lot of things that you might not normally have access to. That being said, this year I competed at the [World Pinball Championships](http://papa.org/competitions/papa-world-championships/papa-20-world-championships/) outside of Pittsburgh, PA. I failed to make the cut in the A-Division (the top division), but as I watched the playoffs unfold, it was great to see history being made. I switched from player mode into spectator, but my inner photographer came out and I decided to cover some of what was unfolding…
Competitive pinball is a scene most people probably did not know even existed, but at Orange we’ve got a few of us that are really into it. There have been various world champions over the years, all men, and dominated mostly by someone who most would consider the [GOAT](http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=goat) of pinball, [Keith Elwin](https://www.ifpapinball.com/player.php?p=1).
This year, however, the final four included [Escher Lefkoff](https://www.ifpapinball.com/player.php?p=1605), a 13-year old from Colorado, who’s father, [Adam Lefkoff](https://www.ifpapinball.com/player.php?p=449), is also a top tier player who made the playoffs as well, but was eliminated earlier. In the final four were two previous world champions, [Cayle George](https://www.ifpapinball.com/player.php?p=615) and Bowen Kerins and it was Kerins that Escher faced in a dramatic tie-breaker for the championship.
The final match was on [Skateball](http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=2170), a Bally pinball machine from 1980. Kerins chose the game and had to go first, so Lefkoff could see what was done before he had to come up to play each ball. Pinball is similar to photography in that there are [decisive moments](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henri_Cartier-Bresson) happening all the time. The key is to be able to know what to do when those things happen.
With pinball it’s a dynamic that’s ever changing and very fast paced. When photographing pinball, one of the harder things is to know when something may happen and to be ready to capture that. Since I was familiar with the machine they were playing, and the broadcast was being show on nearby screens, I could look out of one eye to see what was happening on the playfield and know when danger was present. The body language of players can also indicate this so my positioning is also important – knowing where to be for a good vantage point.
One restriction is to not be in the line of sight of the players so as to not distract them. This limits the available angles, and no flash photography of any sort is allowed as well since that too can be a distraction. That lends itself to my own style so as this final match was unfolding, I found a great vantage point that included some of the crowd, some of the banners of past winners in the rafters (including some of Kerins’) and an angle where you could see both Lefkoffs watching the play (and of course that unique PAPA carpet).
As Kerins drained his final ball, it meant that Escher would win, and would not even have to play his final ball (a walk-off if you will, like in baseball). That moment is what leads off this post, and is the type of moments I really enjoy capturing (you can click on it to enlarge it a bit).
Below are a few more from the weekend and playoffs hopefully giving a bit of a glimpse into this world that I enjoy so much. (For the full gallery, [click here](http://store.orangephotography.com/p379823425))

### [Photo Booth Ideas: Light Painting photo booth](https://orangephotography.com/light-painting-photo-booth/)
**Published:** April 27, 2017
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
One of the first things I ever did in my high school photography class was light painting. It is so fascinating to see the movement of light translated on to still film, or now-a-days, the digital image sensor. We have a lot of fun taking this concept and using it in our [light painting photo booth](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/services/booth-experiences/)! Take a look at some of the fun shots below, maybe this is a good idea for [your next event or company party! ](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/contact/)
Even some simple strokes of light can make a great images!
Or, the light itself can be the center of the image!
We even had a bit of light painting fun at our company retreat last summer. Having a light up hula- hoop and trained dancer didn’t hurt!

Eleen Fisher and Jon Kabat-Zinn discuss the power of mindfulness practice
We were grateful to be asked to be a sponsorship again for this year’s [Wisdom 2.0 conference](http://wisdom2conference.com/) at the old Exploratium building. Now the building is called the Innovation Hanger and it was nice to experience the building in a new context. The team at Wisdom lined up a number of wonderful speakers such as the Jon Kabat-Zinn, Byron Katie, Chip Conley, Jewel Kilcher, Dan Harris and many more! The conference is particularly meaningful to us as many of the subjects are relevant issues to my personal life as well as having a huge influence in the kind of culture we want to create at Orange. In addition, I launched my personal portrait project at the conference documenting buddhist practices as it gains more traction in mainstream America. In particular, I am photographing subjects taking their practice [beyond the cushion](http://beyondthecushion.com), hence the name of the project!

### [Drones and events - an interview with drone pilot Eddie Codel](https://orangephotography.com/drones-and-events/)
**Published:** June 6, 2017
**Author:** gene x
**Excerpt:** dones and events are a trend that is only gaining traction - we look at some of the ways to use drones and things to consider for your next event
**Content:**
[Eddie Codel](http://eddie.com/) is our top drone pilot we go to and has been flying them for years. An early adopter, Eddie has done a lot of drone and events as well as other commercial and creative work with drones so we wanted to give you some insight into how drones and events can go together and what to look out for and what to inspire your events with! (Hint: to see some of the amazing work that can be done with drones, check out the [Flying Robot international Drone Film Festival](http://friff.co/), which Eddie is the founder of)
### **What are some of the main types of drone shots that are most useful in the events industry?**
A couple drone shots that work well for events are the orbit and the dronie. An orbit is where you circumnavigate around a point of interest with the drone’s camera fixed inward. It’s a cinematic way of showcasing a particular venue or event.
Dronies are always fun, which are essentially drone based selfies. A dronie begins as a closeup of one or more people and zooms (flies) out to an extremely wide shot that showcases the venue and the surrounding area, such as a cityscape or mountains.
### **What are some innovative uses of drones you’ve done and/or would love to do?**
Some uses outside of aerial photography are [3D mapping and modeling](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynR1iPLc-o8) of structures. This is something that is becoming more commonplace in surveying and construction. For pure fun, flying or racing mini-quads is always a hit. When it comes to racing drones and making movies there are people that are a lot better at it than me, which is one reason I started a [film festival](http://friff.co/) specifically for drone based filmmakers.
### **What are some misconceptions about drones and drone use?**
A big misconception some people have is that you can just pick up a drone and start flying. Drones are definitely easier to operate than ever before, but there are safety considerations and laws in place regarding where and when one can fly.
There are many places where it’s unsafe and illegal to fly a drone which could land a naive drone pilot in hot water. If you plan on making money with your drone, you have to become[ Part 107 certified ](https://www.faa.gov/uas/getting_started/fly_for_work_business/becoming_a_pilot/)by passing a test with the FAA to become a Remote Pilot in Command. That requires understanding regulations, airspace classes, sectional maps and understanding aviation weather reports among other things. Getting your Part 107 certification is a requirement for any sort of commercial work, including simply monetizing your online drone videos with ads.
### **How did you get into using drones?**
I jumped down the drone rabbit hole four years ago after watching a friend shoot a beautiful short [summer video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEmnBKYVL7A) at conference event in Palm Springs. When I saw the resulting video I was hooked. I soon pieced together my own camera drone rig with a [GoPro](https://gopro.com/), motorized gimbal and video downlink system. Back then, there was no all-in-one solution like is common with today’s drones, you had to piece together the components to build your aerial photography platform. I brought my rig to [Burning Man](https://burningman.org/) in 2013, resulting [in a video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2ThTb6iffA) that clocked up almost 2 million views in a week.
### **What do you see coming as trends and evolutions of drones and drone usage?**
Consumer drones will continue to become smaller, cheaper, smarter and safer. DJI, the undisputed leader in the consumer drone space, has just released their [smallest and cheapest drone](https://www.dji.com/spark) yet. It can be completely controlled through gestures. I see more autonomous features and AI being integrated as drones continue to evolve.
### **What’s one of the most notable ways you’ve piloted a drone for an event?**
One fun project I was hired to do was to conduct a drone delivery of a remote presentation clicker to a keynote speaker on stage at a large conference in a room full of hundreds of people. At the appointed moment, I flew the drone down the aisle towards the front of the stage right up to the keynote speaker who extracted the remote clicker from the bottom of the drone. It was a dramatic moment used to kick off his keynote speech.
### **Any last thoughts on drones and events?**
Ultimately, drones are fun tool in a photographer or event producers toolkit. They don’t make sense for every occasion as there are a lot of factors to consider but when they do, the resulting imagery is unique and unlike anything else!
To hire us for your own event drone coverage, [contact us](/contact/) or feel free to just reach out if you want to discuss ideas on how we can integrate both drones and events!

### [Photo licensing fees - what do they mean?](https://orangephotography.com/photo-licensing-fees/)
**Published:** June 19, 2017
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Photo licensing is often a confusing endeavor when you are hiring a photographer. In the US, the creator of an image is the copyright owner at the moment they create the work. This means a photographer owns the copyright to an image when they snap the shutter and can, as copyright owner, choose to license out the photo for additional usage. The *usage* is what the license covers. The *creation* of the image is covered by copyright.
[](http://www.copyright.gov/)What does this mean in practice? (**[to jump to our own most popular options, click here](#orangelicensingterms)**)
So you hire a photographer. Unless you do a Work for Hire agreement, the photographer will be the copyright owner of the image. But you want to use the images for various reasons. This means you’ll need to granted a license for how you want to use the images. [PLUS](https://www.useplus.com/aboutplus/system.asp) (Picture Licensing Universal System) is a consortium that came together to simplify licensing and they’ve come up with some industry standards on what a licence can mean and what rights such licenses can grant.
At Orange, we include some basic licensing that’s useful for most instances of the type of work we’re shooting for our clients. We use the [PLUS Packs](https://www.useplus.com/useplus/pluspacks.asp) which are pre-determined licensing sets that cover a lot of the most common types of usage.
For example, a common one is **Marketing Materials (PAMM)**
This means images are licensed for “Use in any marketing materials distributed to a targeted audience. Includes use in printed brochure, catalog, annual report, public relations and sales material. Also includes electronic (PDF) versions of the original printed uses. Applies to a specified end user product or service.”
and
**Web and Electronic Advertising (PAWE)** Use in any web and electronic media for advertising and promotional purposes including website, web banner ad, promotional email and mobile ad. Applies to a specified end user product or service.
**Internal Company (PRCO)** Use in any medium intended for internal company use.
## But most clients can have the usage they need in our basic photo licensing options.
Our ***Standard Licensing Package*** includes pretty much any marketing usage – so if you want to use your images for your website, Facebook, email newsletters and presentations this will suffice.
Our ***Premium Licensing Package*** adds commercial usage which means if you want to use the images in paid advertising (trade show promotional ad, billboard or other external advertising – if you use it to promote your company internally you don’t need the Premium level and our Standard level would suffice).
Our highest level is a ***Copyright/Licensing Buyout Package***. This is when you must own the actual copyright and as such would have complete control to use and re-license. Since this requires us to give up the copyright it’s also the most expensive level.
If you have any questions about usage and photo licensing [feel free to reach out](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/contact/) and we’d be happy to explain in more detail what the best options would be for you.

### [California Typewriter: analog inspiration](https://orangephotography.com/california-typewriter/)
**Published:** June 27, 2017
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Recently I checked out an [excellent documentary](http://californiatypewritermovie.com/) called *California Typewriter*. The title alone piqued my interest as a user of the old school technology, and as it turns out, a friend, [Silvi Alcivar](http://thepoetrystore.net/) is also in it as she does typewritten poetry on demand.
The documentary focuses on what the typewriter means in today’s more technological age, and also focuses on [a shop in Berkeley](http://www.californiatypewriter.com/) which does typewriter repair. After watching the documentary I was inspired to type up a few postcards and letters and realized I should probably have my typewriter checked out.
I called up California Typewriter and talked to Carmen Permillion who told me to drop by anytime so I lugged my Olympia that my dad gave to me years ago (and which he used while at University in the late 60s and early 70s) over to Berkeley.
Ken Alexander, their top notch typewriter repairman took a look at it and told me it looks like it was made in the late 1960s.
Alexander noted that the Olympia’s are really well made and that he rarely has to replace parts on them – fine German engineering! On my 40+ year old one that I brought in, he fixed the improperly spooled ribbon (my fault, doh!) and then cleaned it up and that was about it. It’s a workhorse for sure – he said it would likely have another 40 years in it easy!
Permillion noted that often people are surprised that a general tune-up starts around $100 or more. But like any craft, the value of the expertise is something people often forget. Like a good mechanic who has years of experience and knowledge that can figure out a problem quickly and resolve it simply, there’s a lot of value in that, but people often forget that – especially with technologies that aren’t as prominent any more.
I’ve seen this in pinball repair as well, but the pinball community seems to know that there is a lot of value in an experienced technician. That’s probably because many of them tinker with their pinball machines trying to solve the issue and failing and ultimately calling in a pro, while for typewriters, people probably don’t dig into the guts of one as much.
Going behind the counter to check out the work bench was interesting to see all the tools laid out. While at some level a typewriter is just a mechanical object, it’s all got to work smoothly to be useful and in fine working order.
In the end, I was able to take my typewriter with me after I finished shooting around the shop and chatting more with Permillion and Alexander and two other folks dropped by perusing the wares while I was in there.
If you’re interested in picking up a nice working typewriter or have one of your own that needs some love, I’d suggest dropping by California Typewriter and supporting this awesome local, independent business!

We had a great time this week getting a behind the scenes progress tour of the [City View at Metreon](http://www.cityviewmetreon.com/). We love working at this venue and are super excited to see the final touches when the remodeling is complete! They really took the time to answer all vendor questions and took into consideration what different vendors need in a venue. There are more power outlets available, a redesigned prep kitchen, meeting rooms with built in audio visual, and now there are air doors that separate out three different spaces within the larger space.
Here are some of our favorite photos from the walk-through! We’re pretty excited to be a part of the relaunch of this iconic venue next month!

**The Pioneer in Digital Event and Wedding Photography Reaches out to Aid Non-Profit, Charitable, and Community Organizations**
**SAN FRANCISCO – March 18, 2003 –** Orange Photography is proud to present a program that reflects the company’s values as well as the power of photography. The ‘Social Photography’ program is an opportunity for Orange Photography to give back to the community by offering creative talent to organizations that rarely have photography within their budget.
Once a month, a qualifying charitable/non-profit organization will be chosen to donate both services and revenues from the sale of reprints on the www.orangeexpsure.com website. From documenting social conditions to fundraisers, Orange Photography has the talent and resources to bring photography to every level of social strata. We believe the power of photography and compassion can enrich the lives of people in our community. Accordingly, we hope to cultivate opportunities so that we can put our beliefs into action.
“As individuals with a strong sense of community and compassion, we decided to integrate those beliefs into our organization in order to plant the appropriate seeds of growth,” stated Jack Huynh, CEO of Orange Photography. “All too often we postpone our philanthropic efforts until we’ve make it in the business world but I feel it is important to introduce the Social Photography program at the formative stages of our organization. As we grow, these values will provide a meaningful context for growth as well as keep the organization connected to its roots. We hope our community members will take advantage of this opportunity and reinforce the basic premise that we are all connected.”
Already several charities have jumped on board including the Big Bam! Foundation, Inc. who’s mission is to eradicate breast cancer by providing materials for health education, as well as medical services for women over forty, the underserved, and Latinas who experience age, financial or cultural barriers that inhibit early detection of breast cancer.
“We’ve worked with the Orange Photography team for several events and have been thrilled with their photography and attitude. With their new Social Photography program, they will be able to help the Big Bam Foundation reach and exceed our goals of raising awareness and funding even more free screening days,” said Janice Bonadio, founder of the Big Bam Foundation and breast cancer survivor.
The Academy of Friends also has continued to support Orange Photography and the Social Photography program.
“Academy of Friends is very pleased to be working with the Orange Photography team again this year and with the introduction of the Social Photography program at our 23rd Annual Academy Awards Night Gala. Academy of Friends remains one of the leading contributors to Bay Area organizations serving those affected by HIV/AIDS and to date has donated $4.3 million to support diverse direct care and prevention programs. Last year, the Academy of Friends Gala raised and distributed $375,000 to agencies serving those whose lives are affected by HIV/AIDS,” said Stephen Conneely, Executive Director, Academy of Friends.

**SAN FRANCISCO – September 25, 2003 –** The inimitable Bruce Bellingham mentioned the SF FACES show in his column in the Examiner and included an anecdoate about one of the more interesting photo shoots from the project. According to the blurb, “Why was Robert Hemphill, owner of the Dreaming Room tribal art gallery, standing in the middle of Columbus outside City Lights Books at rush hour the other night — bare-chested, snared in a sarong, face splashed with wild colors, clutching a spear? He slowed traffic even in San Francisco. Robert was posing for John Doffing’s project, SF FACES . John is collecting portraits of local characters. They include poets, socialites, rappers, strippers (or unwrappers), cops, firemen, writers, politicos, servers, artists, athletes, hod carriers, bartenders, quasimodos and quasi-quasimodos. The faces will be unveiled during a bash at Mezzanine on Sept. 25 at 8 p.m. In order to save face, be there…”

### [Murakami film coming!](https://orangephotography.com/murakami-film-coming/)

**Excerpt:**
**Content:**
As a big fan of [Haruki Murakami](http://www.powells.com/cgi-bin/partner?partner_id=26367&html=ppbs/26367.html), one of the most arresting elements of his novels is the imagery that his prose elicits.
I’ve always wondered how one of his novels would be translated into film, and now that opportunity will present itself when [Tony Takitani](http://www.tonytakitani.com/) debuts here in the US.
If you haven’t read many novels lately, I would highly recommend any of Murakami’s.

People often think that traveling for work is so glamorous and fun. I can’t complain since my assignments have taken me to great places like Barcelona, New York, Las Vegas and Vancouver but the reality is that when you work all week and then get on a flight to work all weekend it’s not so sexy.
This past weekend I was in *Chicago* but in reality was in Rosemont just outside O’Hare where I probably spent 99% of my time on the property of the Hyatt Regency O’Hare.
Early mornings, late nights, and crappy hotel food aren’t the best diet, but then it makes me appreciate the fantastic city I live in.

**ORANGE PHOTOGRAPHY LAUNCHES SOFTWARE PLATFORM TO SUPPORT THE NEW PROFESSIONAL NETWORK**
**SAN FRANCISCO – July 11th, 2005 –** Orange Photography, the premiere full service photography agency in the Greater Bay Area, today launched a web-based software platform designed to service professional photographers in their newly formed professional network. The Orange Exposure Professional Network represents the culmination of Orange Photography’s vision and commitment to excellence as the company poises to expand beyond their regional dominance.
“The launch of our Professional Network and the supporting software platform builds on our momentum as the leading full service photography agency poised to expand into other metropolitan markets,” said Jack Huynh, CEO of Orange Photography. “Our experience servicing a wide range of clients, from Fortune 500 companies to creative agencies to retail consumers has given us considerable insight in developing our software platform to fit the needs of other professional photographers working in many different disciplines. Our goal with the platform is to go beyond the limited vision of other online services catering to professional photographers as simply an ‘internet’ storefront or a Costco style lab. Ultimately, the software platform combined with our Professional Network will allow us to service many of our global corporate clients throughout key markets that demand our level of quality.”
Although, the software platform is only in a beta launch phase, the list of features designed for professional use is still impressive. Rich with features for any event/wedding/portrait photographer, the platform’s strength lies in the branding integration with the photographer’s own brand as well as peer-to-peer driven content that is relevant to the market segments that the Professional Network serves. The product is slated for a full launch in the last quarter of 2005 as the company refines the product and builds it professional network out in major metropolitan areas of the United States.

Spike Lee was in town promoting [his latest book](http://www.powells.com/partner/26367/biblio/0393061531), and of course also discussed his films and the world of filmmaking as well. His next film is called “[Inside Man](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0454848/)” and stars Denzel Washington, Jodi Foster and Clive Owen.
Here’s Lee with local Bay Area filmmaker Kevin Epps who we featured in our inaugural [SF Faces show](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/servlet/com.orange.photography.GalleryServlet?action=VIEW&galleryid=15&subgalleryid=72).
Interestingly it looks like the film also stars Thierry Henry who any French or British football fan will know as the all-time leading scorer in Arsenal history.

This is the Daruma that my parents gave to me for the business. I didn’t really know what the meaning/story was behind it so my Dad explained it to me. Here’s the details…
“The gift we gave you for celebration of the new phase of your business is a traditional Japanese figurine of the great Buddhist monk called Daruma. He is the founder of Zen Buddhism. He was born in southern India. His Buddhist name is Bodhidharma. He came to China in the sixth century to spread Buddhism, and settled in the temple Shaolin (the very famous same named martial arts originate from this temple).
“According to legend, he sat facing the wall and meditated for nine consecutive years and developed the Zen. Subsequently his legs were permanently fixed in “za-Zen” posture. The Japanese admire Zen Buddhism and Bodhidharma’s determinations by creating Daruma figurine. It is used to symbolize someone’s determination and accomplishment. When one is facing a challenging task, the person or close friends/relatives may give him/her a Daruma with eyes without iris/pupil — to remind him difficult path to Zen Bodhidharma had. And when the person accomplished his goals, all come to celebrate and watching the person painting the big “eyes” on the Daruma figurine. I would suggest if your company’s struggle does not limited to you, you may want to have everyone participate in the process of painting Daruma’s eyes.”

I recently visited Spirit Rock Meditation Center up in Marin for a few days of “relaxation”. I wasn’t suppose to ‘work’ but being a photographer at such an serene and beautiful place didn’t leave much choice in the matter. I’ve been interested in statues of buddha (specifically his facial features) for some time now and at some point i may build on a decent collection of imagery around the subject. Buddhism as a whole greatly interests me and there’s a lot of projects i have around the subject matter. I just hope there’s enough time.

**Excerpt:**
**Content:**
Today Orange is proud to announce with Mayor Gavin Newsom and new spokesperson John Travolta on hand, that Orange Photography has been named the official photographers for the city of San Francisco and for Scientology worldwide. This historic venture positions Orange on the cutting edge of photography in one of the most progressive cities, and with what is perhaps one of the more controversial religions in modern history.
With unprecedented access, Orange will embark on an ambitious program of documenting the entire experience of both the city of San Francisco and the religion of Scientology.
Tom Cruise, another prominent Scientologist will also be featured in a new film about Orange, and will play the part of founder Andy Berry. Casting for the other parts have not yet been finalized, although it is rumored that Quentin Tarantino or David Lynch are in the lead to direct the film and Uma Thurman has expressed interest in the role of Traci Griffin. Johnny Depp has expressed deep interest in playin the elusive but charming Ryan Hicks, the Creative Director of Orange that lives a double life. Jet Li and Jackie Chan will have a championship fight to play the venerable role of Jack Huynh. Both actors feel that their broken english is a natural fit for the jackanese has been the cornerstone of Jack’s success.

We covered the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake and Fire centennial commemoration for the San Francisco Chronicle yesterday and it was quite a day long festivity. It all kicked off at Lotta’s Fountain on Market St. and the highlight for me was Norma Norwood (pictured above) who was actually conceived in Golden Gate Park because, according to her, her parents were cold and homeless as a result of the ‘quake and had to cuddle. You know what cuddling leads so and so there she was conceived. She was later raised by prostitutes she told our mayor to everyone’s delight.

**Content:**
I think one of the most challenging aspects of celebrity portraiture is the amount of time you have with them to make the shot. Less than 5 minutes if you’re unlucky but i imagine 15-30 minutes would be average. Thinking on your feet and being prepare is fundamental at this stage to make it happen. Anyway, such was the case today when i had 15 minutes with the author, [Daniel Handler](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Handler), of Lemony Snicket fame. The other person on the right is the composer that collaborated with daniel on some piece that was previewed today at the SF Symphony.

Well, July has been crazy since I personally have been on the road much more than back in San Francisco and the worst part is that I haven’t given myself the time to enjoy the travels.
One exception was out on a dry lake bed in the Nevada desert waiting for a model to change outfits when just looking up gave me something to admire and a brief moment of bliss…

### [What camera should I buy?](https://orangephotography.com/what-camera-should-i-buy/)
**Published:** September 6, 2006
**Author:** gene x
**Excerpt:**
**Content:**
[](http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?link_code=ur2&tag=genex9combodybui&camp=1789&creative=9325&location=%2FCasio-EX-S600-Digital-Camera-Optical%2Fdp%2FB000E159NI%2Fsr%3D8-7%2Fqid%3D1157564175%2Fref%3Dpd_bbs_7%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Dphoto)
I have to say that one question you get a lot of is “What camera should I buy?”
I’ve seen this question posted on numerous message boards as well as our email inboxes time and time again. While we use professional digital SLRs, we don’t generally use the digital point and shoot compact cameras as much so we don’t have as much experience making recommendations in that arena.
However, one that I’ve personally used and own is the [Casio Exilim EX-S600](http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?link_code=ur2&tag=genex9combodybui&camp=1789&creative=9325&location=%2FCasio-EX-S600-Digital-Camera-Optical%2Fdp%2FB000E159NI%2Fsr%3D8-7%2Fqid%3D1157564175%2Fref%3Dpd_bbs_7%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Dphoto) which I like a lot. I originally picked up a Canon Powershot SD400 but didn’t like the form factor as much. Since we use Canon DSLRs, I do have a bit of loyalty to the brand, but for size and ease and quick startup I went with the Casio, which the ‘red’ option actually looks kinda orange as well. (*Note:* you may want the more recent version of this camera, the [EX-S770](http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?link_code=ur2&tag=genex9combodybui&camp=1789&creative=9325&location=%2FCasio-EX-S770-Digital-Camera-Optical%2Fdp%2FB000HE8KU6%2Fsr%3D8-2%2Fqid%3D1157564907%2Fref%3Dsr_1_2%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Dphoto), although this particular model is what I own).
For the best set of reviews and comparison tools though, go to [DPReview](http://www.DPReview.com). They’ve got really in depth reviews and lots of ways to find the right digital camera for your particular needs. The reviews can get a little too in-depth for many, but just jump to the conclusions and also see what other users have said.

These two kids were asking me all sorts of questions about my job during a wedding this weekend. I love how kids keep asking why and it’s nice because it makes you actually think about the answer to that question.
The exchange went something like this:
“Why are you taking pictures of us?”
– because it’s my job to do that
“Why do you have two cameras?”
– that way I don’t have to change my lenses out since I can have two different ones
“why?”
– this longer one lets you get close up with this other one lets you see a lot of stuff
“Can I take a picture with it of the trees”
– uh, sure

I overheard Claiborne say that she got off on the wrong floor and walked into someones party and realized then that she wasn’t at the right place. I wish she’d randomly show up at one of our parties here at the studio… maybe we can ask our neighbor Stanlee Gatti to come and bring her along?

So I was glad to see New York Times columnist David Pogue write up something about the whole megapixel race and why it’s overhyped. As professionals we often get asked “How many megapixels is that?!” and usually people are expecting some huge number that eclipses whatever camera they are using. However unlike some things, size doesn’t matter beyond a certain point and [Pogue’s article illustrates this](http://pogue.blogs.nytimes.com/2006/11/21/21pogues-posts-2/) as will his upcoming special on the Discovery Channel about the same thing.
Ultimately the most important thing is the eye behind the glass and what you are capturing – but of course you’re going to hear that from photographers. I’ve got a friend Nathan Koch who does a lot of work with toy cameras and gets amazing images. A lot of pros also use Holgas and they get some pretty incredible stuff. So the bottom line is: don’t get sucked into the vortex of megapixels!!!

There’s a section on there [about the judging panel](http://www.mycpi.com/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=3407) and I’ve just finished going through the entries. It’s a bit exhausting to go through so many images, but also fun to see the work.

The place was packed since it was one of the few options and I decided to bring the camera along. I totally forgot about the ‘zap’ man – who were the party photographers during college, but some people thought that’s who I was and I decided to turn that into my role for the evening albeit in a different style…

**Excerpt:**
**Content:**
So yesterday I perused First Thursdays, the monthly open gallery night here in San Francisco. I started off at [SF Camerawork](http://www.sfcamerawork.org) to check out their First Exposure book release and opening. First Exposures is a cool programs that pairs mentors to kids on a one-to-one basis and was something that I was personally interested in since we at Orange are going to be launching an improved version of our Social Photography program this year.
Afterwards, I headed over to [49 Geary](http://www.economist.com/agenda/displaystory.cfm?story_id=471946) to check out the multitude of galleries.
Well, you can’t seem to go to a gallery without hearing Hieronymus Bosch mentioned in a usually pretentious tone, but there were some amazing pieces by Clinton Fein that had a visceral and post-modern relevance to Bosch. The exhibit was at the [Toomey-Tourell Gallery](http://www.toomey-tourell.com/) and was entitled Torture.
A different type of social commentary was seen at the [gregory lind gallery](http://www.gregorylindgallery.com/) entitled Wabi Ranch: Paintings by Jake Longstreth, that is on display until Jan 27th.

My favorite thing is the security cam on the side of the building in the [piece entitled Vacaville](http://www.gregorylindgallery.com/exhibitions/2006/longstreth/vacaville.html).
The most packed gallery might have been [Catharine Clark](http://www.cclarkgallery.com/) where a solid group show was going on. Make it a resolution to experience more art!

When I was in school, I remember Dorothea Lange’s images captivating me and bringing me into the experience of the people she photographed. She was one of the first photographers that really made an impact on me and there’s a new book out titled [*Impounded*](http://www.powells.com/partner/26367/biblio/039306073x) that drew my interest.
As a half-Japanese American, I’ve always been fascinated with the internment and Executive Order 9066. Her new book has tons of new work originally censored by the U.S. Army and is the first photography book I’ve picked up in 2007. If you are interested in seeing another side of Lange’s work, check it out!

Today we shot the Topping-Out of [The Contemporary Jewish Museum](http://www.thecjm.org/) here in San Francisco. As [Wikipedia defines it](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topping_out), *topping out* is: is a ceremony done when the last beam is placed at the top of a building. The interior of the building shown here is the main wall that was preserved from the Jessie Street Power Substation and has been integrated into architect Daniel Libeskind’s design. It was interesting to see how the structure looked from the inside as compared to how it will look when completed.

We had planned shooting out in the desert and did for a little bit but on the way back to the Strip we passed this elephant on the side of the road, and had to take a shot… (model: Anna Tomasiello)

We’re making a more concerted effort to enter a number of contests this year and [WPJA](http://www.wpja.com) is a great organization that a number of our wedding photographers are a part of. I like the fact that they don’t take anyone that is willing to pay them money and there are photo journalistic standards that they up hold.
I shoot this engagement session at the couple’s home and i really like the intimacy that they were about to be comfortable with with me there.

Shooting in different cities is something that usually ends up sounding much more glamorous than it really is. Most of the time you end up in hotel rooms, eating hotel food, and of course you are away from home. I enjoy travel a lot though and there’s always something interesting if you force yourself to look around.
Here in San Diego it’s not hard – this hotel is perched right at the marina and has great views of the water – this is a shot from the room where I am sitting and working on the laptop right now…

This week we were shooting in San Diego for a large corporate gig. We’ve worked with [Mark Ross](http://www.ross-photo.com) a lot as he’s one of our primary shooters for San Diego for portraits. We had eight people shooting on one day and this is one of the shots of the 400+ headshots we powered through. It’s always nice to work with teams as you can share ideas, techniques, etc. We set up the lights slightly differently that I have in the past, and it was the first time I personally had used Norman lighting. Things worked out well and we got some solid headshots for all the mortgage bankers.

The event is limited to 15 participants and will definitely fill up quickly. [Find out more on the Fotovision website](http://fotovision.org/pages/indexEvent.php?event=191).
**Details:** *April 28th & 29th, 2007 — 10:00am to 5:00pm*
Through group portfolio reviews, discussions, and exercises, this two-day workshop will help photographers to begin to perceive the essence of their way of seeing the world.
A workshop for amateurs and professionals alike, the weekend will begin with careful reviews of each photographer’s work. Alex and Rebecca, a creative team who often edit projects and books together, will explore with the class a series of topics, including the relationship between images (such as the sequencing and interaction of photographs), the emotional and psychological implications of working in color vs. black and white; and how long-term projects evolve into books and exhibitions.

This shot was all done in camera. I was flying into Orlando International last night and saw the sun peeking through the clouds. I was thinking of how when you get that kind of light, it’s often when you can see a rainbow (if it were actually raining). Since the sunlight was going into the water below, I thought about quickly putting on my polarizing filter and catching a shot to see if I could record that prismatic effect.
Luckily it turned out since this was about the only chance I had at the photo. When we landed there was a shot I totally missed of a plane taking off in front of the streaming sunlight coming in through the clouds that created that effect.
That’s what this shot is just showing the streaming sunlight…

Today I received a DVD and replacement compact flash card from Lexar. As is wont to happen with any technical product, eventually something may go wrong and that’s what happened with this card. It had performed flawlessly for thousands upon thousands of shots and numerous shoots. However, this last time it worked fine in camera but attempting to download the images, it crapped out so I sent it off to Lexar after trying a few image rescue products to no avail. The Lexar folks recovered every single image and I was amazed at the assortment of older images they also recovered from the card. Some excellent support from the folks at Lexar – props!

So this is the setup we used today for our headshots. This is quite a typical setup that we use when we have one shooter taking care of everything. There’s a seamless roll, 2 lights, a reflector and single umbrella. Pretty portable and easy to setup and breakdown.
In this instance, we used a reflector to bounce light back from the umbrella while the 2nd light light up the seamless (and adds separation). The final results is this:

Shoe and fashion designer Steve Madden was at Nordstrom today. One of the interesting things he talked about with his fans/shoppers was when two younger kids asked him why he loved shoes, and what was the most amazing thing that happened to him.
The answer to the first question was related to watching trends in fashion through shoes. What was hot and why and how that affected fashion. He thought a bit about the other question and finally answered that it was his time in prison. Obviously amazing in a bad way but I thought that was an interesting answer.

After a crazy start to the year we were finally able to take the whole studio out for a much-deserved day off. The weather was magnificent and we went out to Golden Gate Park first for a visit to the De Young, where we are also corporate supporters of the museum. The Vivienne Westwood exhibit was a standout and it’s definitely something worth checking out.
Afterwards we went bowling and had a nice dinner at Chez Maman, one of our favorite places. It’s always great to take time off but sometimes quite hard to coordinate. Thanks to our clients for giving us some flexibility so that we could show our appreciation for the team that makes everything happen here at Orange!

One of the products I think attendees were most excited about was Adobe Lightroom, released a few months ago. I was able to attend a few seminars which introduced me to a lot of neat features. While I’ve been using it regularly, I was unaware of just how dynamic it is. I have to say I’m excited to get back and try out all the tools.

Keywording is something we do for all of our shoots that are released so that we can find images internally and our system is already built to handle keywords on the online galleries. So if you are looking for something specific, try that out.

I got to make it back to [Millennium Park](http://www.millenniumpark.org) this afternoon where I shot a different model about a year ago. The Bean of course is one of the signature art pieces in the park and is nearby the Frank Gehry designed Jay Pritzker Pavilion. This was just a ‘where’s waldo’ style shot I took underneath since I really love the flow of how the scene shifts as you walk and stare upwards. Since I had a wide angle it worked better this time. I kinda wish I had a fisheye to see how crazy the image could have looked – next time!

So I smelled smoke walking into the studio tonight which is never a good thing. After sniffing around to see where it was coming from, I heard noises from the back and peeked out the window where I saw the reflections of lights and peered down to see firemen sifting through a commercial dumpster that was right behind the studio. It looked as if they doused a fire in it because there was water running out of it and there were about six or seven guys sorting through the trash. Luckily I didn’t see any smoke markings on our building so the firemen must have got here quickly – whew!

This was one of the shots from the wedding of the couple in front of the estate that the wedding was held at. The sun was setting and they stole away to take a few portraits and I liked how this one came out…

Since the game was running a bit long, we got to kick it in the bleachers for a few innings enjoying the sun before we started work…

The party was pretty fun although most of the time I was printing on-site. However, one of our photographers Liz as well as the other photographer Misty were both hit on by one of the soap opera actors on hand.
Here’s a pic of Liz with Goose Gossage and the aforementioned soap opera guy…

We were on a cruise on the Bay this morning where Dave Campbell and Dusty Baker were speaking and posing for photos. We got this shot of these two by themselves and they were amped to get the prints so quickly while they were still smiling for photos with others. Ask us about our on-site printing and green screen options – always a hit with event and wedding attendees.

Last month was a blur. One of the neat things that I was reminded of was the great views we get out here of our city as well as the Bay Area. I took a ferry over from Oakland/Alameda towards San Francisco and got to go by the piers where all the giant shipping cranes were. I’ve heard that they inspired [George Lucas’ interpretation of the Death Star](http://www.ellabakercenter.org/page.php?pageid=36&contentid=61) so it was neat to get so close and see the scale. You can actually see SF in the background on this shot from just in front of the cranes and Jack London Square.

I like how the edge lighting works on the silhouette when the light bounces around the elevator shaft.

So I am wondering if everyone else is as familiar with this woman holding a gyro as I am (excuse the cell phone image quality here). It seems every time I’m somewhere that there’s a restaurant serving gyros, I see this exact sign. I am not sure if the gyro stock imagery market is small or if this is truly the best and/or cheapest image, but this woman is ubiquitous ([she’s even on MySpace](http://www.myspace.com/gyrowoman)!).
Anyhow, I hope that both the model and the photographer who shot this were compensated appropriately.

We don’t shoot that many fashion runaway gigs but the chronicle asked us to cover Christian Lacroix’s new line up last Friday. Although it should be like shooting fish in a barrel, with the constant light changes, i found myself challenged to capture every dress that came down the runaway. I tend to shoot in Manual mode for most of my indoor work but i found that this mode burnt me few times during this shoot!

[*Thin*](http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FThin-Brittany-Robinson%2Fdp%2FB000HEVZA8%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Ddvd%26qid%3D1194329619%26sr%3D8-1&tag=genex9combodybui&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325) is a film by photographer [Lauren Greenfield](http://www.laurengreenfield.com/), a member of [VII](http://www.viiphoto.com/), and someone with whom I share an interest in how womens body image is affected by society and media. I first met her at her opening at Robert Koch gallery in San Francisco for [Girl Culture](http://www.kochgallery.com/exhibitions/p_greenfield.html) and have followed her work since then.
*Thin* takes a look at anorexia and follows several women in a treatment facility in Florida. It’s a documentary that is a very intimate look at the problem and one of the most striking things was how many of the women had to leave treatment prematurely because their insurance ran out. Since the film premiered in 2006, it was shot and predated the current health care debate and highlights many of the shortcomings in our country, but more importantly takes a close look at the impact of our culture’s obsession with body image.
With a good portion of my work involving women in physique sports (bodybuilding, fitness, etc.), I’ve seen quite a bit of the effects of body image on the other end of the spectrum and it’s inspired me to dig a little deeper in my work related to that.

So we shoot lots of weddings here at Orange and of course you get to eat a wide range of meals. This past weekend I shot a wedding where [Hugh Groman Catering](http://www.hughgromancatering.com/) were the caterers and the food was fantastic. The butternut squash ravioli was some of the best I’ve had and the salad was delish too. Definitely a nice team to work with as well. Here’s a pic of the bride taking her shoes off to get her boogie on.

If I was wealthier I would have picked one up as a gift and got some of my holiday shopping done but instead I didn’t buy anything today.
The new [Crouching Spider](http://pulp.orangephotography.com/genex/archives/2007/11/footsteps.html) by [Louise Bourgeois](http://www.pbs.org/art21/artists/bourgeois/index.html) on the Embarcadero was another stop and it’s a nice piece, although I wish it was given a bit more space but I’ll take public art whenever we can get it (well, almost any).

Of course having grown up in the 80s I also recall him from his big hit back then. He still looks pretty young but then I guess I hope I don’t look too old too!

### [Green Screen Photography for Holiday Parties](https://orangephotography.com/green-screen-photography-for-holiday-parties/)
**Published:** December 3, 2007
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Green screen photography is a really popular type of event photography that we do here at Orange. During the holiday season, many of our clients ask for green screen photography which entails shooting against a chroma-key backdrop. Then the background is dropped out digitally and the image is then put onto whatever other image/scene you want. At one of our Saturday evening parties, our client had us shoot several different scenes from around the world. Here’s three photos showing how green screen photography is done.
#### Step 1 – take the shot against the chroma key background:
[](http://www.flickr.com/photos/orangeexposure/2085288082/ "green_screen_1 by orangeexposure, on Flickr")
#### Step 2 – using software, drop out the background and put the people by themselves into the new scene:
[](http://www.flickr.com/photos/orangeexposure/2084505019/ "green_screen_2 by orangeexposure, on Flickr")
(Note: this was our very first test shot so usually it’s a bit cleaner)
#### Step 3 – create the final image:

Maurice Hicks gains some yardage during San Francisco’s 27-7 loss to the Minnesota Vikings at Monster Park on Sunday Dec. 9th, 2007. We were on hand to shoot the game as we also photographed the opening ceremony for Standard Pacific’s awarding of scholarships to three students on the field. Unfortunately the 49ers weren’t able to pull out a victory for the home team though.
[](http://www.flickr.com/photos/orangeexposure/2100332094/ "Trent Dilfer goes down by orangeexposure, on Flickr")
This shot seems to represent a lot of this 2007 season for the 49ers. This is the play that knocked Trent Dilfer out of the game which saw Shaun Hill come in to take over and direct the team to it’s only score and his first career touchdown. Previous to that, Hill had amassed a total of -2 yards of total offense during his entire NFL career.

So Day 1 of Imaging USA is under wraps and it’s the biggest year ever here with around 9000 folks participating. Most of the sessions have been overflow with something like 800 or more people in attendance per presentation. The Expo was packed as well with lots of the top names in photography presenting at many of the various booths.
At one of the networking parties, Express Digital set up their own green screen setup which is what that shot came from. We’ll be posting more from the conference shortly, but tune in to imaging USA TV for more!

So ASMP brought back the [Strictly Business series](http://www.asmp.org/sb2/index.php) and the first one of SB2 was down in Southern California (Torrance to be exact) this past weekend. There were almost 200 photographers in attendance and a lot of great information shared.
For those who are starting out or in the middle of their careers as well, I’d suggest checking it out. There are three more cities scheduled for the rest of this year, and the presenters go over things that almost any photographer can benefit from. This was one of the best seminars I’ve attending focusing on smart business practices as well as a great opportunity to meet and network with fellow photographers.
Oh yeah the photo’s relevance? San Francisco Chronicle photographer Craig Lee and I were on the same flight back to SFO, but we got delayed at LAX and the expressions on the various folks in this image were pretty funny – you can tell a lot of them were also stuck there with us… Details: [Canon 40D](http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/518207-REG/Canon_1901B004_EOS_40D_SLR_Digital.html/BI/1830/KBID/2470), [50 1.4](http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/12140-USA/Canon_2515A003_50mm_f_1_4_USM_Autofocus.html/BI/1830/KBID/2470)

There’s a nice interview with Edward Burtynsky on To the Best of Our Knowledge that ran this weekend. I heard it last night night and you can [listen to the podcast online](http://www.wpr.org/book/080203b.html).
Jennifer Baichwal produced the film Manufactured Landscapes about Burtynsky’s work, and it’s an excellent film which is [now available on DVD](http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FManufactured-Landscapes-Edward-Burtynsky%2Fdp%2FB000MMLOAG%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Ddvd%26qid%3D1202154939%26sr%3D8-3&tag=genex9combodybui&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325). If you haven’t seen Burtynsky’s work before, it’s highly recommended to view it preferably in a gallery environment since the impact of the imagery is magnified by it’s actual presence.

This past Saturday we were on hand to do some more green screen event photography up in Oakville and Anderson Valley. The shoot was for [Silver Oak Wineries](http://www.silveroak.com/) and it was a lot of fun albeit the weather wasn’t so cooperative, but still there were pretty big crowds on hand. (I think we ended up printing over 1,000 5x7s!)
Since it was cold and wet outside, we used an image of the vineyard as the background which we superimposed onto the composite. Here’s Hannah and Melody fighting over the [1993 Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon](http://www.silveroak.com/wines/view_library_vintage/199/1993.html) magnum – some very good wine! The original shot is below…

Keep your eyes peeled as from time to time we’ll be doing this as a kind of guerrilla marketing test.

This was one of the quick shots I took which was totally hand held since the moon reflects so much light. I was surprised that I could shoot it with such a fast shutter speed – here’s the specs: Shutter speed: 1/500 sec, Aperture: 5.6, ISO: 400

We had two stations set up to take portraits of couples for a private party and in a separate room we had our printers set up. People as usual started to relax and have more fun with the booths as the evening went on and we actually kept them open an extra hour just because of their popularity. This is always a hit and we also often do it with green screen as well.

### [Film (analog) and the romanticism of vignetting](https://orangephotography.com/film-analog-and-the-romanticism-of-vignetting/)
**Published:** April 8, 2008
**Author:** gene x
**Excerpt:**
**Content:**
One of the things that’s obvious with digital when it first came out was the lack of vignetting (unless you were using a really crappy lens or toy camera). With the advent of the full frame sensors I saw a return of the vignette and with Lightroom being a popular tool and one we use quite a bit here at Orange, I’ve noticed how romantic an image can become with the vignetting. I don’t know if this is because of the warmth and familiarity that those of us from the film days recall of the vignetting and the lack thereof in less than full sized sensors? Or maybe it’s just how the vignetting pulls the focus in more to the central area of a photo?
While editing a recent shoot I couldn’t ignore it.. The shot above has the vignette and I’ve also posted the original version below the jump…

First Exposures / Ghana Youth Photo Project Benefit
111 Minna Gallery, 111 Minna St. at Second St.
Thursday, April 17, 2008 8:00pm – 2:00am
**San Francisco, CA –** On April 17 SF Camerawork’s First Exposures hosts a special fundraising event of music and art at the popular 111 Minna Gallery and nightclub. The funds raised by this benefit will help us to send six of our talented young photographers to Ghana, West Africa to work with a likeminded group of young photographers there. This trip will build on a previously established photo exchange and provide these deserving students a rare opportunity to travel to a foreign land and participate in an amazing photographic and cultural experience. First Exposures is the Bay Area’s oldest photography mentoring program providing one to one mentoring for underserved youth ages 11-18.
“I hope that my pictures will hold my memories and help me remember the fun I will have with the Ghanaian youth. I will have a bigger appreciation for the life I live and I will have happiness.” – First Exposures student, Bethany Castro, age 18
“I plan on gaining from this experience really beautiful pictures, learning from the children in Ghana and building connections that will last a lifetime.” – First Exposures student, Jontonnette Clark, age 18
The benefit event, to be held at the lively 111 Minna on Thursday April 17th, from 8:00pm until 2:00am, will allow us to raise funds necessary to cover all travel and photography expenses. The evening will feature a musical performance by Haphrodesia (a Special Acoustic performance from members of the Bay Area’s Aphrodesia), as well as DJ Toph One (of the Red Wine DJ’s) and other guest musicians and DJ’s to be announced shortly.
A sliding scale donation of $10-$20 will be accepted at the door, and we will also have First Exposures books and photographic prints for sale from both programs, along with a raffle with many great prizes. All proceeds benefit the Ghana trip.
First Exposures and SF Camerawork have a long history of collaboration with a wide range of youth service organizations in order to reach young people of diverse backgrounds. We are therefore pleased to announce the opportunity for several of our older and more experienced youth photographers to collaborate with the Ghana Youth Photo Project in West Africa for 2-3 weeks in late June – early July 2008. While there, our Bay Area First Exposures students will teach Ghanaian youth photography and will learn from them about their country and culture. The trip will expand beyond photography as we will travel to cultural heritage sites and participate in African drumming and dance classes.
First Exposures is a mentoring and art education program offered free of charge by SF Camerawork to young people from the Bay Area. Our goal is to provide art education to low-income and otherwise disadvantaged youth ages 11 – 18. Praised as a model program by the State of California, First Exposures is unique in its one-to-one pairing of each child with a photographer who serves as a caring mentor and positive adult role model. Our students are provided with cameras, they learn how to work in a darkroom, go on field trips, exhibit their artwork at the end of the semester, and spend time with creative, fun and supportive people of all ages.
The Ghana Youth Photo Project was created by First Exposures volunteer mentor Jamie Lloyd and aims to help children show their world through photography, similar to, and indeed modeled after, First Exposures. Though there has been a history of print exchanges between the programs, this is an extraordinary life changing opportunity for the Bay Area students, most of which have never traveled outside of California.

The event was organized on Yelp and was an eclectic group of folks. The idea was hatched last year at Scott Howard of all places and in it’s second year attracted a larger crowd and included sponsored awards for two of the categories (graciously sponsored by Arby’s themselves!).
In the end the two winners of the Arby’s Spirit Awards were:
– Most amount of meat consumed in one sandwich- ChrisT – 40 oz
– Most Beef n Cheddars eaten – Anthony L- 9

We’re honored to be on their website and continue to use their products. Many photographers have asked us about what we use and primarily now we use the CP-9500 and [CP-9550DW Digital Color Photo Printers](http://www.mitsubishi-imaging.com/photo/product_data.asp?model=CP-9550DW). They are dye sublimation and the print quality is superb as well as how quickly they print.

Currently the San Jose Museum of Art has an exhibition called [Robots](http://www.sanjosemuseumofart.org/content/exhibitions/current/exhibition_info.phtml?itemID=369). Since we do quite a lot of shooting over at the museum for green screen, on-site printing and various photo booths and candids, we get to see a lot of the work throughout the year. The Robots exhibit is pretty interesting and there are some great pieces. This piece is located outdoors and he was keeping an evil eye on us during our last shoot there a couple weekends ago.

Creativity Explored does some great work and if you are an artist yourself or a supporter of the arts, CE is a great organization to get behind. In their own words, they are “a nonprofit visual arts center where artists with developmental disabilities create, exhibit, and sell art.”

We set up a greenscreen photo station to recreate the above Julius Shulman image, “Case Study House #21”. The original 1958 image (left) features Pierre Koenig, the architect of the house, standing at the stereo. While poking around the web, I found some images of the same house, that Shulman returned to shoot fifty years later when it was up for sale in 2006.

This past semester of mentoring has been really enjoyable for me as part of the First Exposures program. The culmination of the program this period is a show titled “You Must be Mistaken” – here’s the details on the opening:
As many of you know it’s been a busy year for us and it wouldn’t be complete without an exhibition. This year we have been exploring the themes of stereotypes and what it means to be misunderstood and misrepresented. The results of which can be seen at the **San Francisco Public Library Teen Center**June 14 through July 31. The show is called **You Must Be Mistaken** and includes photographic processes ranging from traditional black and white prints, digital imagery and alternative processes including cyanotypes and Van Dyke prints.
We stereotype people by assuming that everyone who has the same color skin, or wears the same type of clothes, or comes from the same culture, or the same economic background or even the same gender is the same kind of person. This takes away a person’s individuality and uniqueness. These assumptions create a lot of misunderstanding and it doesn’t give you the chance to share who ***you*** really are. These images blur the line of assumption and reality. By utilizing the array of processes they worked with this year the students were also able to blur the lines of both digital and traditional photography.
Please join us at the opening reception for **You Must Be Mistaken** at the San Francisco Public Library on **June 14 from 4- 5 pm**. The exhibition is in the Teen Center on the Third Floor. The reception will take place in the **Latino Hispanic Community Meeting Room on the Lower Level of the Library.**

[](http://twipphoto.com/archives/609)I’m sure many of you all in the photographic industry (as well as you general Flickr users) have heard about the various news about Flickr in the last couple months. One I thought that we should note is that it is wise not to upload your high res files to Flickr because of some of the open API issues that have been exposed lately. [This Week in Photography has a good post](http://twipphoto.com/archives/609) from earlier this month that includes several links to other articles explaining in more detail, but the bottom line is that it’s wise not to upload your high res no matter what settings you have in your Flickr setup.

I guess the showers are the signature item and the bathrooms are huge – I was taking a photo sitting on the toilet (it was closed of course) and probably had about six feet between me and the shower door. No worries about your knees bumping against the doors here.
[autoviewer=10,600,450] Being on the tarmac photographing the Airbus A380 as it landed it was surprisingly and noticeably quieter than some of the other large jets. Emirates knows what they are doing – they are profitable and one of the media asked what the US airlines could learn from them which brought about a round of laughter. Anyhow, the Chron article has a lot more details and much better writing so check it out!

I actually shot a few meets that Leila competed in while she was at Stanford and so it was serendipitous that she and I were connected once again the week before she headed out to Beijing to compete in the Beijing Olympics. While we won’t be there covering it, we did do this quick shoot at the studio. She’ll be competing for Tunisia in the pole vault so keep an eye out for her!

So we’ve been incredibly busy so sorry for not updating our photography blog as regularly. Anyhow, over the past three days we had our own birthday party (stay tuned for the photo booth photography!), a couple weddings to shoot and a benefit for GLAAD last night at Orson.
Here are a few shots from the Long, Hot Summer benefit – you can also [go on eBay and bid on our wedding photography as part of an incredible dream wedding package](http://cgi3.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewUserPage&userid=glaad_charityauction)!

So we’re proud that our very own Andria Lo will be participating in an exhibition at [SOMArts](http://www.somarts.org/) later this month!
The exhibit is called ***filtered – beyond the first layer*** and the opening is on Friday August 29th from 6-9pm. As the exhibit says: “Andria Lo is a professional photographer whose personal work presents a curious look at the everyday/night by often capturing scene that cannot actually be perceived by looking.”
Check out the exhibit to see the photography and in the meantime here’s a shot I really liked from a corporate event that she recently shot for Orange!

Although it was extremely muggy and hot throughout St. Petersburg, the talent and ideas that were on display at Eventworld kept everyone excited. In 2009 San Francisco will host EventWorld and the Northern California chapter members discussed what we’d like to add to the event next year. Congrats to Events of Distinction and Robert Fountain for both taking home ISES Spirit Awards!

Anyhow, this past weekend one of the many shoots we had was for the [Chabot Space and Science Center](http://www.chabotspace.org/) which was having their 125th Anniversary Gala. There were many luminaries there (no pun intended) including Bill Nye the science guy who unsuccessfully showed the impact of global warming (doh!) but otherwise thrilled the crowd. Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums was also in attendance and we also had a green screen photo booth where Marti the Martian proved to be a popular companion for the prints we made on-site!

It was at Harry Denton’s Starlight Room where we’ve shot many events before and did portraits of Harry years ago. It’s a pretty nice spot and during the day you get a totally different view of the city. This shot kinda reminded me of some Jill Greenberg shots since she’s been all over the internet lately for the McCain comments she made about her shoot for Atlantic Monthly. Luckily this was a strictly non-political photoshoot!

Here’s a little clip of our extremely popular live projection/feed that we can pair up with our photo booth photography. This was during Macy’s Passport in San Francisco last week and you can see the images being shot shown on the plasma screens pretty quickly after the shot. The files are transferred wirelessly to a computer that then displays the shots. We’ve done this with LCD projectors too but the plasma is also a popular option. This works great for holiday parties as well and we often can do one photo station with the live feed and a separate one where we can print off photos for the guests. A real hit and a great way to further your brand or experience!

I’m off to shoot on location in Minneapolis this week but had to post a couple shots from this weekend.
I worked with Esra Oktar on Jenn & Derek’s wedding in Sausalito on Saturday and they were such a great couple. Jenn was totally styling in her dress, Manolos and veil and we took a quick stroll around the church to grab a few portraits. This was at “Three Gates” just around the corner…

They were really a sweet couple and the other couple that hosted and wed them was also a pleasure to make acquaintances with. It’s nice when you get to shoot smaller gatherings since they are so intimate and the Point Reyes National Seashore is the perfect setting. The Bear Valley Inn will be hosting more such celebrations and is a perfect spot for something quaint and low key.

Here’s Michael Carden, general manager, and [**Buena** **Vista**](http://www.thebuenavista.com/) owner Bob Freeman looking through the World’s largest Irish Coffee glass before it is filled earlier today where they set the record. They recently switched to using Tullamore Dew and one patron I talked to said he thought it tasted smoother and liked the current mix better than the old one.
The bar was packed with fans and also the random tourists who probably didn’t realize how special the day was. There’s lots of coverage by the local TV media too so tune in now and you’ll probably see something…

I hadn’t heard about [Lynne Cox](http://www.lynnecox.org) before we shot this event for Tufts at AT&T Park but she has an incredible story and is the second world record related event/person we’ve shot this week. Among the many records she created or broke, in 1987 Lynne became the first person to swim across the **Bering Strait** as a way to open the US-Soviet Border for the first time in 48 years with a time of 2 hours and 6 minutes. It was incredible to hear about her swimming in 32 degree water and seeing clips of her experiences. She’s also a best selling author so check out her books and more about her on [her own website](http://www.lynnecox.org)!

The day ended up being magnificently sunny which can present a problem of brightness, but we worked with what Mother Nature provided and things turned out quite well.

So this past week was incredibly busy so we apologize for not updating our blog as much.
On Friday I did a shoot for Kimberly Airey, a realtor here in the Bay Area. We did one location shot in the headlands and you can actually see Kimberly on the bottom of this frame talking to our friend Melissa who was helping out with the shoot. It was a bright sunny day so we had to work around that but ultimately I think we got what we’re looking for.

Well I’ve never been up close and personal with [Karl Rove](http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/16/magazine/16wwln-Q4-t.html) but he was in town last week and we had a VIP Photo session so I got to chat with him as well as John Edwards some and I have to say that Mr. Rove was much more pursuasive that I may have thought before meeting him. He’s excellent with people and really knows how to work his own magic. The audience that he and Mr. Edwards spoke with was mixed and probably a good cross section of Americans and the back and forth they had was very interesting. Rove impressed me most with his Cheech and Chong reference though which I think Edwards didn’t even catch. Touche.

He is one of the pioneers of microfinance and was a genuinely nice and humble person as well.

We probably don’t share enough of these. I was going through some of the Engagement and Portrait Sessions shot this year and thought you might like to see. Around this time of year, we get inquiries about booking creative portrait shoots for holiday gifts. Kind of different, right? For the person who has everything? We issue something like a gift certificate which can be redeemed for a customized session. These can be done in studio or on location, but I tend to like the natural light and environmental drama. It’s a fun time for the subject and then they have these stunning images for keeps.

Being half-Japanese, but 100% American, I’ve always been fascinated about the [Japanese internment](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_American_internment) during World War II. Since I grew up away from the West I didn’t really know anyone who was interned until I moved out to California. Well, we were hired to shoot the opening of the new Asian Law Caucus building at the edge of North Beach & Chinatown and the daughter of Fred Korematsu who was the Japanese-American who sued the US for the internment. After 9-11 a lot of Japanese-Americans were concerned that Arab-Americans might face similar prejudice as they did and banded together to help support them. Some of the same folks who fought and represented Mr. Korematsu were also on hand at the opening and it was pretty cool to meet the real people who fought for these rights for all Americans.

Although students seemed pretty apathetic, it was cool that they were honest like the time I asked them if our group was less or more boring than the previous group and one girl blurted out “more”.
Here’s a few shots they took as I passed the camera around and explained what we do at Orange Photography studios. I actually wanted to try the school lunch but everyone warned against it since they had some BBQ brought in for all the career day speakers…

Shooting press conferences can be all over the board as far as what you might have to do. Some are incredibly boring with just one person at a podium doing nothing much except talking and no movement at all. Others can be more dynamic but in general you never know quite how it may go down. We covered the Emirates Air inaugural flight to SFO from Dubai non-stop and this was one of my favorite shots from the event. There were certain shots you have to get but as the press conference goes on, you have time to get more creative shots. This was just a shot of the plasma screen with the panelists in the reflection and I liked how it was a different perspective. For me, doing PR photography is very interesting because you are forced to get creative with something that can often be seen as pretty cookie cutter…

One of the great things about shooting glitzy holiday parties (besides awesome catered food leftovers…) is having access to interesting venues. My favorites are the really old ones with original interior details. Apparently the Regency Center, built at the turn of the century, used to be a Mason lodge. You can see the Lodge level is well maintained with stained glass, red velvet wallpaper, and the carved dark beams. The City Club of SF has patterned copper ceilings and a Diego Rivera mural (they have a dedicated security guard during events). When I shoot events, I try to take setup shots for the venues to showcase possibilities for the use of the space. You never know when they might be able to use an image for promo material.

The book clocks in at 237 pages and has a nice mix of images and the back stories to them. I really enjoyed the book to get her perspective on how she produces the images she creates as well as the logistics, thought and ideas that go into creating each shot. Her anecdotes are quite entertaining as well since many of the figures she’s photographed are well known. There’s some good Q&A towards the end for the FAQ crowd, and it’s a good book for beginners as well as other professional photographers.

I do some mentoring in [First Exposures](http://firstexposures.blogspot.com/) so this opening had a personal connection and it was amazing to see the work the mentees did while in Ghana. The show is up at Camerawork until March 25th so stop by and check it out if you can.
Here’s the official write up:

youth photographers from SF Camerawork’s [First Exposures](http://www.sfcamerawork.org/mentoring.html) photography
mentoring program and teens living in the notoriously poor Nima slum of
Accra, Ghana who spent three weeks together last summer in Africa sharing
their lives, culture, and art. This project was created as part of Adobe Youth

So we haven’t updated our blog as much this year since we’ve been incredibly busy. This of course is a good thing considering the economy. Traditionally for our studio the first quarter is often the slowest as wedding season has not kicked in and corporate and commercial work ramps up as well. So far this January we’ve all been shooting quite a bit with some product photography shoots, news and PR shoots as well as our usual event coverage for awards ceremonies and other events. Hopefully we will keep this momentum up and we hope to make our eighth year in business another solid one. This is San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom speaking at an event at the Rotunda last night at Neiman Marcus. As usual he wowed the crowd with his presentation and he definitely owned the room when he was at the mic.

Yesterday we participated in the Four Seasons’ wedding fair called “A Five Star Afternoon.” We’ve been doing this show regularly and it’s always nice to see fellow industry folks and see what everyone’s been up to. Doing a wedding fair is something that’s good for keeping your brand out there, growing your network, and finding new or potential partners. Of course the primary goal is also to show your work to prospective couples and to earn some new clients. Here’s a few shots from the show in case you’ve never been or are interested in what this one was like.

One of the biggest hits of the fair this year was the smart addition of “The Bachelor Pad” where they showed the football games and had free beer and snacks. These folks were kicking it watching the Cardinals make the Super Bowl. On the right are delicious looking cupcakes by [Sibby’s Cupcakery](http://www.sibbyscupcakery.com/).

I thought this was a sweet photo. Unfortunately, I don’t have a photo credit. Any guesses as to the date? I love their natural pose and the details of the decor.
If you haven’t seen [Obama’s People](http://www.nytimes.com/packages/html/magazine/2009-inauguration-gallery/index.html), Nadav Kander’s portrait series of Obama’s administration, posted online on the New York Times website, it’s worth checking out. Most everyone photographed looks a bit awkward, but I think that is the success of the images. The subjects seem more accessible. Though the lighting does make them look somewhat waxen. It’s an interesting contrast and series in any case.

This week was the Mexico vs. Sweden friendly over at MCafee Coliseum over in Oakland and we were hired for a public relations shoot which involved [Ramon Ramirez](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ram%C3%B3n_Ram%C3%ADrez). It’s always interesting working with people who have a fan base and Ramirez’s fans were ecstatic to have the opportunity to meet him. He was very gracious and friendly to everyone and it didn’t feel the same as it can be for some of our own American professional athletes (at least in certain sports). This shot is the check presentation from Jose Cuervo to IME Becas – ([read the full release in Spanish](http://www.purofutbolonline.com/news.php?nid=2663)).

So we’re getting ready to [sponsor Jack on his AIDS/LifeCycle 8 ride](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/?p=613) and I test mounted a magic arm on my bike just to take a few shots with the camera to see what we could get. I didn’t quite feel comfortable mounting the new 5D MKII so I went with an older body and got this in the test round. I think going wider will be better and give more options for angles…

Here’s an alternate take on the photo that we took that ran in this month’s [Nob Hill Gazette](http://www.nobhillgazette.com/) for their Doers Profiles. I used different toning on the colors to mute the saturation more on this and liked the feel we got with that. The only regret was with the limited time we couldn’t fidget and fully scout and adjust things in the setting to fix the reflections in the mirror which we could have done in photoshop but no actual elements are added/removed/retouched in this just to show a more raw version of the file…

The space is pretty nicely laid out and it was the perfect place to test out some of the low light capabilities of the Canon 5D Mark II’s that we’ve been using over the last couple months. Definitely was happy with the high ISO shots and this one was taken at ISO 4000 and at 1/15 sec at 1.4 aperture.

We hit up [Ubuntu](http://www.ubuntunapa.com/) for a fine veggie lunch and [Bounty Hunter Rare Wine and Provisions](http://www.bountyhunterwine.com/) for evening meat snacks and wine. I was personally thrown off by Ubuntu’s restaurant/yoga studio combo (the sweating happens upstairs behind closed doors) but won over by the deliciousness and plating artistry.

photo © Michael Robinson Chavez
As per the description on the Fotovision website:
In this one-day workshop with acclaimed *LA Times* staff photographer **Michael Robinson Chavez,** you will learn how to put together a series of images that can tell a compelling story in a variety of forms depending on the goals and style of the photographer. This workshop will help photographers break out of their comfort zone, experimenting with style, distance from the subject and ideas of narrative essay and storytelling.
There will be a short shooting session and in-depth edits and critiques with each student of existing work and work shot that day. Time permitting, there will also be an opportunity to discuss matters of working on domestic and international stories, including how to overcome obstacles regarding access and how to get to the heart of your story, hitting readers and viewers with powerful images. Michael is open to discussing the incorporation of audio into your work and the delicate balancing act necessary to achieve gathering great audio and images on the same assignment. It promises to be an educational, exciting and busy day!

It’s a really good business book which focuses on how you can leverage Maslow’s heirarchy of needs with respect to a service business. As a photographer it’s important to remember that while we do deliver images as a final product, we are actually in a service industry as well. How you treat your clients will be a big factor in how well you can earn referrals and have fanatical fans who will evangelize about your work. We’d highly recommend the book as it also will provide you with a bit of perspective on how we’ve decided to run our studio here at Orange. This photo is one from the Travel + Leisure Magazine 35th Anniversary party that was held at the Hotel Vitale, one of Chip’s properties and he’s shown at the far right.

Some of you may know that I shoot a lot of physique photography and in particular bodybuilding and fitness shows. One of the biggest competitions every year is the [Arnold Classic](http://arnoldsportsfestival.com/) which is held in Columbus, OH. I’ve been covering this for over ten years and it seems to grow every year. One of the highlights for many attendees is Arnold’s Saturday walk through of the Expo floor. Generally I feel like the Expo is too crowded, but once Arnold starts making his way through it gets even crazier. This past weekend I was chatting with some folks at the Species booth when Arnold made his way by. Can you locate him among the throngs of people in this shot?

So I’ve been mentoring with [First Exposures](http://sfcamerawork.org/education/first_exposures/index.html) for a bit now and it’s a wonderful program. I first found out about it looking for information on a similar idea to get started up through our own studio here at Orange but found out that it already existed. Last year we got to send over some of our mentees to Ghana where one of the mentors had set up a similar program and the result is the exhibition now showing at [SF Camerawork](http://www.sfcamerawork.org). There’s a benefit on [March 25th starting at 6:00pm](http://www.sfcamerawork.org/events/index.php?id=12&month=03&year=2009) at Camerawork () which I would encourage everyone to check out to support the program and most importantly the kids. Below is an image by Amdia, one of the Ghanain youth. It’s sliding scale from $10+ and we’ll also be debuting a multimedia project I helped work on with the kids in association with Adobe Youth Voices. Come check it out!

One of the coolest things about shooting events is learning and meeting people you probably would not have met otherwise. It also often provides a chance to try and get more interesting shots since most panels and presentations are usually fairly similar setup-wise.
On Thursday night during the [Nightlife event at the California Academy of Sciences](http://www.calacademy.org/events/nightlife/), we shot for WIRED for their [DIY DNA](http://www.wired.com/medtech/genetics/magazine/17-02/ff_diygenetics) event. The panelists were Dr. Hugh Rienhof, founder of [MyDaughtersDNA.org](http://MyDaughtersDNA.org) (in photo at left) and [23andme.com](https://www.23andme.com/) co-founder Linda Avey (center) and it was moderated by Thomas Goetz of WIRED. I really liked the portion on patenting your genome and how medicine at the genomic level could be a quantum leap forward from the way things are currently done. Exciting times and very cool things that are happening right now…

We grabbed this photo from one of the open air balconies atop Davies Symphony Hall affectionately known as *The Ear*. This was from a new event at the Symphony called [Davies After Hours](http://www.sfsymphony.org/season/default.aspx?id=32804) and the performers were Bay Area cellist Alex Kelly featuring the [Mark Growden Sextet](http://markgrowden.org). The next Davies After Hours will take place following the San Francisco Symphony concert on Friday, April 24 – check it out and look for more images from Orange for and at the Symphony!

### [More good reads for small businesses](https://orangephotography.com/more-good-reads-for-small-businesses/)
**Published:** April 1, 2009
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
“Um yeah, can I order a book?”
So we like to keep up with what other small businesses are doing and thought we’d share some of the better business books we’ve read that are helping our studio do well during this tough time with the economy.
Two that stand out are [Small Giants](http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26x%3D0%26ref%255F%3Dnb%255Fss%255Fgw%26y%3D0%26field-keywords%3Dsmall%2520giants%26url%3Dsearch-alias%253Daps&tag=genex9combodybui&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957) by Bo Burlingham and [Raising the Bar: Integrity and Passion in Life and Business: The Story of Clif Bar & Co.](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0787986712?ie=UTF8&tag=genex9combodybui&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0787986712)by CLIF bar founder Gary Erickson. We also have incorporated a lot of what Chip Conley wrote in his book Peak ([reviewed here](http://db9.661.myftpupload.com/?p=881)). One of the things that Erickson emphasizes is that if you want to keep control over how you do business, that it’s important to stay independant and not take outside funding. We’ve bootstrapped Orange and ran it out of our own flat in the beginning and slowly and organically grown the business. Over the past eight years we’ve slowly done business the way we have wanted to including always having a socially conscious perspective and balancing work and life (although both Jack and I have to admit that we probably work too much, but when you love and are passionate about your work it’s not that bad). Anyhow, we’ve spoken at conferences and hosted seminars at our studio as well – if you are interested in talking to us more please don’t hesitate to contact us directly!

### [Portfolio magazine photography & more on entrepreneurship](https://orangephotography.com/portfolio-magazine-photography/)
**Published:** April 7, 2009
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Last night we shot an event at [111 Minna Gallery](http://www.111minnagallery.com/) for Conde Nast’s [Portfolio magazine](http://www.portfolio.com/) and the [Commonwealth Club’s INFORUM](http://www.commonwealthclub.org/INFORUM/about.html). You may have read about it on our twitter stream () but it was pretty interesting as most INFORUM events often are. David Ewing Duncan moderated and Futurist Paul Saffo was amongst the panel. Doing events can be fun and a good challenge when there are panel discussions or people speaking in fixed positions. However, because of that rigid format, it is a great opportunity to look for alternate angles as well as different perpectives. Often you can tell as much about an event from the surrounding details as you can from direct shots of the primary subjects – try it out next time!~
Also, there’s a great interview with Bo Burlingham and Jim Collins – two authors who have great insights into business – on the Inc.com website. They discuss how entrepreneurship is so important in these uneasy times and the article is entitled [*How to Thrive in 2009*](http://www.inc.com/magazine/20090401/in-times-like-these-you-get-a-chance.html?partner=newsletter_Success) – a good read!

### [Selling real estate and leveraging photography](https://orangephotography.com/selling-real-estate-and-leveraging-photography/)
**Published:** April 10, 2009
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
Photography has been used to sell real estate for a long time, but there’s a lot more to it than just taking a shot of the space. While digital cameras have enabled almost anyone to take photos, when shooting real estate (interiors and exteriors) it’s important to keep several things in mind.
First off managing parallax is critical so that the vertical lines are all straight up and down. If they are not, the space/building can look odd. A tilt-shift lens can help or you can also straighten things out in post-processing. You can also just take care to make sure your verticals are straight on both sides of the frame as you set up the shot.
Another important aspect in real estate is the staging. This unit was staged by [UpStage!](http://getupstage.com/) Staging a unit can really enhance a sale since it will look like it could look if someone were to purchase the property vs. an empty room which might look larger, but is harder to envision living in. There’s a lot more to it such as lighting and such, but we’ll go into more detail in future blog posts. (One thing if you noticed is that you have to make sure you don’t leave anything unecessary in the shot – do you see my iPhone I accidentally left in this outtake?)

We hoarded hundreds and hundreds of precious Polaroid 600 film to shoot the launch party at Louis Vuitton Tuesday. The collection features [Stephen Sprouse’s](http://www.welovesprouse.com/) iconic type all over the [LV goods in splashy neon](http://www.louisvuitton.com/web/flash/index.jsp;jsessionid=AYNH4E2RLLU3ECRBXUDVAFYKEG4RAUPU?buy=1&langue=en_US&direct1=home_entry_us). Punk Couture! Sprouse was a pioneering pop artist and pal of Andy Warhol who passed in 2004. So the Polaroids were an appropriate throwback and guests took home their snapshots in these custom folders. The models are standing in front of a still wet [Reyes](http://www.alivenotdead.com/adaptagallery/Reyes+Graffiti-profile-358905.html) mural the artist had just finished up. You can peep more snapshots from the evening on our [flickr](http://www.flickr.com/photos/orangeexposure/) >>

**Published:** December 7, 2010
**Author:** jack
**Content:**
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 become Lieutenant Governor.
That said, his team was anxious to get his portrait up before the end of the year. Gene had done some research on previous Mayor’s portraits and had a few different ideas to share with the Mayor and his team when we arrived.
Over the course of an hour or so, we shot a variety of settings as we wanted to make sure he had lots of different options to choose from (we were told he can be pretty selective about photos of himself). Clearly being in front of the camera was no new venture for the Mayor and I found him to be every bit as charming as he is said to be! I was able to snap a few photos behind the scenes in his office. The last photo is his selection and will be displayed in the famous hallway in City Hall. All in all, we had a lot of fun and were happy to take part in a little bit of the city’s history!

Our neighbors from around the corner called last week to have us capture a special World Series 2010 Giants moment.

### [Best Practices for Photo Booth Experiences](https://orangephotography.com/photography/booth-experiences/photobooths/)
**Published:** April 22, 2014
**Author:** gene x
**Content:**
\[layerslider id=”20″ /\]
## Before the Event
**Pre-Booking:**
- **Verify that you will have access to power and adequate space.**
- **Power Needs**: We require a 3 prong, 10 amp power drop per each photo booth installation. For outdoor installation, Orange can provide gas-powered generator power as needed.
- **Space Needs:** Most of our booth experiences require at least a 12ft x12 ft space with a ceiling height of 12ft. Some of our more specialized booths, such as our Light-writing and BlackLight booths may require a larger footprint, closer to a 15ft x 15ft space. If you have prints included in your package, we also request a 6ft table for the printer. Orange can provide this table if needed.
- Verify any additional venue restrictions and requirements, such as insurance and load in limitations. Orange has extensive experience with working within most venue requirements and can work with your team for easy compatibility. Also some specialty booths, such as our Slo Mo Video experiences include projectile props, so verifying any clean up requirements or flexibility with your booth options helps with a more streamlined experience.
- When planning where the photo booth experience may be set in the venue, we **strongly** recommend placing the photo booth in highly visible traffic area, while allowing for easy flow around the booth. The placement of the booth has a **huge** impact on your guests interacting with it. Putting it near a bar and other areas where people congregate is good.
- Provide any additional space concerns to your representative, such as any lighting installations or guest traffic flow plans, as they may recommend solutions that may require additional set up.
**Post-Booking:**
Once you have confirmed your package with Orange, you will receive a personal project page. Using this project page:
- Sign your invoice at least 2 weeks prior to the start of the shoot. Or if it’s a last minute booking where the event is happening within 2 weeks, you must sign from 48 hours. **Last minute staffing surcharge** of $100/staff may apply if you don’t sign for the project.
- Fill out your booth questionnaire at least 10 days before the date of your event. The more info provided to us, the smoother your booth experience will be.
- Make your selections on customization options such as backdrop selection and etc to insure availability. [Review backdrop/props/layout selections options](https://orangephotography.com/services/booth-experiences/standard/) here and provide your answers in our survey.
- All these items must be provided within 10 days of the event
- Additional **surcharges will be applied** for any changes 48 hours prior to the event.
- Refer back often to this page to receive your staff’s details and contact info as well as to verify set up, run time and break down timelines for your day.
Photo Booth Units
**Onsite Examples**
# Standard Branding and Greenscreen Specifications
Since the logo will be printed on the photos as well as be placed on the digital files, we ask that the file size be at least **1000 pixels on the longest edge**. The format of the logo/graphic should be JPG or transparent PNG. The default layout includes your logo and our branding along with a quick line for event details. If you’re interested in having your branding be more visible, such as a wrap around the photo booth unit or incorporated into a microsite,[ click on here to see examples and specs](https://orangephotography.com/photography/booth-experiences/photobooths/branding/).
If you’re providing your own image for the green screen, make sure the dimension of the the **longest side is at least 2400 pixels with an aspect ratio of 3:2.**
## Day of
The Lead Technician for the event has been provided with all of the event details via the Producer and the questionnaire. They are also given the information of the provided onsite contact. They will make contact with the onsite contact once they have fully arrived at the venue and are ready to start setting up.
- Have the onsite contact be aware of the location where the booth will be set up and make sure to direct our team to the proper location that has been arranged. Keep in mind the power and space requirements that are needed.
- To ensure a great experience for your guests, we may recommend including an highboy or chill area near the booth to allow for guests to set down drinks and personal items prior to entering the booth area.
- If you will be having any deliverables onsite, such as prints, we recommend including an additional table near the booth for easy viewing and delivery to each guest.
- If you need a quicker turnaround time, please inform your producer BEFORE the job so we can easily accommodate. Our standard turnaround time on booth images is 10 days, but of course we do our best to beat this. We offer expedited turnaround options for 24 hours, 3 days and 5 day delivery.
## After the Event
- Refer to your project page for the links to view the gallery and download all the assets. We will email you when those links are ready.
- This link can be made public for viewing by your event guests or kept private depending on your preferences. You can specify this pre-event within your questionnaire on your personal project page.
- Your gallery will expire 3 months from the date of your event. Should you need an extension, let your producer know.

## # Our Videographers in San Francisco and Nationwide for Corporate Events
While the majority of our video work has originated in the Bay Area, our national network of vetted videographers in San Francisco continues to expand across major markets—allowing us to support clients wherever their events take place.

This scalable approach ensures consistency in both storytelling and execution, regardless of event size or complexity.
Our videographers in San Francisco bring years of independent experience, combined with a deep understanding of working within corporate and brand environments. Beyond creative and technical excellence, we place a strong emphasis on professionalism, communication, and client experience—so your team can stay focused on the event, not the logistics.

## # Organize and Manage Your Event Photography Assets With Ease
With millions of photographs created daily, the real challenge lies in locating the desired assets when required. Hence, [Digital Asset Management (DAM)](https://orangephotography.com/how-asset-management-can-make-your-life-easier/) plays a crucial role in the event planning and marketing industry. Orange provides the latest cloud-based DAM systems as a cost-effective and managed service for the industry. Unlike other enterprise DAM systems that demand a $15K installation cost and an in-house manager, our solution allows departments and event planners to leverage DAM’s power without a huge financial commitment. Partnering with our agency, which caters exclusively to the corporate event planning and marketing industry, ensures that you benefit from our expertise in maximizing your assets.
## Why a Managed Solution?
Here are key advantages in having a asset management solution over just storage solutions such as MS Sharepoint, Google Drive, Box, etc.:
- Easily search, browse and share relevant photo galleries of events/campaigns you produce
- Centralized repository of photo, video and graphic assets for marketing team and production partners
- Version control of assets so that partners and vendors only use the latest/approved versions
- Control of delivery process to your end client and partners through easy-to-use interface
- Leverage AI to automatically tag assets so that you can use keywords to find comparable assets across all your events
With the plethora of DAMs available in the marketplace, here are a few of the reasons a managed solution may be a better option for your team/department.
- Significantly less financial commitment compared to a company-wide engagement where there are more stake holders to get approval from
- To fully leverage a DAM system, it is highly recommended that data is ingested and managed properly. With a managed service, there isn’t a need to have to train and staff in-house team member(s) to manage the data
- Because we focus on the event planning and marketing sector, our expertise to architect and maintain the data structure comes with 20 years of experience for many large corporate clients.
## Demo
Watch this quick demo to see some of the key features of the Digital Asset Management system such as:
- Easily upload to anywhere in the library
- Share only specific assets with partners
- See how AI describes a scene
- Search based on facial recognition
The system is designed to be used with any digital asset such as logos/graphics so there are many more use cases! Learn more about how this affordable solution can maximize the value of your digital assets.

Capturing professional headshots during a tradeshow or user conference presents an exhilarating opportunity to foster leads and elevate brand visibility. Drawing upon our extensive experience, we’ve traversed the spectrum of such events, refining our process to ensure a seamless journey for both clients and end-users alike. Our array of options empowers clients to tailor the experience precisely to their requirements, thus maximizing its impact.
**Company Meetings**
Amidst the rise of hybrid work arrangements and employees frequently on the move, integrating a headshot station into company sales kick-offs (SKOs) or internal meetings proves to be a streamlined method for updating headshots. Furthermore, leveraging our bespoke software enables the seamless embedding of metadata such as employee names, regions, and more directly onto the images, ensuring clarity and efficiency in organizational documentation.

With over 15 years of custom and large-scale headshot booth activations we have developed custom software and processes to insure the highest level of end-user experience onsite and after the event. Here are a few things to consider when evaluating our services:
**ENHANCED WORKFLOW:**
- Streamlined processes for immediate image access via email or text for event attendees
- Guests can effortlessly locate personalized images post-event using their email addresses, eliminating the need to sift through a vast pool of photos
- Pre-event and onsite reservation service to elevate the end-user experience and manage waitlists
**ADVANCED SOFTWARE FEATURES:**
- Custom tagging options for headshots based on regions, roles, and other criteria, ensuring easy categorization and efficient searching
- Create custom surveys to capture any type of information and have that data be embedded with the images

Benefiting from a widespread network of photographers spanning across the nation, we excel in tailoring engagements to suit diverse budgets. When the headshot station takes center stage, our principal photographers bring unparalleled expertise to ensure the utmost level of service. While we offer some starting points for consideration, we encourage direct communication for a personalized quote that aligns precisely with your requirements.

Gene X Hwang
His passion for being on the forefront of social responsibility and his actions to have Orange become the first photography studio to receive the San Francisco Green Business designation is a reflection of the core values Orange was created from. Gene is in charge of developing our photography team and his background working with large corporate clients and marketing communications during the initial dot-com boom in the late 90s has given him an insider understanding and perspective that helps clients today. Considered one of San Francisco’s premier event photographers for his unique style and talent for capturing events, Gene is one of the most sought after photographers in the city.
**Favorite Hobby?** Pinball! I’ve been addicted since I [stumbled upon a tournament whilst in Portland](http://www.ifpapinball.com/tournaments/view.php?t=3218) and have not looked back!
**Favorite Artist?** In photography, I really like [Edward Burtynsky](http://www.edwardburtynsky.com/)‘s work but there are so many great photographers out there.
**Favorite Place to Eat/ Favorite Food?**
I guess people know I love to hit up In-N-Out Burger whenever I am traveling to a shoot, but I eat more than just that. Have to say that after a trip, I love getting a Mission style burrito, pupusas or some sushi!
**Do you have any special/hidden talents?**
I guess I can do a little bit of slackline walking which not a lot of people may know. Um, and I used to play the trombone so a hidden talent now is playing terrible trombone! 🙂
**What inspires you?**
I get inspired by people more than anything: people who make an impact, or how people can affect the world. More in a positive manner but I feel that we all have a responsibility to contribute to the world in a positive way and leave it better for future generations. This applies both in how you treat people, but just as importantly in how you treat the earth.
**What’s your favorite thing about photography?**
My favorite thing about photography is how it allows you to share how you see the world. I originally wanted to be a photojournalist and one of the things I liked best about that was how you were bringing the world to people. I realized though early on that there is no such thing as totally objective photography. Even in the news business every photographer brings a part of themselves to the images that they create.

**What inspires you?**
I am inspired by people/organizations that are making a difference in a sustainable way while incorporating seemingly disparate trains of thought.

My first proper solo vajrayana retreat on the weekend and despite being unable to set stronger mental boundaries, it was still rewarding experience. While a daily practice is importance my connection with vajrasattva was not as strong and the retreat inspired my resolve to strengthen this critical relationship. Seriously I don’t think my vajrayana training really began until Khenpo La entered my life. It would seem one needs to really experience the teaching through a genuine teacher to fully grasp the power of the teaching.

The role of photography at events has always been more than documentation—it’s about creating memorable, shareable moments. With the rise of artificial intelligence, event planners and creative teams now have new ways to engage attendees. Two of the most exciting applications are AI transformations in photo booths and AI retouching in professional headshots. While both rely on similar technology, their purpose, execution, and impact are quite different.

Now that the World Cup is over, we`ve had a blast shooting all over North America during the whole tournament. While we can`t post any photos from in stadium, here`s some shots from the various events we covered. Personally we were most excited about the @USWNT players as we`ve been fans of them since the 1996 Atlanta @Olympics which started a huge run of domination. @MiaHamm was the striker on that team and the 99ers and it was fun to see pinball enthusiast/Ted Lasso as well. Having supported Manchester United and Juventus it was cool to photograph @alessandrodelpiero several times at events and @philipneville18 - only with Roy Keane would`ve done some events, but anyone who knows him knows he would not be down with that 😂

We`ve had a blast covering FIFA World Cup events so far and although our own countries are out, it`s been a thrilling ride! Having been a huge fan of the World Cup (both the mens and womens) it`s been a joy to cover events and be at stadiums across North America. While now it`s down to the final four we`re still working events around the games through the final and of course watching the matches with other fans. While we can`t share shots from all of the events here`s a few featuring some greats we grew up watching including the great @USWNT legend @miahamm (!!!!) and @alessandrodelpiero (loved him for Juventus and Italy). It`s been a fun ride so far and having now shot at a World Cup, we`ve photographed all of the big three - Olympics, Super Bowl and now, World Cup! Excited to be shooting at the Women`s World Cup next year in Brazil as well! #futbol #FIFAWC26 #WorldCup

It reminded us of how our connected our events community is here and how we all support each other and keep relationships going! #eventprofs #eventphotographers

About 90 mins outside of Las Vega`s is a little disperse camping spot know as steward`s point. I made it my base station (Jan 2025!) as I couldn`t get a campsite in Valley of the Fire State Park. Well, it turn out mighty fine location for my drone shots. Since I got in the late evening, I didn`t get the chance to scout for a more scenic campsite but I am not complaining!

It`s been about 5 days ago since I returned from my two month tour of the american southwest. The usual routine of doing alot of `productive` things have taken over and in the evenings, I take a break from being productive to look over the photos from the trip. I haven`t had much contemplation time these days but the trip did provide enough unproductive time to narrow the focus of life moving forward. photography will become a hobby again next year was one resolve to create more room for big picture stitching. Meanwhile, my first stop on this trip was Moab, the adventure capital city. I attempted a trial run in the backcountry of moab and failed to my delight. when everything is empty there is nothing to achieve.

So i got a bit lucky with the sunset at long dong silver spire in Hanksville, UT. Not too far off the highway and pretty close to Capitol Reef National park as well if you`re in the area. I almost missed the landmark because I stopped at the first spire i saw and it turn out that it was just a teaser spire. Nothing like a little whiskey to add to the confusion.

# Program Details
While we are pleased to offer event photography coverage as donations, we aim to make a more significant impact by collaborating with a nonprofit to narrate a compelling story. Through multiple engagements spread across the calendar year, we can effectively showcase the nonprofit’s mission via custom stock imagery, portraits, and video narratives. For event photography requests, we can only confirm donations within two weeks of the event date. Additionally, for our annual year-long engagement, we allocate our resources to support one nonprofit per year, and we currently have an available slot for such collaboration.

# Working with an Agency
In the vast landscape of creative and photography agencies, what sets us apart is our foundation as working professionals driven by a singular mission: **to elevate our clients’ experiences**. With a diverse portfolio of national-level clients seeking photo and video services across the United States, they entrust us to curate and deploy top-tier talent for their projects.
We prioritize the meticulous curation, staffing, and seamless customer service essential to delivering exceptional results. This commitment is reflected in our pricing structure, which accounts for the rigorous vetting, staffing, and support we provide to both clients and talent alike.
We remain steadfast in our dedication to fair remuneration that aligns with the value we bring to the table. Over the past two decades, numerous photographers have recognized the symbiotic relationship we foster, resulting in mutually beneficial outcomes.
With a diverse roster of esteemed brand clients, emerging talent, and seasoned photographers, our platform offers opportunities for growth and collaboration. In essence, our approach embodies a true win-win scenario, where all reap the rewards of our collective efforts.
**Nicole**
A San Francisco photographer with 15 years of experience working with Orange since 2018.
“I’ve worked with Orange Photography since 2018. They were the first agency I started working with, and as such they were pivotal in my development as a photographer. Orange has provided opportunities with interesting and often larger projects to supplement my income and expand my repertoire as a working professional. It’s also a nice break to be able to just show up, shoot and know that I’ll be paid in a timely manner because they are taking care of business on the backend.”
**Barak**
A San Francisco photographer with 20 years of experience working with Orange since 2010.
“I have been working with Orange as a freelance for over 10 years! I really enjoy the diversity of the projects, the community, working with Jack, Gene and the whole team”.

# Real-Time Content & Newsroom Services
Today’s event programs don’t end when the doors close—they unfold in real time across social, press, and internal channels. Our Real-Time Content & Newsroom Services are designed to support that demand, transforming your event into a fully operational content engine.
Building on our experience with onsite editors, rapid turnaround workflows, and enterprise-scale asset delivery , we bring a structured, media-driven approach to capturing and distributing content as your event happens.
## Onsite Content Desk / Media Hub
We embed a dedicated content team directly into your event operations—functioning as a centralized media hub.
- Onsite editors and producers managing incoming content streams
- Real-time curation of key moments, speakers, and brand activations
- Seamless coordination with your marketing, PR, and social teams
- Immediate access to polished, ready-to-use asset
This ensures your most important moments are not just captured—but prioritized and delivered with purpose.
## Live Social & Press Deployment
Speed matters. We enable same-day—and often same-hour—content delivery to support your live event narrative.
- Social-ready image selects optimized for LinkedIn and other platforms
- Press-ready assets delivered for media and communications teams
- Highlight moments packaged for internal and external distribution
- Daily recaps and visual summaries to maintain momentum across multi-day programs
Your audience stays engaged while your brand remains visible throughout the event lifecycle.
## Executive & Speaker Content Support
Your leadership team and featured speakers are key drivers of event impact. We ensure they are supported with high-quality, timely content.
- Executive portraits and media-ready headshots delivered onsite
- Short-form interview clips and sound bites for immediate use
- Speaker content packages for post-session amplification
- Coordinated capture aligned with keynote and breakout schedules
- Prompt delivery executives via our [facial recognition delivery platform](https://orangephotography.com/services/facial-recognition/) on the day of the event
This allows your executives and speakers to extend their presence beyond the stage—while the event is still top of mind.
## A Structured Approach to Real-Time Delivery
With over two decades of experience supporting complex, multi-stakeholder events, we’ve developed workflows that balance speed, quality, and consistency.
- Dedicated onsite editors and digital technicians
- Proven systems for ingesting, tagging, and distributing assets efficiently
- Scalable teams aligned with event size and content volume
- Centralized communication through our project management platform
This infrastructure allows us to operate not just as a vendor—but as an extension of your event marketing team.

# Nationwide Coverage. Local Expertise. Enterprise-Level Execution
With over 20 years of experience supporting national brands, agencies, and event planners, we’ve built more than just a network—we’ve developed a scalable, reliable infrastructure to support complex, multi-market programs.
Our nationwide roster of vetted photographers and videographers allows us to deliver consistent quality across markets, while our custom-built, enterprise-level platform ensures seamless coordination from pre-production through final delivery. Leveraging a centralized system built on Salesforce, our clients, producers, and talent are aligned in real time—providing full visibility into project details, timelines, and deliverables at every stage.
## Key Markets with Established Talent Coverage
We maintain strong coverage in major metropolitan markets, including:
- **Bay Area** – 30+ associates
- **Los Angeles** – 5
- **New York City** – 4
- **Atlanta** – 4
- **Dallas** – 5
- **Denver** – 4
- **Chicago** – 5
- **Seattle** – 3
In secondary markets, we typically maintain 1–2 trusted associates to ensure reliable coverage wherever your program travels.
Unlike marketplace platforms that prioritize volume, our model is intentionally curated. By working with a smaller, highly vetted group of professionals in each market, we build long-term partnerships that translate into consistency, accountability, and a better onsite experience for your team and attendees.
## Built for Multi-City & Multi-Year Programs
Many of our client engagements extend across multiple cities and multiple years—requiring consistency, scalability, and a partner who understands how to operate within evolving event strategies.
We’ve supported long-term programs such as:
- **Multi-year headshot programs** across regional office networks for financial institutions
- **Ongoing executive portrait and branch marketing activations** for enterprise clients
- **Annual conferences rotating across U.S. cities**, supported by both local teams and lead photographers depending on program goals
This hybrid approach—combining local market expertise with centralized project management—ensures both efficiency and brand consistency across every activation.
As highlighted in our conference work, clients rely on us to manage complex, multi-stakeholder programs while maintaining flexibility and creative consistency across engagements.
## Why This Matters for Your Event
For event planners and marketers, the challenge isn’t just finding coverage—it’s ensuring **consistency, reliability, and ease of execution across every location and every year**.
That’s where we operate best:
- One point of contact across all markets
- Consistent brand execution across cities
- Flexible staffing models (local vs. flown-in lead talent)
- Proven systems to support high-volume, multi-day programs

# Beyond Imaging Services
At first glance, we’re a photography and video agency. In practice, we operate as a **production and logistics partner for event marketers and planners**.
Our founders came from the early days of internet consulting during the dot-com era—where systems, scalability, and client experience were just as critical as the final deliverable. That foundation continues to shape how we support our clients today.
While creative execution remains at the core of what we do, our real value lies in **how we deliver it**—through structured workflows, vetted talent networks, and technology-driven coordination designed for complex, multi-stakeholder programs.
## Photography & Video — Built for Events at Scale
For most clients, the final deliverable is imagery and video. But behind the scenes, our services extend far beyond capture.
We support your program through:
- **Creative consultation** aligned with event goals and brand standards
- **Nationwide talent sourcing and vetting**, including hard-to-service markets
- **Producer-led coordination** across stakeholders, schedules, and venues
- **Onsite execution strategies** designed for efficiency and attendee experience
- **Post-production workflows** optimized for speed, consistency, and multi-channel use
Our approach ensures that whether it’s a single-day meeting or a multi-day conference, your content is captured with intention—and delivered with impact.
## Real-Time Content & Newsroom
Extend your event’s impact beyond the moment with real-time content delivery and distribution. Our onsite content team operates as a centralized media hub—capturing, editing, and delivering social-ready and press-ready assets as your event unfolds.
From executive portraits and speaker highlights to same-day social selects and daily recaps, we ensure your most important moments are immediately available to support marketing, PR, and internal communications.
Built on proven workflows, onsite editors, and scalable production teams , this service transforms your event into a live content engine—keeping your audience engaged while your program is still happening.
[Learn more about service. ](https://orangephotography.com/services/realtimecontent/)
## Multi-City & Multi-Year Engagements
Today’s event programs rarely live in a single location. Many of our clients operate across **multiple cities, business units, and annual cycles**, requiring a partner who can deliver consistency at scale.
We support:
- **Multi-year headshot programs** across regional office networks
- **Ongoing executive portrait and brand content initiatives**
- **National conference series** rotating across U.S. markets
- **Branch and field marketing activations** with recurring coverage needs
Our hybrid model—combining **local market associates with centralized project management**—allows us to maintain brand consistency while optimizing for cost, logistics, and speed.
Clients rely on us to manage complex programs involving multiple stakeholders, tight timelines, and evolving scopes—while keeping execution seamless across every location.

## Digital Asset Management (DAM)
Capturing content is only half the equation. The real challenge for event teams is **organizing, accessing, and maximizing those assets over time**.
Our Digital Asset Management (DAM) solution is designed specifically for event marketers:
- **Centralized, cloud-based asset library** for photos and video
- **Searchable metadata and AI tagging** for fast retrieval
- Secure sharing across teams, stakeholders, and partners
- Ongoing asset organization across multiple events and years
Unlike traditional enterprise DAM platforms that require significant upfront investment and internal resources, our solution is **fully managed and cost-effective**, allowing teams to immediately leverage their content without added operational burden.
With structured tagging and event-based organization, your team can quickly locate key moments, speakers, branding, or attendees—turning your event content into a long-term marketing asset.
[Learn more about this service. ](https://orangephotography.com/services/dam/)
## Why This Matters for Event Teams
You’re not just hiring a photographer or videographer—you’re managing a **content ecosystem across events, markets, and timelines**.
We’re built to support that reality:
- One partner across all locations
- Consistent execution across programs
- Scalable teams and services
- Systems designed for clarity, speed, and reliability

# **2026 Schwab Branches Project**
At **Orange Photography**, we’ve been bridging the gap between corporate needs and creative talent since 2001. For our upcoming **2026 Branch Network** project, we are looking for professional photographers nationwide to help us capture high-quality environmental imagery and headshots across several key regions.
### **How the Project Works: The Cluster Model**
To maximize efficiency and respect your time, we have organized this project into geographic **“Clusters”**.
- **Efficiency First:** Most assignments involve driving between 2–4 branch locations within a single day, performing a focused **30-minute environmental shoot** at each stop. Our expectation is **10-15 edited images** from each branch and refer to the pdf at the end of the page for more expectation.
### **Rates & Expectations**
We offer competitive flat rates based on the density of the cluster:
- **Starting $800** for clusters with 3+ branches.
- **Starting at $500** for 2-branch clusters.
- **Starting at $200** for isolated single-location assignments.
### **Next Steps**
If you have the capacity and interest in traveling or covering more than one geographic region, **we invite you to inquire about multiple clusters**. Refer to the embedded spreadsheet to see what we need covered. We are looking to build long-term relationships with photographers who understand the agency model and are ready to grow with us.
As a next step, we typically request a relevant portfolio of environmental shots to insure quality execution. Once we decide to work with you, you will be required to fill out [our work agreement](https://orangephotography.com/aboutus/associate/) (payment details and etc are listed here).
**Ready to get started?** Explore our regional maps below and reach out to discuss which clusters best fit your schedule.

# Video Stream Your Event
Have you considered streaming your event? Since event attendance is suffering and some organizations have opted to shut down their events and conferences completely, we’re looking for ways to provide them an **option to get their messages out to audiences**.
As an alternative to hiring large production companies, you can **leverage the same live streaming technology for your intimate event**. Streaming is an easy and effective way to showcase all of your event’s activities to those at home who still want to see what’s going on but can’t attend. We can even set up **live streaming of your event** and provide viewers with a more intimate perspective of the conference with real-time experiences that guests are having.
Streaming is especially useful for presentations that provide valuable information from important speakers and gives a more human experience that people prefer seeing over plain text.
# ### Ask Us About Your Streaming Options
# Features
- **Wireless and Portable** – The equipment itself is lightweight and portable. It’s under 3 pounds, battery-operated, and no cables are needed to connect to the internet or power – providing a sleek and simple setup that doesn’t distract from the event itself.
- **Multi-Cameras** – Since it’s so lightweight and wireless, we can set up multiple small cameras at several different locations and viewpoints. Live stream close-ups of speakers, wide views covering large convention areas, with cameras set up on the floor right in the middle of the action, as well as the mobile views operated by our production crew – all capturing the special moments and interactions that can’t be missed.
- **Multiple Platforms** – Interactive links can direct the live feeds straight to your Facebook pages, with the option of using any preferred platform, be it YouTube, Vimeo, Periscope, or other destinations.
- **Mobile-Friendly** – An app can be downloaded and used to monitor the separate video feeds and switch between cameras to show the preferred view. With the option to include text overlays, the streams were easy to manage and change which platform to showcase them on.
# Use It For:
### Multi-Day Events
### Conferences
### Internal Events
### Presentations + Broadcasts
# How It Works:
With this feature, the set up is incredibly easy. Without the distracting and cumbersome cables that can stretch across rooms, all it required was a tripod or surface to stand on and a line of sight the highlighted activities.
# ## Live Streaming at MPINCC’s ACE
At ACE19 (Annual Conference & Expo), exhibitors set up booths that focused on education sessions such as storytelling, audience engagement, and using new technology to capture hearts and minds, with attendees being active participants in the day’s events.
As a long-time member of [MPINCC](https://www.mpiweb.org/chapters/northern-california), we took our production to another level with live streaming services that **covered presentations, meet-ups, and the day’s general activities**. We implemented two roaming cameramen and a stationary camera to capture all of the conference action.

It was a great vibe all night long.
**Julie Enright**, Fort Mason
> I have some feedback about the photo session yesterday, and it’s positive feedback across the board. More specifically, my direct reports came back upstairs from their sessions, letting me know how much they enjoyed working with Billy and Michelle, and I was definitely able to validate their feedback during my own session late in the day. They really made it a pleasant experience for me – with their combination of being personable and professional – and I wanted to recognize Billy and Michelle for their dedication to delivering great service.

### [Schwab Event Photography Guidelines](https://orangephotography.com/schwab-event-photography-guidelines/)
**Published:** October 27, 2025
**Author:** jack
**Content:**
## Before and During Event
Here are the key steps to follow for every job:
- **Contact the Client:** Reach out to the onsite client the day before the event to introduce yourself and ensure they know who to expect.
- **Arrive Early:** Plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before the event starts. This gives you time to set up and get comfortable, which will help put the client at ease. If you’re running late, make sure to inform the client as soon as possible.
- **Turnaround Time:** Avoid discussing the turnaround time for delivering files with the client. Politely ask them to direct any timing requests to the producer.
- **No Assistants Without Permission:** Do not bring an assistant or second shooter unless you have cleared it with your producer first.
- **Social Media:** Refrain from sharing images or details about the event on social media.
**Image Delivery:** Aim to deliver 35-50 edited images per hour of coverage.
# **Grand Opening and Architectural Guidelines**
Here are the key elements to capture when architectural shots and a grand opening are part of the brief:
- **Outdoor Shots:** Include the main entrance, signage, a variety of angles, a possible ribbon cutting, and a group shot. Move around the building to capture different angles of the structure and the surrounding landscaping.
- **Interior Shots:** Focus on the reception area, group shots, walls with signage, branding, and logos, promotional materials, and attendee activities during the event.
Please read through the embedded pdf.
[Branch Photography Style Guide](https://orangephotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Branch-Photography-Style-Guide.pdf "Branch Photography Style Guide")
# Candid/Environmental Shots
When capturing candid and environmental shots, here are the top considerations:
- Use a mix of **prime lenses** and medium zoom lenses to get a variety of angles and perspectives. Flash can be used when needed but try not to rely on it exclusively.
- Shoot in raw format to ensure the highest quality images. If your camera has dual card slots, save JPEGs to the second slot for backup.
- **Minimize profile shots**. Position yourself to capture clear, face-on expressions whenever possible.
- If you use flash to light your subjects, adjust the ISO and shutter speed to balance the ambient light, ensuring the environment is also well-represented.
The primary focus should be on the people attending the event. Avoid photographing wait staff, bartenders, security, and others unless they are involved in a fun, employee-related interaction.

# Keynote/Speech/Presenter Shots
Here are the top tips for capturing stage and presentation shots:
- **Key Speaker Shots:** Aim to get at least 5-10 high-quality shots of the key speaker from various angles. If the speaker is on stage for 20 minutes or longer, try to capture even more. Always include shots that feature the speaker with branding, logos, or slides in the background.
- **Crowd Shots:** Capture a mix of wide shots showing the entire audience and tighter shots of individuals or small groups who look engaged and attentive.
- **Panel Discussions:** For panel discussions, take wide shots of the entire panel and individual shots of each panelist from multiple angles.
- **Award Ceremony Shots:** Ensure you capture at least two images of each winner. Coordinate with the client beforehand to find out if the winners will pause on stage for photos or if the shots should be more candid.
- **Examples:** Refer to these pages for good examples of the types of images we are looking [Conference](https://store.orangephotography.com/p811853532), [Evening Reception](https://store.orangephotography.com/p492108227)

# Post-Production Guidelines
Here are the top expectations for your editing process. The more mindful you are while shooting, the less time you’ll need to spend in post-production.
- **Image Selection:** When reviewing your shots, we recommend a two-pass approach to deliver 35-50 edited images per hour of coverage. On your first pass, eliminate all unusable images (poor focus, unsalvageable exposure, weird faces, or eyes closed). Count how many images remain. On your second pass, refine the selection to meet the desired number of images.
- **Rating Images:** During the second pass, rate the best images with 4 stars. These should make up about 15-20% of the total edited images.
- **Editing:** Perform color and exposure corrections in Lightroom Classic. Use the sync settings feature to apply adjustments in batches. Feel free to crop images to improve compositions, always maintaining a 2:3 aspect ratio.
**Export Naming Convention**
The naming convention for schwab events is DIFFERENT than our normal naming convention that is documented in your project portal page. The naming convention you should use for schwab event is (XXX is the sequence number)
State\_City\_Event description\_XXX
Examples:
WA\_Tacoma\_Pickleball\_001
IL\_Chicago\_Golf\_001
AZ\_Phoeniz\_HyattHotel\_001

[](https://orangephotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/11965_WorkdaySKO_GXHRAW_0473f.jpg)
# Footprint
Our ideal footprint is a 10×20 foot area but we request a 10×10 minimum area. For smaller spaces than the minimum, the experience will be compromised for the guests but is still doable.
# Client/Venue to provide
Here are things we need at the venue :
1. Access to 110V / 20A power
2. Access to a WiFi network
3. Two highboy tables or similar tables
4. Appropriate load-in and parking info (we usually have a cart of gear)
5. Signage near headshot station to provide instructions to attendees before they get their headshot (they must register via a QR code before getting a headshot so that the images can be instantly delivered to their email after the session)
### Sample Signage
# Ways to manage guest flow/waitlist
Tailoring the management of the headshot station to suit the nature of the event opens up innovative avenues for optimizing guest flow. Consider, for instance, an expo floor scenario where an exhibitor hosts the station; here, strategically fostering a long line could effectively draw more traffic to the booth while facilitating increased interaction with guests. Leveraging our expertise, we find that a blend of first-come, first-served approach alongside pre-registration yields the most favorable guest experience.
Outlined below are the anticipated outputs based on various flow strategies:
1. First-come, first-served only:
- Expected throughput: 20-25 guests per hour per station.
- Typically, we allocate 2-3 minutes per guest and capture 6-12 images.
- If retouching is part of the activation, guests may spend additional time selecting the image for retouching (an extra 3-4 minutes).
2. First-come, first-served with pre-event registration:
- Similar throughput: 20-25 guests per hour per station.
- Attendees with reservations are granted priority access, allowing them to bypass the line and check in with our assistant.
3. First-come, first-served with onsite reservations:
- Comparable output as above, but with dedicated personnel managing onsite reservations for streamlined coordination.
This approach ensures optimal efficiency and guest satisfaction across diverse event scenarios.

### [Schwab Headshot Guidelines](https://orangephotography.com/headshots/schwab/)
**Published:** April 11, 2014

# General Expectations
While each headshot shoot may have different creative expectations, the type of headshots we do 90% of the time is pretty simple from an execution point of view. Accordingly, your demeanor and professionalism will go a long way in making the project successful. Here are a few pointers to be aware when shooting for us:
- Typically we provide 1-hour of set up time in the *‘start time delay’* for the appointment but really we recommend being early and being set up 15-minutes before the first subject is scheduled to arrive. Arriving earlier to setup is less stress for you and our client.
- Don’t promise anything on-site in terms of retouched images/delivery turnaround. If you don’t know or weren’t told the specs, the best answer to to say “I will check in with the producer on the shoot and they will convey those details to your company contact.”
- We recommend that for you have a long lens, at least 100mm (ideally a 70-200mm) and shoot at 1/125 or 1/160th at f8-f16 at ISO 100-400 (Unless the client requested shallow depth of field, which you can tell when you look at the examples we send.
Once you have the lighting set up, the headshot/portrait is more about coaching the client, guiding them through poses and making it a fun, relaxed experience. Try to have a few jokes or funny stories on hand to relax the client and keep the energy up throughout the whole shoot.
- We like to shoot everyone from both sides of their faces and in a variety of appropriate poses. Because of varying heights we always like to bring an apple box with us in case there are very tall people, you don’t want to be too high or too low and shoot at eye level.
- Be vigilant about things that are out of place
- For women make sure their hair is not stuck on their shoulders, bra straps aren’t showing, their necklace is not askew. Always ask if you can “adjust” their hair, fixing means there is a problem but adjusting sounds fine.
- Always ask for permission before you touch anyone!
- For men make sure their suit is buttoned properly, their tie isn’t askew, hair and glasses are fine, shirt is tucked in properly.
- When people wear glasses make sure that you keep an eye on the glare and adjust the subject and light accordingly.
- The Schwab team has requested that **people don’t cross their arms** in these images. They can have them on the side/inside pant pockets and etc.
- Always shoot in **vertical orientation** and some sure the the fill light is sufficient (no significant shadows on either side of the faces).

[Orange Photography Portrait Guidelines](https://orangephotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Orange-Photography-Portrait-Guidelines.pdf "Orange Photography Portrait Guidelines")
Schwab has very specific guidelines on how they want their headshots taken. You can view examples of how many images to take per person and such in [this sample gallery](https://store.orangephotography.com/f713124642). Make sure to be shooting tethered to your laptop via Capture One or Lightroom as the assistant will need to use the software to tagged people’s names. Here are additional requirements since the document was created:
- When you’re working with an assistant, they want the subjects to make **ONE** selection for retouching. If they can’t decide between two images, we will make the one selection for them but it’s best they pick.
- Since we’re asking people to make a final selection onsite, some people may feel **rushed** if they are having a challenging making a selection. In such a case, you can ask them to come back at the end of the session to take their time to make the selection. We typically put in an extra 15 mins in your appointment time to account for this but if you stay longer than that allocated time, please let us know.
- The subject selection should be renamed EXACTLY to this format: **LastName\_FirstName.jpg** with uppercases in beginning. Failure to do this corretly will be asked to be redone.
- You will deliver two sets of images to our gallery system. First set is just the selections of images in JPG format in one gallery. The second set is in another gallery with all the rest of images in JPG format. Export the jpgs as full resolution from resolution you shot at.
- Steps to upload to our system
- Go to
- Login with: **username:** orangeaff **password:** orangetier3
- You should be in the **“Associate Upload Area”** (which you can see on the left side)
- 
- Select the appropriate year and quarter of the job
1. Example: Q1= Jan-Mar, Q2= Apr-June, Q3=July-Sept, Q4=Oct-Dec
- Create a folder with the Date and city of the shoot. Within this folder, create two galleries.
- Firat gallery should be called selects and uploaded the selects in that gallery.
- 2nd gallery should be named ‘all photos’ and upload every image from the shoot in JPG format into that gallery.

**Published:** April 12, 2024
**Author:** jack
**Content:**
## Before and During Event
Although we have extensive documentation, here are the top things to do for every job:
- Contact the onsite contact the day before to introduce yourself. If you’re running late for some reason, be sure to let the client know.
- Always arrive at least 15 minutes early before your appointment start time. Arriving right at the start time doesn’t give yourself enough time to get situated and the client will be more at ease when you arrive early
- Do not make promises on faster turnarounds/social media selects when requested by your onsite contact. Kindly ask them relay that request to the producer and we will update you – you can let them know if you think it will be possible if you know you have time but don’t confirm anything as we may have other things required for the job.
- Don’t bring an assistant/second shooter without clearing it with your producer/client.
- Don’t share images/details on social media.
In general, we are looking for 35-50 edited images per hour of coverage.
# Candid/Environmental Shots
Here are the top key things to consider for these types of shoots:
- Use a combination of **prime lens** and medium zoom for a variety of shots. Use flash as necessary but not exclusively.
- Shoot in your camera’s raw format and ideally with 2 card slots (saving jpg in 2nd slot)
- Keep **profile shots to a minimum**. Angle yourself so that there are clear face-on expressions.
- When shooting with flash make sure you use the flash to light your subjects but to also bring in the environment and capturing the ambient lighting/decor by leveraging ISO and shutter speed as well.
- Keep environmental shoots to about 10% of images (unless you’re explicitly requested otherwise) and don’t take photos of wait staff/bartenders/etc (unless they really stand out or are action shots)

# Keynote/Speech/Presenter Shots
Here are the top tips for stage/presentation shoots:
- In general, at least 5-10 great shots of key speaker from multiple different angles (more if they are on stage for 20 minutes or more). Always try and get shots of the speaker with background branding/logos/slides in context.
- Also get crowd shots, a combination of wide shots as well as shots with prime lens with people looking engaged.
- For panel discussions, wide shots of entire panel as well as zoom-in shots of each person on panel from multiple angles.
- For award ceremony shots, get at least TWO images of each winner. Connect with client to determine subjects are ‘stopping’ on stage for the photo. Sometimes, they plan for it, other times it is more candid.
- Refer to this complete galleries to see the quality from an entire event: [Conference](https://store.orangephotography.com/p811853532), [Evening Reception](https://store.orangephotography.com/p492108227)

# Post-Production Guidelines
Here are the top expectations for your editing process. The more mindful you are while shooting at the event, the less time you have to spend in post.
- Recommend a two round approach to efficiently produce desire results of 35-50 edited images per hour of coverage. First round, to cull images to find usable images. Second round, to clean up images and make Best Of selections. In 2nd round, if you’re not within the number of edited images goal, then here is where you remove questionable photos or add more to get to the goal.
- It is important to use cropping to clearly promote what is the main focus on an image. Cropping remove distractions and make okay image better. Only use 2×3 aspect ratio when cropping. Color correction should be done in batch (using sync setting in LR).
- Rate the best of images as 4 stars and they should represent about 15-20% of the edited images. Since many images are used for social media applications, the best images saves a lot of time for clients.

### [Keyword for conferences](https://orangephotography.com/photography/ratingkeywords/)
**Published:** April 11, 2014

## Keywording
In general, when you’re shooting it is best to shoot in sets of images that would make keywording easier. For example, if you’re on the expo floor, take a series of images showcasing the expo floor and then move on to taking ‘branding’ shots. For most instances, you’re probably going to be shooting a specific thing like a keynote for an hour and those images should be keyword accordingly. When you’re roaming freely, keep in mind on shooting images in sets so that the keywording makes sense and is efficient.
Here is how you should rate and keyword your photos when you’re shooting for us. With the volume of work and assets we produce for events, rating properly with the right keywords will help everyone find good assets faster.
For keywording, don’t apply keywords upon importing the photos from your cards. Applying the same keywords on all the assets isn’t as useful as applying a small subset of keywords to a selection of specific images. Keywording guidelines are broken into two areas, one for large conferences and the other for all of the other types of shoots:
For conferences use these keywords:
- City (can be all photos from the event) and Venue (can be applied to all photos from that venue)
- ‘Keynote’ or ‘General Session’
- ‘Workshops’ or ‘Breakout Sessions’
- ‘Awards’
- ‘Reception’
- ‘Team Building’
- ‘Entertainment’
- ‘Registration’
- ‘Expo’
- ‘Branding’
- ‘Sponsors’
- ‘Environmental’
When you’re shooting a conference, it is good to keep in mind to shoot in sets so that the images are sequential when you apply the keywords.

### [Best Practices: Group Photo](https://orangephotography.com/headshots/group/)
**Published:** April 11, 2014

## Before the Shoot
- Sign your invoice at least 2 weeks prior to the start of the shoot. Or if it’s a last minute booking where the event is happening within 2 weeks, you must sign within 48 hours. **Last minute staffing surcharge** of $100/staff may apply if you don’t sign for the project.
- If you are adding a group photo in addition to other coverage (headshots, a photo booth or event coverage) be sure to inform your Salesperson or Producer as early into the process as possible.
- Specify the number of people that will be in the group shot as this will help us determine what we need
- 10-30 people can be lit with on camera flash, but strobes can still be added for an additional cost if desired.
- For 30+ people, indoors, lighting with strobes will be recommended
- 50+ people: It will help if we can shoot from somewhere elevated (second story, ladder, cherry picker, etc. Additional rental costs may be incurred)
- Confirm that we have enough space to shoot. The larger the group the further back we’ll need to be able to get to insure that everyone looks proportional. For example for a 10-20 person group shot if people are seated and standing in a row of 8-10 chairs, we’d need to be back about 15-20 feet ideally. (A good rule of thumb is a foot per person so a 300 person group shot would be better at 300 feet away most likely on an elevated platform angled down towards people.)

## Day Of
- Your photographer(s) have been provided with the portrait details via the Producer and the questionnaire. They will touch base with the provided onsite contact upon arrival to the event.
- Have the onsite contact do a quick walk-through with the lead photographer
- Our talent show up 15 mins prior to the start of their appointment time, so this can be done during that time.
- At times, the photographer may have an assistant with them if there is a lighting setup, but they may also be alone. Depending on the number of people in the group shot, having someone who can help wrangle the group is helpful.
- A few pointers for the group:
- If they can’t see the photographer from where they are standing, the photographer can’t see them in the photo.
- Listen to the photographers suggestions and instructions, group shots are made more challenging when people are not paying attention to what needs to happen.
## After the Shoot
- From the proofing gallery please select the instructed number of images for final selection (retouching may be available at an additional charge) within 2 weeks of receiving the gallery. After 2 weeks, we will make a selection for you and proceed with final delivery.
- If a different turnaround time is important to you, please inform us **BEFORE** the job so we can more easily accommodate this need.
- Our standard turnaround on images from an event is 10 days, but we do our best to beat this. If you purchased one of our other turnaround options (24 hours, 3 days, 5 days) you will get your images within that time frame.

## **Before your Conference/Convention**
- Sign your invoice at least two (2) weeks prior to the start of the shoot. Or if it’s a last minute booking where the event is happening within two weeks, you must sign within 48-hours. **Last minute staffing surcharge** of $100+/staff may apply if you don’t sign for the project.
- It is important to fill your questionnaire out and be highly specific when answering so we can provide the best images possible for your event. Above all else, we will need an **on-site contact** name and cell number for the day of the event (our photographer with reach out to this person directly for alignment).
- Communicate to your producer any changes not already noted or discussed prior to the event including: time/location change, addition of posed group shots, expedited turnaround, change to the look and feel or shot breakdown
- Keep referring back to your project page (sent to you by your salesperson) to view:
- Your invoice, questionnaire, photographer’s contact info, and to view and download your photos after the event
## Day Of
- Make sure the on-site contact you listed in your questionnaire is available via cell phone for the photographer to get in touch with upon arrival (text is fine if the contact will be running around)
- If your event spans multiple days, please note that we may not staff the same photographer on every appointment, so it’s important that the on-site contact is available during all appointment start times
- Having the on-site contact hold or set aside a badge for the photographer
- If you indicated it in your questionnaire, please use the 15 minutes prior to the appointment to do a quick walkthrough with your photographer
- Now is a good time to identify any VIPs the photographer needs to capture
- Your photographer will document and capture a wide variety of shots including, but not limited to: speakers, audience members, environment, branding, interactions, swag, etc.
## After the Event
- If a different turnaround time is important to you, please inform us **BEFORE** the job so we can more easily accommodate this need (additional fees may apply).
- Our standard turnaround on images is 10-days, but we do our best to beat this. If you purchased one of our other turnaround options (24-hours, 3-days, 5-days) you will get your images within that time frame.
- Upon delivery, you will receive two links (both found on your project page). One will take you to an online gallery with the high-res images (good for sharing with guests so they can order prints, photobooks, etc). The second will take you to a gallery with download ready images (these are a smaller file size and at a resolution great for social media and online use).
- You have 30-days to make any requests about missing images or any changes you need made to the gallery.
- Use your Orange Points, fill out our post-job survey. Give us some feedback and let us know how we did!

### [Preparing for your professional headshot](https://orangephotography.com/headshots/yourheadshot/)
**Published:** February 1, 2016
**Author:** jack
**Content:**
[layerslider id=”19″ /]
To prepare for the shoot, dress professionally and have your hair styled and make-up done (unless you have included a hair and make-up specialist as part of your package). Some men find it helpful to use a little cover-up for unexpected skin irritations. It can help to practice in front of a mirror prior to the shoot to get an idea of the look/feel you want for your photo.
## Clothing Suggestions
- If you are receiving a headshot as part of a company package, double check that your organization does not have specific clothing guidelines or a dress code.
- Clothing should fit well, and be comfortable with minimal detail
Textured clothing is great—leather, denim, corduroy, knits/sweaters if it is allowed in your company dress code
- Avoid logos and bold or busy patterns (they distract from the face)
- Review the look/feel of your session and determine the background color for more direction in terms of what colors to wear and avoid – For example a white shirt on a white background may not be ideal.
- Layers (t-shirt, button shirt, sports jacket) look interesting and may camouflage a slim frame
- Choose jewelry/accessories wisely; Less is more
- If time allots, bring 1-2 additional selections of tops, sweaters, shirts, jackets and just a few matching pants/skirts
## What to expect in your session
Your photographer is specially trained to be a friendly liaison between you and your image and may help lighten the mood with conversation and even a few jokes. Some tips when it comes to your close-up.
Your headshot session can last from 5 mins to 25 mins, depending on the format of headshot session.
- RELAX – tension can be seen and perceived even through a smile.
- Stay loose and move around. Changing your expression, hand placement and weight on your feet all help to refresh your expression and provide a more natural capture.
- Consider alternatives to your standard look – such as images with your glasses removed if you wear them, or remove your jacket if applicable.
- Finally – HAVE FUN! Laughing, joking and lightening the mood, to an extent, can do wonders for a more natural look.
## How to select your image for retouching
Depending on how your headshot session was booked, the selection of the final image may be up to you or someone from your company. If you’re making the selection, here are some tips to consider:
- When you are viewing your images don’t focus on any flyaway hairs, lint or blemishes. Those are easily fixed when you have a retouching package.
- If you are having a hard time deciding on a photo we recommend getting a second opinion from your significant other or a trusted coworker.

[layerslider id=”20″ /]
## Before the Event
Review Your Video Questionnaire
- Sign your invoice at least 2 weeks prior to the start of the shoot. Or if it’s a last minute booking where the event is happening within 2 weeks, you must sign within 48 hours. **Last minute staffing surcharge** of $100/staff may apply if you don’t sign for the project.
- You will receive a link from your Producer with questions about your upcoming shoot. Please fill that out with as much info as possible! The more input you give, the more in-line your video(s) will be with your vision.
- Crucial Information we need:
- **Onsite contact** and/or **A/V contact** for your event.
- **Examples** of videos with the look/feel you like
Upload Assets to the Video Questionnaire Page such as
- Floorplan
- High-Res Logo–if you would like branding on your video(s)
**Provide the Following Additional Info for:**
*Highlight Reels*
- Music selection.
*Presentations/Speaker Coverage*
- Names/Company Names/Official Title for speakers or interviewees
- Font/Text Color Preference
- Presentation slides if you would like those edited into the video(s)
- Soundboard location at the venue (will there be an XLR input?)
- Videographer position notated on the floorplan
- Is eye level is important (is there a need for risers?)
*Testimonials/Interviews*
- Location for interviews (relatively soundproof space is ideal).
- How many interviews and how long for each?
- The videographer will need extra setup time if switching between coverage elements (such as standard event coverage b-roll and interviews)
- Do you want the interviewee AND the interviewer mic’ed or just the interviewee?
- Will you provide an interviewer or should we bring someone on-site to interview the participants (an extra charge)?
### Share These Interview Tips with Your Interviewee
- Remind the interviewee to look at you (not the camera or other people in the room) like you’re having a conversation.
- Explain that you’ll ask each question separately and remind them to pause at least 2 seconds before responding to the question (so we have more flexibility in editing and so that the question audio doesn’t cut in).
- To put them at ease explain that we’ll edit the final video and can re-record answers.
- Remind them not to swivel in their chair or use too many hand movements that could disrupt mic cord/ audio recording.
## Day Of
- Have the onsite contact do a quick **walk-through** and/or introduce the videographer to the A/V contact when they arrive for setup.
- For interviews, make sure to introduce the interviewer to the videographer so they can connect before beginning interviews.
- Let the videographer know if there are any **day-of changes** or particular VIPS or elements that need to be recorded.
## After the Event
- Edited videos have a standard turnaround time time of **14 days**, but we do our best to beat this. This 14 days is for the first review, so you can view the video(s) and make editing requests.
- If your editing requests are beyond the standard, we will let you know if we need to charge extra for additional editing time.
- **You have up to 14 days to request edits**, and the producer will remind you to provide feedback if you exceed this time. If you are unresponsive, the producer will archive the footage and videos and will **charge a dearchiving fee** if you would like to move forward with editing later.
- You will receive your final video(s) within 1 week after requesting edits.
- Your producer will send a delivery email when the final video(s) are ready!

## Before and During Event
Although we have extensive documentation, here are the top things to do for every job:
- Contact the onsite contact the day before to introduce yourself. If you’re running late for some reason, be sure to let the client know.
- Always arrive at least 15 minutes early before your appointment start time. Arriving right at the start time doesn’t give yourself enough time to get situated and the client will be more at ease when you arrive early
- Do not make promises on faster turnarounds/social media selects when requested by your onsite contact. Kindly ask them relay that request to the producer and we will update you – you can let them know if you think it will be possible if you know you have time but don’t confirm anything as we may have other things required for the job.
- Don’t bring an assistant/second shooter without clearing it with your producer/client.
- Don’t share images/details on social media.
In general, we are looking for 35-50 edited images per hour of coverage.
# Candid/Environmental Shots
Here are the top key things to consider for these types of shoots:
- Use a combination of **prime lens** and medium zoom for a variety of shots. Use flash as necessary but not exclusively.
- Shoot in your camera’s raw format and ideally with 2 card slots (saving jpg in 2nd slot)
- Keep **profile shots to a minimum**. Angle yourself so that there are clear face-on expressions.
- When shooting with flash make sure you use the flash to light your subjects but to also bring in the environment and capturing the ambient lighting/decor by leveraging ISO and shutter speed as well.
- Keep environmental shoots to about 10% of images (unless you’re explicitly requested otherwise) and don’t take photos of wait staff/bartenders/etc (unless they really stand out or are action shots)

# Keynote/Speech/Presenter Shots
Here are the top tips for stage/presentation shoots:
- In general, at least 5-10 great shots of key speaker from multiple different angles (more if they are on stage for 20 minutes or more). Always try and get shots of the speaker with background branding/logos/slides in context.
- Also get crowd shots, a combination of wide shots as well as shots with prime lens with people looking engaged.
- For panel discussions, wide shots of entire panel as well as zoom-in shots of each person on panel from multiple angles.
- For award ceremony shots, get at least TWO images of each winner. Connect with client to determine subjects are ‘stopping’ on stage for the photo. Sometimes, they plan for it, other times it is more candid.
- Refer to this complete galleries to see the quality from an entire event: [Conference](https://store.orangephotography.com/p811853532), [Evening Reception](https://store.orangephotography.com/p492108227)

# General Expectations
While each headshot shoot may have different creative expectations, the type of headshots we do 90% of the time is pretty simple from an execution point of view. Accordingly, your demeanor and professionalism will go a long way in making the project successful. Here are a few pointers to be aware when shooting for us:
- Typically we provide 1-hour of set up time in the *‘start time delay’* for the appointment but really we recommend being early and being set up 15-minutes before the first subject is scheduled to arrive. Arriving earlier to setup is less stress for you and our client.
- Don’t promise anything on-site in terms of retouched images/delivery turnaround. If you don’t know or weren’t told the specs, the best answer to to say “I will check in with the producer on the shoot and they will convey those details to your company contact.”
- We recommend that for you have a long lens, at least 100mm (ideally a 70-200mm) and shoot at 1/125 or 1/160th at f8-f16 at ISO 100-400 (Unless the client requested shallow depth of field, which you can tell when you look at the examples we send.
Once you have the lighting set up, the headshot/portrait is more about coaching the client, guiding them through poses and making it a fun, relaxed experience. Try to have a few jokes or funny stories on hand to relax the client and keep the energy up throughout the whole shoot.
- We like to shoot everyone from both sides of their faces and in a variety of appropriate poses. Because of varying heights we always like to bring an apple box with us in case there are very tall people, you don’t want to be too high or too low and shoot at eye level.
- Be vigilant about things that are out of place
- For women make sure their hair is not stuck on their shoulders, bra straps aren’t showing, their necklace is not askew. Always ask if you can “adjust” their hair, fixing means there is a problem but adjusting sounds fine.
- Always ask for permission before you touch anyone!
- For men make sure their suit is buttoned properly, their tie isn’t askew, hair and glasses are fine, shirt is tucked in properly.
- When people wear glasses make sure that you keep an eye on the glare and adjust the subject and light accordingly.

# Tether Shooting/Email Sharing
Here are some important tips when you’re shooting tether into Lightroom (for subjects to select their favorites) or for activations where guests can email the photos to themselves right after the session.
- Be sure to bring gaffer tape and tape down the cable on your camera and also the cable near the laptop port. This way, sudden movements don’t break the connection and damage your camera/laptop port. Also bring a MOUSE for the laptop, makes things go much more smoothly.
- If there are schedule breaks for lunch/etc, you will need to manage the line and tell guests who is the last person for that session. Best to communicate at least 15-20 mins before your schedule break.
- Recommend that people use their person email address (tell assistant to tell this to subjects) as sometimes corporate firewall prevent them from getting attached images in their email. Also, if people come back because they didn’t get their images, tell them to check their spam folder. out
- We usually recommend taking about 8-12 photos of each subject from both angles. Have the assistant simply select the good shots as the images are coming in so that when the subject comes to them, they just need their email address.
- The kiosk sharing program out a lower res file to the subjects and you can tell assistants that we typically send a follow up email a week later where they can download the high res file and order retouching (if it’s not include already).
- If a ‘favorite’ selection is required, have the assistant narrow down to best 3-5 shots and ‘recommend’ the best one as this process can slow down the queue quite a bit.
Watch the videos on how to set up tethering and use the kiosk use to share images.
# For Charles Schwab Shoots
Schwab has very specific guidelines on how they want their headshots taken. Please [download this PDF](https://orangephotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Professional-Portrait-Program-Packet-3-1.pdf) with the instructions. You can view examples of how many images to take per person and such in [this sample gallery](https://store.orangephotography.com/f713124642). Here are additional requirements since the document was created:
- When you’re working with an assistant, they want the subjects to make **ONE** selection for retouching. If they can’t decide between two images, we will make the one selection for them but it’s best they pick.
- The assistant should rename the selected file with the naming convention of FIRSTNAME\_LASTNAME.
- You will deliver two sets of images to our gallery system. First set is just the selections of images in JPG format in one gallery. The second set is in another gallery with all the rest of images in JPG format.

## Post Event Hosting
After an event, all the photos are posted a private online gallery where guests can see all the images again. They can order prints and share the images. Brands have the opportunity to brand this experience as well.
## 
Watermark and Layout
Placing a watermark on the image file provides maximum branding placement whenever an image is share in any digital channel. If the photo booth experience includes prints, your brand can be place in a number of ways on the print layout as well.
## Email
When email sharing is enabled, clients can brand the email header and message.
## Micro Site
When an micro site is enabled for your experience, instead of getting their images as an attachment in an email, guests are directed to a micro site to view their images. With a micro site, the brand can do more extensive customization as well as better analytics on the spread of the image/video when the guest shares it to different platforms.
[Click on this link](http://www.photosfromyourevent.com/1477/6jygq7/) to see the example of the microsite in a browser.

## Sharing Application
After guests take their photos, they use the sharing kiosk to find and share the images from their experience. Brands can customize the ‘skin’ of the application to reflect their brand.

MPI World Education Congress Conference
## Challenge
Meeting Planners International (MPI’s) national magazine was in need of revamping their image and freshening their perspective on their largest annual production, The MPI [World Education Congress](http://www.mpiweb.org/events/wec2014). Pulling together and designing an event for thousands of influential meeting planners and professionals is no small feat, and their implementation of an on-site, daily, professional magazine added extra complications to their workflow. Magazine editors and staff were pulling extremely long hours to pull together assets for the next day’s *Daily* and they were in need of a photo agency that could provide the professional images in an interesting/artistic way while providing delivery of the images in extremely short time frames.
## Solution
Enter Orange Photography and a five-year commitment with MPI to create a lasting partnership beneficial to both brands. **Orange and MPI worked together** to create a more stylish representation of the event, along with a team of photographers, editors and on-site producers to allow flexibility in staffing and schedule fluxuations. Coupled with our cloud-based online delivery system, we provided an all-in-one proofing, delivery and gallery system that allowed MPI’s entire team flexibility and fast paced asset management. Throughout the years, we have also coupled with MPI to create new, cutting edge photo experiences, including our extremely popular [Headshot Station](https://orangephotography.com/secrets-to-successful-headshot-station-activations/), which has since delivered professional headshots to over 900 of our nation’s top meeting planners and professionals. Debuting our state of the art on-site delivery system and high speed setup and shooting techniques at MPI WEC 2011 proved to be a high-stakes success, with each year growing in popularity and praise.
## Results
- Five year commitment/agreement for exclusive WEC coverage
- Team of eight onsite Orange professionals, including photographers, producers, and editors
- Comprehensive interactive online gallery, complete with organization of all events averaging 10,000+ new photo assets each year
- Headshot station serving 300+ members each year, providing a full service experience for each which includes on-site image proofing, gallery proofing (keyworded for each individual), and retouching of a final image for each guest

# Financial Services Firm’s Headshot Activation
## Challenge
A Fortune 500 ranking financial advisory firm was in need of creating a big splash at their annual invite-only conference, which gathers the best and brightest minds from their industry for this five-day, intensive collaboration of education and networking. They were in need of a way to showcase their VIPs in an interactive, comprehensive way while utilizing the opportunity to highlight a new marketing strategy. Orange Photography, being a collaborator with this firm for 7+ years, and involved in the photography strategy of this event for the last four, was tasked with creating branded 11×17 souvenir posters with a fully integrated onsite studio system. The posters requested were required to match the branding and style of their six-figure advertising campaign, displayed on billboards throughout the convention center, and were meant to celebrate advisor attendees by giving them a chance to “step into the ads.” Our job was to create an onsite experience that was high end, all inclusive and provided photography, design and printing services in a effective and efficient manner. Matching the brand’s look/feel and providing a seamless high-end client experience were of utmost importance, requiring thoughtful strategic planning.
## Solution
Orange tackled this intensive effort by bringing on a dedicated project manager to handle coordination of all stages, along with five photographers and four assistants, we worked in tandem with five additional staff from the conference’s marketing department to seamlessly manage customer service and brand awareness. In order to match the Independence Day branding and to ensure complete confidence in our strategy, the Orange team completed several test shoots, tweaking and refining the mock onsite process while creating both digital and print mockups for review by our client committee prior to the big show. Once the look had been confirmed, we created custom digital presets and workflow for the most efficient onsite post-processing and printing. Our pre-event online registration service also helped to control the flow of people to create a seamless client experience, as guests were able to make appointments and be introduced and prepped for their experience prior to the event. Once on site, we arranged a multi-station portrait booth studio experience, where attendees would receive professional portraits and walk away with personalized souvenir posters commemorating their independence.
## Results
- 3 portrait stations, totalling 54 hours of photography coverage over the course of a 4-day conference
- On-site processing and printing of 400+ large format 11×17 high-end branded portrait posters available for guest pickup
- Online pre-event appointment reservation service with email and text confirmations
- Worked seamlessly with our legacy coverage, 18 hours of candid photography coverage with onsite/same day delivery

## Challenge
A way to interact with and impress jaded, tech-savvy conference attendees while staying within the theme and brand of the event. The idea needed to be cutting edge, something that had not been done, and scalable to be available for the 20,000+ attendees of the conference. It also needed to be a welcoming, interactive installation that introduced the event brand to their audience.
## Solution
Orange was to provide a total of five custom photo booth installations at the entrance of the event that were specifically customized to fit within the theme of the conference. The booths needed to work seamlessly with the provided space and thematic elements, as well as move large amounts of conference traffic quickly, while at the same time being fully customized to each individual’s information and details, along with a specific color filter look that the client desired.
## Results
- 20 + hours of custom software development, including badge scanning technology that allowed for guest info to be automatically add to output overlay
- Six photo booth installations that were customized by client with fully branded wrapd to further integrate the experience into the event atmosphere
- 160 + hours of staff assistance on hand
- 4500+ individual photos printed onsite over a 5-day installation: Prints displayed various full-color “pop art” Warhol-type filters along with each individual guest’s name and conference attendance history
- Each use of the booth was less than 30 seconds

# Pixar
## Challenge
After delivering beyond expectations for the ‘[Cars](http://www.pixar.com/features_films/CARS)‘, ‘[The Incredibles](http://www.pixar.com/features_films/THE-INCREDIBLES-)‘ and ‘[Wall-E](http://www.pixar.com/features_films/WALLE)‘ wrap parties, Orange Photography was called upon once again to provide comprehensive photography arrangements epitomizing Pixar’s trend-setting reputation for the ‘[Up](http://www.pixar.com/features_films/UP)‘ wrap party. The event spanned two locations and hundreds of employees and guests. Logistics had to be managed to ensure everything ran smoothly and seamlessly including printing on-site, covering the introductory remarks and covering the party as a whole.
Separately, Orange was brought on to supplement the internal photography team at Pixar to create portraits of the staff for an internal publication. The style had to be consistent with what had been shot, and be coordinated amongst several photographers and shoot dates.
## Solution
Coordination of a team of photographers to cover both the preview screening at one venue and the wrap party was required to be managed by Orange. All photo elements were managed by a team of four photographers and two digital technicians offering roaming/candid coverage and two photo booth stations. Our seasoned staff seamlessly covered all event elements across the downtown Oakland theater venues (Fox & Paramount.)
Guests interacted with custom Pixar creative at photo stations throughout the event and the fun was extended beyond the wrap party with the delivery of over 800 onsite prints in folder frames.
For the internal publication, the Orange team was able to create environmental portraits of Pixar employees within the aggressive timeframe.
## Results
The breadth of experience and skills made this all work seamlessly and is something we love offering to our clients.
- Successfully covered both locations from discrete photography of film screening to wrap party
- Over 800 prints delivered on-site during wrap party
- Smoothly coordinated logistics for both the wrap party and portrait projects
- Portraits delivered in time and on budget for printed internal publication

## Challenge
Oracle OpenWorld is a massive conference with over 60,000 attendees, more than 6,500 vendors, and takes over San Francisco every year. The Oracle OpenWorld Conference Team markets to 15+ Key Partner Sponsors not including 200+ major sponsors. Orange Photography has been working with both internal Oracle OpenWorld Conference Teams and the primary conference production partner (Hartmann Studios) to capture the majority of conference photography since 2008. The conference has tripled in size since then as Oracle continues to incorporate sub conferences into OpenWorld events and a reliable partner was required to document all the elements of the production.
## Solution
Orange Photography was trusted as the primary photography studio to capture all custom-produced elements of the OpenWorld and JavaOne conferences for portfolio and catalog purposes. We also were a part of exhibitor services, enabling us to provide trade show photography for registered exhibitors and capture surrounding ancillary, awards and incentive events happening throughout San Francisco. This made us available to cover any last minute reservations within the conference. The total Orange Photography team included:
- 1 Project Manager
- 1 Onsite Operations Manager
- 5 Onsite Digital Technicians
- 16 Event Photographers
## Results
- Over 200 hours of photographic coverage were provided

# WWF Climate Summit
## ### World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) | Climate Change Leadership Summit
WWF partnered with Orange Photography to deliver a comprehensive visual strategy in support of a four-day climate change summit bringing together emerging leaders, advocates, and stakeholders from across the region. The program spanned multiple venues and activations throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, requiring a flexible, highly coordinated production approach.
Orange provided **full-scale photography and video coverage** across all summit events, capturing keynote sessions, panel discussions, community engagements, and candid moments that reflected both the urgency of the mission and the collaborative spirit of the gathering. Our team worked closely with organizers to ensure seamless coverage across locations while maintaining a consistent visual narrative aligned with WWF’s brand and values.
In addition to live event coverage, Orange produced a **cinematic highlight reel** designed to extend the life of the summit beyond the four-day program. This asset was crafted for use across digital channels, donor communications, and internal storytelling—helping WWF amplify the reach and impact of the event.
To further humanize the story, we also created a series of **environmental portraits of young climate leaders**, providing WWF with authentic, high-quality imagery to support future campaigns, advocacy efforts, and leadership spotlights.

# Gene X Hwang
As a Co-Founder of Orange Photography I’ve had a chance to shoot such a breadth of subjects that I feel it’s made me a more well-rounded photographer. From Presidents of the United States to movie stars and Olympians and Nobel Laureates and everything in between. I enjoy the challenge of being an event photographer where each day presents a new opportunity. The lack of control over what I am shooting keeps me on my toes and I love to adapt to whatever situation may present itself.
This may go back to my dream of being a journalist when I was a kid. I still approach my photography with more of a documentary angle. I also try to stay in the background and not intrude and my nickname in college (Stealth) still maintains when I am photographing.

# Claire
Claire Hart is a seasoned photographer known for capturing *the moments you plan for — and the ones you didn’t see coming*. Based in Las Vegas and always available to travel Claire has a gift for reading rooms, catching fleeting moments, and knowing exactly when to step in—or step back.
She’s photographed CEOs, brand activations, families, performers, and people who swear they’re “awkward in photos” (spoiler: they’re not, and she’ll prove it). Her experience runs deep, but her approach stays flexible—pivoting seamlessly from high-pressure events to intimate portraits and everything in between.
At the heart of it all is love. Love for storytelling. Love for people as they are. Love for the imperfect humanity, unscripted moments that end up meaning the most. Claire believes the best photographs don’t just show what something looked like—they remind you how it *felt*.
Because after two decades of doing this, one thing is clear: the best moments are always real—and they’re always worth capturing.

## Challenge
Bank of America’s incentive program, the Spirit Award of Excellence is hosted in locations on both the east and west halves of the country to reward their top employees a trip for a job well done. Folks who live in the east travelled westward to enjoy the fruits of their labor enjoying golf, tours, and more while the western folks travelled east to Myrtle Beach and South Florida. In all, there were **nine cities** involved to accommodate the entire program. This required having a **large team of photographers** who could capture many different types of events from awards dinners to the blazing sun for rafting trips or out on the Florida Everglades. Having a photography team versed in a variety of skills including doing on-site printing, candids, and posed portraits was necessary for several weeks in locations across the country. Coordination between the teams and the on-site staff also was critical to making sure nothing was missed, and that all the photographic assets flowed easily back to the A/V team and clients.
## Solution
The Orange Photography team, together with our Associate photographers, were able to staff each incentive program wave completely, and this included coordinating lighting and printing technologies for some of the posed portraits which had to be printed on site and delivered to guests. Additionally, coordination of the entire photography team was managed by Orange staff so that the clients and planners could focus on the award winners and not have to manage the minutiae of the logistics for each program wave.
## Results
- Client was able to turn to Orange for a single contact to manage the entire incentive program across all nine locations
- Used local photography teams as well as Primary Lead Photographers to insure smooth coordination for every wave of the incentive program
- Portfolio books were produced for every winner
- Each morning a new slideshow was produced overnight based on the best photos selected from all the photographers shooting the days events
- Same night turnaround on prints at the formal dinner were a hit
- Combined candid event photography, video editing, slideshows, portraits and photo stations into one engagement

## Challenge
Xprize is a non-profit company who strives to challenge the creative and scientific minds to reach goals that seem almost impossible. They take what we see and love in our favorite science fiction stories and encourage people to make it a reality. Orange partnered with Xprize and groups of Star Trek enthusiasts, to promote their most recent project, the tri-corder. Our challenge not only included finding enough Star Trek characters to photograph in our San Francisco studio, but to coordinate shoots at conventions in San Francisco, Las Vegas, and Orange’s first international location, London. Orange had to get consistent looking shots of as many characters as possible (including hard to find Vulcans and Klingons) at these varying locations.
## Solution
Once Orange made their connection with a San Francisco group of Trekkies who were gracious enough to don their best apparel and pose for the initial promotional campaign, the project took off. One of Orange’s staff photographers was able to attend Star Trek conventions in San Francisco, Las Vegas and London over the course of a year to help spread the mission of Xprize and their Tri-corder competition. Orange set-up portrait stations at each location and shot portrait after portrait of fans and celebrities alike.
## Results
- Over 5000 portraits shot in 4 different geographic cities
- On-site, real time proofing of each participant’s favorite image
- Guests were sent their favorite image in poster format listing the real-world and Trek disease they hope the tri-corder can diagnose.
- These same posters were uploaded to the Xprize site for marketing and the contest
- X-prize’s Qualcomm Tri-corder competition spread word of mouth over all locations and fans

### [Silicon Valley Bank](https://orangephotography.com/portfolio-items/svb/)
**Published:** February 17, 2017
**Author:** jack
**Excerpt:** 5 year engagement throughout the US
**Content:**
Silicion Valley Bank
## Challenge
Silicon Valley Bank provides banking services to innovative companies worldwide and was in need of a way to refresh their brand through updated, inviting imagery of their employees across the country. Specifically, they were in need of a way to streamline a look and feel that felt on message, while tackling the challenge of executing such an endeavor across dozens of cities nationwide. Orange was approached to partner with them to provide a solution for professional headshots. Our challenge was to customize our already-established headshot workflow and asset management to fit the needs of Silicon Valley Bank. We needed to not only match a look and feel their team had established, but also rework our delivery process, keywording and asset management to match what SVB needed. Additionally, we needed to get a system in place that could be repeated over multiple locations, in multiple cities by different photographers.
## Solution
Orange took the task at hand in stride by first establishing a game plan for what was needed by SVB, their priorities, desired experience and budget. Since the subjects would range from bank tellers to high level executives, it needed to feel personal yet efficient, providing a VIP experience for all involved. Their needs also required 2 looks, a natural, yet professional headshot and a more casual candid portrait that would showcase the human face of their brand. Our new process was first tested on a huge spotlight, at their 2016 National Sales Conference, a 3 day onsite endeavor that resulted in over 500 individual headshots and portraits.
Adaptations to our already popular headshot station, allows for a number of personalized workflows that fit within the needs of our partners. Each session starts with an online appointment system, allowing each executive to schedule their time with our professionals, while providing custom billing information for our internal contacts to allow for easy management. Orange staffs only the most personable photographers to allow for comfort and ease to the subject and along with hair and makeup services provided onsite. Guests are pleased with images that appear relaxed, approachable and professional. Each guest can review and share all images immediately onsite and select their favorites while on the backend, each image is keyworded for easy identification and organization. This allows for SVB employees to easily find their headshots within the SVB image database. Our process can now be applied across multiple cities, allowing for easy scheduling by SVB, and a streamlined, consistent experience and result.
## Results
- Current tally of over 800 individuals photographed across 10 cities spanning the nation, including Chicago, NYC, Boston and Los Angeles.
- Customized and developed an online appointment system for easy scheduling and billing.
- Established post-production process with customized files names, image sizing, and asset organization
- Streamlined the process to allow for time from session to full asset delivery in less than 1 week.
- Future expansion plans to provide in additional location with plans to represent in 16 markets.

# Workday
## Summary
Throughout the entirety of 2023, Workday partnered with Orange Photography through multiple production agencies to support a series of high-profile, large-scale corporate events across the U.S. These engagements required a consistent visual standard, operational flexibility, and the ability to deliver both experiential activations and fast-turn marketing assets—often under compressed timelines.
The partnership kicked off with Workday’s annual Sales Summit in Las Vegas, where Orange delivered **comprehensive event photography coverage** alongside the **design, staffing, and management of six concurrent headshot stations over a three-day program**.

- High-volume capture with a polished, executive-level look
- Real-time image review and delivery options for attendees
- Optional retouching services and post-event distribution

Assets were curated and delivered with speed and consistency, allowing Workday’s internal teams and agency partners to immediately deploy imagery across internal communications, social media, and post-event marketing.
As the year progressed, Orange continued to support additional Workday programs in different markets, scaling crews up or down as needed while maintaining a unified visual style. Our nationwide associate network, centralized project management, and dedicated producer support allowed Workday and its partners to rely on a **single agency model** for:
- National event photography coverage
- Multi-station headshot activations
- On-site logistics coordination
- Brand-aligned visual consistency across events
- Reliable, repeatable execution for complex programs

### *In partnership with Opus Agency*
Over the course of several years, Amazon Web Services (AWS), through its managing agency Opus, partnered with Orange Photography to document a **large-scale, multi-city summit tour** spanning major markets across the United States. The program required a consistent visual standard, reliable execution in diverse venues, and the ability to scale seamlessly from city to city.
Orange was engaged to provide **comprehensive event photography coverage** for each stop on the tour, capturing keynote presentations, technical breakout sessions, sponsor activations, and attendee engagement moments. Working in close coordination with Opus and local venue teams, our photographers operated within tightly structured show schedules while adapting to varying floor plans, lighting conditions, and regional logistics.
A key priority for AWS was **visual consistency across markets**—ensuring that imagery from each city aligned with global brand guidelines and could be used interchangeably across marketing, internal communications, and post-event reporting. Orange’s nationwide network and centralized project management allowed AWS and Opus to rely on a single partner while maintaining continuity across dozens of individual event days.
Assets were delivered efficiently after each city, enabling near-real-time use by marketing and communications teams as the tour progressed.
**Outcome:**
AWS and Opus benefited from a scalable, low-risk photography partner capable of supporting a complex, multi-year national program. By functioning as an extension of the agency team, Orange helped simplify vendor management, reduce variability across markets, and deliver a cohesive visual story that reinforced AWS’s leadership across the entire tour.

## ### Case Study: Pearson | Thought Leadership & Conference Content Strategy
Pearson, a global leader in learning and education technology, partnered with Orange Photography to develop a robust library of branded video and photography assets from a **three-day, 36+ hour international conference**. The objective was not only to document the event, but to strategically position Pearson as a **thought leader in education innovation** across global markets.
With a fast-paced agenda featuring product showcases, keynote speakers, policy discussions, and emerging technology leaders, Pearson required content that could serve multiple purposes—ranging from brand marketing and social media to blogs, internal communications, and long-term digital campaigns. The compressed schedule and volume of programming demanded a highly coordinated production team capable of delivering polished, engaging content at scale.
---
### Solution
Orange assembled a dedicated, senior-level production team consisting of **two on-site video producers**, supported by a coordinated group of videographers, photographers, and editors. Our team worked in close collaboration with Pearson’s marketing stakeholders to align capture priorities with storytelling goals, ensuring that every asset served a clear strategic purpose.

For Pearson’s internal teams and agency partners, Orange delivered a turnkey production solution—combining strategic planning, on-site execution, and scalable post-production—under tight timelines and with enterprise-level reliability.

**Excerpt:** Company Promotional

Good Data
## Challenge
With the launch of a new product, GoodData was in need of major marketing assets celebrating their corporate culture that could be pulled together quickly, all while adhering to their launch deadlines and already scheduled festivities. They tasked Orange with a one day Hail Mary to pull together both photo and video assets showcasing their latest technology as well as celebrating their internal company culture.
## Solution
With less than 1 week lead time, Orange pulled together a team of producers, photographers, videographers and video editors to provide a variety of assets for GoodData’s marketing needs. First was the use of our experiential Video Booth, offering a fun outlet for internal GoodData employees to sound off on their favorite aspects of the company, while providing useful testimonial assets for future promotional videos. The next building block was our natural, candid approach to capturing everyday employee interactions at the GoodData office. This photojournalistic style carried over to the evening product launch party and further shed light inside the hardworking and fun aspects of GoodData’s culture. This alongside our video capture allowed for our team of editors to create a truly unique video piece to celebrate their corporate comradery.
## Results
- 7 total Orange staff, including producer, video editors, videographers and photographers
- 1 promotional video including basic motion graphics, selected background music, employee testimonials, b-roll footage, etc.
- 1 gallery of candid & staged marketing photos of the office, employees, etc. capturing the essence of the company (fun, hard working, upbeat, cutting edge)
- 1 gallery of company party photos on a cruise ship
- 1 gallery of retouched and post-produced B&W executive headshots to match the look/feel of their other marketing headshots on GoodData’s website

## Intro
At Orange our team understands the importance of making a memorable impact with your events. Event Marketing is a great way to get your brand in front of influential prospects or enhance your brand to existing users. We’ve worked on national launch campaigns running concurrently in multiple metros to intimate ‘influencer’ events and we love to help you come up with ideas on how to best extend your reach and impressions, or just take your event and make sure it’s documented fully.

## Industry Veterans
Orange believes that for us to succeed **our partners must succeed** and, as such we have focused on making sure that the event and meeting planners we work with know that when you choose Orange, you are bringing on another important facet to your team. We understand that we also represent you when you recommend or hire us directly, and we work to strive that we **make you look good**.
This means both creating images that tell the story of your event for your client, but also getting photos of the design and decor for your own marketing and archive needs. With our strong social media presence we can also help promote your event (or keep it under wraps!) and have long been members (and leaders) of industry associations such as **MPI** and **ISES** so that we can continue to learn about your business while honing our own, and creating strong, lasting relationships.
## One Less Thing to Worry About
We also understand that as a vendor, you choose us to make your life simpler. We strive to do that by the diversity of services we offer, from photo booths, to portraits, to group photos and event coverage. If you’ve got a multi-city event coming up or a conference over ten days, we can scale up and down as need be.

## FAQs
### [When do I add tax to a package?](https://orangephotography.com/faq-items/when-do-i-add-tax-to-a-package/)
**Published:** April 22, 2014
**Author:** jack
**Content:**
We follow standard California business tax law and our standard digital delivery protocol allows us to avoid adding sales tax to photography services.
Tax is necessary with hard deliverables (i.e. prints, disc of images, etc.) and is applied to your invoice if such products are included. This includes packages that include print packages, a photobooth, on-site printing or any DVD delivery.

### [I am having trouble online. Can I just book with your salesperson manually?](https://orangephotography.com/faq-items/i-am-having-trouble-online-can-i-just-book-with-your-salesperson-manually/)
**Published:** April 22, 2014
**Author:** jack
**Content:**
While we do prefer receiving an e-signature, we can also create a PDF of your chosen package and receive a signature via fax or snail-mail. This option is much slower and more cumbersome and is not recommended for short lead-time events.
When working with a client that requires this step, the salesperson must first verify the package selected, choose said package within the client’s portal then print the contract as a PDF and send to the client for signature. The same rules apply as online booking in that the event is not considered booked until we have received a signed copy of our contract. Please be sure have the client inform you of when they are sending the contract back (especially if it’s mailed) as well as if they are planning to forego the online payment methods as well.

**Published:** April 22, 2014

**Content:**
You can definitely post them to your blog!
Our clients often realize the value of our delivered images as digital assets for social media/blog/Facebook web spaces. You can feel free to use the standard resolution images we’ve already delivered in this non-commercial promotional context and we always appreciate your use of the photo credit ‘Images by Orange Photography’ in the gallery/image subtitle, but this accreditation is not required.
Please inquire about our extended licensing options if you:
– may be interested in receiving higher-resolution files
– have found images you would like to use in a paid-promotional or commercial context
– need high-resolution images for editorial/press purposes
I’m available to chat any time if any further questions arise.

By default, US Copyright law states that at the moment of creation, the owner of the copyright is the author so Orange Photography would own the copyright but we often include a level of licensing appropriate to most of your needs.
As the contracting party you would receive our standard license which includes flexibility for non-commercial use. Extended licensing requirements only come into play when needing to avoid photography credits or for any commercial or paid advertising types of uses.
Freedom to use images on a company’s own website (and for promoting the next year’s event for example) typically comes as standard.
We can add extended licensing to your package at any time.
We us industry recognized PLUS for licensing. You can [find out more about PLUS (Picture Licensing Universal System) here](https://www.useplus.com/aboutplus/system.asp).
We can modify packages prior to booking to include these PLUS licenses:
Licensing (PAMM: Marketing Materials)
Licensing (PAPA: Print Advertising)
Licensing (PAWE: Advertising: Web/Electronic)
Licensing (PERS: Personal Use)
Licensing (PEWE: Editorial: Web/Electronic)
Licensing (PICO: Internal Company Use)
Licensing (PPCO: Periodical: Cover)
Licensing (PPIO: Periodical: Interior)
Licensing PLUS PACK: All Commercial Use (PRCU)
Licensing PLUS PACK: Editorial Front Cover (PREC)
Licensing PLUS PACK: Editorial Inside Placement or Back Cover (PREI)
Licensing PLUS PACK: Internal Company (PRCO)
Licensing PLUS PACK: Print Ad or Display (PRAD)
Licensing PLUS PACK: Printed Marketing Materials or Product/Packaging (PRMP)
Licensing PLUS PACK: Web or Electronic or Broadcast – Commercial (PRWC)
Licensing PLUS PACK: Web or Electronic or Broadcast – Editorial (PREW)

We do also offer “Work for Hire”/”Buyout” giving ownership of the copyright for all images taken/delivered for your event. Please be aware, however, this copyright transfer rate reflects the additional cost of purchasing copyright for all images. Should you accept a Work for Hire package, the copyright will effectively be transferred and you will own exclusive rights to all photos taken. No photo credit or licensing is needed. We can also offer a shared copyright option, but that is harder to coordinate, but is available.
Things to remember about copyright:
- Copyright is a property right.
- Just because you buy a print does not mean you have purchased the copyright.
- Under the Federal Copyright Act of 1976, photographs are protected by copyright from the moment of creation.
- Photographers have the exclusive right to reproduce their photographs (right to control the making of copies).
- Unless you have permission from the photographer, you can’t copy, distribute (no scanning and sending them to others), publicly display (no putting them online), or create derivative works from photographs.
- A photographer can easily create over 20,000 separate pieces of intellectual property annually.
- Professional photographers are dependent on their ability to control the reproduction of the photographs they create.
- It affects their income and the livelihood of their families.
- Even small levels of infringement—copying a photo without permission—can have a devastating impact on a photographer’s ability to make a living.
- Copyright infringements—reproducing photos without permission—can result in civil and criminal penalties.
