Portrait Sessions

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 […]

Here are a couple from a recent portrait session with Gabriela, at sunset in Bernal Heights. Thanks much to Myleen for the help and providing very important sparks for the sparklers.

Film (analog) and the romanticism of vignetting

2017-07-24T20:47:34-07:00By |Categories: Point of View, Portraiture & Headshots|Tags: , , |

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 […]
