Portrait session with Karen

admin — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 05:28:56 +0000

I just finished editing shots from a photo shoot I did with Karen-current UC Berkeley student and grad school applicant extraordinaire.

And I’ve been playing with a cool piece of equipment that I recently got-an Alien Bees Ringflash. These shots were lit with the ringflash at various settings.

While I can’t say I’ve completely mastered the use of ringflash, I think the results I’ve been getting so far are pretty good.

And getting someone as photogenic as Karen to model for you doesn’t hurt!

Karen, thanks for collaborating with me on this photo session!

Portrait Session with Dalyte

admin — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 23:00:14 +0000

I had the pleasure of shooting a portrait session with Dalyte last week. We were sort of going for “urban chic”:

Dalyte had “the reddest dress ever” and we happened upon “the bluest wall ever” so we just HAD to shoot there!:

Thanks for shooting with me Dalyte!

Medium Format Square 6×6 Portraits

admin — Thu, 15 May 2008 18:47:29 +0000

Here are a couple of portraits that I shot a few years back but I wanted to get them onto the blog. These were shot on medium format film (2 1/4 square, 6×6). These days I shoot with a 4:3 digital but I sure do miss the square format.

Lou and Laila had twins!

admin — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 18:51:32 +0000

Last weekend, my friend Elvin and I drove up to Sacramento to visit Lou and Laila, who recently had twins. Lou and Laila are great people whom I’ve known for many years (I’ve known Lou since I was in college and still remember the day I met Laila when Lou brought her to a Las Vegas vacation a group of us took). I always thought that some day, if they ever had kids, they would make great parents. And I can tell I was right!

Anyway, I really like how this shot of Laila holding Zoe turned out, I just had to share it:

She has the bluest eyes ever! I really regret not getting more photos of the twins together though.

Congratulations Laila and Lou!
