Here is a video from Matt’s proposal to Meghan. I am all done with the images, and these are the best ones from the proposal, photo walk, and family brunch.

I was interviewed by a writer for the SF Examiner a little while ago, and the article just got published. It mailnly focuses on my music photography and my approach. I am very excited to have this honor. The article link is bellow:

Miguel and Audrey were a great couple to work with. With Miguel, being a serious model it was easy to get the couple relaxed for the camera. The photos reflect my general shooting style of capturing the feelings that are already there. Even though it was raining that day, we decided to go through with the shoot anyway. We were all glad we did, since the images would not be as unique without the rain. I include engagement sessions in all my weddings in order to get acquainted with the couple. Come wedding day we are all relaxed and have a great connection, which is vital for capturing breath taking images.

San Francisco Event Photography by Gene Kosoy

I got a few interior gigs lined up this month. I finished up one assignment of a very unique new spot in San Francisco. It has a maritime charm, drinks with absinthe and private liqour lockers. Designer’s name is Lauren Geremia who was on site to make the place look perfect.

I’ve traveled my fair share, but this last two week excursion to India was anything but ordinary. I had a blast with the people I went and ones we met along the way. The locals were the friendliest people I’ve ever met, and the beauty of even the somewhat polluted Bombay was overwhelming to the point of us almost staying indefinitely. Inadvertently I even ended up shooting a few weddings. Eventually the responsibilities of our Western lives outweighed the pleasures of staying so here I am, back in San Francisco.

Weather was perfect at this year’s Lovefest, a tradition which stated in 2004. In its 3rd year the event drew over 65,000 people and tons of DJs with a party that started at 12pm on Saturday and just kept going through Sunday night at various parties all around the city. This year I decided to go under the radar and freelance for my buddies at metrowize.com Their high profiles sponsorship at the event made more sense for me to put down my phatcatphoto hat, and give them the best exposure with my photos. The event was great, although I did not keep track of which DJ was playing where, going from one stage to the next. The experience was amplified by a bit of pre partying, getting away from the sun at our friend Jason Knight’s place, located not too far from the Civic Center. As always, I don’t like to go into too many details, and give my photos a voice, enjoy!
