Eric contacted me to get some head shots and body shots done for his modeling portfolio. We had a great shoot, with 3 looks and 3 locations including Oyster Point Marina and the Embarcadero. Hopefully Eric will get some modeling work soon.

This couple turned out to be pretty fun as they warmed up to my unobtrusive style of shooting. Initialy I had to give them specific instructions on how to pose, and I had to remind them to be patient. After making a wine pitstop at a North Beach coffee shop things got a lot better. Here is the first batch from the day.

I met Ian at an Armani Exchange party where he was spinning. I offered him a free studio session, if he played at my studio opening party, he agreed. We both got a great deal, since I had a somewhat famous DJs spin at my event, and he got a great photoshoot. In addition to the DJing I also got exposure on the Energy 92.7 website, myspace, and other sites. I ended up giving him my deluxe package, 4 hours in studio and outside

This is another one of those shoots where I don’t know what’s going on until I get there. It turned out to be for magazine advertisements for a Napa high-end clothing store, Mario’s. The models were the owner, his son, and the 3 founders of the multi-billion wine enterprise known as Sutter Home Winery. The shoot took place at the Trinchero winery, which is closed to the public and their most upscale brand, I believe. The theme was from rags to riches, however I think that for these guys it was not ever rags….

These shots are from a shoot with a good buddy, Jason Knight. Jason is a brilliant producer/DJ in the vibrant San Francisco DJ scene. His site is djjasonknight.com We took 4 hours, driving around SF taking 20 usable shots, here are a few.

When I heard that Matisyahu was doing a $20 concert at Ruby Skye, I could not believe it. When I got there an hour before the show, there was a line to the end of the block, with all the tickets sold out. I had my camera, but still had trouble getting in. It was horrible, I spent 3 hours in the rain waiting. Then my a miracle happened, my friend came out with a cut wristband. I secured it with some tape, and in I went. Needless to say, being on stage during the performance was a lot of fun.
