Fashion Photography- Warehouse
This Sunday I organized my first fashion shoot, securing a great team and location. This was mostly an experiment in lighting, versus a commercial shoot with a marketing objective. Here are the shots and at the bottom are the credits.

Kelly and Glen decided on UCLA and Santa Monica for their pics, so I try to get new pics whenever I shoot at the same location (especially when it is the next week).
Engagement Photos – Caitlin and Sudheer
Today I shot Sudheer and Caitlin’s engagement photo session. We all descended from UCLA (actually I ascended from the bowels of the engineering hall, Boelter), so it was pretty cool to visit old hangout spots. Many of these spots were awesome for that midday college nap in the shady grass of a brick [...]

Milk Drop Photography
I’ve been experimenting with high speed photography, specifically with liquids such as milk.
Why I use Color Gels
I don’t care if you shoot in RAW. Color gels allow you to control the light sources COMPARED to other sources.

Locations: Walt Disney Concert [...]
Wedding Photography – Shara and Phillip
Shara and Jason had their wedding at the Centennial Heritage Museum in Santa Ana. I stopped by their home in Anaheim for getting ready pictures and the rest of the day was at the museum. The building is amazing in texture and character (a photographer’s dream).

Wedding Photography – Hannah and Kevin
Today I shot Hannah and Kevin, a Korean couple, at the beautiful St. Regis Resort in Monarch Bay. They brought in a Korean ceremony specialist that dressed them in the full traditional outfits, which took place during the reception (so they could still have a Christian ceremony).
And Judy rocked it with this image. The amazing [...]
Import Auto Photography – Graffiti
Tonight we did a fun photo session of a Z with Doug of Furious Photographers. Using strobes and flashlights, we busted out some wicked lighting. All these images have had only mild post done to them, specifically contrast.
