I shoot many events, and have gotten lucky with a few killer referrals. However, this is one of those events where I am flabbergasted at even the thought of being invited to shoot such an evening. The sold out event was to raise money for the guest of honor, Angela Bofill. Carlos Santana, Bonnie Raitt, Narada Michael Walden, Mary Wilson and other great musicians. The photos are destined to probably end up in SF Chronicle, Jet and some other publications.

I got a chance to take some cool shots of Splyce, in an attempt to perfect my DJ shooting techiques. I set up 2 flashes, one on camera, and one off to the side to create a hard light effect. DJ Splyce is well known, especialy in LA area…here are the pics:

Ok, so I have not written for a while, that’s because I’ve been doing shoots and getting down with photoshop. I had another shoot with Pamela, this time with a make up artist at the Rock-it Room in San Francisco. The owner of the venue is a cool guy named Marco, and he was nice enough to let us do a professional photo shoot at his venue. The make up artist, Lauren Warner is awesome, and I had the pleasure of working with her on the Mouth to Mouth Shoot a year ago. For this shoot we went with the more rock and roll approach and so far in the post, its looking like what’s intended.  Here are a few shots:

I got a call from a record label to get some promo shots for an awesome singer/musician, Pamela Carter. Not only is she good looking, but her music and voice are great too. I got to enjoy the guitar during the shoot, which was a nice touch. We decided to go to a farm I have access to, and then a quick pit stop at my studio, all in a day’s work. These re the seleceted few.
