Commercial Photography
It is kind of amazing to write that this was already my fifth photo shoot with local DJ and producer Jason Kushy! Jason quickly became one of my most valued repeat clients, and I really appreciate that as his music career continues to grow, he continues to come back to me when he needs new branding photography.
Read MoreI first met Crystal (of Gaudette Law & Mediation) through various business networking activities around the Monterey Peninsula area, and then had a chance to first work with her earlier this year when she hired me to photograph the PG P.R.I.D.E. Great Taste of PG event at The Inn at Spanish Bay. So when she later contacted me about creating new personal branding photographs for her, I was very glad to have the chance to work with her again. I always really appreciate when people I know choose me as their photographer!
Read MoreI always like when Airbnb clients want to stage rooms, as it makes the shoot not only more fun and creative for me, it makes their Airbnb listing also more attractive and eye catching or potential guests. This Airbnb photography shoot in Seaside is an example of that, as Steven wanted to go well beyond simply getting the standard wide photos of every room and have staged photos as well. Of course, I still made all the standard Airbnb photos first showing the living spaces, kitchen, bathrooms, and layout of the property.
Read MoreThis was definitely one of the most unique photography jobs I have had in my 17 years as a professional photographer. I traveled to the Correctional Training Facility in Soledad for my first ever visit inside a prison, where I made than 30 headshots for Delia Cohen and Proximity for Justice as they prepare for TEDxSoledad.
Read MoreIt was great to collaborate with Nefertari for her branding shoot right in her therapy office for Heart & Mind in Monterey. She wanted to feature the office itself as the background for her branding photos, that also showed her as a friendly and welcoming experienced therapist. We found creative ways to show she works with children, by having a case of toys out of focus in the background, for example. We also went outside her office using some natural light areas in the building that resulted in a photo of her looking out into the distance that I really liked for establishing a therapist brand. Not looking into the camera for every photo is something I recommend to clients. Thank you Nefertari for choosing me as your branding photographer!
Read MoreAA Construction is still one of my newer construction photography clients, but I have already had the opportunity to photograph several of their in progress job sites around the Monterey Peninsula (including this aerial drone job site). The latest shoot for AA Construction was totally different because it was a finished, completed interior renovation, no saw dust to worry about getting on the camera lens! The renovated kitchen in this Carmel home required removing a wall and adding a clear glass divide. I showcased this new open space in a few photographs before showing off the work and materials used in the kitchen itself. Two renovated bathrooms were next to get renovation photos of with a huge glass shower in one and a free standing tub in the other to highlight. Thank you to AA Construction and Andrew and Mandi for continuing to choose me as their photographer and drone pilot!
Read MorePhoto shoot inquiries usually come from my contact page or by a phone call, but this one started with frisbee! Felix is a long time frisbee friend, recent summer league teammate, and someone I have watched live music with around PG, and who I have seen him play live too! When the band he is in needed a new collection of photographs to promote and market themselves, downtown Pacific Grove gave us the setting to create group branding portraits that showcased the full range of personality in the band and among all the band members. I was glad to produce photos that they can can pull from for upcoming performances, social media, websites, posters, press, and wherever else they need to visually represent the band.
