Light Testing in Tunnels, Treasure Island, and Sutro Baths

Engagement sessions seems to come in waves, so I better get ready for the next one! I've had a few requests to shoot in Golden Gate Park, Treasure Island and Sutro Baths, all popular romantic places. My beautiful friend, Jeel and I toured San Francisco on a beautiful, sunny day and tested all sorts of light at these destinations. I can safely say that after this session, we can control lumination nicely with minimal equipment even when conditions provide harsh or dimming light during the lovely golden hour. Here are our results:

Also, big thanks to fellow photographer Steve Nisotel for coming along to Treasure Island. He gave an excellent assist on Treasure Island by managing the bounce light so we could get the wide skyline shot. Check out his work here: http://instagram.com/s.nisotel

San Francisco Fashion Photography - Jump Shots & the Golden Gate Bridge!

We now joke that "gravity is boring" after shooting this set of photos that includes jumping! Jake wanted to highlight overalls that can be worn three different ways for her blog. I used a 70-200mm lens on my Sony A7 for these shots and tested shutter speeds when she was in motion. Check out the results! 

As a bonus, I got this beauty shot of our Golden Gate Bridge at about 4:30pm. Love SF.

Hafiza & Jason Potrero Hill & Dogpatch Session

I had the pleasure of shooting a fashion & headshot session with Hafiza, a gorgeous professional who works and lives in Silicon Valley and has a knack for art & fashion. We toured Potrero Hill for the amazing views that the rolling elevation gives us, plus the Dogpatch, a neighborhood full of vibrant color and incredible industrial styled textures. I used to work in the Dogpatch for several years, so it was nice returning for some good coffee at Piccino. :) 

Here are Hafiza's solo shots, followed by a few relationship snapshots that we took for fun.
