Griffin Photo Workshop

Bill — Thu, 06 May 2010 03:28:13 +0000

WOW! Have I not updated any photos in quite some time. So I have a huge back log of images that I could be posting here and just not sure why I haven’t. So today I came across an old shoot I did with our good friend David Griffin, he supplied the models and we supplied the studio and lighting. Here are a few snaps I took, as soon as I remember everybody’s name I’ll update the post.

Family Portrait Session – Priya, Jeet, & Ajala

Bill — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 06:53:26 +0000

Local Long Beach residents Priya and Jeet wanted to celebrate their new family with some family portraits of themselves with their beautiful baby girl, Ajala. We even found a few good shots with the family dog to really round out the photo shoot.

They have a wonderful historic 1922 craftsman home which they have been working on for awhile now. So we made sure to include shots of the backyard garden with pond and some of the awesome curb appeal of the home.

Fantastic family, wonderful to work with and couldn’t have gone any better. Thank you Priya, Jeet, & Ajala.

NEW! High resolution video on Youtube.

Nikka fashion and headshot photoshoot

Just a preview from our photo shoot with Nikka the other day.

This was a great photo shoot which on paper should have been 2 hours long, but turned into a marathon 5 hour shoot. Worth the effort, as you can see from the image above, tons of great images.

More to come…

Model: Nikka
Hair: Jo
Make-up: Marlene G.

Set Photography

Bill — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 03:18:48 +0000

We just finished set-photography work for The Lenz Films (web site | youtube. Man did we put in the hours on this project, a little over 50 hours in 4 days I estimate. Worth every minute though, this was a great bunch of people to work with and hope to be working with them a little more in the near future.

Not yet able to release the name of the pilot, TV producers, ya’ know. Although I haven’t seen the final edit I have a strong feeling this one is going to get picked up fast. The cast was hilarious both on and off camera, the script was even funnier. Got my fingers crossed for this one.

Actor Phil Morris

Picked up a Canon 1D Mark III for the shoot. First impression, WOW. Without getting too technical this camera really excels in image quality, low light focus, speed of focus and notable the new variable ISO setting is awesome. More on this camera in another couple weeks after I have had a chance to really put it through its paces.

I’ll update with more later, just wanted to put a little something up for now.

ADT Holiday Party

Bill — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 04:52:58 +0000

Just finished uploading images from the recent ADT holiday party held at the downtown Los Angeles Sheraton. The event was produced by Cultivating Events, they did a great job on the event everything went off without any problems. In fact the event went so well that ADT has already asked Cultivating Events to return next year and do it again.

View photos from the ADT holiday party available online in our client login area.

This was our first time working with Alicia of Cultivating Events as their staff photographer for the party and personally I can’t wait until our next project together. Thank you very much Alicia.

Headshot with Bridgette

Bill — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 20:07:54 +0000

Great headshot session in the studio with an aspiring teen actress named Bridgette. Mom was so happy with the photo shoot that she had a hard time narrowing the selection down to just a couple of shots for reproduction. That is always a nice compliment. Thanks Bridgette and good luck in the business.
