I had the pleasure of photographing Hula from AJ’s Playhouse on Channel 933.
I was excited for this photoshoot because I hear Hula on the radio all the time and I know how funny he can be. Leading up to the day I was trying to think of fun and interesting poses I can get him to do. After giving it much thought I decided to let Hula just be himself. He’s already funny and it would be even better if it came from him!
Below is a flash slideshow of Hula in his GQ poses and then in his fun and amusing shots.
This happy kid here is Riley. He’s a child photographer’s dream; happy, smiling cheek to cheek, and random acts of posing for the camera. The key to keeping Riley very content is to let him loose in the biggest playground in the world! It was probably really big in his eyes, as if someone combined three different playgrounds together. Ideally, I love to photograph portraits close to sunset. In San Diego, the light from the sun makes portraits look natural and awesome.
Riley looked overwhelmed with the yellow slides, wiggly bridges, peep holes, musical thingywigs and distracted with other kids playing with toys he wanted. He reminded me of how I needed to hit the gym because I never thought that being a photographer would mean I had to be fit! I had to run after him a couple of times, cross bridges, slide the slide, etc.
In the end, I captured some lovely shots of Riley ;]

Many times I have done wedding photography and portrait photography against the sun and depending on how you see this situation you can either get bad pictures or succeed and get creative pictures.
1. Use a lightmeter..
To get a sense of what exposure you will need to properly light your back lit subject
2. Use your on-camera [...]

I had the pleasure of joining another photographer to do some portrait photography in his studio. Most of my portraiture is done on location outdoors because I love the scenary and the possibilities are endless. Another plus side is that I don’t have to spend that much money re-creating an outdoor scene indoors. A disadvantage to working outdoors is the act of controlling light to get the exact picture you want.
To change things around, my photography friend and I put up some background paper from Calumet that you can get for about $45. He had made his own background support that hung off the wall. Much cheaper than buying a heavy-duty background support which can cost over $100. You lose out on mobility though.
We worked on both white (high-key) and black background. What we found is that high-key portraits can get quite boring, especially if
I’ve started to produce higher quality image CDs for all the paid assignments I’ve come across. The process is fairly simple. In photoshop I set up the images I’d like to use for the front, insides and back covers.
What’s really nice is that I also have a template for the actual cd that sticks right [...]
As I promised, here are five awesome photos of Eli during his celebration. Isn’t he the cutest little baby you’ve ever seen? He has those large wondering eyes, looking at me and wondering what in the world I was doing with such a large device in his face. Luckily, he did not cry and just [...]
On July 26 2008, Eli Conner OCon was baptised at St. Gregory the Great in Poway. The church itself is absolutely beautiful, at least one of the most beautiful I’ve seen in San Diego. Upon entering the church you approach the Holy Water in a large stone bowl. It’s slightly over flowing with Holy Water [...]
