San Diego Photography

In previous posts I mentioned that I have recently moved from the," Lady Northwest", Seattle,Washington down to San Diego,Paradise,California... I absolutely love living in this sun blessed region of our country and have taken plenty of pictures of its beauty in the last few months. As a Landscape/Travel photographer at heart I adventure around and ask questions about new areas naturally so a few months in a place and im a self -proclaimed tour guide! So I decided I should post a sample of what San Diego has shown me so far.. I know there are many many more sights to see and photograph but here are a few.

Building New Models Portfolios

I am currently living down in beautiful San Diego, California but my home is and always will be Seattle, Washington. This past summer in Seattle I worked with one of the city's top modeling agency's TCM models and Talent. I was used to photograpgh and build new models portfolios. If you wanted to become a model, the agency would set you up with me and we would do about a 2 hr shoot in 3 locations with 3 -5 outfit changes. The goal was to get a variety of looks to show Charlie ( the head of the agency ) what the model looked like on film. I started in kind of an internship spot but by the end of the summer I was getting 200$ a shoot. So Basically I went in knowing nothing about portrait photography and came out with a great notch on my resume and a lot of confidence. Charlie loved my stuff, gave me incredible advice and tips, and I left on great terms. I know Ill work with them again someday I really like the team they have. Here is an example of shoots of some of the guy models from last summer.. Thanks for checking out my blog again ! All comments welcome..

Nikki's College Graduation Photoshoot

Nikki is a friend who I work with at PF Changs in La Jolla and I am good friends with her little sister Tini. She asked me to take pictures for her graduation from San Diego St. University and so we did just a quick shoot in Pacific Beach. Her BF Anthony came along and so he was there get her comfortable because she doesnt like getting her picture taken. Im the same way thats why Im on the other side of the camera : ) However I think they came out great and she did a good job... by the end ( the pics of her without the grad uniform ) she was a natural model! Here is a sample of the shoot.

Angelia and Alana : Easter Shoot 2010

Two of the most Beautiful lil girls coming out of Oakland! This Easter I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing my friend Angelo's 3 year old daughter Angelia and his sister Alana. Both adorable girls with plenty of personality behind those perfect smiles. We walked the boardwalk in Mission Beach but ended up getting the best shots off of Law St. in Pacific Beach.. I had the girls in a purple flower patch for a few shots and leaning against palm trees for another, by the end they were lil' models for sure! Here is a sample of the shoot hope you like!

Fashion Shoot : Savanna Petway

I met Savanna in Las Angeles while visiting my friend James in Santa Monica. She is a cool chick who lives right in one of my favorite areas, Venice Beach and she models through Pinkerton Model and Talent right there on Sunset Blvd. She has a great portfolio from all over the world and currently she is shooting for a few months in Singapore. Before she jetted off I talked her into coming down to San Diego for just a portfolio shoot, I couldn't pass up shooting such a talented model. We shot all over from Balboa Park to Ocean Beach. We did around 8 different looks and due to cpu issues at the time of the shoot I only have 3 of the looks in possesion until she returns from traveling. Here is a sample of the days shoot.
