Project Pink '11, a photo by fhfotos on Flickr.
It’s that month again… National Breast Cancer Awareness month that is… It was around this time last year when I was first contacted by one of the largest fashion bloggers in the bay area to come and support Project Pink fashion at Westfield Valley Fair hosted by MODE Bay Area. With great food, a great show, and great young talent including a handful of Designers such as Ann Taylor, Banana Republic, Betsey Johnson, and Franco Uomo, to name just a few of the many that were introducing the latest fall trends it was an evening...

Danielle Pettee: Catalog, a photo by fhfotos on Flickr.
I always enjoy working with highly talented people who are passionate about what they do. This weekend I collaborated with Danielle Pettee the custom dressmaker from SF. We put both of our minds together and brought to life a great shoot! When working with designers sometimes many of them come up with amazing and creative ideas, sometimes just a simple concept. As a photographer it is up to you to take their aspirations and to not only to bring it to life but to display their work to the best of your ability!

BlacMera Trunk Show, a photo by fhfotos on Flickr.
When I was asked to Cover the Trunk Show for the amazing Couture brand BlacMéra I was not only honored but extremely excited for this opportunity to work with such an amazing brand! Upon arrival I realized the beauty of the atmosphere and the quality of work that accompanied this. The event took place at Donald J. Pliner’s botique in San Jose, and the combination of amazing sushi (provided by Michi in SJ) and a one of a kind brand at a high quality shoe store made for an amazing night! If you missed it the designer...

Lissa Lew Editorial style shoot: the last drops of summer, a photo by fhfotos on Flickr.
The one thing about an Impromptu shoot is that you never know what you are gonna get. That morning I woke up all kinds of inspired as I looked thru dozens of images from a variety of places. I imagined the weather, the locations, but it can be difficult to get them to be exactly how you planned it. For me I’m used to having my plans changed on me, and having to completely adjust and rearrange my own plans. Flexibility, punctuality, and creativity are key for becoming a photographer....

Beauty + Headshots, a photo by fhfotos on Flickr.
I’m keeping my post a bit shorter this week. But basically I wanted to show a bit of my work I haven’t really posted until now. I’ve been working on my touch up craft, and it’s been a long process, but I’m getting better at postproduction. I can’t give you much help in this arena until I get a bit better and more consistent at this. What I can say is that when it comes to head shots I really try to capture the emotion of a person. For me when it comes to images of people, emotion is what captures the heart...

Mélange Fashion Show, a photo by fhfotos on Flickr.
I attended the Mélange Fashion Show on Sunday and it wasn’t really anything I was prepared for. Mélange is a fashion entertainment company that seeks to combine a unique blend of music, theater, dance, and technology on the runway. They embrace diversity and displayed those qualities as well showcasing models of different ethnicities, shapes and sizes. As everyone stepped into the San Francisco Design Center that night I’m not sure we were all prepared for what we were about to experience. The show exhibited...

Verenice + Juan Carlos Wedding, a photo by fhfotos on Flickr.
Weddings are always something that really grabs me. More than any model’s portfolio I can put out or portrait shoot, I find that weddings are such a unique and beautiful tale of a couple’s love story. This story was truly unique in how their similar paths lead them to one place where they fell in love. I’m more than just an observer at a wedding I’m a story teller, and the way that I observe and create are the two tools that I use to interweave story’s from one’s life into an image. My friend...

SF Shirt Co., a photo by fhfotos on Flickr.
So this month isn’t even over and it’s been a crazy one at that! I still have a half a dozen photo shoots I still need to finish by august including a wedding and I will have to say this has been by far the MOST hectic month I’ve had this year! Don’t get me wrong its been amazing at the same time though; I shot a fashion show, had my images posted and accepted into a handful of blogs, and possibly headed into print (woohoo I can then be called a “printed/published” photographer), I assisted in a shoot for a major...
