Shooting Sport Editorials (Part 2)

Almost every Bay Area climber know that some of the best rock climbing pictures in the world are taken in Yosemite, California, a mere 4 hours drive from San Francisco. But what do you do when your client lives in San Francisco and has only a few hours to spare for a climbing photo shoot? Fortunately the Bay Area boasts several scenic rock climbing locations, and places like Mt. Tam and Turtle Rock offer sweeping views of Marin, the East Bay and San Francisco. These images were taken for client Jameson and Jackson Search Partners to profile the outdoor lifestyle of company executive Claire Musngi.

About This Blog

As a professional photographer, the industry often pigeonholes us into categories such as portraiture, still life, landscape, wedding, documentary, lifestyle, etc. We get hired for our "unique style" and proficiency in specific areas of photography. I often find these unspoken restrictions and labels troubling because it puts a limit on my creativity. I get hired to do portraiture work, but I love to explore everything with my camera. This blog is a space for me to document and experiment with people, places and things that cross my path. This is a place for me to break the rules, and change my subject matter or photo-processing style whenever the heck I please. This is a place of chaos, where a coherent theme doesn't exist, and where you'll find me capturing "a little bit of this, and a little bit of that."
