Sites In The City

Image
A page from the Bleuflamme site I've just shot 3 websites for 3 different Clients in the city. The Bleuflamme site is up and running now and, except for the "Bleuflamme Live" page, all the photography (including all the fabric swatches), and videos on the site were shot, retouched, and edited by me. The 2nd site I shot is a jewelry company and hopefully they will be live in the next few days. Once they are live then I can show the work I've done. And the 3rd site is for an Artist based here in San Francisco. Again, once the site is live I will be able to feature the work here. I continue to submit and sell stock images through various photo image sites. In August I also began submitting to Alamy . I will be doing another big push of stock photography over this coming month to ensure I have fresh images to keep the sales turning over. Here are my first and last stock image sales for the month of August.             First

Jamaican Winter Sports Hero

Just a quick post with some of the shots from my Errol Kerr shoot. These images were all shot at Lake Donner in Truckee, CA. You can read the story behind the shoot here . Errol is the sole member of the Jamaican Ski Team, living in Reno, and training in Tahoe. He is also a successful X-Games competitor. He made his World Cup debut in January 2008 with a twelfth place in Les Contamines , then in March followed up with an eighth place in Meiringen - Hasliberg . In the 2008–09 season he was thirtieth place in St. Johann in Tirol and fifteenth place in Lake Placid , going on to tenth place worldwide at the Skicross World Championships 2009 in Japan. Errol finished ninth overall at the 2010 Winter Olympics . This is the best placing by a Caribbean athlete at any Winter Olympics. At the recent X-Games he finished fifth in Ski Cross at Winter X Games XV . We had beautiful weather the whole weekend we were there for the shoot which in itself was lots of fun to do! Erro

Bollywood to Hollywood

I recently had the pleasure of shooting a portrait session for Dipika Parmar. She's an actress and entertainer and has had recent successes in the Bollywood film industry. Her latest release was PAPPU - Mr Intelligent . Dipika has also done a host of TV and film shorts, commercials and modeling. At the Crown & Crumpet I first met her when I took some candid shots for her and some of her friends. At one point they decided to have tea at the Crown & Crumpet and I did a whole series of shots for her at the location. I met the manager there who turns out to be British and had a royally delicious pot of tea during the proceedings. If you find yourself in Ghiradelli Square and you yearn for a real cup of tea - with all the trimmings, I recommend you drop in. Dipika is set to do some film work on these shores too and is busy back and forth to Hollywood at the time of this writing. She's a really bubbly, fun, individual and I wish her continued success!
