Outdoor Photo Shoot in the Bay Area

A few months ago, I collaborated with a French fashion designer on vacation in California, as she and her family explored the wine country in Sonoma, Napa, and even Cupertino. In fact, they discovered their favorite winery in the western foothills of Cupertino, where they found the very best wine that California has to offer at Picchetti Winery. Not far from Picchetti, we met at McClellan Ranch, a rural backwater of Cupertino, and played with different poses and outdoor photography styles, ranging from headshots to environmental portraits, from color to black and white. It also gave me an opportunity to explore different editing techniques and styles. Our outing was a great reminder that collaboration is one of the most effective methods for breaking out of a creative rut and trying something new. Thank you, Hélène Marquet!

Bay Area Headshot Photography
Posted on November 2, 2023
Two aspects of photography are incredibly gratifying: photographing a former colleague I’ve always admired AND seeing your work show up beautifully in editorial. Happy, happy, indeed. Thank you Edith Bendermacher for our collaboration. I especially enjoyed the amazing new office space at NetApp and chasing fantastic light on Santana Row!

Professional Headshots in San Francisco
Posted on October 24, 2023
Fresh out of grad school, I landed my first job at an advertising and marketing agency in Palo Alto. It’s one of the best experiences I’ve ever had.
Agency life leaves a mark. It changes the way you think, the way you plan and execute, and the way you interact with people.
A few weeks ago, I photographed team members at Traction, an SF-based marketing agency and consultancy. It was like going home again. I loved every aspect of it: the vitality, the banter, and the ideas born of minds in flight. It just felt so familiar.
Nostalgia aside, below are some black and white headshots we captured. I hope you like them.
When you have a second, visit Traction at www.tractionco.com. You may experience a homecoming, too.

Photographing creative professionals in a moody atmosphere with window light is my idea of heaven. You can quote me on that. I hope you like the portraits.
