lugging lights all over campus…last minute rugby portrait
I was asked to take a photo of the UCI Men’s Rugby team’s new coach who also happens to be a professor at UCI. About 30 minutes before the shoot I loaded up my car with a ProPhoto 2400 kit and all my other equipment, with the help of my friend and fellow photographer Melissa [...]
Shocktoberfest 2009
I’m always looking forward to shooting Shocktoberfest at UCI. This year the concert featured Cold Flamez, Shwayze, and Gym Class Heros. Personally I though it was better than last year. Check out the slide show below…
No.1 team crushed in the semi’s, i get caught…Utah here we come
Last Thursday was the MPSF Semifinals for Mens Volleyball. The No.1 ranked team UCI was playing No.5 USC. I really wanted to get a direct overhead shot of one of the UCI players serving. I had gone up in the catwalks prior to the start of the game to check out locations I could shoot [...]

Keeping things interesting, shooting from above, playing with light
Last week I shot Mens Volleyball at the Bren. I knew that since I only was lighting half of the court, I could backlight the players during one of the games. The first game I shot from a balcony and got some standard shots, all on my strobes with a 300mm.

looking away from the action…looking for more
For once, I wasn’t the staff photographer covering the basketball game. I knew this was my chance to try something different. I wanted to get a new angle that I had never tried to get. Something away from the action. Something with a clean background. Something that people can’t see on their own. I had [...]
