Joshua Tree Photo Shoot

KerryG — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 23:43:43 +0000

I got a call this week from my friend Rick Miller from Adobe who is working with David Montizambert on a new lighting DVD that they were going out to Joshua Tree National Park to get some shots and setups for using homemade diffusion light panels from PVC and nylon sheets. Never wanting to pass up a chance to shoot with someone like David, I jumped at the chance. Not only did we get all the stuff David needed the segment he was working on, we all switched around taking turns shooting and holding the lights and panels for each other. The following are some of my favorite shots from the day.

Taylor Thorne Portrait Shoot

Its always fun to step out of the day to day grind and do something that is both fun and creative. Taylor wanted to do some portraits that were very classical looking, which happens to be my favorite style, so I jumped at the chance to setup some traditional lighting and make some awesome images.

Peter and Lilliana Wedding

KerryG — Sun, 19 Apr 2009 01:54:36 +0000

YesterdayI got the pleasure of shooting a nice, intimate ceremony and after-party for Peter and Lilliana. Starting at St. John The Babtist church in Costa Mesa and then heading over to a parent’s house for a little party and some shots out on the gold course. Everyone was a joy to work with and were all a lot of fin to work with. Best wishes to them as they start their new lives together.

Hayley Headshot Shoot

Hayley has a casting call this week and needed a simple headshot. But, of course, I went overboard and shot tons of images because she was so much fun to work with. We ended up with a ton of images for her to choose from and I am putting some of my favorites here. Good luck on your casting call Hayley!!

Now Offering Willowbook Sequoia photo albums

KerryG — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 00:33:27 +0000

I have really been struggling with trying to find the right balance of quality and price for photo albums for my clients and have finally decided to make the WillowBook albums the primary album product that we will be offering clients. The sample album just came in and I am quite impressed with the quality of the images, the binding, and the leather cover. This is a nice quality album at an affordable price point.

Leather cover with nice edging

Page edge detail

Faithful image reproduction

Nice modern design and layout

Pricing for these does depend on how many pages and images are used but a typical album (10″x10″) with 24 sides and up to 50 images with the leather cover and two lines of imprinting will run $525.00 and the 12″x12″ version will run $650.00. Additional pages can be added at a cost of about $15 per page.

Leah and Darrel Wedding

KerryG — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 23:15:10 +0000

I have been waiting for this wedding for quite a while as I have worked with Leah before as she is a coordinator and one half of The DoubleKnot Twins. For this wedding I shot alongside David Esquire (Esquire Photography) at the beautiful Diamond Bar Center.

What a fantastic day it was even though all week it threatened to dampen the festivities with some rain. Well, it did rain, but only early in the morning and was clear by the time the wedding time came around.

I want to wish Leah and Darrel and the happiness in the world, they are two terrific people who are obviously very much in love and deserve all the best. It was my distinct pleasure to be asked to shoot this wedding for them.

Kerry guests on Aaron Dieppa’s The Big Picture Part II

KerryG — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 17:28:09 +0000

In this episode, Kerry and Aaron discuss the current trend of “transparency” and putting yourself “out there” and how this is changing how we communicate with our clients and our peers. This is a very interesting discussion. For more of Aaron’s The Big Picture video blog, go visit http://aarondieppa.com.

Guest on Aaron Dieppa’s The Big Picture

KerryG — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 05:58:27 +0000

For those of you who haven’t heard about Aaron Dieppa, he is an Orange County photographer who came up with an insane idea to try to do a daily video blog for an entire year. To say that he has taken on quite a challenge is an understatement but he has been doing a great job so far. Be sure and check out The Big Picture at http://www.aarondieppa.com for all the back (and future) espisodes. This week however, I am thrilled that Aaron asked me to be a guest on the show and we talked for quite a while about Camera Dojo and the industry, so much so that he needed to break it up into three shows.

Here is this today’s episiode featuring me as the guest.
