Anton – at Albany Bulb (Berkeley) | SF Bay Area Portrait Photography

HalinaV — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 03:18:44 +0000

I was keeping images from the photoshoot with Anton on my hard drive long enough. Even though one of the images from that photosession is featured in the banner of this blog and I have quite a few in the galleries, I’ve never put together a blog post with all of the other photos. Until now :)

I’ve never been to that part of Berkeley / Albany before, but it’s definitely a great spot to hang out and photograph if you want a nature + grungy look. Where is it? There is apparently a name for this place – “the Bulb”. Filled with man made sculptures, graffiti, scrap and a little weirdness – all that gives a real Berkeley look. Plus the view of the San-Francisco Bay… so much fun. Especially when your client=subject=model is easygoing and willing to try different things.

Shannon, you have some Rocking pictures here. And there are more to come! :) Merry Christmas!

Family members of Photographer (any photographer) have to suffer. They never get pictures on time :(( They have to wait till the photographer is done with editing client’s pictures. Sometimes they have to wait for months…. Well, Shannon, you are lucky! You just had to wait ONE month. I mean for this. But the rest… well… I promise, I’ll be done with editing the rest of the photos before the middle of January (when my school starts :))

Ewa | San-Francisco Bay Area Portrait Photography

I know Ewa for a long time. From day 2, since I got to United States. So we have a long history there :))
She now live in Connecticut and came to visit me and my family last month. We had a lot of fun ;) we went to different places together and of course I took pictures of her!

This next one set of pictures I call a-la “Sex and the City” style :)) I don’t know, I have associations with the series :)

We went to Treasure Island to see San-Francisco from there:

And here she was taking pictures of me… and having a picture-taking-training (almost), so we can work together in a team someday:

Do you want to be my friend?! Are you ready to jump for me? :)) not once, not twice… but many-many-many times, till I get enough shots, so I can make a small animation to put on my blog?! or maybe more than one :))
Ewa did it for me :) and she was wearing dress at the time! :))
She probably will want to kill me, that i put this animation on my blog (and post it on my Facebook page) but she is just such a talented jumper, that I can’t resist! :)))

so do you still want to be my friend? :)) you can add me as one on the Facebook or Twitter :)

Elena – (part 2)

As I promised – here more pictures of Elena from our shoot in Berkeley Marina. I really love those yachts. No, it’s not ours. No we don’t know the owner. But if you do, tell him(her) that they have a nice boat and thanks for letting us use it :) (I can send them a copy of the pictures :))

Oh, I’m so behind!
I have so many pictures to show, but I don’t have time to either edit them or write a post.
Anyway.
Here is Part 1 of the pictures from the photosession with Elena in Berkeley Marina. If you want to have a park+water+boats + nice view, than you should definitely go there!
Elena was so brave, she climbed to the yachts, pose, did everything what models do :) in HIGH HILLS!!! She is so brave! And she didn’t fall down (that is more important :))

WELCOME!
