San Diego Photographer

On Tuesday The Right Light Photography was hired as the main event photographer for Eli Lilly and Company, one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. It was an absolute honor to be their photographer for their South and Southwest Conference of 2010 at the Sheraton on the marina here in San Diego. \

The event started off like most conferences or conventions with h'orderves  and drinks. With people snacking in the background it was my job to photograph all 16 sales teams in a one hour time period. Each team consisted of 10-15 people and it was on me to organize them in a symmetrical manner and get them all to smile and not blink for each photo. Each team was allotted 2-3 photos as time was of the essence. Once the team photos were done it was time for dinner to began and the award ceremony to follow.

The award ceremony was extremely difficult to photograph and I am sure many San Diego Photographers have dealt with similar problems. Being too close with a zoom lens was a tough one when having to switch back and forth between lenses for single and group shots. However, the job got done and was everything turned out great.

I want to thank the Eli Lilly team for being wonderful hosts and putting on an electrifying event that all attendees really seemed to have enjoyed.

This weekend the wonderful Lauren Marie (one of the regular models for the Headshot and Portrait Photography Class) was in dire need to update her photos for the small business she works with that throws princess parties for young children. Lauren absolutely loves what she does and she is a pleasure to work with. If you are interested in learning more about Lauren and her princess parties you can visit PrincessToGo.com. You can also view her some of the photos that were taken below.

The Headshot & Portrait Photography class this last Saturday was a huge success! The model, Lauren Marie was absolutely amazing to work with (as always). The students in attendance benefited from a great experience and learned what it took to use the available light around them and how to work with a model. More importantly they learned how to direct their subject and come up with creative ideas to use their surroundings to take great photos that POP! Although the rain forced us to move the class inside, we were still able to improvise and have a great class. To view all of the photos uploaded by the students click here or view some of the below.

This week has been a great week for The Right Light Photography. Today we received official notice that we are an approved member of the Professional Photographers of America. This is the largest and most prestigious association in the photography industry. It is a great honor to be associated with the PPA and we look to learn from other members and pass on the benefits to our clients.

This weekend was a huge success for the Night Photography Class. Jason Kirby taught another San Diego Photography Class at Oceanside Photo & Telescope. We had 13 attendees and covered the various different scenarios associated with night and low light photography. The first 1 hour and half was a lecture from the PowerPoint below providing background information and recommendations for night and low light photography. The remainder of the class was taught out at the Oceanside pier on what turned out to be an amazing night to take photos. We were able to take some dusk shots and even some fun long exposure shots. To view the presentation from the class and to get an idea on recommended settings for various scenarios please look below.

Today, Glenda York came into the studio to have some professional headshots taken so she can get back into acting into plays and theater. Glenda was a wonderful person to work because of her great sense of humor. We shot a bunch of different looks and got to use some new equipment recently purchased for the studio. To make the session more fun and upbeat we played The Beatles in the background. 


Glenda is a Principal at a local elementary school by day and an aspiring actress by night. She has a passion for acting and wants be on broadway before she is 70. I want to wish her the best of luck in her upcoming auditions in the next few months.

This week The Right Light Photography was hired to provide the North San Diego County Association of Realtors (NSDCAR) photography for their event at Twin Oaks House and Gardens. The event was held to bring in the new year and install the new board members and president of the association. The night was a blast to be a part of because of the western/cowboy theme they had. Everyone was dressed up and ready for a good night making it easy to grab some great photos of everyone enjoying themselves. The event was well organized and had some great ideas to engage the guests in karaoke and western theme photoshoots.
