San Diego Photographer

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.

eBoost Consulting issued a new magazine for the world of Online Marketers to read from and learn a thing or two on what is new in the digital marketing realm.

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.

This past week we worked with the US Navy at the U.S. Grant Hotel in downtown San Diego. The U.S.S. Lake Champlain was having a holiday party at the U.S. Grant to celebrate their service to this country and to give thanks for this time of year. We were honored to have been selected as their photography service provider. Our photography, Jason Kirby, set up a booth for friends and couples to have their photo taken during the event so they could document the night. 


The event was a lot of fun and it was certain that the guests were having tons of fun. I want to thank Alex, the man in charge of organizing the event for being a terrific host. It was a wonderful experience and everyone in attendance was pleasant to work with and it was a great night all around.

Last week was the grand opening of the newest edition to the iTan Solariums chain. The new store opened up in Mission Valley next door to BevMo and Coffee Bean. The Right Light Photography was there to offer our event photography services to capture the party as well as all of the new tanning and spa equipment they offer at the saloon. It was brought to our attention that this saloon is the largest tanning facility south of Hollywood and is expected to be one of the most successful in San Diego. 


We were excited to be at the event and photograph the guests in attendance enjoying their free food and free tanning that night. We want to congratulate the owners of iTan and wish them the best of luck with the new location.
