United Tire Alignment {commercial photoshoot}

Last May, the friendliest & most professional car shop hired me for a photoshoot! (yep, I don’t just photograph weddings, engagements and babies. I enjoy a good mix of photoshoots!)

United Tire Alignment is the best because of the amazing ownership and professionalism of Nova and his family. I live in West LA area and I drive 40 minutes to N. Hollywood get my oil changed from Nova every 3 months. I do this because I  trust him 100% and that’s huge in the car industry! I recently got new tires from them and thanks to Nova, my Honda Element glides now!  I highly recommend them.. check their fabulous review on YELP.

Here are my favorite shots from our session. Soon they will be up on their website!

Commercial Photoshoot : Solar Panels Tearsheet

I am definitely a proud WEDDING & PORTRAIT photographer. However, during my off-season throughout 2009, I have traveled all over California to capture huge solar panel structures for a world-wide company called Sunpower. The global, photography production company, OnRequest Images has hired me for 8 shoots so far and I couldn’t be happier with all the results. I have climbed 55 ft ladders, operated 60′ cherry pickers, climbed on uneven rooftops and drove many, many miles to document these amazing solar panels. Slowly but surely, my fear of heights are dissipating. I’ve come to love photographing Solar Panels. I feel like I am part of the clean energy movement and that, I tell ya, is very satisfying. Plus, there’s something so calm about being 60 feet high surrounded by the nature. Here are some scans of  tearsheets and a few shots of me in action!
