1Paradise Valley Golf Course
Teaser Video Promo
A cinematic teaser capturing the inviting atmosphere of Paradise Valley Golf Course. Lush fairways, sunlight, and engaging golfer moments were highlighted to promote the course’s beauty and charm in under 2 minutes.
Project Overview
This promotional video was crafted to elevate the course’s digital footprint through immersive, cinematic storytelling. The visuals aimed to convey a sense of serenity, sophistication, and adventure welcoming new visitors while rekindling the excitement for returning players. The narrative centered around the course’s defining features: pristine greens, tranquil water features, and the vibrant social atmosphere of the clubhouse. Every frame was designed to capture the lifestyle, not just the landscape—positioning the course as both a premier golf destination and a community hub.
Shooting Conditions
Filming took place under optimal natural lighting conditions, timed to capture golden-hour tones and the subtle interplay of soft shadows and warm highlights. This approach provided depth, richness, and a cinematic quality without the need for artificial light sources. Every shot was carefully timed to leverage the sun’s movement—enhancing textures in the grass, glints off the water, and the welcoming ambiance of the clubhouse.
Technical Approach
Three core tools were used to deliver a dynamic, polished final product. The DJI Osmo Pocket offered fluid, mobile tracking shots that brought viewers into the scene, mimicking a golfer’s perspective. The Canon 90D provided high-resolution imagery for detail-rich ground-level footage—ideal for showcasing course textures and player golfing. The DJI Mini 4 Pro drone elevated the visual scope, offering smooth, sweeping aerial shots that highlighted the scale and layout of the course.
"The result is a fast-paced, visually elegant showcase—a cinematic window into a golfer’s paradise. It invites viewers not just to see the course, but to experience the feeling of playing on it."

2Champion's Glory
Five-Time Champion Portrait Session
An intense portrait session celebrating King Isaiah's remarkable achievement of holding five championship belts, including his most recent victory against the prestigious Canelo team in Mexico. This powerful shoot captured the raw determination, technical precision, and unwavering spirit that defines a true champion. Dramatic lighting and dynamic compositions showcased both the athlete's physical prowess and the emotional journey behind each hard-earned title.
Project Overview
This boxing portrait session documented a rising champion fresh from his victory against the Canelo team in Mexico, proudly displaying his collection of five championship belts. The shoot combined traditional boxing portraiture with modern sports photography techniques, capturing both the fighter's technical skills in the ring and intimate moments with his hard-earned hardware. Shot at the lighthouse in the marina, we utilized a studio light with a diffuser and a reflector to capture the character while creating clean, powerful compositions that emphasized the boxer's achievements and dedication to his craft.
Shooting Conditions
The session took place in complete darkness at night in an waterfront marina, creating extremely challenging lighting conditions with no available ambient light. The pitch-black environment required us to create all illumination from scratch, relying entirely on artificial lighting to sculpt the scene. This darkness actually became an advantage, allowing for complete control over light direction and intensity to create dramatic, high-contrast portraits that emphasized the boxer's powerful physique and the gleaming championship belts.
Technical Approach
Working with minimal equipment in the complete darkness, I used a single studio light paired with a reflector to create dramatic lighting effects. The Canon 90D with a 24-70mm f/2.8 lens provided the versatility needed to capture both wide environmental shots and tighter portraits without changing lenses in the dark conditions. The single light setup required careful positioning to achieve proper exposure on both the subject and his championship belts, while the reflector helped fill shadows and add dimension. The darkness allowed for clean backgrounds and precise control over every element in the frame, creating powerful, professional boxing portraits despite the challenging conditions.
"The goal was to document not just the technical aspects of riding, but the emotional connection built over years of trust between horse and rider during their final days competing together."
Client Feedback
The rider's response to the final images was overwhelmingly positive. In her words: "OMG thank you!! You are amazing... it was really fun working with you." She emphasized that the photos were "perfect" just as they were, requiring no additional edits or enhancements. The natural, authentic quality of the images successfully captured the genuine relationship with her horse, providing exactly what she had hoped for from the session.

3Legacy Fulfilled
SDSU Computer Science Graduation
A heartwarming graduation portrait session celebrating Deanna's achievement of earning her Computer Science degree from San Diego State University, following in her mother's footsteps as an SDSU alumna. This meaningful shoot captured the pride, accomplishment, and family legacy embodied in this milestone moment. The session balanced traditional graduation portraiture with personal touches that honored both her academic journey and the generational connection to the university.
Project Overview
This graduation portrait session documented Deanna's completion of her Computer Science degree at San Diego State University, marking a special family milestone as she followed in her mother's footsteps to become an SDSU alumna. The shoot combined classic graduation photography with personalized elements that celebrated both her academic achievements and the meaningful family connection to the university. Shot across various iconic campus locations, we focused on capturing the joy and pride of this significant accomplishment while creating timeless portraits that would serve as lasting memories of this pivotal moment.
Shooting Conditions
The session took place during a bright San Diego afternoon with intense California sun creating challenging high-contrast lighting conditions. The harsh overhead sunlight produced strong shadows and hot spots that required careful management to achieve flattering portraits. We strategically positioned shots to work with the available shade from campus buildings and trees, while using the bright conditions to our advantage for vibrant, energetic images that captured the sunny California atmosphere of graduation day.
Technical Approach
Working in the bright San Diego sun, I used a Canon 90D with a 24-70mm f/2.8 lens paired with a single diffuser to manage the harsh lighting conditions. The diffuser was essential for softening the intense sunlight and eliminating unflattering shadows on Deanna's face during close-up portraits. The versatile zoom range allowed for both wide environmental shots showcasing the beautiful SDSU campus and intimate graduation portraits without needing to change lenses. Careful positioning and timing helped us work with the natural light while the diffuser provided the control needed to create professional, flattering results despite the challenging bright conditions.
"The goal was to capture not just a graduation, but the fulfillment of a family legacy and the beginning of a bright future in Computer Science."
Client Feedback
Deanna's response to the final images was overwhelmingly enthusiastic. She was extremely happy with the work and was so pleased with the results that she purchased prints to commemorate this special milestone. The portraits successfully captured both the formal significance of her graduation and the personal joy of achieving this important goal while honoring her family's connection to SDSU. The images provided her with beautiful keepsakes that perfectly documented this meaningful moment in her academic and personal journey.

4Future All-Star
Little League Giants Portrait Session
A golden hour photo session spotlighting Ceaser in his Little League Giants uniform. This shoot captured the passion, energy, and excitement of youth baseball through a mix of posed and candid moments. The session celebrated the joy of the game and Ceaser's pride as a young athlete, set against the warm backdrop of a glowing Bay Area evening.
Project Overview
This session focused on creating a set of impactful baseball portraits for Ceaser, a young player on the Little League Giants team. We blended authentic baseball energy with cinematic poses to deliver memorable imagery that celebrated Ceaser's love for the game. The field setting, gear, and Ceaser’s confident attitude came together for a simple yet powerful storytelling shoot.
Shooting Conditions
Shot during peak golden hour, the lighting was ideal—warm, soft, and dramatic. The natural sunlight added depth, glow, and vibrant tones to every frame without the need for artificial modifiers. The weather was clear with no harsh shadows, allowing for optimal control and flexibility in capturing high-quality portraits.
Technical Approach
I used a Canon 90D paired with a 24-70mm f/2.8 lens—no flash or reflectors. The sharpness and versatility of the lens made it easy to switch between wide shots of the field and close-up action portraits. We incorporated some lightly scripted poses to add variety and intention to the gallery while maintaining a natural feel throughout.
"The goal was to make Ceaser feel like an MVP—confident, proud, and ready for the big leagues."
Client Feedback
Ceaser and his family were thrilled with the final images. They appreciated how the photos captured his personality and spirit as a player. The portraits are now proudly displayed in their home and shared with family and friends to celebrate his season with the Giants.

5WRX on the Road
Bay Area Automotive & Portrait Shoot
A midday shoot featuring Daniel's WRX along the scenic stretch of Canada Road in the Bay Area. With a bright, clean backdrop and minimal traffic, the shoot focused on capturing both detailed automotive shots and a single clean portrait. The session balanced action and stillness, speed and shine—highlighting the spirit of the WRX.
Project Overview
This shoot spotlighted Daniel’s WRX in natural light along a wide, clean road known for car cruises. We captured side profiles, rolling shots, and a few detailed frames. A quick portrait was included to personalize the experience and showcase both the driver and the machine.
Shooting Conditions
Bright, sunny conditions with no clouds. Natural light was strong, creating crisp shadows and high contrast. We adjusted angles and positioning to avoid harsh glare and keep details visible in both the car’s highlights and dark accents.
Technical Approach
Shot with a Canon 90D + 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 and Canon M50 + 15-45mm f/3.5-6.3 lenses. These combinations allowed flexibility in framing and distance. Quick lens swaps helped adapt between tight interior details, side profile compositions, and wide-angle full-body frames.
"The car was clean—almost. Daniel joked he should’ve hit a wash before. But the shots still came out fire."
Client Feedback
Daniel loved the final gallery, especially the rolling and rear quarter angle shots. He mentioned he wished the car was a bit cleaner but still appreciated how sharp and moody the edits turned out. The portrait was a bonus and will be used as his profile pic.

Shooting Conditions
Perfect daylight—no harsh sunlight, just soft and even natural light throughout the space. ND filters helped reduce brightness on windows while maintaining clean indoor details.
