They get decked out in traditional outfits and get their picture taken. Yuka’s a long time client of mine so she’s a natural in front of my lens.

My taste in music is fairly eclectic ranging from everything from Chinese concerts like Aaron Kwok to Matisyahu to Metallica. So if you give me a camera with front row access, I’ll be one friggin happy camper. Recently, I was invited out by Capsolin, a really cool local band to shoot their concert at Chain Reaction in Anaheim. For a cold rainy day, the place was packed and Capsolin didn’t disappoint.

Shots from this post also include another local band that performed before Capsolin called the Vinyl Thieves.  Thanks for the great music and shots guys. Hope you guys enjoy them as much as I did shooting!

Crazy couple I know, but they sure do make a cute pair.

For Stanley, that meant quitting his day job as a publicists to pursue a career beating up people. More specifically, moving to Thailand to train professionally in the art of muay thai. So on his last day in the office, he and his girlfriend Jenn decided to get married! To their surprise, a full wedding day was in store including wedding rings, rice tossing and even a cake cutting ceremony.

Congrats you two!

 

Photobitz:
This was a spur of the moment wedding that I didn’t have all my gear for, but it’s also a great reason for you to carry your camera around with you everywhere you go. You never know what opportunities are just around the corner. For me, that means keeping my D700 with a 35mm f2 in my messenger bag. That kit can basically take 80% of what I would normally shoot at a regular wedding day.

It was my first Coptic Orthodox wedding and boy was it cool. Crowns, gold, smoke, a rustic venue and some Korean traditions to throw things into the mix! Thanks to Sarina from Sarina Love Photography for inviting me out. Was joy to shoot and to share these moments with everyone.

This is what I'm going to start calling "The Eric So shot" :)

I first met Yuka in the elevator lobby of my apartment and her mom Yoko, told her to say hi to me. What did she do? Run behind Yoko of course! Needless to say, Yuka’s a very shy little two year old. So when we went out last weekend to take some family portraits, I was pretty much expecting more of the same. The first couple shots of the day were what I would expect from Yuka, but after a couple minutes, she did a 180 and got all bubbly. I’m guessing the secret was her little carton of juice! Hope you guys enjoy!

And... that's a wrap! I think she likes her photog. :)
