A visually detailed account of Tim's work in San Diego and destinations abroad
La Jolla celebrated one of it’s notable sushi restaurants double-digit birthday this past year, and you-know-who was there to photograph it! While the night was focused primarily on long-time customers & VIP clientele, I was limited on what I could shoot in regards to invading private party dinners & such. It was a privilege to not only...
Great shots Tim, I love your clients. You certainly know how to pick the fun people to work forJanuary 20, 2012 – 8:13 am
That place looks so pretty I want to go there! Guess that means you did a good job capturing it!January 19, 2012 – 3:18 pm
I swear your event photography is some of the best! Your editing, SWEET!!!January 19, 2012 – 12:26 pm
Beautiful Photos! Way to capture the atmosphere of one of my favorite places! :)

San Diego Beer Week has grown to be one of my favorite events to shoot. Last year I had the privilege of shooting this event, and this year proved to be even more fun. Beer, brats, bread, and burgers filled the day at Torrey Pines Lodge, San Diego. The capstone event featured all the best...

[Warning - this post may be considered 'not safe for work', as there are photos of men & women scantily clad] Now that THAT’S out of the way, let’s get on with the fun, shall we?

Really impressive stuff man! Your use of the flash & ambient light makes this event look like it was actually a photo shoot, like it was studio lighting. Really cool to see this kind of effect, haven’t seen anyone do anything like this in nightlife before. Keep up the great work!December 20, 2011 – 11:22 am
Love that 1st shot of the empty clubDecember 20, 2011 – 10:25 am
Great work! 24 and 26 with the purple laser lights coming around them blows my mind with the composition of those lights.December 20, 2011 – 9:51 am

If you’re a long-time follower of my blog, you might have seen me post about this event last year – and it was just as much a privilege to shoot this year’s. If you’re new to the blog, let me give you a brief run-down on what the Stay Classy organization does exactly. Stay Classy...

I recently shot the grand opening party for Burlap, an asian-western style restaurant started by the Brennan brothers – along with well known chef Brian Malarkey. The night kicked off with a bang – Brian is well known for being the life of the party – he paraded through the restaurant with Chinese dragon heads...

@Gerald – yep, same setup with the STE2 and wireless flash w/ diffuser. Works 100% of the time, 60% of the time!December 13, 2011 – 2:32 pm
For events like these, do you still use the same flash set up as you described in your Nightlife Photography post?December 13, 2011 – 1:32 pm
Love everything about this event. Tim, I’m loving following your blog. Your photos are really inspirational!December 12, 2011 – 6:53 am
Tim, your detail shots continually amaze me. You have a brilliant eye for composition, and a sense of fun that you translate so well through the lens! Great job!December 11, 2011 – 5:35 pm
ps: these are amazing, per usual. (I tried to abbreviate that, doesn’t have the same effect in writing. Rather confusing, really). But in all seriousness, awesomeness. Especially the one of the crowd with the one chick looking at you. and smiling. because who can’t when they look at you? AWWWWW. I’m so sweet.December 11, 2011 – 1:42 pm

That show from the first show must have been intense. Love how you made it work though! Gorgeous.December 12, 2011 – 6:38 am
I love how BOLD these photos are – they really capture the feeling of being at the event and what it would feel like to wear the clothes. Great work! Also, adding “shoot New York Fashion Week” to my bucket list.December 10, 2011 – 10:06 am

Really enjoy viewing your images, Tim! I entered the realm of model photography in April, and I’d think it would be awesome to attend Fashion Week in NYC next year if I could…December 9, 2011 – 3:27 pm
Gorgeous images, gorgeous clothes! So how do you get in to shoot one of those shows, anyway? :)December 9, 2011 – 3:17 pm
I don’t know if you realized you captured some of the really big names in fashion – such as Anna Wintour – sitting in the front row. She’s the one in the big round dark sunglasses; you can see her clearly in your shot of Michael Kors and also in a couple others. Pretty much every person in the front row of that show was some big name in fashion. Nicely done, Tim!December 9, 2011 – 2:42 pm
Very impressive sir!!! I’ll bet money you book something new off of this post… Cheers!December 9, 2011 – 1:09 pm
Ha! We both posted about NY and clothes… But I gotta admit – I wish I was there during the fashion week! You totally nailed the “high production” look, awesome job! And ahhh… I love Michael Kors.December 9, 2011 – 12:22 pm

i am constantly blown away how every single one of your images looks like it came out of a magazine. so amazing.
i’m not kidding when i say that i want to come assist you (seriously dude, i’ll shlep your bags all night long) just to watch how you make this magic happen. consider me a big fan, not only of your work but of you. because you are a jet.August 3, 2011 – 6:11 pm

Last week I shot the grand opening for RMD Group’s newest venue – F6ix. Can you guess where it’s located? Yep, you got it. F and 6th street downtown.

I’ve met a lot of photographers who are adamant about being “technically correct” when it comes taking photos. But you know what? Sometimes, being technically correct – sometimes just DOESN’T DO IT. For the most part, I like to think of my style as clean, fresh, fun, and modern. At times though, I think it...

Seriously interesting, for real! I have often wondered if I should go more “event” processing than “me” processing sometimes, and this totally worked. Especially love the italian place, you really thought about that one! & who in the heck has a VIP reception and then broadcasts it to the other patrons that can’t get in? I’d love to hear a little bit more about that one, not sure if I’m sold, but I’m sure you’d sell me on the tactic. :)
xoJune 22, 2011 – 9:59 am
Awesome stuff. The post-processing you chose definitely fits each of these events! I find myself being more consistent than daring. I really should challenge myself to change it up a bit. I have a preset that I use to gently tweak each image, and then I’ll mess with them individually some more. I’ve been thinking of doing more b/w lately too! Gotta try it! :)June 21, 2011 – 10:21 pm
YES! Amen, amen, amen. Here is to letting your eyes choose. :) LOVE THIS POST.June 21, 2011 – 4:03 pm
Yeah man, I hear ya. I like to use LR presets a lot! And I like making an image unique. Photography is always changing, so I think for photographers, a lot of what they produce will be changing. Maybe not a lot, but some. Unless your old school, and take the same kind of shots and edit them the same every time, I think inside of creativity you can have a lot of change. I agree that it’s probably good to stay consistent, but also creativity will create change and inconsistency to some level. Sweet pics man! I really like the Italian restaurant pics. Keep em’ coming. I admire your work.June 21, 2011 – 8:08 am

These are SICK! I especially love the ones of their legs/holding hands on the sofa, allll the rooftop ones, and the one of them on the stairs. Cute little tidbit about them, too! Love seeing guys hold girl’s bags! It’s a selfless thing to do. :)

This is easily one of the best engagement shoots I have seen… no cheesy posing and natural light that doesn’t take over the whole photo and is not over exposed? Yes please.June 14, 2011 – 8:00 am
Great job Tim!
Each time I look at your work I realize that there’s so much more to learn. It’s always like a breath of fresh air for me (yes, I stole your expression and keep using on special occasions :P), thank you for making me push myself harder.
The whole shoot looks very solid, the color tones are so nice and warm. I love the shot with the sun flare peeking through the stairs and a little bit of the “tilt shift lens” effect. There’s something about the very last image that makes it so real and um… lasting.
PS Your comment about the photo with a purse made me smile. :)June 13, 2011 – 9:50 pm

Not only are ALL of these blowing my mind, but holy shit you HAVE been busy! I can’t hate on our lack of skype dates then, huh?
I am sure you had a great time at the WSJ meetings picking up every tidbit you can from those billionaires! & shooting for Susan G. Komen, what an honor and humbling experience!
The cheese plate shot looks so appetizing, you truly are so good at everything. It infuriates me. Haha. You’re incredibly talented on so many levels, so excited for what’s in your future!
Hey! Hook a sistah up with those wooden shades!

I’m going to shoot a hot couple in the dessert pretty soon. Here’s my idea. He is driving a nice black car dusty from desert sand and sees a tan hot brunette walking down the road in shorts, a plaid shirt and cowboy boots. She’s looking for a ride… He stops, she gets in the car… and this is when the fun begins… I think it’s gonna be pretty hot shooting an intimate shoot on the back seat.May 4, 2011 – 1:51 am
Dude! I miss your face! We needabe skypin soon.
This looks like an awesome gig. I def need to take lessons from you on how to use your flash during these nighttime soirées.
Next shoot I’m really looking forward to is an engagement sesh with a super cool couple out in Nelson. When y’all come shoot in vegas I’ll take you there too.

Great job, Tim! Nice use of props/posing – love the jackets/snow. And yeah, sometimes you gotta go that extra mile sometimes, definitely had my share of these types of things setting up shootsDecember 22, 2010 – 2:22 pm
Just when I think you couldn’t get any dumber, you go and do something like this…and TOTALLY REDEEM YOURSELF! Haha nice work man, these shots came out great. Glad you’re still alive lolDecember 15, 2010 – 10:34 pm
The scarfs/jackets/mugs/snowballs are awesome. Great work Tim! Let me know next time you do one of these!December 14, 2010 – 3:50 pm

WOW! Now *this* looks like an interesting event Tim!December 18, 2010 – 2:21 pm
TIM! Great job with these photos. You can really tell a lot about a person by the way they express themselves within their art. Your photos are clean, energetic, fun, vivacious, and extraordinary. I didn’t meet you at the event, but received your card through a friend of mine, and I have to say, WOW! I’m impressed. I love the way you used such a modern and embellished style to present the story of the night. Way cool, stay well.December 17, 2010 – 10:26 am
Hey Tim! Great seeing you that night! It was good to catch up, hopefully we’ll be able to see each other more often :o)December 14, 2010 – 2:27 pm
I bet you sure had your fair share of photo opportunities at this place…good to see you branching out into some more creative/alternative-styled events!December 13, 2010 – 2:23 pm
Ooh fun photos Tim! I really like the ones in the middle. The guy laughing with the orange background, the girl laughing with the white background. I guess I like photos with people laughing, go figure. HADecember 12, 2010 – 12:01 pm
Way cool angles, Tim. I love your stlye.December 11, 2010 – 3:28 pm
Wow looks like they had some really cool pieces/live art at this event, must have been a lot of fun!December 11, 2010 – 11:12 am
Impressive work, Tim. Looks like you were enjoying the wide angle lens this round, eh?December 11, 2010 – 7:45 am

Nice use of negative space with the girl pouring the wine. I enjoy looking at your photos from time to time, please keep them coming.December 10, 2010 – 4:17 pm
Incredible shots, Tim. I love the style you’ve developed…really presents the mood, atmosphere, and the feeling from the night. Even shots of just a gaslamp are impressive. Way to tie it all together to create a story. Cheers.December 7, 2010 – 7:14 am
Great photos Tim! Thanks for sharing!December 6, 2010 – 12:33 pm
Ahhhhhh so many good ones here! Hard to pick my favorites, but I have to say – I think the ‘cabernet’ one and the one of the guy taking the pizza out of the oven are my favorite. Also like the ones of the guys dressed so traditionally, this place has an awesome style!December 6, 2010 – 10:01 am
Tim, I remember when I met you and you were just starting out as a photographer with 3D…your skill has grown tremendously and it is SO COOL to see you doing so well now and it really is truly AMAZING to see what a talent you have. Please remember me when you are super famous & are showing off galleries all across the US in a few years! Muah!December 6, 2010 – 8:54 am

Love these! I think the first couple photos are my favorite…they do a great job of telling the story of a fashion show…if that makes sense?December 12, 2010 – 1:36 pm
Great photos Tim. Nice job on bringing a different take on the whole fashion-show style shootingDecember 8, 2010 – 10:35 am
Great perspective on the show, definitely a lot different than the norm of what you would see from something like this.December 6, 2010 – 8:34 pm
Great photos Tim. Enjoyed your discussion of backlighting.December 6, 2010 – 6:22 pm
Oh cool Tim! I like how you got the different angles for this! THanks so much for making it out to the show!December 6, 2010 – 9:31 am

Tim, your photography work sounds like so much fun sometimes. I get stuck with crying babies and angry moms trying to make them smile while you’re out eating pizza and having fun. Ugh. Sometimes, you make me jealous.December 14, 2010 – 11:21 am

Awesome job on covering the event, Tim – these photos are really great. I really like the backlighting you used with the red carpet/stage shots. Which lens(es) did you use for this event? Do you use prime lenses or zoom?November 15, 2010 – 12:43 pm

Ivy is one of the few venues I like going to in SD…I feel like it’s one of the only places that is actually good to go to without feeling like it’s some overcrowded rave filled with Jersey Shore guys. Ivy has an awesome view tooNovember 24, 2010 – 10:26 pm
Hahaha that comment about the Hard Rock is hilarious…so true lolNovember 11, 2010 – 10:25 am
Sweet pics Tim – were you using a low-light lens for this stuff? It doesn’t seem like you were using any artificial lighting or anything…any insight on the setup? Por favor…November 10, 2010 – 9:23 am

Great photos Tim! I love your use of lighting to create the mood in this set…was that natural light on the 2 girls? I can’t figure out how you had them so well lit – anyways, fun costumes & it looks like it was a good time!

Great work, Tim. I’m really liking all the color tones, your framing/direction in the last few shots is outstanding. Job well done! Let’s see some more pics!October 4, 2010 – 11:15 am
Awesome shots Tim, I really like the one with all the guys raising their glasses for the toastOctober 3, 2010 – 7:04 pm
Those shots of the pond/roman columns are awesome – makes balboa park look even more amazing than it actually is, which is a tough job to do! HaahOctober 3, 2010 – 5:19 pm
I don’t know how you got that photo of just the couple with the street & no people in the background…balboa park is one of the hardest places to take photos because of all the ‘extras’
Nice work!October 3, 2010 – 2:47 pm
Absolutely stunning! (I may possibly have written the same thing on every post I comment on…but seriously!)October 3, 2010 – 1:59 pm

Hi Tim, great photos! I love your work. I was wondering if by chance you could send me the photo of the four of us girls in the reception area…I was the one wearing the red dress (you told us the joke about horses)…it would be great if you could send it to me! We would all really appreciate it!September 28, 2010 – 11:39 am

(or at least come close) Do you have any tips for anyone who is trying to get better at photography? I.e. poses, equipment, how to get better photos lolNovember 11, 2010 – 6:02 pm
Great work Tim, nice job on the composition on these shots. My favorites are the shoes, cupcakes, ring shot with the pastor, and of course the one on the patio where they’re kissing or whatever. That one is really good, I’d suggest using it on your portfolioNovember 2, 2010 – 2:28 pm
Great photos Tim. Love the shots of the couple on the boardwalk & with the sunflare/trees behind themOctober 27, 2010 – 10:06 am
Gorgeous photos Tim! I love the one of the couple on the boardwalk! Very cool patterns/framing/etc. I like how you bring the patterns into your styleOctober 4, 2010 – 3:33 pm
Ooooooh I love the photos Tim! My favorites are at the end: the one of the two kissing while sitting on the deck, the one of 2 people dancing with the light in the back, the arms in the air photos, oh they’re all good! But you know that. I know I say it a lot, but I love love love your photos! (It’s probably getting old by now, but oh well) You’re so talented Tim, keep up the great work!September 25, 2010 – 6:11 pm

Nice work on these photos Tim! Really says “Hard Rock” with all the musical details you included. The guitars at the top, the soundboard, the shot of the guy playing guitar (i like it better you didn’t get his head, has more of an abstract look to it), the singer, and the woman with her hands in the air. Paints the picture just perfectly. But you already knew that…September 27, 2010 – 5:58 pm

Oh cool! Great collection of photos, it really does a good job “telling the story” of the night!September 17, 2010 – 1:45 pm
I regularly do the Intervention Photobooth on Sundays, however when the Andaz Hotel approached me about doing a photobooth for Moët, I immediately lit up with excitement. Moët is launching a new product called “Moët on Ice,” which is champagne on ice (which is surprisingly really good!) and they have been hosting events all over...

Can you teach me how to do a photo booth? Like all the posing/lighting/framing etc?? This looks like a good thing to do at stuff like weddings & reception type events. Well, maybe not the bathing suit stuffOctober 25, 2010 – 4:31 pm
Great work as always man, this set is one of the best I’ve seen from you…October 11, 2010 – 10:39 am
OMG love these! Thanks so much this was such a fun day!September 13, 2010 – 1:49 pm
Whoa! Nice work man, these look so legit! One of your best booths yet!September 8, 2010 – 5:03 pm
Tim, I’ve set it before, and I’ll say it again. Every time I come to your blog, your work impresses me even more each time! Your photos keep getting better and better, and every time I think you can’t really do much to make them any better, you do something like this…and it blows me away! I love these photos, and I can’t wait until we get to work together again soon! Hope things are treating you well (it looks like they are!) Take care, SSeptember 8, 2010 – 12:48 pm
OMG these look like so much fun!!!September 7, 2010 – 2:02 pm

Awesome job, Tim. You did a great job getting in the details/candid moments. In fact, I don’t think I see one posed shot in all these pics. I think that ability is what makes the difference between a good photographer and a great photographer.September 14, 2010 – 4:46 pm
I <3 your photos! Even though I'm not a photographer, I can really tell that these are some really good photos! You are a super talented person, and I love seeing all the stuff you do/photograph. Please keep posting stuff like this!
Have a good week!September 12, 2010 – 7:22 pm
I want to know what those two with the 3d glasses are looking at! Haha, that’s so cool SD has this kind of thing going on – I didn’t even know we had much of an art sceneSeptember 6, 2010 – 1:47 pm
WOW! I really like these shots Tim! Your style is evolving and it’s so cool to see it! I think this gallery has been one of your best yet!September 6, 2010 – 9:05 am

I love your style Tim! I love the way you did the collage-style layout, cool to see it all come together to capture the feeling of the event. Hope to see you at the next one.August 24, 2010 – 6:55 pm
These came out really great, Tim. Thanks so much for attending, I will look for your photos in the magazine.
Take care.August 23, 2010 – 9:02 am
The other day I was asked to cover an event being held at a farm. In all my days working as a photographer, I don’t think I’ve done anything quite like this – but I’m so glad I did. Mistral, a restaurant featured at the Loew’s Coronado Resort, took their chefs out of the hotel...

I was really excited about doing this booth – Fluxx nightclub is a particular favorite spot of mine because of their approach towards entertainment. Any night I’ve been there, I’ve found that they’ve always found a unique way to bring new ideas to the common nightlife scene. You can find anything from cirque-de-soliel dancers to...

Last night I shot a fashion show at Stingaree Nightclub that featured the newest line from Vix Swimwear. It’s always a tough job to go and shoot girls in bikinis, but hey – someone’s gotta do it.

Cool pic! Do you have any more of the photos from that night?? I would love to see if I’m in any of them :))August 10, 2010 – 8:29 am
Nice shot sir, pleasure seeing you as always.August 9, 2010 – 2:25 pm
Photographed the Art Institute Urban Garden Runway fashion show this past weekend, one of the more impressive productions I’ve seen come out of San Diego. The convention center played host to the event, and in comparison to the Hard Rock hotel last year, I feel it did a pretty good job of it!

So just yesterday, I held a booth at San Diego State University’s Entrepreneur day fair. The event featured both student and alumni entrepreneurs who have started their own business out of San Diego. Alumni including founder Thom McElroy of Volcom, Wing Lam of Wahoo’s, JEDIDIAH clothing, Rubio’s, and several others came down to host their...

Will surely recommend this site to some friends! Very interesting site and articles. Really thankful for sharing. Regards,August 19, 2011 – 5:17 am
Yeah, that twice as cold question is tough! I ‘m getting ready for an interview today so these were a great help.April 19, 2011 – 1:43 am
I just have to say, reading all these, I hope I don’t have to interview any time soon. But for me interviewing someone else, I’d ask, “How would you go about shopping for a microwave?”
The thoroughness of their “research” efforts would tell me how compulsive they are, or how practical. So if I wanted someone good at research or good at quick/practical decision making, i’d have my answer – right there!
Nice, entertaining reading! thank you.April 16, 2010 – 8:34 pm
hmmm i would get rid of California, and make it a sovereign nation :)April 16, 2010 – 12:13 am
Good work Tim. Brings more excitement and includes people more in the process as well as gets them thinking. This gives them more to go home with.
I was asked by the person who would be my boss, “If I asked you to do something for me that for you was unethical or inappropriate and insisted that you do it because I was your boss and that I took responsibility, what would you do?”
At an interview for graduate school in clinical psychology, a candidate was asked to tell the interveiwer something she had never told anyone before. She responded, “If I haven’t told anyone else, I’m not going to tell you.”
Re: Which state? “Is this Sophie’s Choice?”April 15, 2010 – 2:45 pm
the scales are just different methods of measuring temperature. to be “twice as cold” is subjective, and would require a relative constant for a “right” answer.April 15, 2010 – 2:22 pm
Very interesting questions Tem! Love the pics too! I’m really impressed with everything that you have accomplished thus far! :)
The question remains who is going to take your grad pics? (ME!?!)April 15, 2010 – 12:20 pm
It sounds like a trick question! Apparently what you’re supposed to do is convert to the “Celsius” scale and judge accordingly, because it wouldn’t be possible in Fahrenheit or Kelvin.April 15, 2010 – 5:29 pm
i’m impressed. “What is the temperature when it’s twice as cold as zero degrees?” that is all kinds of trick question.April 15, 2010 – 5:25 pm
Tim – Nice work at the job fair. Rocking that 50mm 1.4 i see?
This set looked to me like you were taking a photo-journalistic approach. Kudos!

I would get rid of Texas. I also particularly dislike West Virginia, but feel that it is too small and powerless (not to mention already disliked by all the other states) to make me choose it over Texas.April 15, 2010 – 4:49 pm

So as some of you may have heard, Ivy was recently acquired by Hyatt hotels and evolved into the luxury brand of Hyatt Hotel corp, “Andaz.” What does that mean? Well, not much to be honest. The names of the entertainment venues will stay the same (Ivy Nightclub, Ivy Ultra lounge, Ivy Rooftop). But you...

I’ve been thinking about getting something for low light…any recommendations?March 17, 2010 – 7:16 pm

Wow, Tim. This is really cool – I never knew you did other stuff besides the club photos – you definitely have a great talent on your hands, that’s for sure. I’m really impressed with your versatility as a photographer – most people are usually pretty good at one thing, but you seem to be able to do many things exceptionally well. I hope to work with you sometime in the not-so-distant future.August 24, 2010 – 2:10 pm
