Ali’s Birthday Bash at Sidebar Nightclub

Last night, downtown celebrated the birthday of one of San Diego Nightlife’s most familiar faces.  Ali Pouladin has been rocking the Wednesday night scene the past 2 years, leading Sidebar as the main industry night for other nightclub venues to come and enjoy a night off (or rather, a night of celebrating!) Last night, his…

Anthony Quesada - Tim, you dominate this scene! Always fun to check out your stuff. Makes SD look bad assJanuary 17, 2012 – 10:32 pm

Justin Douglas - I swear that your nightlife photography is some of the best work broham!!!!January 13, 2012 – 10:08 am

Tim King - @MRTHALLID – Right on, thanks for reading & keeping in touch! As for the lighting while getting into the limo, I guess it was just luck of the draw…was using available light from the street lights & just color-corrected the white balance in lightroom afterwards. Thanks for the comment, hope this helps!January 12, 2012 – 5:58 pm

MrThallid - I have been reading your blog for nearly a year now. I really enjoy your photos and the stories that go with them. For this particular set, the picture I am most impressed with is the one with the two men getting into the Limo. It looks like the perfect lighting! How was that accomplished?January 12, 2012 – 12:10 pm

Josh Daniels - 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.

I’m writing to you here from San Francisco, enjoying a mid-summer trip visiting friends & fitting in some work alongside – each time I see this place I grow to like it more and more. (Once I post the engagement session shot yesterday, you’ll understand why) Now to the party at hand. 4th of July…

F6ix Grand Opening

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. The night featured extravagant expenditures on champagne, dirty dancing, and of course, some funky fresh beats. Alongside, Hef’s ex-fiance Crystal Harris hosted the kickoff event which…

The Nightlife Photography Post

With this post, I’ll hope to give you the ins & outs of nightlife photography & all its perils. To start off, I should say that nightlife photography isn’t the most lucrative avenue for a photographer – but it sure can be some fun work. Most nightlife photographers will make about $75-100 per night. I’ll…

Dean Reid - Excellent post. I’ve been researching the nightlife photography arena for a few weeks now and I must say your post was very informative. Could you shed some light on how to land a nightlife photographer gig?

Thanks,
DeanMay 1, 2011 – 8:30 am

Justin Douglas - I love this post for it pertains to some of the work I do. I’m actually under a contract doing nightlife photography for a local Austin artist named Tje Austin. Come to find out he’s going to be on the show called, “The Voice” today on NBC (Check it out)…. Here is a shot I did of him (http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150556230395285&set=a.133808195284.223897.566175284&type=1&theater) and let me know what you think. Thanks for the tips for I shoot his listening party tomorrow. I agree with Ashley that you work the hell out of the flash. All I have is the Nikon SB-600 but I’m going to buy Stroboframe and TTL cord.April 26, 2011 – 1:59 am

Lena - Thanks!! You da best!April 25, 2011 – 8:47 pm

Bombchell - In Atlanta - wow so cool. lol i feel like the girl who missed 1 week of class and needs to catch up. I need to learn how to apply all of this.April 25, 2011 – 2:20 pm

s h e r r y - So cool about the light trail tip. Must try that out… And your flash skills are >>>> mine. Must. Practice.April 25, 2011 – 12:50 pm

Ashley Goodwin - ps: You know how to work the hell out of a flash. I need to master this.April 25, 2011 – 9:39 am

Ashley Goodwin - These are B.A. You went H.A.M. (like that?)
Your honesty about the scene is dead-on, and that’s really refreshing. You do have to have pretty thick skin to tackle such fancy & intimidating late-nights, and you are totally the guy with the personality to do it, but you’re true to you, thus I love & respect ya! Dude spraying the champagne totally LOOKS like he likes to spend money (HEY! I love champagne! Hook a sistah up!). AND YOU GOT TO MEET KIM K? I DIEEEE FOR HER.
So happy you got to use your mafia metaphor.

Fluxx 1 Year Anniversary Weekend

If you haven’t been to Fluxx Nightclub yet, you’re truly missing out on an experience.
