Seattle Corporate Event Photography: Tasting In The Dark with Coppola Wines
Last night is a great example of why I love being a corporate event photographer. Start-up companies sometimes use something called “Blue Sky Thinking.” Shortly, it means that you have no limits. Think as grandiose as you’d like – no time, budget or operational restrictions. When someone is given that ability, it’s amazing what they…

Seattle Corporate Event Photography: Hyundai Hope on Wheels at Seattle Children’s Hospital
Sometimes. Sometimes I get to be a part of an event that really just feels good. Last week one one of those times. As part of their corporate giving, Hyundai (yes, the Korean car maker) has established the Hope On Wheels program to benefit Pediatric Cancer Research. Since 1998, the program has donated over $100M,…

CONCACAF Gold Cup Event Photography – Part 5: Data Management
7 Cities. 9 Events. Still Photography and Video. Gigs, and gigs, and gigs of data. As I write this, we’re barely over half-way through this run of 9 shoots, and – including the transcoded and rendered video files – we’re already over 1 TB of data. How to manage it all is a big question.…

Seattle Event Photography: Whisk(e)y Week Kick-Off with Beam Suntory at Palace Ballroom
Don’tcha love it when people say “The fun thing about…”? Like there’s only 1 fun thing about what they’re talking about. Yeah, no – too black and white. Being an event photographer is just fun! The places, the events, the energy, and of course – the people. Shooting events in the liquor industry? Those are…

Seattle Event Photography: Reyka Solstice at the Fremont Fair
What do I do? How do I help my clients? There are many other photographers – what does AShapiro Studios do differently? Short answer: We help event producers show value to people that spend money. That could be the sponsor of an event, a company’s customer or client, the people that attend an event, and…

Seattle Real Estate Photography: Updated Ballard Craftsman
I was never sure what neighborhood to say this house was in. I preferred to call it Ballard, but since it was east of 8th (by just a couple feet) and north of 65th (by less than half of a block), some said it was in Phinney Ridge, while others said Greenwood. So I coined…

Seattle Corporate Video: Washington Cigar and Spirits Festival
Along with still photography of the event, we also worked with the Snoqualmie Casino to produce an event recap sizzle film of the 2014 Washington Cigar and Spirits Festival. All footage was shot on a Panasonic AC-90, with audio captured using a Sennheiser EW112P wireless lav and Rode NTG-2 shotgun mic. Light was either ambient…

Seattle Event Photography: Washington Cigar and Spirits Festival 2014
It just keeps getting better. The Washington Cigar and Spirits Festival is exactly what guests of the event hope it will be. Like a certain fruit-named computer company from Cupertino, CA, the guests don’t even know they want it until they see it, and then they realize that this year was the best yet, and…

Seattle Commercial Photography: Floating the Fremont Cut (and testing Instagram’s new Hyperlapse app)
In about a week I’ll be out on a sail boat with a couple guys, cruising from Seattle’s Shilshole Marina, up and around the San Juan Islands and back, and today was a perfect day to test some gear. I’ll have 6 cameras with me for the shoot on the sail boat, but I’ve been…
