Remy Martin V Event

*Be sure to check out newer post about the Remy Martin V party at Mezzanine 9/10*

Yesterday I photographed an event at San Francisco bar Sloane. The event was for Remy Martin to announce to distributors their new spirit, V.

Abi, the promo girl had to gather up the attendees to try to get them to pose in front of the "step and repeat." She did such a great job, and everyone was enjoying posing, some even came back to pose again. The idea is making the V with your fingers will be the new lingo to let the bartender know you want a Remy V.

We were there at noon, so I'm not sure what Sloane is like when it's an actual bar but I'll probably go back to Sloane just because the set up was so cool, and the owners were so friendly.

While setting up, one of the owners asked if I wanted something to drink, considering it was 11am and I was working, I asked for "just a cup water would be great"... and he came up with this designer bottle of evian... so fancy!

I'm also super excited for the actual launch of V! First it's only in SF and Atlanta, and next year it will be available. Ya know SF, being the trendsetter =)

Cal Women's Golf

This posting is very delayed but I'm going to time stamp it as the date the actual shoot was, just to keep everything chronological =)

Headed over to the Metropolitan golf course located right next to the Oakland airport. And I mean RIGHT next to it.

With harsh morning sun, distracting backgrounds everywhere, and no electricity for my strobes, it was less than ideal setting for photos. But I used my umbrella to block the bright sun on their faces so they weren't squinting and then just had the background blown out. Gotta work with what ya got =)

Also did some quick posed action with new player Nicola Rössler in case Cal writes an article about her, they'll have an "action" photo to go along with the story =)
