It was such a blast working with JC and her boyfriend Stan today!

JC is currently in the process of updating her modeling portfolio and she contacted me previously regarding shooting some fashion and location swimwear images, but due to schedule conflict, it didn’t work out. We finally got the schedule worked out, and without saying, it was one of the most enjoyable photoshoot I have done!

Super-friendly and quick to pick up the finer points of posing, projecting expression and portraying her own unqiue attitude, JC worked tirelessly with the camera, and the camera loves her!

Without saying, the results are fantastic! With Stan being that to help out as well, it couldn’t have been better!!

Thanks for the hardwork, JC. I love the images we jointly created together and I look forward to working with you soon!

William

First of all, Lacy drove from 7am for almost 2 hours from the northern Sacramento area to shoot with me here in Bay Area… now that in and of itself, is impressive!

Second of all, Lacy bought at least 5 different new swimsuits (with makeup to match) to the shoot…. now that’s a demonstration of drive and determination to succeed!!

Picking up on the finer points of posing and projecting expressions and attitudes unique to herself, Lacy was a fast learner, and she made the shoot very, very enjoyable. With the weather cooperating almost perfectly, it was a beautiful day to create beautiful images with Lacy.

I love the images we jointly created, Lacy, and I look forward to working with you again!

Lacy had since written back with the following:

”
William has been the best photographer that I have worked with yet!

He made the atmosphere fun, but also mixed that with a drive to get the best photograph possible…. He took the time to show me poses that worked well with my body, and also let me know what didn’t (which is SO helpful, because if we only hear the things that we do right, how can we ever fix the things that we do wrong!).

I love the images we created, however I feel that I took away much more from the shoot because I grew as a model! William took the time to show me things from a photographers perspective which prove to be very beneficial because it gave me the opportunnity to actually change things that I was doing during the shoot which automatically improved the quality of the images.

William also helped me by giving me great positive feedback from behind the camera by telling me “thats great!” “great shot!” and so on, which only made me that much more comfortable! I can’t wait until I get to work with William again because I know I will only learn so much more!

It was such a blast working with Sharin today!

Sharin came to the Woodside location on time with her sister Sonia, and was all ready to go. With a style that is uniquely hers, we set out to shoot the best all outdoors, natural lighting images.

Without saying, Sharin’s ability to pick up the finer points of posing, and leveraging on them to deliver on what’s original, made for a huge difference in the resulting images. Settling into a working rapport with Sharin was very easy, and we both quickly settled into working “mode”, focusing on the concepts at hand.

I love the images we jointly created, for they aptly represented who Sharin really is!!!

Sharin had since replied saying…

”
I really had a blast working with William. He was great at breaking the ice!

He was very articulate and detailed about every single pose and lighting. It was great that for once, a photographer will tell you what looked good and what did not.

I absolutely loved the location that we shot at. It was a bit difficult climbing down this rugged hill, but it was definitely worthwhile! Would absolutely love to shoot with him again!

Jase and I finally got to work together! We have contacted each other last July, but due to schedule conflicts, the shoot never did materialize.

Originaly born in Shanghai, Jase had been living in sunny California for about 15 years now. Currently, she is a junior attending college. Jase thinks that modeling is a lot of fun and she loves meeting new people! Jase takes all her assignments with dedication and open-mindedness.

With experiences in areas of lifestyle print, fashion modeling, commercial advertisements, television, and music videos, Jase was a blast to work with. She made my job so easy!

Jase wrote back me back on 3/18:

”
Working with William was a blast. Even though I was slightly sick on the day of my shoot, William was very encouraging and supportive, which made it an enjoyable experience.

William was very professional and knowledgeable about natural lighting in that he is super keen about the exact spots to shoot in order to get the best skin/muscle tone. The entire photoshoot was fun and I am very happy with the results. I look forward to working with him again!

Thanks for working together Jase, and I look forward to more opportunities in the future.
