I had a shoot in San Francisco last Friday at a venue called The Foundry. This place is incredible. Not only for events but for photo shoots. It has an industrial feel to it with a slight twist of classic. The ceiling is lined up with sky lights which brings in plenty of natural light. There is also a ton of classic furniture you could use for props, perfect for a bourdoir photo shoot. I'm good with the guys who runs the place and agreed to help them with imagery in trade for studio space for shoots. Planning my first shoot there in a month so stay tune for those pictures.
Here are some of the pictures I took that day.

Most popular spot... the bar.
Smilebooth set up. I've seen my fair share of photo booths for events and Smilebooth takes it to a whole new level. Instead of capturing one still image, Smilebooth captures several high quality stills to create an animation in which you can send to yourself or others via email, SMS, social. Perfect for weddings, corporate events, reunions... any special event really.
