Wedding bells in the air!

2009-11-14T23:08:00.000-08:00

I know I knowww! I need to update this blog more often. I've just been sooo busy lately doing....ummm.....ok, thats a lie. I havent been so busy that I couldn't update, I've just been slacking. But I promise, I plan on updating this more often. Business is definitely picking up, and shoots are coming in steady. I've got two weddings before the end of the year, a few engagement shoots, and quite a few editorial stuff lined up--Thank goodness, too. With Christmas right around the corner, I couldn't use the money any sooner!

But speaking of weddings and engagements, here's a few snippets from some engagements I did recently. This first group of photos is of my good friends Topher and Vanessa. Topher just left us for Naval school, and will not be back for four months. It was a blast shooting them, and I wish Topher nothing but the best of luck! Check the entire set by clicking here.

This next couple are Jessica & Jared, an awesome young couple from Oceanside. I actually met them through a mutual friend (thanks Jessica H!). They're a hip couple, and definitely wanted something a little out of the ordinary. So we ventured to these "cliffs" right off the road in Oceanside. I decided to give the pictures a bit of an artsy feel, and I'm hoping you all like them as much as I do! Check the entire set by clicking here.

Jackie & Titus Richard wedding

2009-09-08T11:19:00.001-07:00

My brother in law Joel Beukelman (an awesome photographer and designer--check his work here) had me assist shoot a wedding this past weekend. The happy couple is Jackie & Titus Richard. It was a fun shoot up in the beautiful Temecula wine country. The view from the location was breathtaking, and the bridal party even more beautiful. Heres some of my fav shots from the whole deal. Check out the set on my flickr here and leave some love if you please!

There are a ton of other shots from the wedding. Be sure to check them all out here!

Been a while!

2009-09-02T03:28:00.000-07:00

Sooooo hello everyboooody! It's been quite a quile since my last post, and a lot has happened since then! I'm not usually one for long posts, and I'm not going to change that. But in as few words as possible, heres my life as of the last few months:

I shot a few dates on Warped Tour. I met a few very "key" people in the industry, and walked out with a few numbers and emails. All in all, the tour was amazing and the bands were great. I got to work hand in hand with a few names such as TAT, TV/TV(Just got signed -- congrats, guys!), Thrice, Alexisonfire, Saosin, LoveHateHero, and I even got a few minutes with Kevin Lyman--the founder of Warped Tour! Without any further hesitation, heres a few of my favorite shots from the tour:

You can check out all of the shots from Chula Vista by clicking here, and all the shots from Pomona by clicking here.

This is not all. Whats more, I am finally starting to get my name in the papers. I sold some work to Warner Brother/New Line Cinema to be used in the feature film "Going The Distance" starring Drew Barrymore and Matthew Long. Check out the piece after the jump.

Last up for this post is my first (and hopefully one of many to come) cover and featured article in a mass-published magazine! I had the opportunity to shoot the cover and featured article of the August issue of IE Weekly magazine. Take a gander at these gams(not much eye candy, I know--but hey, I'm excited)!

Alright, thats enough for now. Sorry for the lack of updates, but I've been focusing most of my time on school and on my .com making sure that's presentable.

So long for now!

Pace e Amore,
Bryan

Post-its ad revisions & additions.

2009-06-02T18:40:00.000-07:00

So I decided to revise the Post-It's campaign, and make a few additions. I also threw out the light switch, as the big boss wasnt a fan. Anyway, here's the four new'ns. Click the pic to open the full size.

Cinema4D, the training wheels of 3D rendering software.

2009-06-02T15:24:00.000-07:00

So I thought I'd give my hand at some more Cinema4D. I must say, as extensive and in-depth 3D programs are, Cinema4D is as user-friendly as possible. This first piece took a little over a half hour from start to finish, and I plan on writing an easy-to-read tutorial in the next few days explaining exactly how to do this.

Anyways, heres 35 minutes in Cinema4D and about 5 minutes in Photoshop:

And heres an older one I did. Not much longer in this one, but I did have to follow a few tutorials to figure out how to render it.

The Vault GRAND re-opening

2009-05-30T16:50:00.000-07:00

Shot, hands down the best "local" show Ive ever been to. The Vault re-opened last night after being shut down for two years, and they blew the doors off. There was AT LEAST 250 people there, and each and every person was there having an awesome time. The lineup included a bunch of bands Ive worked with before, and a bunch of bands I hope to work with in the future. Setlist was Seventh Armada, Planes Crash, Chapters(my new favorite band), Cetas Aspire, Yesterdays Rising, and Seven Ages. Click here for the entire album from the night!

New Business Cards & Post-It's Ad Campaign

2009-05-25T23:08:00.001-07:00

Im almost out of business cards, so I decided to use the opportunity to design a new one. I'd like to thank Twitter, Polaroid, and Steve Martin for the inspiration. Id also like to add that I ordered these with rounded edges, so Im actually in the dark in knowing what the final layout is gonna look like.

Next up is a three-up magazine ad campaign I'm doing for Post-It's®. Just went all simple-visual in this; nothing fancy or too graphic. Click on the picture to view the larger version.

Temecula Music Festivle

2009-05-18T18:56:00.000-07:00

Shoot with Lindsey Nash

2009-04-27T17:00:00.000-07:00

Gonna be a a long post today, as I've had a lot of work to write up about! I recently shot with Lindsey Erin Nash, an up and coming musician from San Diego. Bit of a story; I've known Lindsey for almost 10 years. We went to middle school together, but I havent actually seen her since then. We caught up and nailed a really good shoot last Sunday, and I'm pretty pleased with the results. As usual, here are my favorites from the shoot. Please check the entire set here.

Stay tuned and keep an eye out here later today. Im going to be adding Cetas Aspire's promos in about an hour!

Theres a tea party a brewin!

2009-04-18T12:37:00.000-07:00

Its a good thing I am an avid tea drinker, because there was enough floating around the cities on April 15th to get a lifetimes full. I decided to go out and shoot one of the (smaller albeit) gatherings in Temecula, put on by Zane, a friend of the loverly Stacey Goetting (who's pictures you can see by browsing back a few articles). Took a lot of shots, saw a lot of interesting people. All in all it was fun and interesting. Heres a few of my favs from the day, but click here to view the whole set.

Photoshoot with Zac Efron, Topher & Miss Jane

2009-04-13T15:06:00.000-07:00

Temecula Show with Seven Ages

2009-04-02T19:40:00.001-07:00

Beeeeen so busy lately! Finally hit spring break at school, and I got to work the entire week...oh how fun! On top of that, my computer has taken a major crap on me and I get to reformat as soon as I am done posting this picture. You kids are lucky Im a nice guy and posting these before I reformat haha. Anyways, shot at the Temecula community show last weekend. Wasnt a huge show, but there was a decent amount of people there. Was supposed to shoot Seven Ages and Cetas Aspire, but unfortunately due to CA's singer Ryan, they couldnt play. Still got to shoot Seven Ages (again). Was a good show, nonetheless. View all the pics by clicking here.

BMX & Kenaynay's b-dayday!

2009-03-16T16:41:00.001-07:00

Saturday was a pretty dang busy day for me! Woke up, knocked out one of my final projects(perfect score on it, woot!!!), got my Chipotle & Starbucks on, washed my car...oh, and took a crap load of photos. Was on my way to the gas station when I passed by this little BMX park on some unowned land. Saw some kids there, and luckily I had my camera so I took a few. Heres my fav's, but check the whole set in the Live ISH section.

Then I was off to shoot Kenny and Raiza's huge b-day at Desert Rose. The whole set is up in the Photobooth ISH section!

As usual, if you're throwin these up on your myspace, please check me out and add me as well!

Reggae, Hip Hop, and HDR

2009-03-13T21:48:00.000-07:00

Big post today. Been really busy lately, and getting busier. And you know what? I love it! Got asked to shoot at the Versus DJ battle last Friday, and it was pretty dope I might say. Took these at the Stage bar in Downtown San Diego on Monday night. The group is called Reggae Party, and they are exactly what you would think...a party of reggae. Seriously THE BEST cover band I've heard to date! Check out some of the shots after the jump, and click here to view the whole set.

So after I got done shooting these guys, I decided to go for a walk around downtown and just capture the late night city. I had my tripod with me, and thought I'd try my luck with HDR photography. I dabbled a little bit a few years ago, but havent touched it in at least two years. Check out the whole set here.

To end this post, I thought I'd share some pics from the Versus DJ battle from last friday. Some of these producers are legit! Gonna be working with Kid Nice and Eklipse pretty soon, too! The whole set is in the Live ISH section, so check it out!

Thats it for now.

Pace e Amore,
Bryan

Artists for Autism event/Rykes B-Day party

2008-12-14T12:00:00.000-08:00

Hey all, for the many many friends I made at the Our Nicholas Foundation benefit show, I just want to say I had a blast. I gave out about 100 business cards, took literally THOUSANDS of pictures -- lots of which are just duplicates/same poses, and hopefully gain a few new future clients and friends!

Anyways, about your pictures. I shot everything for free, but if there are any shots you would like printed out just let me know and I can do it for a very discounted price.

You will all have to bare with me, as I am in finals week, and finals at Art School mean work work work, so I may not get the pictures up until towards the end of the week, or if I feel like busting them out tonight I might just do that, but check back here periodically.

Also, if you have a myspace, feel free to add me. I'm always out personal shoots, and they're a lot of fun for all who are involved!

Just go to www.myspace.com/3006895 and add me!

Till then,
Pace e amore

I feel full

2008-11-26T16:16:00.003-08:00

Im down in san diego this morning, sleeping in my car as I usually do on tuesday nights. Wednesday morning rolls around and I wake up at about 7:40, and go to Little Italy and have a cup of coffee at Cafe Zucchero, like I do every week.

Im on my way back towards school and see a small group of homeless people in standing in the median of Friars road with signs. I dont know what it was, but I felt compelled to give them something to actually be thankful for this Thanksgiving.

So I pulled up to Ralphs, went inside, and bought as many canned foods as I could afford, using every last penny I had on me.I then walked down to the intersection, ran across the road, handed out all of the food, and got a hug from a stinky old vagabond.

I didnt care what people were thinking. It just felt good.

That was 8 hours ago, and all Ive had to eat today is a bag of popcorn, some coffee, and water. Im a little hungry, but knowing that those few people would not be hungry for at least one or two days is more soul-filling and satisfying than any food I could eat.

Fun in The Booniez!

2008-11-16T23:18:00.001-08:00

So I had a reallly freaking awesome opportunity to shoot The Booniez dance crew today, and it was dank! These are some legit dancers, and super fun to work with. Cant wait to hang out with them in the future!

Heres a few pics from the shoot. Click here to view the whole set!

The Misadventures of Jack

2008-11-14T19:33:00.000-08:00

So my roomie Dave came up with a most excellent web-series idea that I get to be a part of. It's called The Misadventures of Jack. See, Jack is a rabbit. And Jack is not happy with his life, and he wants to become famous. How? We will find out in the coming weeks as more and more of the adventure unfolds!

Pics from the shoot(click pics to view full size):

Finally decided to start a blog.

2008-11-14T14:22:00.000-08:00

Well I've been doing a lot of shooting lately, and it's been kind of a pain in the ass trying to get the pictures to everyone from myspace, flickr, facebook, and wherever else I meet people to shoot! Sooo I figured this place would be a good spot to just throw everything up and have people come pick out what they like!

I'll probably be redirecting my website (www.KulorDS.com) to here until I get the time and motivation to design a site!

Not real sure how often I'll use this, but who knows? I may be on here every day...or not at all! Only time will tell!
