I photographed a number of events, did headshots for their magazine, and had the opportunity to meet their community. I even got some down time to see Cirque de Soleil's Ka show!<br /><br />Some photos to come shortly. Right now, I'm just downloading, backing up and editing.Kimberley Bermenderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10942029127300871649noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9861040.post-605475176240322352010-03-02T18:18:00.000-08:002010-03-03T17:56:55.163-08:00Business Portrait: Color or Black and White?When talking to businesspeople about their executive portrait, I often get asked whether they should order their image in color or black and white. It's a good question, as color offers a very different perspective and interaction with the image than black and white. My answer is always BOTH (and I include both in the final package). Here's why:<br /><br />Look at the examples below. What is your first reaction to the color image? Do you react differently to the black and white image? Not only do people's reaction differ to the images, and you may want one type of reaction vs. another, but media also change. An image on newsprint may blur in color, whereas display more clearly in black and white. So always get both and use according to your need.<br /><br /><img src="/photos/blog/robin_color.jpg" /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">CEO, Color Image</span><br /><br><br /><img src="/photos/blog/robin_bw.jpg" /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">CEO, Black and White</span><br /><br /><br />Copyright 2010 Kimberley Bermender<br /><a href="http://www.maginei.com/">maginei photography</a>Kimberley Bermenderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10942029127300871649noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9861040.post-68852562739717114232010-01-18T17:44:00.000-08:002010-03-02T18:14:09.952-08:00Catalog imagesHere's a composited shot of a catalog shoot that I recently completed for a green business in Santa Cruz. I love that we're getting so many local green companies in the area.

Here I am in new location, and yet I don't move off the black background. It's not that I'm incapable of swapping out my backgrounds (and yes, I do actually have a variety of muslins), but there's something just so very right about black for portraits - even children's. And I'm happy that my clients agree!<br /><br /><img src="http://www.maginei.com/photos/blog/blog-1010.jpg" /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Stoked Surfer</span><br /><img src="http://www.maginei.com/photos/blog/blog-1014.jpg" /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Sittin' in Style</span><br /><img src="http://www.maginei.com/photos/blog/blog-1017.jpg" /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Perfect Trim</span><br /><br />On another note, I've confirmed that the studio is actually large enough for a photographer, assistant, two kids under age five, a nanny and a mom during a session.

This is also the second year that maginei has created the photography for ABW Construction's submissions, in addition to designing the image layout for submission.<br /><br />This shoot had it's challenges, including photographing the front and back in the same day under really harsh lighting conditions and high winds blowing leaves constantly onto the set. On the other side, I had a great crew, we had lots of fun, and shared many laughs as well as sweeping duty. And here are the results:<br /><br /><img src="http://www.maginei.com/photos/blog/arch_1.jpg" /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Loggia</span><br /><img src="http://www.maginei.com/photos/blog/arch_2.jpg" /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Carport, rear view</span><br /><img src="http://www.maginei.com/photos/blog/arch_3.jpg" /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Pool</span><br /><img src="http://www.maginei.com/photos/blog/arch_4.jpg" /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Pool & loggia</span><br /><img src="http://www.maginei.com/photos/blog/arch_5.jpg" /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Panoramic view of back</span><br /><br />Copyright 2009 Kimberley Bermender<br /><a href="http://www.maginei.com/">maginei photography</a>Kimberley Bermenderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10942029127300871649noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9861040.post-12429423948996740982009-02-13T18:08:00.000-08:002009-02-13T18:16:46.533-08:00What's NewThese have been busy times, and I have a number of changes to share with my community:<br /><br />First off, and most business-changing, I closed the maginei studio at the end of the year, after being unable to secure a new space for the studio. I am still searching for a new studio location, and if you know of studio space available in Santa Cruz, I'd love to hear about it! So, what does that mean to you? First off, I continue to offer catalog and commercial services, but will have to set up at your location in the short-term. Location services continue unchanged.<br /><br />Have I stopped photographing? Not at all! Just a hiatus from publishing on my blog. In fact, I have great news and kudos to a maginei client, ABW Construction, who just won a prestigious architecture award using maginei photography. Did I mention that this is the 2nd year in a row? Congratulations to ABW Construction, and photos to follow.<br /><br />The last big item to share is that I am venturing into video - after helping out a good friend and cinematographer with a video shoot recently, I seem to have caught the bug. I'm in a steep learning curve as I discover the joys of audio, motion and location, as well as a completely different approach to visual narrative. I promise to share some results soon.<br /><br />Well, it's been a belated 2009 update, but please stay tuned as change seems to be the mantra of my year. <br /><br />Blessings to all,<br />KimberleyKimberley Bermenderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10942029127300871649noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9861040.post-41014811526173806962008-10-26T19:20:00.000-07:002008-10-26T19:27:11.502-07:00Personal Work: EuropeI've just spent two weeks in Europe (England and Italy), recharging the creative juice. I viewed more galleries and cathedrals than any one brain can absorb in two weeks, and have come back inspired from having the privilege of viewing works from so many great masters. It'll take me several years to digest it all...<br /><br />Of course, I managed a few shots of my own while touring. More to come, but here's one, at least....<br /><br />It was a strange time to be away from home, trying to follow news reports of economies crashing, 700 point drops, bailouts, buyouts, and the likes. I think this shot really captured my state of mind.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.maginei.com/photos/blog/europe1.jpg" /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">David Under Construction</span><br /><br /><br />Copyright 2008 Kimberley Bermender<br /><a href="http://www.maginei.com/">maginei photography</a>Kimberley Bermenderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10942029127300871649noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9861040.post-60901866004947247402008-09-23T19:46:00.000-07:002008-09-23T19:51:20.692-07:00Business PortraitsI've just returned from holiday, and realize that I was so busy finishing orders prior to leaving that I've been negligent about posting recent photo sessions.

Who said "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco?" Well, Santa Cruz is just down the road...<br /><br />On this wedding day, 8/8/08, we had perfect weather. Not only was the weather perfect, but this was one of the loveliest weddings in which I've been honored to participate. The couple were charming, location gorgeous, amazing light, fun friends and family... it truly came together as a perfect day.

Lessons learned from such an aggressive number of shots in a short timeframe: In order to maintain a high level of quality, we worked with a very tight process. A really sound, repeatable process ensures consistency, accuracy and detail - all critical factors when working on catalog images. It also helps that I had truly talented clothing stylists working with me. Fabric can be tough, and these shots really came together as we worked collaboratively to get the best images.<br /><br /><img src="/photos/blog/catalog1.jpg" /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Be consistent: Catalog images end up side-by-side, so consistency is key</span><br /><br />Copyright 2008 Kimberley Bermender<br /><a href="http://www.maginei.com/">maginei photography</a>Kimberley Bermenderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10942029127300871649noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9861040.post-67723126034944132992008-07-02T16:21:00.000-07:002008-07-02T16:24:57.530-07:00Happy 4th Weekend!To clients, friends, family, I wish everyone a fun-filled, safe long holiday weekend. I am heading to High Sierra Music Festival where I will be photographing. I'll post some of the results here next week, time permitting. I have a completely booked schedule next week, so bear with me if I lag a bit on the blog posts. Actually, I'm already lagging, as have several jobs that are yet to get up here yet.<br /><br />Happy travels!<br />KimberleyKimberley Bermenderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10942029127300871649noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9861040.post-29897339016066717482008-06-19T15:46:00.000-07:002008-06-19T15:56:12.904-07:00Band Promo Shots: When High Noon WorksI love a challenge: six guys, four locations, high noon, just over two hours. This session took a lot of scheduling to get the entire band together, and we had very few choices for timeslots. While many photographers will say they never photograph at noon, I actually find that with my style, which tends toward high contrast and dramatic, I can make that harsh light work in my favor. There were a few instances where I had to change spots to get the light, but for the most part, it worked out just fine. And the band was fantastic to work with - they're excellent models as well as musicians.

We were in Big Sur for three fun days of camping, great music, celebrating and enjoying ourselves with many friends.<br /><br />So what does a photographer do while on vacation? Well, Arizona Steve caught me in action, camera in hand. It's not often the photographer gets her picture taken, so thought I'd share.<br /><br /><img src="/photos/blog/kbinaction.jpg" /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">kb Caught in action.

Kennedy Jr.It was an absolute thrill to photograph Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as he spoke at the corporate event that I was photographing yesterday evening. His environmental message was so powerful and compelling that I almost forgot to photograph at moments! He followed his presentation with a book signing of his new book: <a href="http://www.riverkeeper.org/">the riverkeepers</a> (find out about the amazing organization behind the book at <a href="http://www.riverkeeper.org/">riverkeeper.org</a>). Here are some of the highlight moments of the evening:<br /><br /><img src="http://www.maginei.com/photos/blog/200805202030_1390.jpg" /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Robert F.

Senator Kennedy has given decades of dedicated service to this country and his nephew, as demonstrated at last evening's event, continues and extends the service of this great American family. A heartfelt thanks to both.<br /><br />Copyright 2008 Kimberley Bermender<br /><a href="http://www.maginei.com/">maginei photography</a>Kimberley Bermenderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10942029127300871649noreply@blogger.com1
