Eiffel Tower at Dusk

How do you capture images of something as iconic as the Eiffel Tower without turning it into a total cliche? Exploring around with my camera, I found this view of the base, set off against the fading light of dusk, pretty intriguing. As a tip, it’s always a good idea to experiment with angles and heights to find your unique view. BTW, we printed this as a special edition, custom framed and rather handsome on the wall. If you’re interested to know how this might look on one of your walls, let us know.

Video Production

We’ve been very busy helping a variety of companies tell their stories in an engaging and compelling way. As a recent example, Bebe au Lait, a wonderful company right here in Los Gatos,  asked us to craft some videos about their products for—you guessed it—moms and babies. Have a look at this one we just produced for them. The video was based on an interview with the co-owner and mom discussing the product she designed.You’ve heard me talk about why we like to start with a strong interview. It comes across as a conversation between two people because that’s exactly what it is. No one has to face the camera alone and try to remember lines and somehow sound natural. It’s really just my conversation with them, to which we add other shots illustrating what’s being discussed. BTW, for tips on video production, you can grab our free ebook here.
