Workforce Development Council - Annual Report

 

We did photos again this year for WDC’s Annual Report and met some pretty inspiring people in the process. Musilma is a nursing student at SSCC and a mother of three. She finished her LPN and is now going for her RN after WorkSource helped connect her to the program and find resources to pay for it.

Carl worked with Asian Counseling and Referral Service at WorkSource to get necessary computer training to move up in his job. He’s a single father of a young girl and has been on various public subsidies for a long time, but on October 1st he will start full time in his new computer position making enough money to fully support his family.

Who knew the airport could be so much fun!

We had our Sea-Tac Airport concessions shoot last week - and what a blast! Our all women crew zipped around the airport in our own motorized cart (courtesy of our fabulous driver and part time model Steph).

Photographing one our favorite Seattle spots - Top Pot!

Last week we shot at one of our favorite places in town - Top Pot Doughnuts! We got to work again with one of our favorite designers, Christine Godlewski of Genius Creative for Top Pot’s new website (coming soon). Mark, the owner, was a blast to work with and even sent us home with a box of doughnuts to take to our next day’s photo shoot crew out at Sea-tac airport (more on that adventure later)… 

Thanks goodness those doughnuts are trans-fat free!

San Francisco & Fitness 19

We just got back from a Commercial shoot in San Francisco. We were hired by Eben Design here in Seattle to photograph Fitness 19 - a fitness company with over 100 different locations across the Nation - down in the Bay Area. They were wanting to update their website using real people who actually work out at their gyms.

Here are some images from the shoot!





Maui Wedding

It’s moments like these where it is so easy to love this job! We had the pleasure of photographing a fun couple on their wedding day in Maui. We started out with at the Grand Wailea and then on to their ceremony on the beach.

Here are some photos :

Mendoza (Argentina); Wine Country & Marita Lavosier

Heres’ a cool story - we met an incredibly interesting woman who reminded us a bit of Georgia O’Keefe. Here name is Marita Lavosier and she’s an artist who is quite famous in that part of Argentina. We first noticed her work at a the little artist hotel we stayed at, Parador Del Angel. After seeing her paintings all over the valley, at Bodega Salentein and Zuccardi we finally, on our last day, asked the owner of our little boutique hotel about her. It turned out that Marita is his mother in law and we got a private tour of her studio. Long story short we did a photo shoot of her and her work that afternoon and got to keep one of our favorite pieces. An interesting shoot with my minimal Spanish skills and Marita’s minimal English. Here is some of the shoot…

Argentina

We took our first trip to South America this year! We visited Argentina and took a quick peek at Uruguay. We stayed in Buenos Aires mostly, renting a great studio apartment from ByT Argentina in Palermo Viejo (a fun, hip section of the city) and visited Mendoza (the Napa Valley of Argentina).

Here are some pictures from the first leg of our trip.

To blog or not to blog

Thanks for checking out our blog!

For the past few years we have been watching the blogging explosion on the net. We’ve seen everything from the comprehensive diary type blogs (with folks recording their daily comings and goings) to the pure business blogs designed to sell their website space to advertisers.

For us, we have decided to keep things simple (and hopefully interesting) by putting right out front our intentions. This won’t be a gallery of everything we do - but check in with us when you can to see some of the fun stuff we’ve been doing.

For those of new to Redstone Pictures, we shoot commercial, weddings, portraits and fine art. We will break down each shoot to these main categories, that way if you would like to check out a certain section you can skip the rest. Let us know if you have any feedback. We don’t want to ramble on and on without any listeners.
