A few weeks ago, Vu and I (The Bui Brothers) had a great time shooting photos of Justine Ezarik. You may know her as iJustine… if that is the case, please enjoy these photos of iJustine.
One of our goals was to give iJustine photos of herself that were unique and something out of her element. [...]

Makeup, styling and video (her first ever) by Tracie Cotta. Video shot entirely on iPhone 3GS.
Tracie set up this shoot with Micah, choosing “silent film” as our look for the shoot. We decided on Old Town Orange as the location… having an older look than most areas in Orange County. We also decided to add [...]

Khara Plicanic of Kabloom Studios contacted us about shooting a promo video for her some time last summer, starting the conversation… of course… via Twitter DM.

A few nights ago we shot a good friend of ours, Rudy Jahchan because he needed an updated headshot. Here is our favorite from the shoot:

Lan and I have been fans of Battlestar Galactica for quite a while… though he was into it well before me. I had thought it was a bit too geeky sounding for me… but finally he got me to agree to watch the mini-series… and I was hooked.
Anastasia and Matt do the successful shows BSGcast [...]

Here is the new Shootsac sale video! We have so much fun doing these videos for them.
During the shoot on the beach someone from New York came up to Jessica Claire and asked to take a picture of her. She gladly posed. I wonder what story that person will tell her friends when she shows [...]
