About Me I am a photographer living in Orange County, CA. Having been heavily influenced by photojournalistic approaches to the art, I prefer shooting in dynamic or adventure situations.

Seasets II

Location: Corona Del Mar. Subject: Ocean sunsets, long exposures. I’ve come to really enjoy the drama of long-exposure water photography, but it’s probably one of my least practiced subjects. Fortunately, my talented photographer brother is always down for a road trip, so we headed to Corona Del Mar to catch the sunset. We labored through [...]

Location: Huntington Beach pier, Dana Point whale watching cruise. Subject: Ocean sunsets, seascapes, long exposure. Below are some random sunset photos from two recent excursions. The first three photos are from a New Years Day boat ride off Dana Point. It was supposed to be a whale watching trip, but ended up being just a [...]

2009: Year in Review

2009: Year in Review

Posted on December 30, 2009 by Jake Reinig in Beach, People, Photos, Scuba | 2 Comments

Location: All over the place. Subjects: everything. Since everyone else on the web does an end of year retrospective, I figured I might as well also. 2009 has been a good photographic year for me. I don’t know that I’m a particularly good photographer yet, but I feel as though I got to another level [...]

Location: Cardiff beach. Subject: beach swimsuit photography. I had a great shoot in Cardiff today with an amazing model. I’d tell you more about it, but it’s almost 1:30 a.m., I still have other work to do before bed, and I need to get my stuff ready for a long trip this week to Las [...]

Another Summer Sets

Another Summer Sets

Location: Huntington Beach. Subject: ocean sunsets. With one exception, I hate the end of summer (particularly this one, one of the best ever). In the summer we’re often too distracted by running around doing fun summer stuff that sunsets get neglected. When the days get shorter and the nights colder, I seem to have more [...]

After borrowing my camera back from my friend Becky, I decided I wanted to shoot some photos at the beach. It’s funny: I live very close to the beach and yet I almost never take pictures there. I think it’s because I see beach photography as somewhat cliche, and that’s a shame. When we stop [...]

I met with Tracy and Natasha today to do some beach photography. Of course, the clouds rolled in just as we got there, so we couldn’t take advantage of the light we wanted. Nevertheless, these two lovely ladies still managed to take some great photos. I’ll add more pictures later, but what I have up [...]

Danger Rides Again

I worked on a few more shots of Declan tonight and wanted to share them. I’ll try and add some more later if I get time. From a technical standpoint, the first shot is terrible. It’s out of focus, framed poorly, and just feels kind of awkward. But then you look at Danger’s expression (“what the [...]

(The Gills at the Beach :) ) Edit: More shots are available here. I met the Gills at Corona Del Mar for some shots in celebration of Danger’s 9th month. We lucked out and had pretty good light, although it would have been much better without the incoming storm blocking the sun. Here are all the [...]
