At Hara Partners, we have a lot of awesome events. You may already be familiar with our New York eCommerce Meetup… But we have a lot of other awesome events around the city.
You can read all about how Malcolm Gladwell spoke at Magento Imagine 2014 below. We’re also really active in Netsuite’s Suiteworld conference and the Magento conference.
What else? Well, we also have these awesome one-off events where a company like DBG Talent & Model Management will commission us for a model shoot. It shows that nerds do like to party sometimes.
If you ever want to be a part of our awesome events or photoshoots, you can always sign up for our New York eCommerce Meetup. Or if you have anything else in mind, you can contact us with your prepositions.
At Hara Partners, we’re always eager to get together to meet other geniuses to see what’s on their minds. It’s always great to be a genius and know your technical stuff, but what’s the point if you can’t share it with the world? Our eCommerce Meet-Up is the best in New York City, but we’re always ready to join other events as well.
Tech events are uber fun, and we’ve met some really great and talented people at them… Some of our past speakers include Dave McLaughlin, who founded Vsnap, and Mauricio Rubio from Dr. Jays. But remember, that our events would never be as awesome as they are if we didn’t have tech aficionados such as you guys to come by and see them. Yes, we owe a lot to our fans… And not just fans, but anybody with an even passing interest in tech, who come to our events and—for better or worse—become converted into one of us.
February 25th features the one and only, Ryan Fong, displaying a deft application of having fun in Dad’s photography studio at HARA Partners / Fashion Tower Studios.
We start off with a step by step, photo recap of Ryan doing what he does best… being a 3 year old boy!
Dedicated to my special boy… love Daddy.
Stay tuned for Max (just need him to get a little bit older before we throw him on set!)
DBG Talent & Model Management commissioned HARA Partners to shoot their model, Chris White, for a model comp card. Head shot, body shot and wardrobe shots were done in a span of 4 hours as we were able to shoot and print for Chris’ aspiring model career.
This is not the first time DBG Talent has worked with HARA Partners as we’ve helped launch model, Elieth Doyle’s career. We wish DBG Talent and Model Management as well as Chris White, much success!
Vernon Fong, Creative Director of HARA Partners, directed Leo Fong on an intense photo shoot of Rachel Schnipper’s Aeron Chair. The goal of this shoot was to provide detailed shots of Rachel’s chair so that she can sell and ‘make a lot of money’, per Leo…
Leo helped Vernon set up the studio for backdrop, strobe lighting, moving sand bags, and V flats for the proper lighting. And with great care and precision, Leo positioned the chair for the optimal viewing angle.
Here we have Leo setting the chair in the proper position
Once the chair was in its proper place, Leo put his artistic eye behind the camera and snapped off dozens of shots until Vernon approved of the final image. Look at the wonderful details and positioning of the chairs lever!

After an intense photo shop session for cropping and image manipulation, Leo was happy that he achieved a great day of shooting. We only hope Rachel is happy with the results!
Satisfaction of a job well done
Satisfied with a hard day, Leo decided to show off some of his legendary kung fu skills, the secret art of the Flamingo Style! Be careful because Leo is deadly with his one-legged stance!
