Herbert Damien

Wow, I can't believe its been 2 years since I have first met Damien. He and I have worked together on more than one occasion and I am so excited for every chance I get to work with him. Whether its in his Studio in SoMa or somewhere in the SF Scene, Damien is all over the place looking for that perfect shot. He has been a pleasure to work with everytime.

If you have the opportunity to shoot in the studio Cross your finger Moira is around. She is a doll that loves to help out. She is super friendly and always willing to share the Pop Crisp :-)

Damien and Moira... You two make a great team! I love allllll of the photos... Magazine pics, Club Shots, Studio Shots, Weddings... You guys do it all and you make everyone look amazing!

the hubs has interacted with Sapient photography several times over the years and always has great feedback. I think i've only been in front on their lense once recently at an opening event at Ambassador for a new series (program, parties? not sure the right term) they're doing in night clubs interacting with designers, make-up artists ad models in real night life settings. Very interactive, very creative and unique. Damien and his wife are charming and their work is very high quality and professional. If your'e in the need of a photographer I'd definitely check them out.

We hired Damien of Sapient Studios to photograph two back-to-back corporate events for us in SF last month. He did a great job at understanding and delivering the goals we set for him through our vision of the events. Damien and his team were extraordinarily professional and his photos really captured the essence of our events. We also loved his user-friendly photo gallery that allowed us to view all the photos and choose the ones we wanted to download. We will definitely use the Sapient Studios team again for future events!

Filmed an interview of a subject behind white backdrop. Lights are provided and for a filmmaker thats a dream come true. Usually you have to rent lights out or a company, this becomes cost effective in many ways. No need to spend time setting up, all the lighting is already set, utilizing their high tech light grid, it was simple and fast(and i mean fast) to start shooting. If you know what you are doing, this is the kind of place you would love to do your work at.
Overall, a pleasant experience, Damien even went out of his way and took some behind the scenes footage, that is the kind of people you dream of working with.

As the event manager of French Tuesdays, San Francisco chapter, I have been delighted to work with Damien, the regular photographer for all our events.
Not only Damien shows a rare sense of creativity and perfectionism in his work, but he also has this obvious shiny personality that actually contibutes dramatically to the greatness of his pictures.
I can only highly recommend him...
Bravo Monsieur!

Damien has a million dollar smile... and you... well you don't. The great thing is that he can make it seeeem like you have a million dollar smile. Damien is always out on the scene ready to snap the best photos. I've used his services for one of my events and he did a magnificent job catching the essence of our party!

Thanks Damien!

I had a great time during my photoshoot. I am so NOT photogenic but Damien made me feel very comfortable. The photos turned out fantastic, and Damien knows just the right angles and poses to make them look phenominal. And he gets just the right shot with the best lighting.

If you are looking to have extraordinary pictures taken, this is the place to do it. I will be back.

Damien and Moira were two of the friendliest, most helpful people I have come across in this industry. Not only is Damien an AMAZING photographer but the studio is comfortable and they are both so creative. The overall experience was smooth, fun, productive and the pictures he took turned out better than I could have expected- and way beyond any pictures I could have imagined or conceived of without their vision, assistance and delivery of an outstanding service. I will definitely tell my friends and return for any other Photography needs I have in the future--can't wait to use them in my wedding!

I was lucky enough to happen upon Damien and he was the perfect photographer for our Leadership Forum events held in downtown San Francisco and the Google headquarters. He is a true people person, and makes everyone around him who is photographing feel very comfortable. His professionalism and product were very impressive, and I will be using him when ever and where ever I can. Highly, highly recommend.

I did a fitness photo shoot with Damien today and it was fantastic! He was extremely helpful during the shoot and helped me figure out poses that looked great! The photos came out amazing I can't wait to share them. He also got all of the photos and edits to me within a few hours after the shoot. Super professional and amazing photographer! I would recommend to everyone!
