A Quick Talk About Volkswagens...

Models, get to know your photographer. Photographers, do the same. It really makes a shoot much more pleasant when you start feeling that you are not shooting with a complete stranger, but an actual friend that you can trust. And you can trust me. :-). 

I love Volkswagens. Alot. My tattoo should be enough to prove it right?

So when I was asked to shoot images of this VW Golf, why would I say no?

The Make-Up Series: Candy

Now remember last time I was going to write about a couple of make-up sessions I did with Diana. Candy (yes, that is her actual name) was one of her models. She is an absolutely incredible person to work with. I have previously shot her before as a birthday gift from her husband (expect to see a post about that...one day. lol). We had fun then, and we had fun at this shoot.


Movies and Photography

So I just came back from the movies theater after watching "Wrath of the Titans" (Quick Review: Better than the 1st one.) and I got inspired to write this because I noticed something about me that I guess I always paid attention to, but never realized it until now. I love lighting. I love how a certain color, shadow, or silhouette can create a certain mood. It kind of made me realize why I love Photography so much.


So as I was watching this movie, I started thinking back to a lot of other movies that gave me inspiration. I just never realized it until now. go figure. If I list them all, This will be a VERY long post, so I'll make multiple posts and list them as I go...

The Make-Up Series: Diana

In the next couple of posts, I will be highlighting the amazing talent that is Diana from Bella Lei Creations. She is both an amazing artist and person who added an incredible level of professionalism to our multiple collaborations. The funny thing is, she wanted one shot of herself. I was ok with that...
This is the image that came out.


But the story is not that simple...

Salon and the City

I love word of mouth advertising. It means a lot to find out that my clients, friends and family support my dreams everywhere they go. Word of mouth is how I got hired to shoot for this amazing beauty salon called Salon and the City.
I was meant to shoot the stylists and the the general shop, which I figured was going to be fine. Always be ready for the unexpected right? Well the day before my slave flash decided to "retire" and I was left without my "trusty" flash. Oh well. My mantra has always been "work with what you have, and the shoot turned out incredible!
