Thank you M. for spending time to photograph you this last weekend. You are a truly great model. I hope the best for you and your family. Keep up the good work! High Key Portrait.

Great Kid

Jay is a very happy kid. He has a great personality and I had the pleasure of take some photos of him the other day. Old filter was applied.

Halloween 2008

While being in an elevator with my daughter I asked her to look up. After a few minutes of postprocessing I came up with a concept that reflected the mood of the day. Most of the time you make photos and not just take them. Make your imagination add to the vision of the photos at hand. Good luck!

The Extra Mile

Picture I took of my daughter this weekend. She wasn't in the mood for this kind of picture, but I like to make her show herself in other ways. This way her character can experince new ways of seeing herself. This is also a good technique for your customer, you need to push the envelope with your customers and make them go to areas they never been at but they would like to try. Communication is the key to your success and theirs.

New Business Cards

Now, go and get me some business.

Harder than it looks...

"IT IS EASIER TO PHOTOGRAPH SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL BAD, THAN PHOTOGRAPH SOMETHING BAD BEAUTIFUL."

Creating art is not only defined in my book as a pretty photograph. Sometimes objects photographed scream for other mediums in which they can flourish. I tried this British Art Software to get the look I wanted from these colorful objects. Artistic? You be the judge, but I'll keep my opinion.

I Got Certified!!!

Usually when something that you do is important to you, you try to prepare yourself to be a good representative of such as skill, trade or craft. I set myself to do just that in my photography. The photographers that I admire usually come from such groups and institutions. These people live and sleep their profession. There is a lot to learn from them and I hope one day to be one of them. It is a goal to look forward. It is a goal to work for. I got my price of admission the other day by getting CERTIFIED. Now what?....world, here I go...

Always carry a camera, ANY KIND!!

It is always a good idea to carry a camera with you. Recently, I had the opportunity to photograph this nice lady. She was so happy to show me her engagement ring that I asked her to take a picture of her so she could send it to her friends and announce her recent engagement. She accepted right away. Fortunately, I had my Canon G9 and snapped a few shots. I got some nice pictures for my portfolio and maybe a wedding portrait session. Networking thru a point and shoot camera....
