Week 14: So it goes on.


This week in film



Same as always. I had a couple of shoots and a couple of cancellation. I shot with Farrah again on Thursday at Lillie's place. Trying different things but not really. I did style her shoot though. First time ever for me.

First look we went for was that high contrast black and white with a body suit from American Apparel.


They we decided to have a bit of fun and go old skool with 'fro.


Still in the middle of editing. Actually I'm super backed up editing. I take a little bit longer now.

Anyway on Friday. I was suppose to have a shoot with a very experience and professional model from out of town. Shoot time comes around and she's not there. I get in contact with her and she's says our shoot is for tomorrow at whatever time. I double check via the iPhone and our shoot is for Friday that morning. She messed up. When I try to adjust the time and reschedule there was no response on her end. I moved on from that point.

Later that afternoon I shoot with a lovely model who not only showed up early, she wasn't feel all that great in the morning but still made it to the shoot. Such a trooper. She's from Tennessee and she pretty awesome. This was from my art portfolio. I shot with film. Messed up using the Holga because I forgot to check settings.

No edits on the film work. Just the way it is to keep real.

That's it. PEACE...

Random afternoon blog: 365 project = FAILED


I didn't take a picture on April 3, 2010. Didn't feel like doing anything. If you know me personally then you know. I'll still post pictures though of some daily activities on occasion.




365 is a difficult project. I'm trying to make the pictures interesting for viewer and come up with something new everyday. Some times the pictures were crap.

52 week project is still in full force.

Week 13: Did a Fashion Show




Shoot with Shelise again on Thursday. This time in Studio. She's actually really fun to work with. She loosen up a bit and was open to ideas and willing to get down on the ground for some creative shots.

This is the only shot I've edited so far from that shoot.

On Friday I did my 2nd Fashion show at the Aruba Hotel. Elle, who've I shot before contacted me a few weeks back and ask if I would take pictures of her fashion line for the show. I was down to do so. I actually offered to come early and do a mini-photoshoot to capture her whole line. Didn't happen like that though.

I got there around around 5:00PM and pretty much no one was there yet. They started to show slowly. Ever model had to do hair and make-up so I knew it would take at least a couple of hour so I step to the side and let them do there thing.

We had one major problem for the shoot. Where were we going to do it. Elle's original planned spot of taken over by vendors. So we ask if we could have some space to shoot. They gave a room fill with furniture and really ugly decoration. So we decided to walking around the joint. There was this bar in the Aruba called the Thunder Bird Lounge. It had a empty stage so I was like lets use that. After asking a few people we got the okay.

After more walking around and checking of the venue I went to check out the stage more. As I get there, there were people setting up band equipment for a live show tonight after the show. Now I have to find a new spot to shoot.

Near the rooms where all the models were changing and getting make-up done was a hallway with an outlet. I was like to Elle "If you're down, I just shoot right here". She was cool with that.

I actually knew a bunch of people there. Models I've shot with before and other photographers that recognize me because I have my picture up pretty much everywhere. Hell, Shelise was there. I had a couple of drinks with Andrew (A M Johnson) and shots right next to Drew (Andrew K.) during the show. Brain Hillburn was there and greet me after the show.

Before the show it was pretty hectic models weren't ready for the mini-photoshoot before the show. I only had time to take a couple of a few models before the show started.

These are those shots.





This was a major experience. It was also a little stressful. I think I'll have some help next time I go do this.

I think this is the most I've written in a while. Okay That's it for now. Till next time. PEACE!!
