Week 24: Dreams do come true.

Klarrissa


My main goal for the year was to be published in a actually magazine. When I'm not shooting or editing pictures, I procrastinate and network like crazy. Before I was pretty intimidated by others and didn't know if they'll take me seriously. I pressed on though and decide to start speaking up.

While on the forum I got to talking with a location model very activate in the industry and we strike up a conversion about a future shoot. We planned it out and set a date. Well anyway she got offered to do a spread in UK pubilcation and wanted me to shoot it for her. Of course I said yes.

These are some other stuff we did after the actually shoot.





She super chill and really down to earth.

Thanks for Farell Dee for the use of his Ring Light. He was a life saver.

Random early evening blog: I'm losing the faith.

I can't get it off my mind.

I'm losing all faith in what we are doing. How can people do harm to others. We're suppose to create a sense of happiness not instill fear in people.

It makes me not want to do this anymore.

Week 22: Not Right!


One of the most caring person I ever meet.



I'm feeling pretty sad at the moment. Maybe my heart is too big or I care to much but I can't help it. I had a good week of shooting but I heard a horrible story involving a really sweet girl and some assholes that want to call themselves photographers. I won't go into details but I can't believe would do such a thing.

If this is how the industry works then I don't think I cut out for it.

It's a truly sad world.

This is what I did this week.

Jade Bryce came in to town and I'm so happy I shot with her. She's genuinely a good person. She really wants to save the world. and I want to help.



Also shot with Cecilia who's from out of town and Danielle who's not a redhead anymore.

Hit this white wall.

Week 17: The Agency Test.

Ashley Bradford from LA respresenting eNVy.



I had my last art shoot of the Month on Sunday with Ashley Graham. We shot in a familiar place.



Got my Instant camera replaced.


I'm running out of place to shoot. I know that there are plenty but I want to do something different. Something to captivate people imagination.

Then on Thursday afternoon I shot with agency represented models from eNVy Las Vegas. I was contacted by Tori who I found out wast the executive assistant for the agency. This was my only chance to shoot with since both were live and work out of LA and would be leaving in the next couple of days. I took to the back of a shopping center, see running out of places to shoot.




Tori brought another model with her. Usually I don't like shooting 2 models at a time but this time I didn't mind. Her name is Ashley Bradford.



That was my week. What did you do?

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.

Fuji instax


Ricoh KR-5

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!!

Week 12: The team at the Studio


Rockin' a shoot in Studio

Warning: NSFW


Couple of shoot this week. First one was on Tuesday with Brittany II. Wanted to work with her from a while never got up the nerve to ask back then. She moved away and I thought that was that. Found out that she was in town for a short time. I figure when is the next time I'll get a chance to work with her. So I asked.

As I thought super cool model and even cooler person. Shot on location where we kind of snuck in. Really luck out with the location.




Then we hit the mean street of Las Vegas.



Here's some fun with my instant camera, the Fuji Instax.


Then had a shoot with Stefania on Friday at the studio. MUA Nickee was available and did make-up and of course Lillie help with the hair. Fun shoot. Only one picture right now. Still working on post.



That's it for now. PEACE!!!

Week 11 - More lighting stuff


You too can rock those lights at Xquizit Pix Studio.



I had 2 shoot this week. One on Thursday in studio and one at Town Square on Friday.

Thursday was with Miss Sheena Sisk. She's a Showgirl currently working in Jubilee. Anyway we did some ballet stuff and she needed more Headshots. The light set-up above is pretty much what I use to shoot headshots nowadays. It's pretty self explanatory. Only thing different is I used a 22" white beauty dish and I added another light to fill in the shadows on the left side of her face.

Here's the finish image.


So I was rockin' 4 lights and weird reflector thing which work wonders for bouncing light back into the model's face.

Here's another only using 2 lights. One Large Softbox to the right of the model and another strobe point at the wall to add a little bit of fill light.




Then of Friday I shot with Shelise H. A up an coming model just starting out in the industry. I took her to my favorite location spot, Town Square Las Vegas. We did a very casual shoot. Shelise was such a pleasure to work with and I had a good time working with her even though I was lacking some real sleep.
