UNDER THE SUN

Just a teaser…but it was a great opportunity to take these shots…I was expecting rain on the shoot date but I was very surprised the sun was cooperating a little bit….but nevertheless it was fun and congratulations!!!!

PALARCA AND WILEY SESSION

Now here is a family that I have known for a very long time and yes they are  one big happy family and I am glad that they have been a part of my life.  I was glad to photograph them and I enjoyed taking their pictures.  Here are some shots that are my personal choices and favorites.

On Point: Reyes

To long, to long, to long….

I finally get a chance to add some new pictures….It’s been awhile.  Just a little trip to Point Reyes, once again….good times, good times, good times, especially when the girls were trying to set their faces to look beautiful on the camera when the cold water of the pacific ruins it for them hahahaha….owwwWWW!!!!

NAN AND SAN FRANCISCO

Finally….she has arrived and here are some shots from our recent trip to SF…I didn’t realize how much things I’m missing from not visiting and touring San Francisco.  Here are some shots that I was able to capture….I need to take some time and shoot again….

KRESTA

Kresta’s day 2 shoot at the skate park…

 

Here are a few shots from the Kresta shoot.  Just a few behind the scenes.  

REVISITED…..

Just some older pictures that i found.  They seem interesting…I don’t know, I wanted to see how it looks converted to black and white.  

THE AESABELLE

This girl is crazy and a roughian….very tough yet girlish…all I know is this girl has as much poses as her change of clothes.  Here are a few shots of her, I will keep trying to put up some of the ones that I really like.  

THE BAUTISTA FAMILY

I got a chance to take some pictures of my relatives….here are a few shots from the session.  I wish I had a chance to take more but there was a sudden black out that ended the session early.  I tried to find the fuse box but was not able to find it at all.  The place just got too dark and I have to admit, it got a little scary…Being that we were in an old armory made it a little bit creepy.  

Im still working on black and white…I swear I need to practice everything…I did try also a sepia type color scheme with a texture…kinda cool..

NAUGHDY, VT AND COMPANY

So many things going on in this world…and so many things to do and things to be done but first and foremost, RIP Michael Jackson.  

Okay since I was able to say my piece, I would like to say that this group of artists that we got a chance to photograph are very talented and great company.  Very humble, down to earth and simply fun.  I had a great time setting up the studio with Amari and Mad to get our shots going.  Like I said, what a fun time laughing, pressing camera buttons and flashing the lights…..This time, the behind the scene shots I converted to black and white.  Im just trying to understand black and whites a lot more.  I feel as if I don’t know anything about it.  

But….Here you go….

MR. DES AND HIS MOM AND DAD….ooOOWWW!!!!!

Okay, so shooting in the studio is rough, I’m finding out the hard way by doing it and learning from it.  All forms of criticism is accepted specially the constructive ones…Those are the ones I really need…although it pops the balloons from time to time but it is all for the better.  If we don’t embrace criticism we will all be sailing on an ocean with no water….(Does that last sentence even make any sense)….
