After the shoot – what happens?

In this digital world we strive to take amazing photos, with a wide selection in cameras, lens, lighting and all the equipment available now days it seems that now days there is more work to be done than before.

I still love shooting in film 35mm is always my way to go back and reflect on the things that have happened and how much I come to love this digital world we live in.

Post production its a totally different horse, many people and artist have their ways into this field and how they interpret what they feel the end product should be; while some agree with the finished product some might think its to much for their taste, the truth in my opinion is all about what the artist wants to interpret in that piece, no matter what the subject is there is a feel to each and every single one of the images and pieces that we create.

I will show you an image that many people say it is an amazing beautiful image, while we know the model is beautiful and the image was taken late that day it was the finished post production image that really punched everything into place.

I do believe there is an art on doing things and I said in on an interview from a local TV show; not because we have tools like photoshop, lightroom and many other fun digital tools out there we consider everyone an artist, not because I drive a pretty sexy sports car it makes me a formula 1 driver. A beautiful piece lies behind the artist that made it happened, without the feeling and passion one puts into a piece none can exist.

Thank you All

A Bohemian Park Walk

Photo Shoot for Julieta Ramirez a simple Bohemian look at the park.

I thought if giving the shoot a story and has she walks the park there is a story that only can be interpreted by the viewer.

Enjoy.

A Touch of Pink

Self Portraits

Today I decided to try some different tones on simple photos, lets see how they turn out. Mainly I use an 85mm and a wide angle 17-40mm both prime lens, set of two lights and white background.

The Beast Within

[from Revelation 1:3]
Blessed is he who reads aloud the words of the prophecy
And blessed are those who hear
And who keep what is written therein
For the time is near

[from Revelation 1:7]
He is coming with the clouds
And every eye will see him
Everyone who pierced him
And all the tribes of the earth will wail on account of him

[from Revelation 2:1-4]
Those of you who have not learned what some call the deep things of Satan
I know your works, I know your toil, and your patient endurance
And how you cannot hear evil men
But have tested those who call themselves apostles, but are not
And found them to be false
I know that you are enduring patiently and bearing out for my namesake
And you have not grown weary
But I have this against you
That you have abandoned the love you had

[from Revelation 2:9-10]
I know your tribulation and your poverty
And the slander of those who say that they are Jews, but they are not
They are a synagogue of Satan
Do not fear what you are about to suffer
Behold the devil is about to throw you into prison

[from Revelation 13:1-10]
And I saw a beast rising out of the sea with ten horns and seven heads
And a blasphemous name upon its head
And the beast that I saw was like a leopard
Its feet were like a bear’s
And its mouth was like a lion’s mouth
And to it the dragon gave his power, and his throne, and great authority
One of his heads had a mortal wound
But it seemed to have a mortal wound that was healed
And the whole earth followed the beast with wonder

Men worshipped the dragon for he had given his authority to the beast
And they worshipped the beast saying
“Who is like the beast and who can fight against the beast?”
And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words
And it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months
It opened its mouth to utter blasphemous words against God

It was allowed to make war on the saints and to conquer
And authority was given it over every tribe
And a people and tongue and nation
And all who dwell on earth could worship it in vain
If anyone has an ear let him hear
If anyone is to be taken captive, into captivity he will go
If anyone who slays with the sword, with the sword

[from Revelation 21:1-8]
Then, I saw a new heaven and a new earth
And I heard a great voice from the throne saying:
“Behold the dwelling of God is with men
He will dwell with them, and they shall be his people
And God himself will be with them
He will wipe away every tear from their eyes
And death shall be no more
Neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore
For these things will have passed away

To the thirsty I will give water without price
From the fountain of the water of life
He who conquers shall have this heritage
And I will be his God and he shall be my son

But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the polluted
As for the murderers, fornicators, sorcerers, idolators, and all liars
Their lot shall be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone.”

[from Revelation 22:10-13]
And he said to me, he said to me:
“Do not seal up the words of the prophecy, for the time is near
Let the evildoers still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy
And the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy
Behold, I am coming soon
I am the alpha and the omega
The first and the last
The beginning and the end.”

Amen

What are you gonna do?

Patron Saldivar

I was recently commissioned to do some work for this new comer artist that is coming out with his first album call “Con la Sonrrisa en la Boca” (With a Smile on the Lips).
Here is one of the images that were created for him; there will be a Calendar for 2012 coming out where I will do the photo shoot for each month and the calendar design.
