One of the things that keeps calling my name is car photography, if you read my previews blog entry then you know how much I love cars. I love the challenge of finding the right angle, lighting and location to get great shots. I would love to have some of my pictures featured in car blogs and of course magazines. How to get into that is what I'm working on next. I will have to build a portfolio first, so if you know anyone with magazine quality cars let me know! I'll shoot for free and they get edited images in return for their time.
I have also been doing some personal projects, working with models has always been a stress reliever as I get to practice what I already know and try new stuff as well. Most recently I did a shoot with a gorgeous model by the name or Lisette Ramirez, her an I had talked about working together for over a year but timing was never right either for her or me. We finally got around it last Saturday and I'm pretty happy with the result.
She brought her team of hair and make up artist whom did an amazing job at both with Jaqui Gomez doing make up and Andres Tinajero doing hair, she also brought 3 outfits from Revive Boutique that Marlene Murillo styled herself down to the jewelry and they were FAWESOME. It was a great and fun shoot, everyone was having a great time laughing pretty much the entire photo shoot. Thank you guys!
If you're a photographer and would like to know my setup for this shoot then here it is. I tried to keep things simple with my lighting this time, using only 1 and 2 light set ups, the first and last shot (hat and b&w) were shot using only one light, the first one was using a 22" Beauty dish camera right at about 5 O'clock and about 5' form her and the b&w shot was using a Paul C. Bluff 86" parabolic umbrella placed at the same angle but further back, I'd say about 10' from her. The red top and black skirt shot was using a two light set up, the same beauty dish at the same angle and distance and also a a 32x40 soft box with a grid on it which was place camera left at about 10 O'clock, I did that to give the model and outfit a little bit more dimension and add drama to the setting. My camera settings were 1/160 ƒ11 ISO 100
Feel free to ask ANY questions in regards to this or any other images you've seen of my work and I'll be more than happy to answer. I will try my hardest to describe my setups and reasons behind it for every shoot I post from now on.
As always, thank you very much for reading. May your days be productive, your body healthy and your dreams BIG.
Take care and see you next time!
