Kristen Shoot

Kristen Shoot

A few years ago I was working as a network admin for a law firm called Adorno & Yoss. I have good memories from back then. One of the attorneys working there was Kristen. I always wanted to ask her for a shoot, but being an employee there I felt that asking one of the attorneys to pose for me may come off as...rude? So I never bothered.

Death of a Mermaid

Death of a Mermaid

I was looking through some of my unpublished work the other day when I come across this shot. It was a bikini/swim wear sunrise photo shoot. The problem was that the clouds completely blocked off the sunrise and as such I was forced to try other things, other camera angles to try to salvage the morning. In this particular shot, I asked the model to lie down on the sand for some shots, when she recommended perhaps doing a topless concept, but being covered with sea weed. Winston, my assistant, was with me so I take a look at him. I felt a bit shy about the notion since there were people at the beach and I'm not used to shooting implied in public places. I said go for it.

Amy Training

Amy is a co-worker with a background in graphic design. Often times, when I used to work in her office, she would come along and show me and another IT Co-Worker some of her work. Never failing to impress us, she one day showed me her photographic work using a point-n-shoot camera. Since then I have encouraged her to purchase a DSLR for her photography. She finds out later on that I shoot photographs for fun.

Katie Shoot

Katie Shoot

I had the honor of photographing a lead clothing designer in South Florida recently, Katie from www.ShopTruffle.com. The original intent of this shoot was to shoot simple shots with a white background to add to a web catalog. Nothing fancy was required. I did go ahead and did the simple white background thing, but while editing I noticed how colorful her clothing line was, so it sparked an idea. Why not make the background a bit more interesting and augment the colors she is wearing in the shots? Paint! I have also been experimenting with a different editing technique on the skin. Keep in mind, she made the clothing herself. Enjoy.

Lost Pants and Weird Mask

So Monika. I haven't shot her in years. We caught up again on Facebook and she told me about an idea she wanted to try. Me being open minded about concepts, agreed to try it out. Her idea was to wear a big white shirt, tie, and a pair of shoes....in the middle of woods or something.

Sure :)

So, we met up with Moni and she introduced me to her make up artist friend and her friend's sister.  Elena, Blu, and I greeted them and we walked around the park. We found a spot and we were good to start. I told Monika, "Well, time to change!".

Where do I change?
Umm, look around you. Go do it behind a tree?
Behind a tree?
Yup


She blushed and laughed. She said sure. Shy models are awesome. I should really invest in one of those portable tents models can change into.

They went off into the mysterious dark woods to change and apply make up.

I brought with me a V for Vendetta mask I borrowed from my brother in law. I decided to mess around with it while the model got ready. Elena took hold of the camera, I put on the mask, and we played around a bit.


Here is one of the shots we did. Elena was helping me find a pose. One thing that she mentioned was that I seem more comfortable in front of the camera while wearing the mask. Hmm. It was an interesting comment and one that I would have to analyze later. Till then, I just had fun while I played weird model and she played professional photographer.

Moni comes back wearing an over-sized white t-shirt, a red tie, and heels. I was like, "Woah! Moni! That's way too sexy for me to shoot! No thanks!". Elena reprimanded for trying to make the model more shy lol. Moni laughed and seemed to enjoy my sense of humor. Well, I think everyone did. Except for Blu. I think I bored her because all she was doing was sleeping. :(

C'mon Blu!! Daddy is not that boring is he!?!?!



I had her pose on the stump that I was using to mess around with the mask.
This is what we ended up getting. I call this one... "Cute girl with white shirt and she lost her pants but she's wearing a neat tie and killer black heels in the middle of no where!". Neat name eyyy? I know.

So Moni brought other clothes to play with during the shoot. We walked around and I tried looking for a scenery that could be remotely interesting. So we find this stump. Hmm, what to do with it? I don't know.

I set up my camera and asked Moni to pose with it. She asked me how? My response?

I don't know.
I don't know either. lol

Ok. So, I stood next to the stump. I closed my eyes. I told myself, "If I had long hair, boobs, black outfit and holding a killer red looking jacket I wouldn't be here." Yes. Talk about inspiration eh? I lacked it that moment. So then I thought, "Hmm, if I was some dude trying to tell some chick how to pose for me while I wear this awesome V for Vendetta mask, how would I ask her to pose!?".


LIKE THIS! So the girls laughed at my silly poses and Elena picked up the camera and started firing away.



Give me "Angry", but be sexy, but Angry!, but kinda fashion-ish while doing it. Not sure what I really meant by that, but this is what she gave me .






I had a ton of fun shooting Moni.  I look forward to our next shoot.



P.S - Moni, if you are reading this, pic your favs so I can edit them already thanks!
