stars and lights



















i had the opportunity to do some shots for this wonderful girl who's beautiful but whose personality is as beautiful as she is. again, because of my work schedule i had to split her session in two (something i don't dislike really). we shot some photos at downtown and others at a park. i got to experiment with reflectors and prisms. i'm happy because little by little i feel that i have better understanding of light. 

hopefully in the next couple of days i will be able to shoot something personal and start writing like a journal. that would be nice and therapeutic in these times of stress. 

NEW PROJECTS


so, i haven't got much time to post lately but i'll try, i'll try. sometimes i feel like writing in spanish, sometimes i feel like writing in english, so bear with me. i got to shoot these photos with a beautiful girl. we had to split the photoshoot because the first day it rained on us. it was the first session i had in a long time with just one person since i began working and it was weird but fun. i noticed i gained some confidence and that i can actually direct my clients in order to get natural but posed shots. i don't want to rely a lot in spontainety because some people are actually very shy, so i try to be in between, i tell them to pose and then i say something to break them, and that's how i get some of the shots. this one had both spontaneous and posed photos, but that's okay, i ended up liking the photos and she loved them. my approach was more of a fashion photography kind of thing, although i know i'm far from having photos like that, i'm pleased with the results because it's a part of photography i didn't explore before this photoshoot.

i'm feeling much better every day in regards of what i do and i'm sure this is what i want to do for a living. i'm trying to balance myself between my job and my photography job but it's hard. i have to postpone many appointments and sessions with clients but hopefully that will change next semester; i'll see how it goes.
