experimental fashion shoot
---
So about two months ago, I did a shoot with one of my closest friends.  However, because of school and work, I did not have time to edit until this weekend. I've been wanting to create looks that were more film like. After some experimentation, I realized how some are very earthy looking and I like that. It feels like me. Of course these are just personal works. I have no time to start taking commissions and stuff like I wanted to. I hope this summer will give me the freedom to start a small business until then I'm working on my editing techniques.

When I come around

Hello!
It's been months since I've last posted. So much has happened in my life that it has kept me from photographing. I'm currently back in Vegas for uni and of course still working. Most importantly though, recently, I purchased a canon T3i! The quality is fantastic. My goal is to revamp my photography this year and produce better work. Last week, I had a test shoot with my friend Sylvie. Here are the results.

*let me know how the quality is because I had to adjust the resolution and stuff on my comp. Hopefully, the colors are right when you see them.

I'll more work soon. I'm just happy to be back. :)

I was featured on Dr. Hurley's Snake Oil Cure last week.

Hello! I'm back in Nevada after my spring break. Plus, I have new photos to share.

This was a very brief shoot I had with one of my very good friends. It is also my first experiment with fashion photography in mind. For a while now I've been getting bored with doing self portraiture and wanted to start creating stories with other people in my photographs. After looking through work of my favorite fashion photographers, designers and magazines I'm very inspired. Honestly, I don't know a lot about fashion photography; except it emphasizes clothes, beauty and style. So I have a lot to learn. I think this change will push me to be more creative with my work and give me a sense of direction. This doesn't mean I won't be doing fine art/self portraiture anymore because it is part of who I am.

More photos to come soon!

It's been so long since I've posted. Quite a few things have happened. First, I turned 22 and for a present I got my first 35mm scanner! I've been experimenting with it for the past few weeks with some of my old photos (see below). I recently got offered a Resident Assistant job position at my university. It was a long process to go through (more than 3 months of interviews including a class) but all the work was worth it in the end. Two weeks ago, I had a short photo shoot with a friend of mine. I've started to take an interest in fashion photography and decided to experiment in that field. I'll explain more about that in a later post. Right now, I'm on a much needed spring break.

Here are some test scans:
