Sitting back enjoying some channels on YouTube. I started to watch Lindsay Adler's channel, where she was doing a shoot with Mylar. Wow, this was a pretty cool idea and something like trying. I had the perfect team in mind for this project.

Ok, ok, it's been a minute since the last time I uploaded to Youtube. Just wanted to get a little better at vlogging. Haha, still not good at it, but what the hell. But I did put some investment into my video production with a new camera, mic, and lights. My hope is to try to post a video once a week. But we'll see how that goes. Here is the link for today's video.

Got a call from a videographer and good friend Anthony about doing a car shoot for a calendar for 2019. This was to be one of the coolest and biggest photoshoots I have ever done. 14 Kia stingers in multiple colors, three models, three photographers, two makeup artists, one clothing designer, one hair stylist, one wardrobe stylist, and one videographer.

So before I had a studio. 90% of my shoots were outdoors and in all types of crazy weather.

In this shot, we only had about 15minutes of shooting before it started to rain. But it made a beautiful backdrop for this shoot. I love to do more motorcycle shoots this year if my schedule and weather permitting. Don't want to create any waves, so I have to thank my friend for letting me shoot with his amazing motorcycle.

I could not believe it when Shaina ask to collab with me on a shoot. She is truly, one of my most favorite models. I remember our first shoot, she showed up at my studio with a broken toe. And yes "Dangerous curse ahead"

So actually this was the first project shoot I’ve done in St’joe, Michigan. You know you had a good shoot when your model fall asleep on the way home. I should have submit this image to a high in magazine.

This was one of my favorite shots. It took over a month to set up. And since it was on a Sunday, we wanted after church for Anthony. Can't leave my videographer behind lol. Thanks to my friends at Eagle Pointe Harbor for having us.

I show up to my first ever photography conference with my new Sony A7R III camera and 35mm Nikon F100 film camera. So, my luck the brand new camera stop working and left me with 4 rolls of film to work with that day. So I left my camera with a Sony Rep to see what the problem was. He found out that the aftermarket battery grip had lockup my camera and he had to reset it. But glad I shot with the film camera, the images look awesome. But also glad my new camera was not broken.

Yup, so I had a chance to shoot with a racecar. So it’s only right that I have a pit crew lol. I remember that day was so hot that the models had sun burn and I had a headache for two days from the heat.

Models: Chanel Jones Amanda Christine Erika Ocampo

So after selling my Canon and Nikon gear to KEH cameras. So this left me with one digital camera and one film camera. Which is really like having one camera. It’s okay for an amateur or a hobbyist to only have or need one camera.

I remember calling this shoot Super Truck Sunday and don't remember if we actually shoot this on a Sunday lol. But still an amazing shoot.

Model: Kaira

Yup soooo, I been waiting to shoot with Valerie for over five years and we created some amazing images.

Model: Valerie Villegas

All my shoots are not surrounded by fashion. But some of my images tell a deepest story. I remember being asked to do this project with a friend and videography Anthony about raising funds for children. So, of course, I said yes. But I didn't know what I was getting into was so powerful that it would give me nightmares.

As long as I been shooting with cars and models. You can’t have any model with any car. You have the have the right model for the right car.

Model: Heaven J Love

I wanted this image to have a 60s classic vibe to it. I think I nail it. Loving how this image turns out.

Model: Shaina Poland

My first magazine issue for 2022 and usps lost my copy. It took over two months to get another copy. Normally just be all my work in the magazine. But this issue I feature some other amazing photographers. Oh and go check my magazine website. I updated the design. Man’ I love this sh-t.

Most of my photography career I shot a lot work that you can say is very sexy. But did feel like it was what people expect out of my photography. Like why is he shooting images like this when he’s in a relationship and to add my two cents, a very beauitful woman and three beautiful doughters

 I love browsing through Instagram looking for inspirational images that can inspire me for my next project. Or sometimes I asked the models do they have any inspirational images that they would like to shoot. So one day sending Iesha some of the images from our last shoot

Have you ever looked at an image of an outfit online and ordered the outfit. But the outfit doesn’t fit like the image you have seen on the website. So this will happen that way if you don’t plan your wardrobe for your photo shoot.

A throwback from 2016. Been looking back at some throwback work I shot on the beach for new software I got called Luminar Neo. I have to say, I like the image how it is. But this new software has a feature for replacing the sky. Hmmm, let's see what it do with this image, or is it better to leave it like it is.
