Just a heads up….blog is going to be on a bit of a hiatus for the next couple weeks as I’m going to move into a bigger place and going to start building my own home studio for more convenient photoshoot in the future. The next batch of photos are coming from the second shoot with MIRZA MPERIAL, here is a quick screen shot of the photos i’m processing through
Just found out that two of my photos are used by New York modelling agencies (Empire and Basic) for Missy and Megan. Woohoo! Megan with Empire Model Management from the St. Regis Shoot.
Missy Basic Model Management also from the St. Regis shoot.
UPDATE: you can see the polaroid photoshoot at Katelin’s post. Film photography has been in the air recently. Just a couple weeks back, I was told that I should start shooting film and start developing my own photos, (hence I spent my free time looking into F5’s and Mamiya’s.) Then over the weekend, I used an actual Polaroid camera for a quick and dirty photoshoot. Finally, today Kodak announced that it is stopping the production of Kodachrome Film. I’ve never really been big into film. I bought my first film SLR during my freshmen year at university. It was a Zenit 12xp featured below.
(Unfortunately this is the only photo I can find of my zenit. Keep in mind this was freshman year at university, and I think we were trying to create the most phallic looking camera. ’Pimp My SLR’ at its best.) Anyways…the Zenit was a full blown manual camera with only two dots to tell me if I’m over or under exposing. (they both flash if my exposure is spot on!) I had bought the camera with a whole set of random lenses in a silver case, I remember I use to haul case around town taking snap shots. After less than 10 rolls of film, I realised a full manual camera was quite a bit to handle and I didn’t know enough to control all the settings just yet. So a few months later, I bought a Canon Eos300 film SLR, a plastic GOLD one too. Fortunately I don’t have any photos of that toy. The little gold Canon was easier to use as I now had auto focus and auto exposure. So I slowly started shooting more again. Again after 10-15 rolls of film, I realised two things: 1) it is god awfully expensive to develop film 2) I am not learning anything as I see the results of my setting changes weeks after I take my photograph. So I went digital and bought my beloved Nikon D50 right before my 3rd year at university. Since then, I have neither touched a film camera nor developed a roll of film. But I have racked up hundreds of gigabytes worth of digital photos. Shooting digital was a much faster learning process as I could immediately see the difference between my settings, and I soon figured out what all the settings did as well. ——- This past weekend at Katelin’s house, we did a quick photoshoot with her Polaroid camera with less than 10 shots on it (as polaroids have been discontinued). Through those 10 shots, I noticed how much more planning and thinking I did to prepare a shot before I snap the shutter. With the convenience of digital, I have gotten into the habit of shooting 1000 or so shots per photoshoot. The digital message seems to be, let’s start shooting and we will change and set up as we go, I’ll eventually get it. Whereas with film, everything must be planned and set up for that one moment. It feels I should say something profound to end this rambling…but a bit clueless at the moment to say the least….just keep on shooting I guess. Recently I had the pleasure of shadowing Ms. Maryland, Nicole Ortiz. Check out her blog here. You can see and purchase the photos through Printroom here, otherwise just continue reading the blog for some behind the scene story of the event. This was the McDonalds LPGA Championship held at Bulle Rock Golf Course in Havre De Grace, Maryland.
I arrived early morning at 9, (had to get up at 6 to beat the traffic through the 2 hour drive). I had arrived with trepidation as the rain was coming down steadily and the grass was wet…fingers crossed all will be good. hit the link to continue on with the day. « Continue reading Behind the Scenes: LPGA with Miss Maryland » These are the snaps from my shoot with designer Taimur of MIRZA MPERIAL about a month back.

With all the photoshoots and events, I can’t even recall the last time I just shot scenery for the fun of it. Out of all the places Georgetown is the best place to do it…so many random sights. To kick things off in familiar territory….look at this gorgeous model!
