Ah...the light!

Yesterday, my favorite muse wanted some pictures. It was late, and we were really tired, but how can you say no to beauty?
As always, I wanted something unique for her. I had just finished another photo shoot the day before, my studio area was a mayor disaster. (I hauled 500 lbs. of sand in my studio, to make a dessert set) and it was cold. Sometimes you just need to stand still and let inspiration come to you. open your mind's eyes and ears.
It came to me, an old technique that I hadn't tried in years. A very classic painting look. It's called light painting or painting with light. Requires long exposures, a source of continuous light and a model who's able to be still for a reasonable amount of time. Well, I had my trusty Mag-lite, my muse and a pool green background. That's all it took. Love the feeling of the image. like a painting. an eerie feeling. dark yet warm.

Don't let your customers eat the set!

Or maybe just a little bit. But this time, my model was having way too much fun with my set. She even tried to eat my lightbulbs!
All joking aside, all my models and customers always ask me where I get all this weird ideas. I honestly can't answer. They just come, pop right in my mind. While I drive, in a meeting, while waiting in line for subway... I can say now that photography has officially taken over my life. Like it was a secret at all. I though I'll write something about the use of space. People always get surprised when they come over to the studio. Very small, but extremely flexible. Even more improvements to come. I'll keep posting it. For now, a picture of the birds that survived Rebecca's hunger...

Take a look at this place. Ugly, uninviting. The thing is, any place can become great. it just takes some imagination. not even a lot of gear.
While traveling in Mexico, a friend of a friend knew somebody who owned a coffee shop. I though that would be the perfect place for a shoot. The place was small, hot and really not all that inspiring, but a little of monkeying around, two flashes and some gels, and Voilá!

Something absolutely different and much more inviting was created.Now, I'm usually not into going and asking people to borrow their coffee shops. I must admit that this time, I just went with the flow. Model was a last minute friend of somebody I knew, my lovely assistant was and old friend who didn't work that day, and for my surprise, the owner of the joint said yes to let me borrow it. So, sometimes, all you have to do is ask.
I love this image, but I love more how it was created. with the bare minimum of equipment and a lot of fun.

People are not what you usually think they are...

And this is a good thing. It kills me not to be able to show images of our last shoot, but my lovely assitant/wife suggested me to blog about how people are not what you believe they are.

Like, our last customer, a very successful doctor, who wanted a gift for her husband. Our session was so great, and she was just not what I think of my doctor when I go to an appointment.
So we take one aspect of somebody's (our doctor) and we take for granted that she's all seriousness 100% of the time. Well, here we found she wasn't. She did great and sadly I can't post her pictures. Looks like a lot of people still are unable to separate work from private life. However,
more images from other shoots soon!
