I met a stranger guy in Malibu last Sunday July 24, while i was stopping by and scouting the location at the park cross street from Pepperdine University. He seemed to be very interesting person with his guitar at the place alone. so I introduced myself to him and talked a couple of minutes. After talked, I felt like i wanted to photograph him so I snapped a few shots in my iPhone. Well, i think he looks cool in the poses and the pictures were not bad though. I kinda like the images.

Beauty

Her name is Sharon. She’s a beautiful model. I have found her on Modelmayhem website and met her in person at Santa Monica Beach for the first photo shoot. I did her shoot as the beauty & fashion images with three different outfits under the pier and on the beach early in the morning. It was a beautiful morning light with all natural warm and cool colors. It took me three hours for the shoot. I was very happy to see most of her pictures came out with nice and perfect colors, great look, and natural skin tone on her face in my camera. It was fun and a great experience shooting with her.

After a couple of weeks, I had another photo shoot which was an indoor in the studio at Pasadena City. I did all beauty shots by using different techniques studio lighting's during the shoot. She looks so beautiful and amazing in every shot. I particularly like one with butterfly pieces that adorned on her neck and head. She stands out very well and looks amazingly beautiful. I think she’s one of the most beautiful models that I have ever seen. She has great personality, talent, and so much experience as a model. I would like to thank her for the time and effort that she put out for the two photo shoots. Very well done!! I am hoping to get more photo shoot with her in this spring season.

Environmental Portrait

On September 26, 2010 early in the morning, I met one of the amazing guys on pier at Santa Monica Beach. His name is Terry Prince. He is an acclaimed Singer-Songwriter based in the U.S. He was born in Deming, NM, a small Southwestern town, located 30 miles north of the Mexico border. He loves singing a song and playing a keyboard. His songs are of hope, love, and inspiration.

It's a beautiful day that I saw him while he was singing and playing a song on the pier. It was very peaceful by hearing all his love songs. So I was slowing approached and seated next to him on the ground with holding my camera at that time. After 10minutes later, I felt like to photograph him so I simply asked him a permission for taking picture. He absolutely said "YES" to me. So I took him a couple of nice shots from different angles. These are the pictures that i shots with Canon 5D with fish-eye Len. Thanks for being my singer model at Santa Monica Pier. I had a great time shooting with him.

Guitar Passion - Dino

My idea of taking these photographs is to represent his passion about a guitar. These images were taken at San Gabriel Mission Church, California in mid April. The place is one of the famous historical places in Los Angeles. I used Canon 5D camera with EF 24-70mm f/2.8 standard zoom lens and 70-300mm F/4.0-5.6 EF zoom lens. I took these pictures in four different spots at the same place. I had a great time working with him. He's awesome! I want to thanks him for the time and effort that he spent on his first photo shoot. Well done!
