2010 Here I come!

Herson — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 06:42:28 +0000

Yesterday I met with Lisa to go over the final details for the wedding which is next Thursday in Norfolk. This will be my first wedding for 2010. I will be shooting some interesting weddings this year including a trip back to Puerto Rico for another wedding in May. Stay tuned for more posts and images from the different weddings.

WOW! It’s been a while since the last time I posted something in the blog. I’ve been soooooooooo busy!
I will try to keep this as fresh as possible!

Ms. Knockout USA 2009

A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to do a photo shoot with Mandy for a Knockout Haircuts campaign. She won the Ms. Knockout USA 2009 contest and guess what? Yes, she deserved a photo shoot to celebrate her achievement and to be featured on the KOH website. Congrats to Mandy! Visit Knockout’s website and get to know her better. Enjoy.

Well it’s been a while since my last post. I’ve been super busy lately with shoots and some other stuff.
Last weekend I had the opportunity to go to Myrtle Beach, SC to shoot a wedding. The weather was horrible but thank God the ceremony and reception were indoors. I’m still working on those but will post a few ASAP.
I have a couple more photos I’d like to post here before the end of the week so stick around.

P.S.
I just found out I’ll be going to Puerto Rico in December to shoot a wedding! That’s the good thing about being a destination wedding photographer. Can’t wait!

Found my twin brother!

I was playing around the house last night with the strobes and this is what came out.
I used two SB-800’s for this one @ 105mm and 1/128th of power. Camera right and left.
Very simple but kinda weird to see two “me’s” watching TV on my couch.
One’s more than enough. Poor wife!

DIY Ring Flash

Herson — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 23:45:00 +0000

This was my first time doing something like this and I got to tell you it feels good. Good because instead of buying a $400 Ring Flash, I came up with one for only $19.26. That’s right! I ended up going to Lowe’s and grabbed everything I needed for my DIY Ring Flash. Here’s the list:

– Plastic terra-cotta planter
– Two 3″ PVC couplings
– Glue
– Metal tape
– Black spray paint

Also used some cardboard from a diaper box I had at home (thanks to my son for pooping so much ) and went to Michael’s to get some translucent paper. (scrap book section FYI)
The whole thing took me about 1 1/2 hours to complete and the results were amazing. It requires some cutting so careful out there with that razor blade. You want to finish the project with all your piggies still attached to your hands.
I was so excited that I forgot to take pictures of the entire process. Yes, MY BAD. But if you have any questions shoot it over and I’ll try my best to answer it ASAP.

Thanks for looking!

Just another day…

Well like the title says…..it’s Monday which means work, traffic jams and all that awesome stuff.
But…….I’ve had some spare time and I’ve been reading a lot about DIY stuff and I found David Tejada’s blog which is full of very well written and detailed articles about creating your own light modifiers. I think I’m going to be spending some time at Home Depot or Lowe’s tomorrow.
I will keep you updated with my new projects and “creations”!
Stay tuned!
