HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!!!!

      I've been working at Ultra the Night Club in Providence, Rhode Island since March of 2011 as a crowd photographer.  I had to work on new years eve and it was an awesome experience!  I took the opportunity to record the count down to the new years and made a video of it that includes some of the images I shot threw out the night, the video is below so you can check it out.

      Since I have been working at Ultra I have been able to pick up some great tricks, later on I will share a post on some tricks and tips.

Location shoot for Izulec Beauty Salon

        
               In December I did a photo shoot for Izulec Beauty Salon, that consisted of a group shot of all the staff.  They wanted one image to put on Christmas cards to give out to clients.  There's a big field in Lincoln going to the Community College of Rhode Island that I have been wanting to use as a location for a long time about didn't know what a good subject would be for it.  So when I got this job I thought that location would be great for this shoot, big area for a large group and the tones of the trees and grass would like great with the blue outfits they wanted to wear.
               I knew that I didn't just want them to be standing there so I got a table and chair set to pose them around to add some layers.  So about an hour before the subjects showed up I arrived to the field where I places the chairs and table where I wanted, placed a huge white sheet(20'x10') on a back drop stand that I was going to use to shoot strobes threw, and added a accent /hair light.  After metering all my lights I realized that I wasn't getting enough light from the to strobes firing threw the sheet, the accent /hair light wasn't going to do much, and I wasn't going to be able to over power the sun to nock out the back ground as much as I wanted too.  So I moved to the acsent /hair light behind the sheet to fire with the other two and got the look I wanted.  The lights I used were 3 White Lighting strobes; 2 X1600 and one X800.

Back from a great trip through Central America

Hello there everyone I haven't written anything in a long time because I was out of the US on a backpacking trip through Central America. I thought that I would be able to do posting as I went on my trip but it wasn't that easy, most of the time I wasn't able to get any Internet. So now that I am back in the states I will try my best to add a posting every day of a day on the trip.

On 7/26/10 I left from New York City to Panama were I started my backpacking trip. The first place I stayed at was Hostel Panama by Luis. It was a very nice place, very comfortable and in a very safe area of the city.

That First day I went to El Casco Viejo, that is the area of Panama City that is the historical part; the oldest part. The first thing that stood out to me was that there were a lot of women with color full dresses on and their hair covered. After asking why was they dressed I found out that they were ingenuous people and that is their typical attire.

There were a lot of little parks through out this area and I was really interested with the people just hanging out there.

I tried to do some shots with lighting with two Canon speed lights, didn't get anything I liked but hey at lest I was trying.

After a long day of walking threw historical Panama I was really happy with this shot and was ready for bed and to meet up with La Ruta Inka the next day.
