Michelle C. and Elena O. two amazing models

This past Saturday I had the opportunity to shoot (as in photographed... I'm not a violent person) two amazing models, one was Michelle C. MM# 2992738 and Elena O. MM# 607726, I'll share this pictures with you as a teaser and later next week I'll show you more, enjoy them.....

Do you do your own retouching?

  Many people have been asking me that over the years, the answer is "YES", I learned Photoshop before I learned how to take pictures, so when I started taking pictures some years ago of kids, couples, weddings, quince's, sweet sixteen, well you get the idea, I have done it all, the easiest thing for me to do was to do my own retouching.

  I continue doing my own retouching because I want to control the whole process, after all, your pictures are the first thing people see, even before they call you, at least that's what I do when I look for models, if the avatar that they use is not what I'm looking for or it looks amateurish I don't even look at the rest of the portfolio.

  That's the reason why I do my own retouching and that's the reason why in a photoshoot I do not give the model all the pictures, I give the model only the ones that are the best and that have been retouched, how many pictures I give the model? well that is a topic for another post, but believe me, models are happy with the pictures they get...

 Below you will see examples of pictures so you can have an idea of what I can do, enjoy......

  The Last picture was taken but the amazing photographer Neil Van Niekerk, you can follow him at http://neilvn.com/tangents/, I just did the Digital Composition.

Olesya Shayda

Few weeks ago I had the pleasure to work with this amazing model, her name is Olesya, she is only 21 Yrs. old but when you think she is too young and maybe not serious about modeling you get a big surprise, many models don't call you back, don't answer emails and many, many, "flake", but Olesya is different, since the first email I knew she was responsible because she answered, ( sorry to said but you get very disappointed with models) and every email after that to coordinate clothing and ideas I always received an answer, that showed me that she respected my time and it's something you appreciate from models.
The day of the photoshoot she was prepared, make up done and always an smile on her face, we work until late on that day and she was always smiling, it's great to meet a model so responsible, professional and amazing, specially when she is so young, oh yes, you want to see some pictures from the photoshoot? here they are, enjoy...

Pablo E. Gonzalez

Pablo is a model from Puerto Rico, I have a lot friends from Puerto Rico and they are amazing people, Pablo is not the exception, he is a great young man, very professional and even though I have to confess that photographing male models is not something that I do, Pablo made it very easy for me to get great pictures of him. After a while I thought "maybe I can be a model" but then I woke up from my dream and I realize I don't have the body, height or looks to be a great model, anyway, below you'll see a few pictures from this photoshoot, he was great.

 

Sannie "beautiful eyes" Pedersen

This beautiful model is Sannie, she doesn't call herself "beautiful Eyes" but after you see her pictures you'll understand why I call her "beautiful eyes" Pedersen. Sannie is beautiful (not only her eyes) and her personality is amazing, the studio where this pictures were taken was hot, the air conditioner was on and there were fans circulating the air, but we were sweating and Sannie never complaint, is a pleasure to work with a model that is beautiful but at the same time she is great as a person, if after all that you don't believe me, check her pictures and you'll agree with me.

The beautiful Joni Koay

Few days ago I gave you a preview of a photoshoot that I had with four amazing models, one of those models was the beautiful Joni Koay, she is an amazing person, during the whole photoshoot she was laughing, joking and gave me some amazing poses. I can write all day about her and how it was so pleasant to work with her, but I know you want to see some pictures of this beautiful model, so here they are, enjoy...

Models Photoshoot

This past Saturday I had the opportunity to shoot 4 amazing models, they were great, always smiling and very professional.

 I'm very busy so I'm posting only one picture of each model but within the next two weeks I'll do a post for every model ( I hope), Enjoy..
