Working in Paraguay

Since the end of October I have been working in Asuncion Paraguay. I work for Rochester Digital doing some consulting and teaching Photography to their team of 30 Photographers. I can tell how much I enjoy doing it. I havent made the time to post here more often. Shame on me…I will reedem myself posting some shorts animoto video clips of some of the work I have been doing here for the last two months. They all carry the Rochester Logomark because tecnically the images belong to them according to our contract.

Animoto allows gently any custumer to produce short videos with 12 images for FREE. THanks animoto

I would like to share some images of Jess Bridal session. we went to one of my favorite places in Provo to shoot.

Marta Elena

So, I don’t do pregnant session that often. I don’t have much clue about poses and pregnancy photos ideas.  So when Marta Elena asked me to make some photos of her I was willing to do it as long as she collaborates with the making of the images. I told her bring the props and choose a location and let’s give it a try. I am glad we did, she is beautiful and a joy to work with.

How do I photograph a pregnant woman? well, almost the same way I would do a non-pregnant one. I start with some shots to test lighting and to warm her up…

Then seek for a good place with plenty of light. In the middle of the day is becoming my favorite time to shoot.

Some head-shots…

One of my favorite moments was when the baby started kicking inside the mom’s belly.

I had a feeling that I would get some natural expressions from the mom because of that…

and she still kicking in there….

shooting from the ground…

from the side without moving her a completely different image

When the background is much brighter the subject gets darker very fast and it’s a great opportunity to tell a story with a silhouette image.

Then we headed to a park, the stop I wanted was taken by another photographer and while we were waiting for our turn I noticed that the light at 7:30PM of the sun setting was really nice one her and on the background. I, then snapped these frames really quick.

Engage Lizi + Dave

I present to you a couple in love.

They are both fun, I can see how they found each other and got connected.
Here are some images of Lizi and Dave engagement session.

Since that tree was of importance to them I told them to stay a little bit away from it to facilitate to add the tree to the composition. I also asked them to forget I was there and to talk about anything that brings a good mood to the scene.

I

I knew it was working because you can tell here that they did forget about me being there

Having some fun before we left the park in direction to the lake… we were thinking about getting some pictures with the sunset.

I make all my images in vibrant + vivid colors but I also add to every package complimentary black and whites because I know some people just love them monochrome.

Because the time I knew we would not make to the lake in time so I suggested a construction site on 1860 South Provo.

It’s fun to shoot a couple that has a fun personality…

when the flash doesn’t go off we can get the silhouette images that I always like to add 1 or 2 in every session.

 Lizi and Dave will get married at the Manti temple of the month of June, 2011. For more images of them in love you can click here.
