After a Loooong Haitus...

So, it has been years since I've actually picked up a camera. Of course I have my cellphone camera but, it's just a common snapshot that I like to take. I just haven't been in the mood for any artsy shots. I lost my passion for photography. But lately, an ember has started to glow...

And here I am now, new camera in hand and try to re-learn all the techniques from manyyyy ages ago...

Well, first up, get used to the new cam....my hubby and I decided to do a shift from our favorite camera brand, Nikon to a mirrorless one...Sony. We would have loved to go with the A7 full frame camera...but it is currently out of our budget. So instead, we decided to buy the Sony A6000. We read and heard many good reveiws about it and this will be the camera I will use to get back into the photography groove....

My first step is to get used to the camera....I don't know why but I am sort of shying away from pressing the shutter to the camera. I have a fear that every picture I capture must be beautiful and perfect. I need to get passed that in order to actually start learning and getting to the point that every picture I DO take IS beautiful. But I need practice, practice practice. So I have set out to take the camera out at least 3-4 times a week and practice shooting.

I started this today...my FIRST photoshoot....and I chose some models that I am very sure are NON judgemental... my two beautiful golden retrievers, Charley and Riley.

Charley seemed to be a bit shy and sort of didn't want his picture taken. But Riley was a born model...

These are my favorites....


CHARLEY & RILEY


























 After all that play, its time to rest.....

Till next time....

Mechanics of Wardrobe Selection for the Open shoot

Today will be the start of the wardrobe selection.... How will this work.... You will get to choose your skirt according to slot number....so if you reserved first (slot#1) you will get to choose your selection first.... here is a sample.... there are 10 skirts - skirt1, skirt2, skirt3....and so forth... first person to reserve is slot#1.... she submits her top 3 selections - skirt1, skirt3 and skirt5 slot#1 is assigned skirt1 (which is her first choice) slot#2 submits her choices - skirt1, skirt 2 and skirt4 slot#2's first choice is already taken, so slot# is assigned skirt2.... and so forth until everyone is assigned a skirt.... its better to rank atleast 5 so you can be assigned right away.... At the event however, once one is done with a skirt, you may still opt to use it as a second outfit..... I hope this is clear for everyone...I can't wait!! I'm off to finish cutting some of the skirts so i can post more later....

Teasers Modeling Workshop Openshoot

Last Saturday I attended an openshoot.. BASIC MODELLING (FIRST SESSION) ORGANIZED BY KATHERINE CAMILLE TOVERA OF PH EVENTS GROUP APRIL 18, 2016 QC PARKS & WILDLIFE (TEAHOUSE) The morning was a modeling workshop for aspiring models followed by an openshoot in the afternoon. I was unable to attend the workshop for models in the morning but went to the openshoot around 130pm. The shoot had already started but some of the ladies were still being "made up" by the makeup artists... I was just observing because it is one of my wishes to one day also be a makeup artist too... another side of the spectrum :-) My goal for this shoot was to work on my "focus" Lately I had noticed that some of my photos were leaning on the soft side. Although it gives a feminine soft look, I was unhappy. I wanted a super clear super sharp photo. So i discussed it with my husband and we came to the conclusion that my hands must be unsteady and the effect was camer

PATRICIA | OUTDOOR BEAUTY PORTRAIT SESSION

"A warm smile is the universal language of kindness " - William Arthur Ward Most of the times, we want models to have a far away serious pose..it gives the photograph mystery and drama. This model certainly has that down...she is awesome at projecting.... Yet, what I love about shooting her is her smile... it also has that mystery like you just want to know what mischievous plan is she brewing up now... very lovely... Here is Patricia from the Basic modelling workshop on June18, 2016 PATRICIA https://www.facebook.com/369708589743959/photos/?tab=album&album_id=1057573924290752 For Classic Beauty Portrait Sessions, you may send me a message on my facebook page:  https://www.facebook.com/EarthlyVisionz/ Smile and Stay Beautiful...Happy Shooting...
