My Second Portrait Photo Session
Fujicolor Superia X-TRA 400
These photos were a personal favor to a friend that need them for his portfolio. I did not enjoy taking these photos because there is so much to take care of in a portrait session where your only set is a white background. If you follow this blog, then you know that I have already done a portrait session, but because the location was the beach the feeling was different; I think what scares me is having only a white background without mentioning the common portraint session chat: look down, look up, don´t smile but don look angry… aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrgggggggggg!!
However the results really pleased me.
I’m Back With a Cliché
Konica Minolta Centuria 400 (Expired)
My last post was on July 17th, five days before I’ve got my first job….. and know you can imagine why it took me too long before I post something else. I didn’t stop taking photographs, in fact I did upload some of them to my Flickr account but I just haven’t got the time to make a post here.
If this is the first time you visit my blog and you like what you see here, then I hope you come back because I’ll be adding new stuff for you to see; and if this is the second, third, fourth time, you see this blog: WELL DONE!!
My First Portrait Photo Session
Fuji Pro Plus 100
Once I read that in photography sometimes is good to get out of your comfort zone in order increase your creativity doing things that you would not normally do. In this case I decided to do a photo sesion with a friend of mine who likes to pose and loves to be phorographed.
The Market II
Kodak 100
I made these photos while I was holding some grocery bags with my left and the camera with the other hand on a sunday morning at my hometown’s marketplace. Because I was using a 100 ISO film I set up my aperture to f/1.8 and leaved the exposure at automatic with the autofocus mode on.
That day was really crowded so nobody paid me a lot of attention wich is good when you don’t want to get it.

She was enjoying a sunny sunday afternoon sitting on a chair by the river.
Traffic Signs
Fujicolor Superia X-TRA 400
Sometimes I feel stupid when people stare at me while I’m photographing traffic signs because I think they might be thinking that I’m a stupid for doing that; but if you look carefully you’ll realize that traffic signs can be beautiful subjects for a photograph and most important, they can give personality to an image that otherwise will be dull.
Goalkeeper
Kodak 100
An old friend from Secondary School and I went to our first Photowalk after 9-10 years of not see each other; I found him thanks to Facebook on the Intertet one year ago while I was at Veracruz finishing my degree and while he was at Monterrery working as a freelance graphic designer. Right now we both are living again in our hometown. Read the rest of this entry »
Mom’s Desktop
Kodak Pro Image 100
I was sitting at my mon’s desktop using her computer when all of the sudden I realize the light was perfect to make a photo; so picked up my camera, arranged the desk a little bit and then I made the shot. I think it will be a nice image to look at a few years from now after her retirement.
Green Ballon
Kodak Pro Image 100
A little girl having a momment of her own, she could not care less about what’s surrounding her. She was so inmerse in her green ballon that she didn’t notice me when I made her photo.
VW
Kodak Pro Image 100
I was walking down the street to the local lab where I get my film developed & scanned, when I saw this green old VW combi wainting for me to take its photograph. What I think makes this photo a good photo is the big white VW logo wich pops out of the green color, without it the combi wouldn’t look as funky as it looks.
