THIS IS JUST A TEST

Well, actually, it's not. I say that so there is no expectation, a free-of-judgment area, an extra credit on the quiz. 

When someone gets photographed by, the guesswork is already taken care of. I spent a few hours planning the lighting and composition, So the seat was already warmed up to get their pictures. 70% of the time, the test shot ends up being THE shot. In preparation for open studio, I spent a couple of days in the studio testing and making sure things looked halfway decent. Sometimes when I prep, the image looks different from what I initially thought, so it takes a few tries to get it right. After a few hours of finetuning, I had my good friend Aaron sit in. Within five minutes of the test, we got these two images which I love! Sometimes the test is the real test, not the shoot day. 

TRAVELING PHOTOGRAPHER DUBAI: THE VILLA

So…here is the thing. Dubai IS HOT! I mean like spicy African pepper hot, like New York J train in the summer hot. I just remember sitting down outside melting while admiring the view…Weird i know lol. I went to dubai to shoot the new PINK LABEL collection. That part was fun, well…90%. You see, I was trying to be “Mr.Photographer with hair on his chest” climbing on things to get the shot. Well the shot looks dope. Getting the shot meant slipping off a table, hurting my groin, breaking my camera, and living to tell the story lol.

P.S. yes she ACTUALLY fell. BTS below
