Today I had the pleasure of going on location for an ongoing video shoot. The artist had been looking for a snake to appear alongside with him in this particular video and he was pointed in my direction by a mutual friend. After all, I do have three beautiful boas. (more…)
I got to spend a little time at my local pool hall recently and for that I was thankful. You see, I love shooting pool and can remain on the table for hours on end. So much so, that I don’t really take many photographs while I’m there. Still, I never know when something is going to catch my eye, so I usually rest my camera on top of the rail. It doesn’t hurt to keep her handy. This particular day there was a few moments that caught my fancy and I was lucky enough to snap them when I could. I hope you enjoy them. (more…)
A couple of weeks back I was invited to sit in while a friend of ours and his new band were laying down some tracks for the upcoming EP of theirs. Now I was shooting more from a personal level, being that I was truthfully just enjoying hanging out. However, I did get a couple of shots that I wanted to share with you all. There are a couple from the recording session, as well as some from the downtime at the pool hall. They are nothing fancy, just good times with some great people and a group that I get to shoot doing their thing in the very near future. Stay tuned for those posts for sure. (more…)
I love shooting pool. I really do. It’s the kind of activity that I am perfectly content playing for hours on end either by myself or with a group of friends. On this particular night, we headed out to our local pool hall to push the rock around with a couple of friends to celebrate my Wolf’s birthday. (more…)
In my experience as a photographer, there are times when you positively love the images you capture, and other times, not so much. This particular time out, I’m very much loving this set. I don’t know whether it was the lighting this time around or the fog machines, perhaps just how good I was feeling; I am insanely pleased with these photos. It of course helps that the majority of them are of my favorite local band. (more…)
This weekend I had the pleasure of heading out to our local Art District here in Miami for an exclusive photo shoot with one of my close friends, Nick Voss. He had wanted to get together and take a few photos in an urban type setting for the release of his three new singles and I was more than happy to oblige. (more…)
2014 and the beginning of a new year. 2013 is now come and gone and I find it fitting to bring to you my last set of photographs of the year. I had the pleasure of photographing at CMN’s first annual winter music concert. It was a great evening full of wonderful talent both in music and in art. I, for one, was thankful to be present and wish them even more success in the upcoming events. So here is my final set of the year. I look forward to many more opportunities in this upcoming years.

Hello friends and fans alike. It’s been some time since I’ve last posted an entry and I’m hoping you can forgive me. If you know me personally or read my personal blog www.queenmaryxo.com you’ll know I’ve recently suffered a death of someone very close to me. Although she was a great supporter of my work, I haven’t had it in me to get behind the lens. For the last two weeks I’ve been fighting with myself to snap out of it (no pun intended), yet it wasn’t as easy as that. (more…)
Getting together my favorite shots for this particular post was a bit difficult. I was shooting at a rather slow aperture to compensate for the low light and there was a lot of great shots I couldn’t use on account of them being too blurry. I wish I could already afford to upgrade my camera. However, for now I will just have to make do with what I got. Realistically speaking I will more than likely not be upgrading for about another year. In the meanwhile, I will have more time honing my skills and practice, practice, practice. (more…)
I haven’t been taking many photographs lately. Quite honestly is been hard to find the time. It’s as if there’s never enough hours in the day. Still, I have to be behind the lens. It’s a hunger of mine that must be fed. So I do take Artemis with me everywhere I go. This weekend she went along with me to an Urban Rebel show at Nowhere Lounge on South Beach. She loves them as I do and I’m sure my pictures are proof of that. (more…)
