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…)
While some may consider me morbid when I say this, know that morbidity is not the reasoning I feel what I’m about to express. While I dislike and possibly despise going to wakes and funerals, I love cemeteries. Between the idea that souls buried there have found peace, to the stone and artwork, I find cemeteries to be a place of beauty. Though it pains me to see the heartbreak for those visiting their loved ones, the opposite side of the coin is that pain is matched by the same level of love. (more…)
Being a photographer so far has given me some wonderful experiences. I’ve met amazing people and have had the pleasure of working with some rather talented individuals. If that isn’t rewarding enough, I’m also having a great time. It does require a lot of time, though all in all it’s a small price to pay. (more…)
There hasn’t been much spare time for anything lately it seems. Unfortunately my present job has been requiring far too many hours, keeping me from having time behind the lens. It is unfortunately a necessity at the moment. I did, however, manage on getting out a for short while to Art Basel this past Wednesday, I am on of the performers in an video art installation, and I was there to who my support to the artist.

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…)
So last week I took a walk about downtown before work. It was nice to get out and breathe the fresh morning air. Although the sight of the homeless laying out on the sidewalks is heartbreaking, this early in the morning all the buildings are still lit and downtown is equally beautiful. My favorite would be walking out towards Bayfront Park however. To see the sun coming up over the water instantly puts me at ease. I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this before or not, I simply love a beautiful sunrise. Sunsets are gorgeous, yes. However, for me there is something about the day breaking and beginning anew. (more…)
I had the pleasure of going to Moonchine Bistro and Asian Lounge on Friday to watch my friends at Urban Rebel rock the place out. I was actually really excited to go to this show because I had heard it was an intimate venue. While most of the venues they perform at are considered small venues, this particular location was very small. (more…)
You could say I’ve been burning the candle at both ends this week. While work has been insane with preparing to move offices, upgrading computers and still keeping up with the flood of work that is my day to day, I’ve also been burning the midnight oil working on my photos from this last weekend at Fishoutawata at Tobacco Road here in downtown Miami. (more…)
I know it has been a couple of weeks since my last post. I’ve been quite busy with work and revamping my website. Needless to say, both tasks have taken up quite a bit of time. I did however take a break on Friday night to watch my friends, Black Jacket, do their thing at Will Call. They had asked me to come and snap a few photos. Since I haven’t been out to see them in a few months, I was more than willing to oblige. Since then a new vocalist has come on board and I was excited to hear them at a venue like Will Call. It was a great set and the boys, excuse me, men, are sounding great. As for my pictures, here are my favorites. I’m still trying to get the hang of the whole shooting manual mode. I especially want to get comfortable with going between the settings as needed while shooting. (more…)
This weekend I had the pleasure of going to the premiere of Urban Rebel’s new video, Awake. Once again, Urban Rebel did not disappoint. In fact, they raised the bar all the more. As for this queen, she was smart enough to bring her camera along to capture some of that energy. You see, though I’m not a professional photographer, I fancy myself UR’s personal photographer in a way and I am thankful for their appreciation of my photos. I love capturing their passion and the love they have for their art. I believe that is what truly shines through. I am also glad I can share it with you, readers. On that note I bring to you my favorite shots of evening. I present to you, Urban Rebel at the video premiere event for Awake.
