Working on the perfect head shot


Head shots, they're hard to get right. Since my semi change in career (focusing on photography more than cinematography) I have been trying to figure out what type of photography I want to do the most. I have experimented with many different types of photography including portrait, landscape, nature, sports, and composition photography. Out of these the two that are working for me are sports and composition, though there isn't much money in composition, and the sports photography market is dominated sports illustrated. This gives me a lot of motivation to pursue more in the ways of portrait photography, my biggest challenge is working with models. I haven't quite got the eye for saying "turn your head this way, now tilt back this way" eventually I will get this down, I just need to work with more people... Hey!! on that note if you know anyone that wants portraits for free I need the practice, so while I'm learning I'll do portraits for free anywho advertisement over. Just figuring out what I'm going to do with my future and you get to hear my rants about what's going on hope you enjoyed this and eventually I will be getting on the path to posting on a more regular basis (i tried to upload a composition but the file size was too large ^_^)

Finding the right lens, and update on life

Lenses, they are fascinating if you really think about it. Over the past few weeks I have been getting information about an internship in the Philippines with Sword Productions. Also at the same time I have been learning as much as I can about photography and cinematography. Having taken in all this info, I have a much larger desire to do photography simply because it's easier to just grab my camera and go out and shoot. Once I finish my current project (organizing my family's  20,000 pictures) I will put up a page on this blog where I will be uploading pictures I have taken


 At the beginning of the year I started down a road that was, in all honesty, completely unknown. on January 1, 2012 I started running, 10 miles each day to be exact. Im pretty happy to report that 700 miles later, Im still running and have no plans on stopping =) 


This is a small update on what is going on in my life, I should be updating on a much more regular basis as I will have pictures to upload, no guarantee but that should be the incentive

Running down a new path

I am starting the new year 2012 with many new changes. To begin with, as I drove away from a new years party at 3 in the afternoon with only about 3 hours of sleep I took the first steps (literally) of my New years resolution, that resolution run 10 miles every day for an entire year. It wasn't until after I posted my Facebook status announcing this that I was informed that this year is a leap year so there are 366 days, so in total I will have run 3660 miles. A if running 10 miles a day wasn't enough I also started full time work. Getting up at 4am definately has to be the biggest challenge, but I'm glad to have the work. Another thing I am working on is the possibility of pursuing an internship with Sword Productions which would help me to gain the knowledge of how to produce a movie (which is what an would like to do) that's a small look into what's going in in my life right now, I hope to post more often, but seeing as with work and running I have much less free time

finishing a blog post

When i start to type a blog post it usually takes me a while to think of something that's creative, whitty, and will be worth your time reading. There are many questions that I ask myself before simply sitting down and writing a blog post, like, what will people think? will people enjoy this, or is it just another waste of their time, or the final one is, what exciting thing is happening in my life that I really want to share with the world? most of the times this results in a short semi-pointless post about something random that's going on in my life. As for now, I should wrap this blog post up by saying that I am coming in for a landing on my second week of work, which rewarded me with my first paycheck ^_^ work should continue to get better as the weeks roll on. Eventually I would like to start my own wedding cinematography business with a friend, this should be very profitable and help me earn lots of money doing what I enjoy best, filming and creating a video. Time to log off as I am setting up a new computer, until next time
