New project

I am embarking on a new big project.

Boudoir is for women and I have a target market in mind. Why women in lingerie? Well, I did a photo project for a friend and I saw how happy she was with her pics she used for personal gift for someone special.






I did the make up, hair and post process of this, but a friend photographer took this for my friend here. My friend's boudoir will be my next project. Then I am offering the project to Vegas women.


What is exciting is that I am doing this with a new buddy and I am also excited about the new prospect to create something of value and beauty. The product will be intimate, elegant and very sexy.

We are starting test shots hopefully next month. I give myself until next year to master the studio lighting and working angles at the same time develop my target market. My goal is to launch it January 2011.

My schedules are very tight right now, with lots of things happening other than photography..but... my energy is inexhaustible.

I am back again. I have not blogged for a while. Already been back from India and have not posted my photos adventures. I got plenty.

Anyways, went to the airport yesterday..McCarran public parking is accessible and I found out I can take pictures of planes in action from there, so that would be a good place to explore one day. It was super hot yesterday, so a good cooler box with bottles of green tea is definitely a refreshing idea. I like to plan my shoots with my comforts to I can take my time and enjoy every moment. I do not want to be rushed taking my pics. But i definitely prefer to be outdoors in Summer.

I want to explore more photo ideas, just got to put in time to do it! Damn it! so much things to do so little time! I want to upload that one shot I took of AeroMex with the MBay in the back.

Setting the goal

Amazonia Sunset


I attended a talk by Rick Sammon sponsored by Nevada Camera Club last Friday.

He talked about setting goals when taking the shot. This lesson could have been handy many times during my travels. When I went to the Amazon, I had that ideal picture of the great river, although much of my expectations of the river were viewed from Nature shows I have seen in PBS and never really had a goal how this picture can be captured.

But Rick made a very good point. Setting goals is a normal undertaking in everything that I have accomplished, and it cannot be different as taking a picture.

Rick said that when he went to Mongolia to watch the annual warrior show, he had this picture of a mongol warrior on a horse galloping on air with all four hoofs afloat. That was his ideal picture, that is what he came for in Mongolia. He planned the shot before he went there. Where he will position himself, the camera settings, and the output.

Well, actual events can take a life on its own. Then, there was the overcast weather, or that a luggage was lost. What to do? You still stick to the plan.

The main lesson I got from this talk, is that, when I plan a shot, I can replicate it. If I have a similar subject, environment, mood I want to capture, I can start from the original plan and improve from there. It is replicable and flexible and it will serve as the basis of a signature shot.

I hope to create my own signature shot and my specialty, and a planned shot with copious note-taking can be a tool in my toolbox.

Ahhhh.... we learn something new everyday.

Life is sweet, it is an adventure, a journey, a discovery..
