FINAL

When it comes to the last project we are working on I am bringing some of my past experiences to the table and will try to get closure by resolving the issues I've had with coming to the United States. Going back and taking pictures of the places that made the most impact in me during my first few months in this country has been a bit hard. It is never easy to go back to painful memories but I am hoping I can grow from this and incorporating my art can only bring me closer to finding some sort of answer.


The only bad part is that I am a bit broke and the supplies for my book are not exactly where I want them to be at this point. Hopefully I can come up with something creative while not spending too much money.


Wish me luck!

A LITTLE SHARING

So today I started to think that I had not shared one of my favorite photographers with you guys. If you are not familiar with him, not to worry here is a little sample of his work. He mainly focus on fashion photography and editorial spreads. His name is Patrick Demarchelier. He has a way of working with lighting very familiar to Richard Avedon. Demarchelier's work is inspiring and provocative. Please visit his website and look at some of his work. It's worth your time!

FAIRY TALES

This was the end result of my project of The Little Mermaid. In the end is just a story about a girl who fell in love with a guy who did not love her in return.

Enjoy!

THE LITTLE MERMAID

So I have to say I am just a little torn reading the original version of The Little Mermaid. It ruined some of my favorite childhood memories. Some of you may know this but there are certain movies I have to watch in Spanish because that is how I watched them originally. One of those movies is La Sirenita (The Little Mermaid). So to pay tribute to those cherished memories here are some clips of one of my favorite songs of the movie Parte De El, Parte De Tu Mundo (Disney version). And yes they are in Spanish. Enjoy!

FREELENSING

My friend send me this link the other day about a new technique to try out with my camera. Please visit the link. I'm waiting to try it out myself, but if you do try it let me know how it goes. Freelensing Technique

FAIRY TALES

For our next project we are going to be working on our own interpretation of a classic fairy tale book or short story. I drew out The Little Mermaid. Figures right? Considering The Little Mermaid happens to be my favorite Disney movie. But here is the twist...No DISNEY references! I have to draw inspiration and try to interpret the original tale of The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Andersen. It is completely different and is proven to be challenging to come up with my own concept since the tale takes place under water for most of the beginning portion of the story. Many symbols to play with.

Wish me luck guys!
