Photoshoot: Team MoneyBaggs

Hope you guys are having a nice relaxing weekend! Just finished editing a photo shoot for team MoneyBaggs. They're coming out with a mixtape really soon and needed some shots for their commercial use. That's where I came in. We met up at the Washington Monument where we set up the lights and had some fun shots. We then moved to more urban area near Dupont circle and George Washington University to give more city-like atmosphere. Anyway, here's some of the shots.

Her Morning Elegance: Stop Motion BTS (From Fstoppers)

This music video created by Oren Lavie was a huge viral sensation back in Jan of 2009. I never knew there was a behind the scenes video showing the production of this clever project until fstoppers posted this on their website. What’s great about these videos is not so much the photography but the overall creativity with just one camera angle.

Here's the actual music video:


Here's the behind the scenes... WOW:

Pictures From Recent And Summer

I just got a bit lazy and been a long day so here's some of the pictures that I shot from July to October.











Back To Blogging... Sorta

It's been a while since my last post of note on this page.
My second half of summer was a crazy with shoot after another. but ever since September, I had to get back to classes and haven't had the time to follow up on my blogging.

So this is one of the shoots I did before my summer ended. The concept of the shoot was to portray a vampire differently from the way the media is portraying them ;) We had to make a school auditorium look like a movie theatre. so what could look more like a movie theatre than having the female model with a soda drink! To add a bit of gore into the shoot, I prepared some fake blood. There were many ways to make the fake blood but what was more important for me was it should be edible, since it's going to be in my male model's mouth. Along with awesome make up by Lily Yang my models Kai Shaw & Taylor Arif were fantastic in portraying an image I had in my head.

Along with awesome help from Danyar from Danyar Studios, we starting shooting some frames! Here's some behind the scenes:





And here are some of the finished frames:
