Sixty-Seventh Collection

Cherry blossom in New Zealand is a big deal. Usually, we have festivals going on with lots of people taking pics with cherries. It is the prime time of spring. This styled shoot was at a private location with lots of cherry trees.

Violeta is a beautiful, young, very talented and warm woman who wrote to me on Instagram. Since I've been following her for a while, I was very pleased with her email.
It was clear to me that I wanted to do something special with her, so I booked the Photoworkers.ch studio in Winterthur. There we implement a lot of beautiful pictures within a short period of time.
It was a great pleasure to work with Violeta and I hope to see her again soon.

Quick photo session for my 6 year old daughter Anita in all pink on my new hand painted pink backdrop.
I am so happy that my girl always ready posing for me.

Noche estrellada,

Monumento a los Héroes de la Restauración - Santiago de los Caballeros, República Dominicana!

La fotografía a poca luz siempre ha sido un reto para mi, en esta ocasión utilizamos un speedlight a la derecha de nuestra modelo junto a la luz artificial ambiental del lugar.

Quiero dar gracias a mi compañera y asistentes quienes ayudaron con el movimiento espectacular del vestido para así poder lograr captar esta increíble toma nocturna!

It is always pleasant to get the result when shooting beauty portraits, clean, bright.
It is advisable to use a soft light, a white reflector as a softening of the shadows.

«Paola the Catrina Bride»

La Catrina —Mexico's lady of death— and the essence of her story goes deep into Mexican traditions and roots, being restyled in the last century. Here my personal interpretation on a Catrina bride.

Urban princess.
Even if we all know time has changed, there is still a common dream for girls to wear the most beautiful dress even if it’s just for one day! ????

Sven is my favorite male model. He needed new pictures for his set card and it was an honor for me to create them with him. i like the look on his face...

Once upon a time there was a quiet, hidden place in a clearing of the legendary Birchurwald, where the autumn sun bathes everything in a wonderfully soft, golden light. This is the perfect location for a boudoir shoot in the great outdoors.

Kenya amazed with all its colors, mystery, dynamic , its simple and friendly people enjoying their ordinary life and being thankful for every sunrise and sunset they can experience.

The important thing to remember is that people want photos that will empower them, portraits that they and their entire community will love.
In order to do that, the photos must show both beauty and personality. They must tell a story and evoke emotion. And it's OK that most people aren’t professional models and are not comfortable in front of the camera. With this understanding and a bit of guidance on the part of the photographer, a photoshoot can feel comfortable and natural, empowering the subject to show their true self. That's what makes the portrait look natural and real. It's magic.

“The caterpillar is a prisoner to the streets that conceived it
Its only job is to eat or consume everything around it
In order to protect itself from this mad city
While consuming its environment
The caterpillar begins to notice ways to survive
One thing it noticed is how much the world shuns him
But praises the butterfly
The butterfly represents the talent, the thoughtfulness
And the beauty within the caterpillar
But having a harsh outlook on life
The caterpillar sees the butterfly as weak
And figures out a way to pimp it to his own benefits
Already surrounded by this mad city
The caterpillar goes to work on the cocoon
Which institutionalizes him
He can no longer see past his own thoughts
He’s trapped
When trapped inside these walls certain ideas take root, such as
Going home, and bringing back new concepts to this mad city
The result?
Wings begin to emerge, breaking the cycle of feeling stagnant
Finally free, the butterfly sheds light on situations
That the caterpillar never considered, ending the internal struggle
Although the butterfly and caterpillar are completely different
They are one and the same" Kendrick Lamar

At the end of August my Model Vanessa and I went on a outdoor walk to make some swimsuit pictures. This picture is my favourite showing her posing in this stunning swimsuit on a stone. The retouch of the picture give the special look.
I used natural light only.

Just by accident I found this broken barn with its own little charme and with good light situation. Nicole and I used the opportunity to create nice pictures with a sensual touch

Wow, this was one of the last shots we did during the photoshoot with Rowena. I added some colorgels, wind and smoke and this is the result

She is Wendy best known as Frozenfit , she is a great friend of mine, she its a hard worker fit woman, also Odontologist, and a beautiful women, she ask me to make some pictures of her and hers gym partners, by this days she was not in a photo mood, I ask her to let it flow, this its just One of the many pictures we made that day, in fact the other winning picture its from the same day.
Love U Froz.

This picture is one of several photos of my model. Thanks very much. I like it very much.
Another job that only uses natural light ...

This is my recent favourite work of mine , we shot this in a very small space still got the best out of it with simple setup and got a effective output, makeup and the setup colours got blended so beautifully.

A very cool and tidy studio session, showing a lot of attitude and personality. Using two trim flashes for the edges and a beauty dish in the shape of a butterfy light as the main light.
