Mobile Update (3)
Hey everyone! As I said last update I was shooting new images and that went great! I shot with an amazing artist and model Ryuu. Long story short that I will talk about more in my next formal post is that Ryuu helped me step out of my comfort zone a lot within photography. So I want to give her a huge shout out and thank you for helping me expand my limits! I look forward to working with her more in the future!
That's all for now!

My Style: Tasteful Over Exposure
Correct exposure is just as important to a photo as anything else. Exposer just like any other setting can be tweaked and modified to fit a photos need. Here is where over exposure done right can be a quick fix and save time in post processing.
While reading an article in some fashion magazine there was a small side article about the photographer. The photographer was talking about how sometimes overexposing the image can get rid of some imperfections without having to worry later about editing as much out. Here was what stumped me, how do i know how much to over expose without losing details? Truly its just trial and error and up to the photographer.
Never be scared to play with things that others might see as destructive to the "perfect" image.

Last Days in London!
The last few days in London were by far the most amazing time i have ever had. There was art everywhere and inspiration was at every corner. I spent a good amount of the trip visiting museums and walking the city.
I spent one day at the TATE modern and that was my biggest inspiration. I went through a photo exhibit of photographic work. One room had a bunch of photos of the NYC subway. I feel dumb i dont have the artist names in front of me but the work was so full of emotion and depth. It focused more on the lower end of life in NYC. Another artist made almost floor to ceiling prints of industrial sites where he removed all the windows and doors of the main building and it was so striking and freaky at the same time.
The city had so much architecture, and a second hobby of mine is sketching buildings. There was such a range from high arches in gothic churches to protruding glass windows of new modern high rises. I loved seeing the old cobblestone walkways and brightly colored window boxes.
On a personal note i must tell you about my wonderful adventure back to the States. Getting to the airport I took the "Tube" or train and i really think it was super easy and well set up. We got there early so i had time to get myself coffee and chill listening to music. Getting back to the states went smoothly and i was able to get a window seat this time. On the way to London i was stuck in the middle of the plane. A few hours after takeoff while serving the lunch meal i looked out my window and saw a plane flying under ours with what looked like black smoke behind it. I at first thought i was seeing things and then I looked again and no it was dark grey shooting out from under the wings. Now i do know a thing or two about aircrafts so i dint really get alarmed but i had to ask the stewardess about it. Ends up it was just the plane was flying on the shadow side of the sun so we were seeing the normal jetstream you normally dont see. Learned a new thing!

Big Thank You
This whole summer has been a non-stop journey around the world. I started my summer in LA where i worked with Claudia who got me in contact with Mark who gave me a great welcome and invitation to Chicago that i gladly took.
So first things first I need to write up a huge thank you to both Claudia and Mark for giving me a huge opportunity and time in there schedule to help me!
Claudia, i know how much you value your work and could have easily just said thanks for the photos but you did a little extra and put in a good word for me and that i never expected. I guess sometimes i dont give myself enough credit but you know how much I look up to you and to have you on my team, so to say , means the world! Thanks for helping me get the courage to get out to your side of the world and get in the game!
Mark, I cant say I idolize you like i do Claudia but i can say i am greatly inspired by you. While working with you you opened my eyes to many new ways to look into shooting a photo. You taught me how to connect with the subject and keep my eyes off the back of my camera. You have a great foundation behind your work and you apply it so well. As for your photography, after watching you work creating the image seeing the outcome made me notice how sometimes simple is better. I found that I dont need to go over the top to get a striking image.
