HAIR

With the hair beast I started to do some more hair beauty stuff. I learned in this shoot that working with hair is NOT easy much less retouch hair. I have worked with retouching hair for a while but it is not an easi task. I still havent been able to master it that well. all i can do is keep working on it. I worked with these girls who were super sweet we put everything on them. When it came to wigs one if Merle and the other is Meijhan and they are both from Front Management (http://www.frontmanagement.com/

lifestyle!!!

This is a lifestyle shoot I did the other day I didn't think I can pull off lifestyle since what I normally like to do is editorial. I managed to make it a little editorial but still staying with the essence of the beach and having fun in the beach without making it sexy. I worked with some great people for the first time like Jennifer Gilbert (stylist) who brought some crazy colorful items from Nordstrom and other stores perfect for the beach this summer. This is the beautiful Hilda who had to leave early but still gave me amazing shots. I had worked with her before but this was a different side of Hilda I hadn't seen. She gave me sweet with a twist and that is a plus in my book. Keep it up! If you want to see more of Hilda (contact her MM#1104611) This is Riley she is super cute! Just got out of high school and is with MC2. Look for more of here in www.mc2mm.com ask for Kevin

cutting it

well I decided to add a photo of me on here since i am changing my look tomorrow at 7pm. The barber is coming to my house to cut my hair and it will soon be gone. This is why I decided to do this drastic image. He is my idol so I figured why not.

Miami Living Cover

Here is the Miami Living cover if you guys havent seen it. It's out so go get it!!!

Fitness peeps

I started to do some fitness work with some of my model friends and i have been able to come up with these. These were obvisouly taken in the studio with the several lights to highlight the body and the muscles. I like shooting men with a higher light source in order to bring more defintion to the muscles. In this case I didnt do it like that but more like a simple side source or very centered.

This is Fabio really cool guy friend of a photographer friend of mine and we pumped him up a little too after in the post production. I know he is going to kill me but in this world we pump up everybody.

This is Zack Vasquez another model who I met for this shoot and we have done other things after.

beauty

i have been testing for new beauty and wanting to update my website I started working on these new ones. I got to work with Mary and she has done an incredible job with these girls. I have changed a little of my lighting and retouching and will be going back to what I used to do


This is Leticia and she is from Next models. She was super nice to work with. We worked super hard to get her hair to look like this and we had to end up bringing in several photos like the ones above to give her more hair. Then we did something a little different with a goth look and it worked out awesome!!

I am behind i know

Miami Living Spring Issue 2009 - Fashion Issue

well like i promised i have been behind on my posts but I am putting something that starting the new year happened. I was notified by Matthew from Miami Living magazine that i got the cover for their spring summer issue. It was pretty cool so i figured i would post on here how the shoot went. I had a great team backing me up not the usual which was strange for me but i still felt confortable working with these guys it was awesome!

This was the shot where we see Rebekah as the power driven diva with her toy men...hahah

This was a fun shoot since I also invited my friend Ana Acuna from church to come along. This was the first time she experienced a fashion shoot and i think she had a good time...i think. The funny thing that happened was that later we got stuck in the elevator and didnt have a key to get out it was one of those scary momements. My cell didnt work either and we couldnt get out it was freaky and funny at the same time. We just had a great time even though it was probably the longest editorial shoot I have ever done.

wow

it's been a while since i dont post anything...there has been a lot going on but i will put some new things up soon i promise!!!

NYFW Day 1

The beauty and grandeur of the life the other half lives. I am fascinated by the way people react when others, who are different or just higher than them in the social ladder, are around them. I dont know why everyone just goes crazy for them its almost an untouchable sensation or feeling that we experience when we are around the rich and famous. We just need to remember that they crap just like us and all those butterflies in the stomach are instantly gone. They are people.

OH CANADA

a great trip!

sin city

today's verse is talking about honoring him and i can say that i have not i think this has changed and its just difficult to understand that it will change by me going to Sin city. how ironic is that? but i know that everything is going to go good and blessing will start pouring if this is the purpose of the Lord. lets see what happens and i am looking forward to attending Magic!

On the road again,

One of the best ways to travel is by car. Well at least to my taste, there is nothing special than the pain in your neck you get when sleeping in the back seat while driving at night to an unspecified destination. The only difference that this time we have a specific destination, Tennessee. As a family we have done trips like these for a while now and even though there are times you want to open the passenger door and jump out, it is still a great time. Well for starters my mom is hooked on her new CD player with music only she can try to sing. Every now and then she says some lyrics out of beat and nods her head to some kind of rhythm only she knows but looks funny for the rest of us. My dad on the other hand is always on business, I pulled my laptop to write and he did it to make calls to his drivers. After spending the whole night screaming at my mom for not knowing the roads, he pulls out his laptop to help his drivers get around everywhere else in the US, explain that to me. Sometimes it’s harder working with family I guess. It’s funny though, on my left is my sister and boy is she weird too. She is “sleeping” but manages to have beating rock music coming out of her iPod into her ears. If you turn it off for her to sleep she wakes up demanding that we turn it back on, again explain that to me. Well I slept and when I opened my eyes I see “Entering South Carolina,” which is always a good sign and the Hobo Joe’s advertising, along with the South of the Border ads, which I would have done differently. It is still a great experience because in the end this is how a family comes together and stays together. Today we are celebrating 27 years my parents have been married. It is times like these that you wonder, why aren’t they going alone? But it’s ok, this is why I see how family stays together, something very different from other groups. I hope when I do have a family of my own I can do these things and that my kids enjoy being part of it. My next trip is Vegas so we will see if everything is true about Vegas.

alejandra alberti shoot

Alejandra Alberti is this type of girl that can go under your skin but in a good way. She is very charismatic at the same time sweet and timid. In this shoot we were able to take out that charismatic and fun girl that she is, I can speak for the whole team when I say that we had a great time making these images and you can tell by the the final image with the whole group.
This is shot inside a bathroom with this amazing looking wallpaper. I am a fan of vintage or at least the past. There is something about being part of the past its a pretty cool feeling knowing that someone had a different life from yours in this same living space. I think we managed to accomplish that here in this picture.

water stuff

Well i started working more with water...i like it but i still get scared around the equipment and the models splashing like the end of the world or if they are in the middle of the ocean. They were just in my pool i dont know what they were screaming and splashing about. Well they were great and now i have a new fascination---->WATER!
I did some with this glass and it looks cool kinda, I had a great time!

ageless?

In the august issue of vogue, there were several stories expressing the desire of people to dress age appropriate. On the cover was actress Winona Ryder who at the age of 35 is still kicking and screaming into the yellow brick road to success. Like her there were other women chosen for this issue and they all symbolized women who were on top of their game and dressed the part. What do I say to women or men who are dressing the part go for it! Enjoy it and don't think so much about the age. I know someone very close to my family who is 89 years old and acts and lives life like she was 24. Gladys is a woman who doesn't put much emphasis on the number but instead is constantly traveling and taught me to do the same. I dont know why women are so caught up with this issue, us guys don't worry so much about it then again we live life without that stress. So don't worry about age!

stills

products are kinda difficult to work on. I thought it was going ot be easy but i guess wrong...it was fun today i worked on using water and glass two elements that in photography are very difficult to work on. i have still more to work on and learn but will not give up!
