Saturday, February 18 Lately...

First of all I have to share with you two of the songs that this month have completely taken me. Ok, maybe three!

So I came across this song last year... But for some reason (a stupid one probably) I completely  forgot it and the other day I started humming it and couldn't let it out of my mind. If you don't know MAX: first of all you should; second he started making Youtube videos and I got to know him through another youtuber, Kurt Scheneider, and I instantly fell in love with his voice and songs.

Ed doesn't need presentation, he's probably (in my humble opinion) one of the greatest song writers along side others, but his music always sounds genuine. Shape of You has been on the radios, and as I am typing this he has probably released another music from his new album Divide (he was, and it's also his birthday today, happy birthday 🎂).

Honestly, you probablyonly know this one for one of this reasons: you either love musicals and you seen it already a bizzilion times, or you love Ryan Golsing to the point you see every movie that he makes. I bet is the last one isn't it? I haven't seen it yet (yes I know, it's a crime) but there's a reason, I was going to see it with my sister but then I couldn't make it and I promised I would see it with her, but I'm probably not going to resist much longer and end up seeing alone.

Who would have guessed that Emma Stone could sing like that?

Ok, I know I know I said three. This one is just my ultimate favorite since I saw the movie High Strung... I've a weak spot for violins and cellos and classic music. When it's played out of the sheet (as per say) it's so beautiful, and this one with the choreography, oh man beautiful.

There's more, but maybe some other time. I also have been taking a few more photos...

So, my best friend has moved to Manchester for 6 months. Yes, I'm just going to say it, I envy her right now, I wish I could just get a plane and go as well... But back to what I was talking, before she left she wanted some photos, I have always a few ideas like to make but I'm not always comfortable asking to make them, even if it's my best friend, but somehow I achieved it and I really like this one.

My sister sometimes has awesome ideas for photos, which helps me getting ideas as well. She inspired in one of her favorite films Amélie and we came up with a few photos that we liked.

My cousin is probably the only person that I don't have problems asking or sharing an idea to create in a photography, she always up to it and even helps me do better or a different one from the original. This one was taken recently, but I have a lot more with her that I just love.

Well, I've more things that I have done lately and I'm going to do, but if you want to know you have to stay tuned.

Which musics have been on your head lately or what have you been up to?

See you when I see you, x

Thursday, August 4 Projects | Sunny Side Up

So, it happened again!

Beatriz was in the country and I had some ideas, we came together, things went great and this project was made. Since is sunny outside and hot, most of the days, we wanted to do something by the pool. Between smiles and a lot of silly things I like the results a lot, maybe because my friends are helping with my little dream of photography and I'm surrounded by lovely people.

This are only some of the photos taken, I've been sharing other on facebook, twitter and instagram. I'll upload more on those social media and maybe flickr or behance.

Hope you enjoy and I'll see tomorrow!

Sunday, March 20 Projects | Photoshoot Gone Different

As you may remember, a few posts ago I told you about the photoshoot we tried to make, if you want to know you can check it here.

Today I bring you some of the results that came out of it, and I have to say, I don't think they're perfect, but since it's only the second time I tried taking portraits I think they turned out pretty great, but as I said it's only my opinion.

Hope you enjoy, I'll upload some of them in my Flickr account if you want to see them a little bit better, and don't forget to check out my friend's Beatriz work, here and here!

Thursday, February 25 Projects | Photoshoot Gone Different: Behind the Scenes

Did you ever try to make something happen and things start to go wrong, and then it goes everything different from what you planned? Well, that's what happened to us!

One of my good friends has been living in England for a few years now, and every month of February she comes to spend time with friends and to see Carnaval. She's very talented, recently she launch her website to show the work she does with make-up and hair styling. So I had the crazy idea to photograph some of my friends (in a casual way, because I'm new to this portrait thing) where she'll do the make up and hair, and I would take a load of photos (literary, I've like 4gb of photos of them!).

Although I'm new too this kind of photography, I wanted to give it a try because I like to photograph people,
and above all photograph in general. Even though things did go as we had thought, since the weather wasn't helping and we had to come up with another place to take the photos, and starting later than we expected I'm gladly it turn out just fine, and Beatriz did a wonderful job with the make up and hair.

Here you can see I little behind the scenes, while Beatriz was creating the looks. I wanted us to take a photo all together, but we couldn't because time wasn't on our side, and we had to hurry up things. Never the less, I'm really happy with the result and, hopefully, we can make a lot more in the future.

And a big thanks to Cláudia, who was the assistant and helped with ideas for the photos and helped Beatriz with the make up (believe me, she had a huge paper bag full of things). Once I'm finished with editing the photos I will put some here and on Flickr, we'll see.

Hope you enjoyed, I mostly did!
