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!

Monday, May 16 Let's just say something.

Annd I'm back.

Short story: I'm the type of person that tends to have a bunch of ideas at the same time and always try to make it all at the same time as well. No need to say that that doesn't turn out alright, some of my projects tend to be forgotten or never finished. But that needs to change and it starts today.
I make a lot of lists of things I want to create, or things I want to buy, but somehow I loose it in the confusion that is my bedroom, so I decided I that I'll start making the things and make it until the end, no matter what is the result.

Things I'm currently working on:
↠ I love my photos as much as hate them sometimes and I wanted it possible for other people enjoy them as well, so I'm creating some 'products' to launch a Etsy Shop. This is going to be the main project for the next weeks.
↠ Don't know if you have heard of Patreon before, it's social network for creative people and a crowdfunding site at the same time. Unfortunately  things can't just be created out of thin air, so I've been thinking and creating some content to put up to my patron and if you would like to help me improve my content, have special treats or even content only available to you, you can go to my page and become a patron.
↠ During the month of April I recorded a lot of clips with my mobile and I'm cutting them up together and, hopefully put up on Youtube, I'll let you know when it's all done.

Until these three are done, or at least almost finished I cannot try do anything else (besides university).

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!
