About myself:
I’ve been interested in arts since I was a child, I stated in painting and drawing, there’s where I learned some things about compositions, specially with landscapes, because most of my paintings where landscapes, I could say photography was a big interest since I was a child but I couldn’t really do photography till I got my very first digital camera about 5 or 6 years ago, just a point and shoot camera, then I was a time without a camera and after a long time got another point and shoots camera, I got my first DSLR Camera in September 2009, a Sony Alpha 330 camera, and I’m still using my Sony camera, so I am into the professional field since December 2009 =), I love proving people I can do it even though they say I won’t get it, I always like going beyond my own traces, and beyond what people believe I cannot do, I’m determined to be one of the best photographers on the Globe, I consider the paths to success are persistence, sacrifice, hard work, believe, hope, and the most important, to have dreams, I’m still in process to learning more and more everyday, my only tools are my camera, my imagination, and my laptop, to me every step is important and when I reach a new level I am happy I get it.

A lot of people ask me about those little things that really are necessary to own.
If you look at the gear guide on this page you can already see some of the items I will mention in this thread. But I think it’s interesting to also do a small blog post about some of the items that will save your session, or add some amazing creative options…..
So here we go.

Strobist masterclass Kamera Express

/11 Comments/in , /by

For me teaching workshops on locations is one of the most challenging and rewarding things I do, it forces me to do things differently and see things in a fresh and new way. That’s also one of the things I always try to teach my students, know your gear and theory so you can shoot in any possible situation and deliver a good image. I’m therefore a big supporter of the idea that shooting on locations at least once every week or so will force the photographer to grow much faster than if he/she only shoots in the well known area of their studios. Because of the workshops I teach I’m often asked by companies and clubs to do the workshops in their (or an arranged) location and as you might have guessed it’s always something I really enjoy.

March 6th it was time for the Kamera Express workshops with as theme, “Strobist”.
You might have noticed that there is a lot of strobist stuff going on lately with me and that’s true. I’ve always been a huge fan of “big flash” but after a nice chat with Joe McNally (who pushed me into “small flash”) I decided it was also time to add the “small flash” or so called strobist way of using flash into my workshops. However I try to do it slightly different, in this blog post I take you backstage with the workshops I did for Kamera Express, you can see the backstage video at the end of the blog post (or now) and you can see my favorite shots of the day. I will also explain the techniques and vision behind the shots.
