I took an express train to NY city for a photo walk.

With 2018 behind me, I feel I’m entering a new stage in my creative journey. I now need to create work for myself and not so much for others to like or even accept it.

I watch a lot of YouTube videos. I first discovered the power of YouTube when I was in Graphic Design school and learning Desktop publishing software. Lately, I find myself losing track of time searching for the latest on photography or art history

As I’m wrapping up 2018, I feel a tremendous need to be grateful and reflect on the things that are important to me. In the context of this post, I wish to share how I foresee my next set of actions to solidify my creativity.

With this blog post, I share why I use a Canon EOS camera for film photography.

Approaching a subject from a low angle never fails to deliver a good image.

It had been a long time until I was able to step out to the street and practice with my camera, so I grabbed my compact camera, a Fuji x100F paired with a wide teleconverter lens and just went out for a drive with the idea of keeping things simple.

Cold weather and my limited time to get creative are forcing me to look for ways to stay active, so working with still lives let me create my challenges and experiment.

Having control over lighting conditions multiply my chances of getting good results. With light control, I get sharp detail on shapes and textures, and with that, the illusion of depth and even the sense of mood.

Very often, when taking photo portraits, I realize some of my best results is when the person I’m photographing seems to be oblivious about the camera.

It always saves a lot of time knowing the kind of picture you want to create.

Group portraits certainly is a challenge that takes practice, or at least good planning beforehand.

As long as we stay focused on creative thinking, facing limitations will give us interesting results. In many cases, those results may be a departure point for something new, and even more interesting.
