Snowing In New York

Last week it snowed a lot in New York, in one sunday the whole city turned whiter and whiter.

I took several pictures the same sunday at night of the streets near my place, and took a photographic trip around New York next morning to see and capture how was the city.

There is still plenty of snow on the streets, but is melting a little each day.

Enjoy the images!

The other day I was looking through some videos of masters in photography, some interviews and I caught one of Ralph Gisbon.

Ralph Gisbon is a known photographer of portraits and life, his images are controversial, full of dramatist, movement and life. His portraits are addictive and sometimes you can feel embarrassed but you cannot stop looking at them, they have a lot of power.

In this video, you can see it beneath, he answers question about his photography, how he started, why he shoot in film, who admires, etc but the answer that got me was when the interviewer asked him why he shoot in black and white.

He could have answered that because he likes, because it creates tension and contrast, but his answer really get my think:

Beauty

More fashion Pictures i edited the last days, here the model is Rennie Sweeney and the makeup artist is Emmanuel García.

I’m still not getting used to the beauty pictures actually, I think they aren’t what I expected or maybe I wasn’t able to get the best out of them, i will have to work harder with models.

Probably next time I would get closer… I think that I could bring some power to the image because it looks too much perfect. ..

What do you think?

Red Paris

Stars

El otro día estaba yo leyendo unos artículos en XatakaFoto.com y me encontré con este: El artículo habla de cómo crear un bokeh creativo con tu cámara, en otras palabras crear un desenfoque con formas geométricas.

Y no entendí cómo funcionaba, en realidad sigo sin entender cómo funciona, pero decidí probarlo. Me compre una cartulina y recorte un círculo para mi objetivo de 50mm y en medio del círculo una estrella. Lo pegué al objetivo con cinta de papel e hice un par de fotos.

Como veis al desenfocar la imagen, hay estrellas, pero no muchas realmente. Supuse que era porque el invento funcionaba mejor con luces aisladas, y así es, y con más fuerza, en otras palabras: de noche.

Así que decidí salir de noche a sacar un par de fotos y como necesitaba luces pensé que Times Square era lo suyo. El experimento fue de lo más divertido, saqué muchas fotos, algunas ya se ven todas iguales; pero sigo sin saber muy bien cómo funciona porque como veréis en una de las imágenes si enfocas el sujeto este aparece enfocado y sin estrellitas.

¡En fin os dejo con Stars in Times Square, espero que os gusten!

 

Black and White

I went out one afternoon to the Financial District and decided that I will only shoot in Black and White. So I changed the camera presets and started shooting and shooting just thinking about shapes and shadows, no color.

When I got back the images in Raw where in color, of course, but I turned all of them in bw. I choose the ones I was gonna edit and put the Raw setting at zero back.

Then I edit all of them in black and white. This result, hope you enjoy it!
