It’s no secret that red light is a concert photographer’s kryptonite. Digital camera sensors are much more sensitive to red light than any other color, making it very difficult to catch detail when your subject is lit in all red especially when they’re moving around. So what happens when you are in the photo pit…
I know that we are still in a panini (panoramic, panorama, pandemic) but the world is opening back up and that means live music is a thing again – and I am SO HAPPY about it. If you’ve been following me for awhile, you’ll know that concert photography was how I cut my teeth in…
Happy New Year! It’s 2022, what a wild thing to think about. I’m back with another iPhone tutorial, this time on post-process lighting and how you can elevate a simple portrait in only a handful of steps. It’s 2022, there’s no excuses for your content to be subpar, even if you only have a smartphone…
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. It also happens to fall during the end of the busiest month of the year for me which means that it often sneaks up on me before I find the time to create a costume or look. Don’t fret if you’re in this boat, I can help you…
Ever taken a photo against a wall and wished it was black? Welp, now you can remedy that! These photos were taken in my dining room before a party the other night. I was wearing pink. While I love the color of my dining room walls, they didn’t exactly compliment my outfit. I wanted them…
I get asked on a daily basis what apps I use to edit on my iPhone. When I create content for brands or myself, I use my iPhone about 90% of the time. I only really use an actual computer when I need to make intricate retouches, need to resize in a very specific way,…
We had a change of scenery for a week this month when we traveled to Portland, OR. My boyfriend’s sister just moved there for a new job so we went to visit her and explore. It was refreshing, both physically and mentally. There’s something about the Pacific Northwest air that just revives you a little…
What would my return to blogging be without an affiliate plug? Don’t worry, it’s good. Introducing Papershoot! Papershoot is a neat little digital camera whose mission is to cut down on plastic parts and have sustainable packaging – wood or paper. The photos look like film for those of you into the vibe. This camera…
We’re about to get really personal here, y’all. Trigger warning : Body dysmorphia, weight loss and gain This post has NOTHING to do with body types that are bigger or curvier than me, but has everything to do with MY BODY and MY ISSUES WITH MYSELF. This post is not to discriminate or invalidate anyone’s…
Hey, it’s future me. It’s been a few years since my last blog post. I didn’t intend for it to be that way, but shit happens. Once I had realized I hadn’t blogged in awhile, I decided to leave Visual Individual in my twenties and move on and live my life without feeding into the…
What’s in a year? A lot of shit apparently. This past year has been both the fastest and slowest time of my life. It feels like both eons dragging on and seconds flying by. If you’ve followed me consistently, you’ll understand why. If not, then I recommend reading this category. It’s been one whole year…
Thanks for reading this blog post!I’d love your support on this. Next year, 2020, I will be launching a social media branding agency. What does that mean? Well, I will continue to create the same content I do for my clients now, photo and video work, but I will offer the added service of translating…
“Quiet, the babies are sleeping!” That’s what my mom always said when my brother and sister were babies, back in 2004, when I had my friends over. It ended up being ingrained in our heads, even fifteen years later. My best friend that I have known since high school recently had her first baby. Time…
It’s no secret that I LOVE photographing the Pride parade. It’s just something about everyone feelin’ themselves and looking beautiful while being who they want to be. This was my fifth year in a row photographing the Baltimore Pride Parade, except I did it a little different this year. You can see previous years here,…
