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…
“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 the time of year where the streets are filled with rainbows, glitter, wigs and butts. It’s Pride Month! If you’ve been following me for awhile, you should know by now that Pride is one of my very favorite events to photograph. The possibilities for visuals, creativity and color are everywhere. The portraits are endless.…
This past Friday was my 28th birthday. I usually don’t post my age because I don’t ever really think it’s relevant. A lot of things have happened to me since my 27th birthday, both good and bad, so I think it’s been a milestone year for me. I both obtained and lost a job that…
Hi everyone. Another year, another Pride. Definitely not complaining! This year was better than last – my loafers didn’t melt to the concrete this year. You all know I’ve been shooting mainly video and learning the ins and outs of that, so today that’s what I mostly did – shot video. I made a cute…
Hi blog. It’s been awhile. Four months to be exact. I’m pretty sure that’s the longest I’ve ever gone without blogging. It’s not because of lack of content but because I’ve been crazy busy. Lots of things…
This time two years ago I was writing a similar post about graduating with my Bachelor’s of Science degree in Mass Communication. It’s insane to think that only two years ago I hadn’t even started graduate school. I didn’t even know if my application packet had gotten through to admissions yet. This time two years ago I…
Whenever I’m anxious or restless I like to go into my photo archives and revisit old assignments. It’s therapeutic in a way, editing through days and moments I haven’t mentally visited in awhile. Brings me back down to reality and out of my head. Currently, I’m feeling pretty anxious for a silly reason: the dentist.…
Everyone calm down, I was just a second shooter to my super talented friend, DC Photojournalist, Sam Corum. Sam and I met during the Baltimore Protests, so it’s kind of ironic how we went from dodging bricks being thrown at our heads to dodging wine glasses and the flailing arms of happy wedding dancers. Always…
How in the hell is it already the end of October? More importantly, how is it already almost the end of my third semester of graduate school? I feel like I’ve been moving at full speed for the past few years. I only started my photo career three years ago. The TimeHop app on my…
