ABC7 Television

A few weeks ago we were joined by ABC7 Television during a fashion shoot for Cynthia Design. Our model was Lauren Foulk and HMUA Jenelle Prieto, both of which are amazingly talented, and super fun to work with.


ABC7 Television


ABC7 Television was doing a piece on Greentoe (click link and use coupon GREEN25 to get $25 off), which allows you to save money on all kinds of consumer electronics, including photography equipment. It probably isn’t a surprise to many of you, that as a professional photographer, I have to invest significantly into equipment; any discount or savings I can get are always very appreciated. Because I have bought from Greentoe before, and had a great experience (while also saving a lot of money along the way), I was asked if I was willing to talk to ABC7 TV. The result you can see below:



Honestly, I buy my equipment at many different places, but frankly, Greentoe is just such an easy one-stop shopping destination. Simply look for an item on their site, compare regular prices, then make an offer. It’s like bidding on ebay, without the change of getting outbid, only getting items from authorized resellers, and without the hassle of having to wait until an auction ends. Sometimes your offers are accepted right away, but often Greentoe will get to work and ask resellers in their network to bid on, or accept your offer. Once that happens, it’s all straight forward from there. Your card will be charged, the item is shipped, and if you are unhappy, you can return it for at least 14 days.


Sounds too good to be true? Well, I can tell you that it has been working really well for me, and as Greentoe is expanding their product offerings, more and more items can be had for less than retail. Why would you want to pay full price, if you can get your item at a discount? Oh, did I mention that the price you pay includes shipping and taxes?


Seriously, I thought I should share this.

Meet the fashion shoot girls

I recently had the opportunity to work with Marita and Lauren on a fashion shoot, featuring couture by ENGINEERED BY REMY.  We had multiple pieces to showcase, and access to Profoto equipment with Mola light modifiers, in addition to help by Janet and Kevin. We also had an amazing team of 4! Makeup Artists/Hair Stylists to work on the models. To make a long story short: we had a great time and ended up with some amazing images. In addition to the fashion images we also took some closeup portraits for the portfolios of the models. Am I teasing too much? You can see one of Marita’s images above.

Now take a look at one of the images we created for Lauren:

By now you better want to see those fashion images :) Hang in there, as my next update will show you what we ended up with.


Have a great weekend!

Beauty Photography in Los Angeles

You may not have seen much beauty photography in Los Angeles, and that may be because there really aren’t too many certified professional photographers in L.A. that are experienced at this. Unlike portrait photography and headshots, beauty images require a different light setup, different makeup, and very different processing when finishing the images.


 


Beauty Photography with Sarah


During our session at the Alex Munoz Visual Arts Studio Sarah and I tried several looks. One of the images we ended up with was her in four different outfits, but to me the most striking images are clearly our beauty shots. The people at the Photography bay seem to think the same, as one of our images got featured there as well. If you want beauty, glamour, or fashion images for your professional portfolio, make sure to head over to Alex Munoz commercial photography and get in touch with me. If you always wanted that special portrait or headshot that makes you stand out, send me a quick note to find out what I can do for you.
