Steampunk Photo Shoot
Professional Fashion / Period Photography
Hey everyone… It’s been kinda crazy over the last few months from co-hosting Digital Photography Cafe too shooting a ton of projects. From Music Album Photography and Design to Fashion Photography and everything in between, I will be sharing some of the latest images in up and coming entries.
For this week, myself and Trevor Current, co-host of Digital Photography Cafe, spoke about Creativity, it’s importance and how to find it if you’ve lost it! 
If you haven’t had a chance to listen in, please take a moment to do so. Episode 29
This week a wonderful lady contact us regarding shooting an image for a book author Scott Westerfeld contest in the genre of SteamPunk. If you don’t know what Steampunk is, simply visualize a cross between Victorian & Sci-fi or H. G. Wells / Jules Verne work. Honestly, I knew just about nothing about it until doing this shoot and now think it’s great and credit it to getting my creative juices flowing once again.

If interested, you can check out all of the great interviews on Current Photographer’s website.
Blog entry regarding my Retro 50′s Inspired Fashion Shoot while in Las Vegas will be posted very soon so keep checking back.
On a closing note, WPPI was put together very well with only a few exceptions.

Classy Boudoir Photography Behind The Scenes TV Segment
Classy Boudoir Photography Behind The Scenes TV Segment
NBC 6 / Telemundo 51 Miami
Previously we were interviewed by The TodayShow for what I call my “Classy Not Trashy” Boudoir Photography. Just recently we were approached by a producer from NBC 6 / Telemundo 51 Miami to do a full segment regarding this specific form of photography.
Boudoir Photography should force the photographer to create images that flatter their client and do so in a classy manor but over the years I saw so many “boudoir photos” that in my mind did the contrary. I made it my goal to bring the Classy back to Boudoir Photography and it’s my hope this thought can be seen within my boudoir photographs.
Like all other forms of portraiture, Boudoir Photography does allow for surreal themes, playfulness and artistry with styling seen within the pages of todays top fashion magazines.
With a strong collaboration between The Client, My Beautiful Wife, Fabiola, Licensed Cosmetologist / Hair & Makeup Artist and myself professional photographer we create images that are truly timeless.
I’ve been told by clients that our sensual photography sessions are life transforming events and many women have returned years later for followup sessions as a way to document their life’s journey of self discovery!
We are located in Sunny South Florida Palm Beach County but travel the country and even worldwide sharing our gifts.
From Fine Art, Boudoir, Modeling and Commercial Photography project, I would like to welcome all to contact me for more information. Enjoy the segment!

On Location “Run & Gun” Test Hasselblad H4D-40 Medium Format Digital Camera
Run & Gun was my theme – Unlike many, I decided to detach this $27,000 camera kit from it’s umbilical cord and shot untethered with high speed UDMA SanDisk 16gb & 32gb Memory Cards.
At $1,000/hr for location costs, it was both Awe-Inspiring & Exhilarating at the same time! I can not say enough about the team of 11 creatives whom collaborated on this project to make it happen! Thank you all!
This video is simply a fast paced “Run & Gun” depiction of the Fashion Shoot testing the Hasselblad H4D-40 Medium Format Digital Camera. I hope you enjoy it.

with Joseph Cristina Fashion Photographer from Allure Multimedia
As a fashion photographer that absolutely loves working with fashion designers, this gig was a dream. While, being given the opportunity to put the Hasselblad H4D-40 medium format 40 megapixel digital camera through it’s paces in a non-traditional “Run and Gun Style”, “Real World”, “On Location” high fashion photography photo shoot was like giving a kid the keys to a candy store; I’m still on a sensor high! This entire shoot would shot with the Hassy and a back Canon 5DmkII as a control unit!
Run & Gun was my theme – Unlike many, I decided to detach this $20,000-$30,000 camera kit from it’s umbilical cord and shot untethered with high speed UDMA SanDisk 16gb & 32gb Memory Cards.

Photography by Joseph Cristina from Palm Beach, FL
I would like to apologize for fallowing behind! So instead of jumping ahead I’m going to pickup where I left off.
PPE – PhotoPlus Expo went over unbelievably! Too recap, I was asked to shoot the video for an amazing seminar at PhotoPlus Expo entitled: “New Media Marketing for Next Generation Photographers” in Manhattan’s Javis Center. An all star line up of industry leaders speaking which includes: Jack Hollingsworth, Lindsay Adler, Rosh Sillars & Trevor Current.
When not speaking, in seminars, walking the trade floor we took time to enjoy each other’s company and talk shop!
So instead of getting long winded, which I’m very known for, I’ll spare all of you the details and instead share a few photos from the trip. This is a Photo Blog, or at least that’s what they tell me, so … without further adieu … I hope you enjoy!

How to pick an Actor Headshot or Modeling Headshot Photographer?
How to pick an Actor Headshot or Modeling Headshot Photographer?
HINT: ALL ASPIRING MODELS & ACTORS MUST KNOW
When commissioning a photographer, take the time to look at their portfolio, discuss with them exactly what you or the agency requires and for the Love of God, do your due diligence before wasting your money.
If you think (man or woman) you can do your own hair & makeup; SLAP YOURSELF once for being ignorant and twice for being so damn cheap! (Did I say that?… YES! YES I DID…) A hair & makeup artist on location during your session will not only provide you with a better photographic appearance but will also provide different hair do’s and fashion styling which ultimately will benefit you by providing a greater number of looks to proof through once your session is over.
Actor Headshot South Florida Acting Headshots Photographer
This is a update to the post entitled Actor Actor Headshots & Becoming An Actor; Hope this helps!
Well after going though many shots, LA Actor Benjamin James selected this image to represent himself and as a branding portrait. As discussed, the image MUST
Must depict the actor in his or her best light * You just gotta look good, plain and simple; nothing highbrow here!
Must be Timely * Should appeal to “today’s” Agencies / Movie & TV Producers * Always be hip & in fashion * NEVER look dated!
Must not “LOOK” heavily retouched or altered * How many of you have seen “modeling photos” that look like plastic dolls?
Must have an eclectic essence or mass appeal * You don’t want to ever be pigeonholed as an actor!
Must brand YOU as to who you are or who you aspire to be * Read my Branding Article to learn more about this concept
Once again, becoming an actor is not easy but with strong collateral materials you can reach for the stars.
In an up an coming article I will be explaining what an Actor Portfolio so encompass and why you should have one when courting an acting agencies.
