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.
So …
NO Cables
NO Laptop
NO Pro Lighting (580ex II’s + Pocket Wizards Only)
= Light Weight, Mobile & Tons of Fun!
A full review on my experience with this camera will be soon coming by Press Agent Trevor Current of CurrentPhotographer.com whom flew down to Sunny Miami Florida just to cover this location fashion shoot. Stay Tuned!

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.

The Creating of an Image & Professional Branding of a Company
I’m publishing this short entry as a follow up to my previous article entitled ” Professional Branding Portraiture Photography – Ditch the 80’s Real Estate Head Shot “. Let me beginning by giving you some background: A few weeks back the studio receives contact from a brand new company which was in need of a “Look”, a “Brand”, or “Image” to allow their clients to recognize them immediately when seeing their promotional materials.
This strong association between the Company and the Brand is one of the most critical factors when starting a new venture and is so often over looked..

The Role of a Professional Modeling Portfolio Photographer
The Role of a Professional Modeling Portfolio Photographer
Recently I had the absolute pleasure to work with a great model with tons of spark and a good head on her shoulders. Above you can see a few of the snaps made during this studio session.
Modeling Portfolio Photography, like Head Shots or Comp Cards must depict the client in their most SALABLE light. The difference between the Portofolio, Head shots and Comp Cards is simply the number of photographs a model has to use to “get the job”, so to speak.
An easy way to look at this is simply —- The Head Shot is your Business Card; The Comp Card is your Invitation to get in the door; while your Portfolio is the eclectic representation of YOU as a model that will open the greatest number of doors and ultimately “seal the deal” with the agency or art director.
A professional photographer should not only focused on making stunning images but creating an inherent value to the product, service or client photographed.

Boudoir Photography….Classy NOT Trashy – Top South Florida Boudoir Photographer

Boudoir photography…..classy not trashy
In the age of flash and technology it’s become increasingly harder to buy a gift for that special someone that will just blow him away. Hmmm……clothes? Boring. Watches? Been done. Fancy dinner? Very nice but only if your man enjoys fine dining. Not all do so that can be risky. Vacations? Fabulous but can be pricey and once they are over all you are left with are the memories and the pictures. Pictures? Now we are onto something. Why not have some boudoir photos taken of yourself and give them to your man? Seriously! Pictures last forever and trust me, no man is going to turn down beautiful pictures of his woman. From the sensual feminine photographic period of Betty Page to the cover styles of Maxim this fact has been proven time and time again. Of course, now the question is….where do I go for something like this. Glamour shots certainly isn’t advertising this service and is it weird to go have sexy shots taken of yourself? No way it’s not weird! As for where you go, I have the answer to that. The best place in South Florida to go for classy Boudoir photos is Allure Multimedia, LLC. Let photographer Joseph Cristina take you to a side of yourself that you never believed existed.
Professional Magazine Cover Shot Photographer West Palm Beach FL
My latest project for UK Based Magazine ” Get Raw ” has just went to press and will be seen in US bookstores shortly! It was an absolute pleasure to work with Tonya Zavasta, author ” Your Right To Be Beautiful “, international speaker and wellness inspiration along with an incredible art director and publisher whom were able to articulate exactly what they envisioned for their Summer Magazine Cover!
As an internationally published photographer it’s extremely important to be able to communicate effectively and quickly ascertain the type of cover shot a magazine requires for a particular issue. From working at multiple advertising agencies and collaborating directly with many national and international publishers and art directors over the years I’ve acquired the experience needed to provide the client exactly what they desire.

Professional Actor Actress Headshot Palm Beach Photographer
Cristina was very cool and easy to work with. Not very much time was needed before Cristina was off hitting pose after pose!! After 30 minutes to warm up all images forward were strong and very usable! Cristina picked her favorite two and I massaged them into 8×10 headshots and had them professional reproduced on high-end photographic paper fit to be given to any agency or casting call.
Fabiola of Fairytale Beauty, LLC, my infamous wife ( LOL ) provided all hair and makeup for this shoot. Fabiola specializes in Professional Bridal Hair & Makeup Services in South Florida but as a team, Fabiola and myself work on many projects together: As indicated in the past they include actor head-shots; celebrity headshots; male & female model headshots along with fashion; commercial; wedding photography; catalog; gala events; boudoir sessions and much much more. For over 15 years we have been honing our skills and hope it shows in our work.
It has always been my goal to positively change the lives of all I photograph. I put 110% of my heart and soul into each and every image. As I always say, the devils in the details and I truly believe this to be the case!
Gone are the days of dark room retouching / photo processing elbows deep in chemicals. Now I sit in front of multiple 30″ LCD monitors to do the same work! The methods have changed over time but the time to create a work of art has not. So many things in photography seem easier now with the advent of digital. The truth be told, it is NOT! I will leave it at that and may blog about this in the near future.
