Steampunk Photo Shoot Professional Fashion Photography

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.

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.

How to pick an Actor Headshot or Modeling Headshot Photographer? 2

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.

Bridal Boudoir Sensual Photography Palm Beach South Florida Boudoir Photographer Joseph Cristina

Like all other forms of portraiture, my Bridal Boudoir Photography remains as always ” Classy NOT Trashy ” but does allow for surreal themes, playfulness and artistry with styling seen within the pages of todays top fashion magazines. The striking images seen here were a collaboration between The Bride, my beautiful wife, Fabiola, Licensed Cosmetologist / Hair & Makeup Artist and myself professional photographer. From a beautiful bridal Boudoir Portrait, to an angelic fashion image and even a more thought provoking photograph including Gold Plated Guns; all allowed us to have a great time while exploring the imagination of our client.

When a bride commissions us for a Bridal Boudoir Photography Session she is able to have fun, let go of her inhibitions and allow herself to enjoy the process of creating stunning photographs which her future husband will absolutely adore!

The ” same ol’ ” bridal gift to a bride’s fiancée has been replaced with high-end magazine quality works of art! Over the years we have been told that our sensual photography sessions are truly life transforming events and many have returned years later for another session!

Side Note: It was touching to see a tear come from the fiancée when, while getting ready, he was presented with a beautiful box containing a heart felt letter along with his ” lil’ angel’s ( now super models ) photograph “!

We are located in Sunny South Florida Palm Beach County but travel Country and even worldwide sharing our gifts. Give your husband or significant other something special, something from the heart, a piece of you which will be treasured for a lifetime. Book your session with Joseph and Fabiola today.

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.
