Sister Love

It's unique, your sisters are always there, they know you, they feel you. I miss mine every day, so much it hurts.

This two have been one of my favorite duo, they are both very stylish. This pictures for December's edition of W Magazine are stunning.

This photo is a perfect statement of what I consider a beautiful project. The whole set seems like and amazing journey, from picking the furniture, building the room, but mostly the model and her position. For what I can see it seems they captured her right after splashing into the sort of say "pool".

For me rigtht now, what I take from this image is a goal, I'd love to do something like this for a living, work hard in creating an atmosphere. Then evoke a reaction, for me is a portrait of a comfortable self, you get deep and enjoy it, but it's just for a moment, there's a force of nature that makes you go up, out of this beautiful and perfect place, and breathe.

That's life, lovely.

Portraits on the state of love

Brigitte Lacombe

It's always important to keep a photo journal of projects. Whenever I shoot places or products, or just a little glass for my portfolio I take a lot of time preparing the elements, accesories, light, and sometimes is in this scenario where you find perfect pictures.

I wish I could have my own Brigitte Lacombe, I saw her shots from Marie Antoinette's film set and I just felt that I was in Versailles that summer.

Can't wait to get her book, her work is just breathtaking. Extraordinary.

Emerging

My last post was about nature at rage, claiming its right to flow through what now became concrete structures on the way of what once was the path for water to flow.

My beloved Monterrey has been punished by a disaster, fortunately human losses were minimal, but the city has collapsed and has a lot of material damage.

Even if we are far there are ways to help, through our family and friends. Even through art, because this is happening to fast, our planet is starting to complain about all the exceeds of humans. Today is in one place far, tomorrow it could be near.

Diego Huerta made a series of photos about this particular disaster, there are breathtaking, a testimony of what happened through damage and people. Because one of our proudest treasures is our people, so many of them poor, but happy.

Thank you Diego for this gesture. And thank you to all who are there helping, thank you to those gorgeous kids that made of some pictures a statement: Let's rise, we can do it.

World of Ely

There are angels and fairys, characters that speak through dreams and stories to be told. Ely has a great imagination and talent, she shares with us the beautiful images she sees in her mind, through her camera.

Above, the beautiful picture she used as invitation to her recent exhibition, LOVE, the model, my gorgeus dear friend Iv.

Retro Mood

A while ago my friend Martín linked me to Chris Spooner's blog, every now and then I read it, it's amazing and full of tips and ideas.

I've been looking for some tips to create retro effects on pictures, here I found a couple of posts with some good actions.

I used one on some pictures of my last trip to London, and I think they worked pretty well. For some of us who like to decorate with our own art, this is a good tool.

Soft Color Memories

Flashdance is a collaboration between Our Labor of Love, Max Wanger and Michael Antonia. Extraordinary photography, lovely colors and frames.
I believe that when celebrating special ocassions these are the kind of people you need to help you create unique memories.
