BEHIND THE SCENES PHOTOSHOOT

If someone ever asked me what I would prefer doing, probably would be documenting concerts, or all the happening in between them, my rock n’ roll heart just pumps for these type of photos.

This time I was hired to do some behind the scenes shots of the recording session of the video from Boneyard, one of the local rock bands here in my country.

I’m totally happy with these photos. The video was done by Juan Carlos Luna.

The song: OFF MY MIND- It totally rocks! You can find it in Youtube https://youtu.be/CJdPnrcKvmk?si=-4aFMFaR_0rkn5s1 and all the other music platforms.

FUGGA

May you wonder why such a name for starters, well… they used to make my saturday nights so much fun back in the early 90’s at the Malibú, the only bar in this town with a stage to host such events of rock n’ roll!

The best drummer I know, and probably one of the best in Latin America, Gerry Sibrian, gave me a call one of these days, that they were about to get their new song in the air… but they wanted their portraits done by me… Man! I’ll be more than honored!!!

Here’s part of the work I did for them.

MY THING FOR GYMNASTICS

Part of my younger years were spent doing a lot of sports, but I had a thing for gymnastics which I got to practice for six or seven years.

That’s why I felt so happy when I got a call to do a photoshoot before a competition, I was thrilled to do it!

It brought me back to those days when training was hard, so hard you could see your hands peeled off and it didn’t matter, when you get to the point when you challenge your body, when you know you have your limits and still feel the need to try it until you make it right. I must say that gimnastics shaped me a lot into the person I am today.

When I was in there, I felt like if I could I would do it again, then I remembered my physical capacity ain’t the same as it used to…

But it was fun to go back in there with my camera!

BONEYARD, THE DOCUMENTARY

Soon! We will be able to watch Boneyard, a documentary on YouTube, which is about four boys that decided to make music, back in the day, we’re talking about late 80’s- early 90’s.

I joined them -camera in hand-, right before the official presentation, at this bar, we shared a couple of beers and good conversation while doing my shots.

These guys have been part of the rock scene for quite some years now, and it can be a struggle to develop any type of art in a country which can be culturally limited. What I do see, is that all these efforts to keep the music history coming forward to new generations, are going to pay off sometime ahead. And it’s a good thing for new generations to see.

PORTRAITS 2022

A bit late, I am a bit late!

But it’s not too much I think! This year is already running and I need to catch up and publish some more!

These are a few of my recent shots, not that I’m not doing any others, sooner, I will, but my other job is keeping me busy in other matters, to be honest.

In the meantime, I will try to keep these coming.

ARTISTIC PHOTOSHOOT

I had not published these portraits on my website, not that I had forgotten that I made these beautiful images of Ellen, she is part of the National Ballet Company here in El Salvador.

She revealed not just how natural she is in front of a lens, but the true artistry of her moves in front of it is so striking, that the resulting images turned out to be pure magic.

An ethereal beauty…
