KATYA & ENRIQUE

My colleage and friend Cristina Mendoza asked me to help her to photoshoot in a wedding, a small intimate ceremony and party.

The ceremony took place at the parrish from UCA (University of Central America).

It was simply decorated with beautiful flowers and good taste.

Katya and Enrique make a happy couple, they were surrounded by their loving family.

We wish them the best in the future to come!

REGINA & WALTER

Well, this post is kind of belated… these pictures were done in 2016, but there’s a reason for that, I am trying to update my page with most of the work I’ve done, this is my portfolio!

I haven’t been doing wedding photoshoots lately,  not because I don’t want to, they are always fun,  but because I’ve been getting other jobs in the middle and my colleages are busy in other things.

Maybe I’ll do some more further on. We’ll see.

For now, I am just enjoying to see some of my work up on my page.

AN ENGLISH PRE-WEDDING PHOTOSHOOT

I had offered my niece to shoot her pre-wedding arrangements, the main reason of our trip on the other side of the pond in fact! We had promised her to be there for that special date.

Anyway, the days before the wedding were kind of in a rush, trying to make it just in time for everything even catching the train to Royal Leamington Spa! We had to make a run for it!!

The very same day, we woke up early so that I could have time to fix my equipment, catch a bite -sorry, I tend to malfunction if I don’t eat breakfast-, and meet up at the apartment where the girls were getting ready.

I have to thank James Watson and Desiree Benko for letting me try their lenses too, I might get me an 85mm pretty soon!

Here are some of the pics I took.

A PHOTOGRAPHER IN EL SALVADOR

Volcán Chichontepec, El Salvador.

El Salvador is a country well known nowadays for it’s history of recent violence. This may be the only reason why it’s known for worldwide.

But for us, citizens moving in our daily chores, it’s also the place where we try to develop other skills.

Perhaps for me, I’ve found my nest in photography. It started as something to play with while being alone for some time,  in Barcelona a few years back, as it turns out I had something I could use to freeze moments, places, people, etc.

After developing the first few films, which by then I had found a place where I could get good quality for less than 6 euros, I was seeing something that made me happy, satisfied in ways I couldn’t do before.

Further down the path, I decided it was time to go deeper into the subject, I wanted to experiment, I wanted to try lights, to try exposures, to capture other things besides the usual stuff…

Well, it’s an exercise, the whole time is a working progress, in which I still learn.

I am thinking of where I want to go, what else there is to explore in the field, and believe me when I tell, that so far it’s the most satisfying thing for me to do.

To see others happy with my work, makes me happy too…inexplicably happy…
