I'm just a college student trying to remember what this life is like through photographs.

Quinceanera Photo Shoot Details

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008





This latest set of photos were taken to use in an upcoming Quinceañera. One of my lights broke a few hours prior to the photo shoot so I had to improvise by using just a single light. The single light source caused a lot of shadows to pop up against the background of the image. I ended up running all of the pictures through Photoshop to fix the lighting.

10.12.08 Photo Shoot Details

Details:
Location: NYC’s Rent Musical theater
Equipment: 24-105L Camera Lens

I noticed that the old theater for the recently out-of-production Rent Musical has been tagged by numerous fans. People have been leaving love notes, good luck wishes, thank you notes, and regards to their influential Broadway cast scribbled onto the walls of the theater.

The location seemed like a perfect background for a few photos, so I gathered about 12 of my friends and headed out there in full force. If anything can be considered intimidating, its the sight of 12 teenagers crowding the NYC subway lines with large bags. SMH, we need to get a dedicated driver.
