Imperial II

My good friend Nora Torok (@heynorikat) came to Washington D.C. this weekend to attend Magfest and to shoot with me. I had my hairstylist Jasmine (@jusjazzzz_) do her hair. Nora took care of her makeup. Nora is actually a cosplay model and doesn't do much modeling outside of that area. I challenge her with the concepts I give her and make her step out of the costume wearing style she is use to.

Here are a few photos from our shoot -->

Also, as I have said in my last blog post I am now doing some of my edits online on Twitch.tv and Hitbox.tv if you have a account and want to know when I am on editing or playing games and just want to hang out with me just follow me or subscribe to my channel. Lastly here is a speed redit video from the shoot with Nora.

As always thanks for reading and comments are welcomed.

Update 2/9

Many things are going on right now that are pretty big. I am a three time author now. I was offered my own tv show and now I am a twitch.tv & hitbox.tv streamer. I am still taking my time creeping into 2016 after 2015 rough ending.

I have decided to take better care of myself to start and I am loving it. I am hitting the gym on a good schedule that is flexible for me and forcing myself to get outside more. (I have ever been the outdoor type.)

As for my photography, I feel like I am slowly waiting for the warmer months to really start taking advantage of what I want to do this year. The cold weather slows things down a lot of things for me. I am a on location photographer or lifestyle photographer. I avoid studios as if its a disease. I always prefer the natural and chaotic surroundings of a home or a abandoned house instead.

Streaming, has been something new and challenging for me. I have always been a video gamer by heart, but I have started doing streams that actually showcase my workflow when I am editing photos from a photoshoot.

The challenge comes from the insecurities that I have with letting people see how I edit images. My workflow I think might be chaotic to some, but I totally understand it.

So, I am doing these streams to hopefully inspire, provide insight and answer questions about my work. I answer questions on streams when asked and in the future I am considering doing contest and other fun things for my followers.

This weekend I have been summoned to Katsucon.

I have several models request my presence at Katsucon & Magfest for this weekend and next weekend so I will be making the venture to the Washington Inner Harbor. I'm not a cosplay photographer, but I might just grab some random shots of people with their permission. My shoots with these models will vary, but will be more conceptual and fashion styles.

As for shoots, well here have a look at some recent work I have done....

If you made it this far, thank you. Comments are welcomed!

Workflow

Now this video is kinda long, but it's also important to me because I normally do not show anyone my post edits when I use Adobe Photoshop. I recently joined Twitch.tv & Hitbox.tv to stream with people. I get asked how I edit photos and how I can get them done so fast. Well, here is a short look. The two photos I used, I had edited last week actually, so I did re-edits on these with a different style.

Above is one of the images I edited from the video. The original image is on the left (Model Intraventus) that I edited and the image on the right is the one I did in the video.

I am curious know which image you think is better? Would you like to see more of my edits on Hitbox or Twitch?
