95.7 The Beat

Jay Nunez from 95.7 the Beat ask me to do a few pics of him for some of his promotional work. It was very easy to work with him. The shoot only took about an hour. This shot was taken at the Santa Maria riverbed underneath the 101. Since working with Jay, I've had plenty of people asking me to do a photo shoot with them. Thanks Jay! It pays to be staff of a radio station, everyone knows you especially in a little town like Santa Maria. Eventually Jay plans to develop a hip-hop magazine within the Central Coast, while I provide some of the photos. What great networking and exposure!!

Baby Lovin'

This was my first "Prego" photoshoot. I met Mariana on Myspace and she asked if I can take shots of her pregnant. I felt iffy about it at first since I never done anything like this before. I ended up using just natural light and then editing them in my digital darkrom. I took at least 300 shots and got plenty of good ones.

Tool Girl

Here is another one that was taken awhile back also. I went with a different approach with this one. A little bit grungier I would say. Maria was so shy at first, so i had to pose for her first and show her how to really do it.

Simply Virginia

This picture was taken awhile back. I wanted to use this photo as an example of experimenting new ways of editing. Virginia was very photogenic and simple which gave me an idea of having a more dreamy feel to it. I think it came out ok.

Intro to Multimedia "Class Project 1"

Intro to Multimedia has been a fun class so far. Our first assignment was to create a Travel Kiosk for potential travelers. The assignment was to choose any place we want and inform people about the significant place. Since I'm Filipino and been wanting to go to this place, I chose Boracay. I always pictured Boracay to be a fun and a relaxing place. I decided to target the young crowd and that's why I went with the colorful layout and younger look. So far I have accomplished the picture buttons from the home page to link you to four different categories using Adobe Flash: What To Do, The Food, The Nightlife, and Accommodations. I am proud of what I have done so far! Yee-Pee!
