being so portrait

I decided to take pictures of people, like, again.

What I think is, everyone can look 'good'.

I'll prove you attitude.

Some people rock like living the life rocking it. Who knows what they are doing, what they will do, what they can do. It's more simple, like, "are you rocking it?"

It ;)

another portrait

Happy holidays. 

I photographed Naomi last month. 

I was not sure of this photo. Her hair.........................

I no longer grow boobs or erase moustache. 

I leave most of it all there. 

Over here, her skin is 100% raw fresh straight out from the pixel catcher. 

Sure, darkroom can change stuff. But take a look. 

It's her natural skin. No retouch.

I'm presenting my layers cuz I'm a geek.

Layering is simple because I put all my layers in multiply, screen and soft light.
I change all RGB on all my 3 curves (dodging, burning and contrast layers) so that I can tune color and brightness at the same time. With these 3 layers at 3 different blend modes, you can control all 3 axis of color; hue, tone and saturation.
After I mask, I basically cut time and effort by 9 times approximately.
My soft-light neutral layer is for detailing. ("Layer 1")

That's all it should take when everything goes well. ;)

I'm into old stuff.
Past haunts me.
I'm afraid of future(/death).

   


There'a band that's coming back from the dead /jk called the Yen Town Band.
They were featured in a Japanese film directed by Shunji Iwai, "Swallowtail", a story of yen-tauns at yen-town.

Power of photography was at its best when the time was 90's.
The film's power of photography made me think of pursuing film when I was a kid.
Swallowtail was shot on a shaky handheld video-camcorder.
Although, everything was amazing. Shit created gold.

Power of Photography.

portrait of city

I came to remember that past memories are unforgettable. 

You remember stuff, like its written on your palms. 

Sure, its wrong sometimes. 

So you take a photo. 

You look back and see what you've taken. 

Like you take it all like its all yours. 

Sure, it's your life, it's yours. 

Your picture that is. 

Life is too bright sometimes for anyone or me. 

It's like looking in to the sun at night. 

You can't figure it out all the time. 

Take a picture, look later. 

;)

time

I do black and white photography when I feel classic.
It makes it look like 1915 when its 2015.

I always capture something odd, because I celebrate uniqueness. Or rather say imperfection.
