Why "Eclipsi"?
Several reasons. A lot of things have fascinated me since I was a little kid. A few have determined my personality and who I am. Three things have caught my attention predominantly: Languages, People, and the Universe. More...
Enrique's Senior Pictures were a workout for everybody. It is so amazing to see talent in these guys. I personally am someone very much connected with sports. My father was a professional baseball player and Soccer is a religion in my family. During Highscool I was in the basketball team in my school and when I was younger I did Gymnastics for several years. So when I see a guy like Enrique that has such ability to play soccer and basketball I get really into-it!... Enrique is a cool guy and his photo shoot was a true warm up... we wanted to get who he is during the shooting and I think images speak for themselves... Enjoy...
Jorge, Jose and I had an awesome time during their Senior High School photo shoot in Downtown Tucson. We also went over to an undisclosed location to take a few more intriguing shots. It was really fun being with them because they went along with all my ideas of having them play the guitar at the sidewalk while we were in 4th Avenue. Both, Jorge and Jose play the guitar really cool and had no problem playing it for...money...I mean, just pretending..hahaha.
Afterwards, we did something a bit different. We got some cool shots perfect for a horror movie or a mystery tv show or something, we did this at an old house's basement. It was creepy and fun. I like shadows and dramatic images that depict a mood or an atmosphere. Directing the scenes for the photoshoot was fun...
Nowadays I guess young people don't want to smile that much while they look at the camara!. And furthermore, they hardly want to look at the camara!...When I was in highschool that's all we wanted to do while people took pictures of us!... I like it both ways, serious and smiley...Anyways, we had a little bit of laughter and some 'serious' shots. Guys, you were awesome and It was a pleasure shooting with and for you guys...
I had a hard time picking the pictures I wanted to share with you in this post. As I have mentioned before, beauty is something I easily find in every person, but I have to sound redundant again and tell you that Ashley was absolutely beautiful!. She has a kind-of-shy demeanor, a sublte Giocconda-like smile that is very addictive to be looking at, and a pair of gorgeous blue eyes that stand out in such a light skin. She reminds me of those Porcelain Figurines in some images, or the image of Kelly McGillis from the Top Gun movie in the 80's or the elegance of Nicole Kidman in others. I don't know, her delicate features and her sweet personality is something that came out beautifully in every image and I think you'll all enjoy this photoshoot that took place in Downtown Tucson in a vibrant display of rich solid colors that gave an accent to Ashley's beauty.
