Fancy People and Friends
The other night, I was itching to go out and snap a few photos, despite the weather being pretty unpredictable here in San Antonio – it was 60 in the morning, 80 in the day, and drizzling at night! Luckily, I still ended up getting to meet with a few awesome people, namely Tim Wylie (bottom right), Banzai Steve (bottom left) and Jennifer Guenther (top right).
I am looking forward to working on another film project in the coming weeks, and Tim is going to be a key player in it. I’m stoked that I got a chance to work with him on something a bit less demanding than what’s in store for us before then, so we could gauge how well we work together. Needless to say, I’m excited for what’s coming down the line!
On a side note, I love creating portraits of people more than any other subject material. I’ve done work with vendors products, where I have shot food, cars, tech products… I’ve even shot events and architecture for real estate. But above all those things, I absolutely prefer taking portraits of people. I love to add my own ‘salt to taste’ on what is already an infinitely interesting subject – another human being.
When someone is willing to step in front of my camera for a few moments, I can feel the moment they go from ‘oh gosh, I’m going to look terrible in this picture’ to the instant they relax and get into it, dropping their guard and become willing to show a bit of what and who they really are.
That is what I love most about creating portraits.
