Okay, close your eyes and think of Ireland — lush green fields, Guinness, and pubs.

Now check this out, here are some photographs I took over my summer in Ireland. My six week adventure had me travel through Dublin to Belfast and beyond. more photographs of Behance.net

The difficult part in be a photographer is to be on your toes and still walk a fine line.

The beauty of portrait photography  is the endless amount of learning from unique people. It breaks up the familiarity and adds with uncertainty. Professionally, you have to know your toys: lighting, positions, and len equipments.

Wednesday October 3, 2012, portait photography was those days. Lu, assistant program director at the First Presbyterian Church has hired me several times a year for event photography for their musical concerts. This time, I was asked to do a quick portait shooting. Thankfully, I had her help  a few time to hold the reflector as I used a one light system on Adam Brakel, an Organist from Florida. “I’m picky about my photography,” he said.

 

I like a good challenge. By the end, the results were truly honoring his personality which was a success. I asked randrom questions about his favorite color, why be an organ player, and about living in Florida. The journalism part of me helped me move into other transitions around the church. It also made him more confortable on the shoot.

Great to be on your toes and use every possible skilled you learned. Sometimes, the most useless tool in your bag will always give you a better alternative than your initial idea.

Good News! I got published for the first time in Ireland by the Donegal News. I was super excited as you can see. I went out for a jog and checked out one of the gas stations near our apartment in Letterkenny, Ireland. I took a picture of myself right away with my grin. 

The Ramelton Country Market is one of the characters in the documentary I am making with five other students. It was apparent the day we got to the market was the same day is our filming schedule. The most exciting part about photographing and filming was the rush and opportunity to capture people.
