I finally got around to adding two images from a test I did in May. I did my own retouching here, so you can see I kept the pores intact. Skin is good. Even though it does not look like I did much retouching, I spent hours in front of the computer fixing chips and [...]
Also tagged close up, creative, kiss, lips, lipstick, macro, Make Up For Ever, skin, talkDuring my last week in New York City, I got to squeeze in a shoot with a couple of my favorite people: Erin, the monstrously-talented-force-to-be-reckoned-with-artist at Make Up For Ever and Stephen Eastwood, a freaking Canon Explorer of Light as my companion to b.s. with during breaks. Who’s better than me?!
Erin sent me the files [...]
I stayed in Houston, TX for approximately 10 days before I decided to dip out of the country. I’m in Ljubljana now, but since I have jet lag, I will share some photos from the one photo shoot I had n Houston before I packed my bags again. Of course, the one shoot I booked [...]

I learned how to read and write Mandarin when I studied in college, and I think the characters I wrote on my Wacom tablet say, “Ha Ha Ha.” Who knows with me, though; I used to (in)advertently write curse words on my Chinese homework, much to the [...]
My trip to San Diego got canceled this weekend, so I decided to shoot a self-portrait today. I forgot how much time and patience goes into creating a photo, but I certainly wanted to make use of my free time. I started my project at 3:00 p.m. and did not finish until 8:00 p.m.—a lengthy [...]
Also tagged self-portrait, tutorialSeeing that I’m part-Irish, it’s only fitting I post my favorite green photo today. I shot this a few months ago for Make Up For Ever. Erin McCarthy rocked my world when she produced this masterful creation on Catherine Frances Scott, a New York City stunner.
I used a Canon 100 mm lens on my 5D and [...]
