What I learned filming events?
When I first started filming events I was constantly running around looking like my head was cut off🤣 I was so afraid of missing something and kept trying to film every single detail. I thought that's what I need to do to fully get the whole experience. But in reality I was spending so much time in post going through all the footage that I was just miserable and couldn't stay consistent with my work
Here are a few tips I learned along my journey I hope this helps
First: Know your call to action for the event. Yes you want to capture people having a good time but what really is the message behind the event. Is it raise money? Community Awareness? Once you figure out the answer you will start having a better picture of the whole event.
Second: Show up early!!! Get there before the crowd gets there! Its so important to get yourself familiar with the venue and so you can get different shots of the venue for Broll. Its so much easier getting the shots in the begining instead of coming back.
Third: SHOT LIST! SHOT LIST! SHOT LIST! I can't stress this enough. It's so important to have, even if you think you don't need it. Trust me you are going to need it! Event days are hectic and anything can happen. Your client might special request filming certain moments or you completly drew a blank (It has happen to me) . This will save you so much time especially when editing

3 Mistakes to avoid when filming in studio
When I first started filming in studios I was nervous as hell. I learned so much on the go and just lead with confidence when I didn't know how to do something. 🤣
Here are some mistakes I did. Hope you learn from me 😳
1️⃣ Poor Lighting Choices:
One common mistake is improper lighting, which can make or break your shoot. Avoid harsh shadows, overexposure, or unflattering angles by using the right equipment and positioning your lights effectively. Take the time to plan your lighting setup thoroughly before hitting that record button. Experiment with different setups to achieve the desired mood and tone for your project
2️⃣ Neglecting Sound Quality:
While studios can provide a controlled acoustic environment, failing to invest in quality microphones and audio equipment can result in poor sound quality. Avoid picking up unwanted background noise, echo, or muffling by using the right microphones and ensuring they are positioned correctly. Always monitor your audio levels and consider using external audio recording devices to capture crisp, clear sound. Not everything can be fixed in post fix it in the present!!
3️⃣ Ignoring the Set and Props:
It's easy to focus so much on the actors and equipment that the set design and props get overlooked. Neglecting these elements can hinder the overall quality of your production. Be sure to thoroughly plan and arrange the set to match the vision of your project. Avoid clutter and distractions that can divert the audience's attention. Take the time to rehearse the placement of props and the arrangement of the set for each scene, ensuring consistency throughout the shoot.
It's important to remember that its not the end of the world if you make a mistake, ask for help and keep your head up

Here are 3 Pro Tips for Capturing Stunning Outdoor Shots:
1️⃣ Golden Hour is Your Best Friend: Timing is everything in outdoor photography. The "golden hour" right after sunrise or before sunset casts a warm, soft light that's perfect for flattering portraits and breathtaking landscapes. Set your alarm and make the most of this magical time! 🌅✨ Remember never between 11am-3pm worst time to shoot outside
2️⃣ Master the Rule of Thirds: Compose your shots using the rule of thirds. Imagine your frame divided into a 3x3 grid, and place your subject or key elements along these lines or at their intersections. This simple technique adds balance and interest to your outdoor shots. 📷🌟
3️⃣ Master Your Exposure Settings ☀️
Outdoor lighting can be tricky, so get comfortable with your camera's exposure settings. Adjust your aperture for depth of field, shutter speed for motion control, and ISO for sensitivity to light. Practice makes perfect – experiment with different settings to achieve your desired effects! 📸🌟

Being a traveler photographer is not just about snapping pictures; it's a way of life, a passion, and a commitment to storytelling
Here are the things I prioritize while being a traveler photographer:
1. Authentic Experiences Over Tourist Traps: I prioritize seeking out authentic experiences over tourist traps. It's about immersing myself in local culture, connecting with people, and capturing the raw and unfiltered moments that define a place.
2. Connection with People: Traveling is not just about the places; it's about the people I meet along the way. I prioritize forming connections with locals and fellow travelers, learning from their stories, and often collaborating on projects.
3.Preservation of Memories: While I create visual stories for others, I also prioritize preserving memories for myself. Each photo is a time capsule of moments I've lived and places I've explored, allowing me to relive those experiences. Also remind yourself that its ok to leave the camera at home every once in a while because its important to have moment for yourself.
Being a traveler photographer is a multifaceted endeavor that goes beyond the camera lens. It's about embracing the world with an open heart, capturing its essence, and sharing it with others. These priorities guide me on my journey, shaping both my work and my outlook on life.

I still can't believe this is my reality. Living in Lima, Peru, as a Peruvian-American has been a dream I never thought would come true. It's a story of rediscovering my roots, building lasting connections, and nurturing my business in a place that feels like home in every way.
Moving to Lima was a leap of faith, a decision to explore my roots while pursuing my passion for photography. The people of Lima have welcomed me with open arms, and I've met incredible individuals along this journey. From talented artisans who've shared their craft secrets to fellow photographers who've become friends and collaborators, these connections have been the heart of my experience here. It's about more than business; it's about building relationships that endure.
This is my dream, and I'm grateful for every moment and connection I've meet along the way

I've encountered numerous challenges, triumphs, and invaluable lessons along the way. Each experience has contributed to my growth as a photographer and entrepreneur.

Top 3 tips for becoming a Traveler Photographer
Step 1 Underestand camera! Get the hang of things like lighting, composition, and the ins-and-outs of your gear. Sometimes you think you know everything about your camera but doing a little research you start learning so much more
Step 2 Gear: You want to bring everything on every trips but I noticed that I wasn't even using 80% of what I brought and was carrying tons of extra weight. I started really breaking down exactly what type of shots I was looking for and how can one piece of equipment can be used multi- purpose.
Step 3 Plan: Don't just think that its easy and simple to do this. Planning your trip from travel, stay, location is super important. Make sure to do your research on the area and make arrangement to your first couple days on where to stay. After you can go explore other places but at least you have a homebase when you first get there.
You're not just a traveler with a camera; you're a storyteller. Connect with fellow wanderers, and don't forget to have fun along the way. The journey is as important as the destination! 🌟✈️

There so many things I learned on my journey since starting my production company
One thing I wish I knew before is how many hats you wear once you first start. Just doing the filming and editing is a small fraction of what you actually do. Most of your time is spent on the business, marketing, finance, and branding. Its so important to build a solid foundation and set systems in place so your business can continue to grow without you being there 24/7

I love getting to work with all kinds of cameras but my all time favorite is shooting with Sony A7 series. Whats yours?

"Life isn't just about the final product; it's about the journey and the moments that happen behind the scenes. I decided to start my journey as a traveler
filmaker/photographer and stop listening to people who will never understand my craft.
Guess what happen!
I trusted my gut and everything started to fall into place. I have been working twice as hard but I have never been so happy to actually making projects that align with my own mission.
Listen to that voice in your head and don't let small minded people to dictate your life. Embrace the challenges, the hustle, and the hard work. It's in those moments that we grow, learn, and discover our true potential.
