"Behind the Scenes: Having a Blast at the Brand Shoot! 📸✨

Brand shoots are not just about showcasing your product; they're about capturing moments of pure confidence and joy. 😄💃

There's something incredibly liberating about stepping in front of the camera. It's not just about striking a pose; it's about embracing your true self, letting your personality shine, and exuding confidence. Here's what I've learned about having fun at a brand shoot and what brings that boost of confidence:

1. Embrace Your Unique Style: One of the most exhilarating aspects of a brand shoot is the chance to express your individual style. It's an opportunity to wear clothes that make you feel amazing and channel your inner fashionista. The more you embrace your unique style, the more confident and comfortable you'll feel.

2. Positivity Is Key: Confidence blooms in a positive environment. Surround yourself with a supportive and encouraging team that appreciates your efforts and quirks. Positivity is contagious, and it helps you relax and enjoy the moment.

3. Don't Fear Mistakes: Mistakes happen, and that's okay! They can often lead to some of the most memorable and authentic shots. Embrace the imperfections, as they tell a story of your journey during the shoot.

Brand shoots are a celebration of who you are, and they offer a unique chance to let your confidence shine through. So, next time you're in front of the camera, remember to embrace your style, positivity, and authenticity. It's not just about capturing the perfect shot; it's about capturing the perfect you! 📸💫

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

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

I got to shoot for the Señor de los milagros in Tampa Fl it was such an honor to capture this amazing event.
The annual procession of El Señor de los Milagros is one of the largest religious processions in the world. It is not only a religious symbol but also a cultural one. It has played a significant role in Peru's history
QUE VIVA PERU!!🇵🇪 🇵🇪 🇵🇪 🇵🇪

17/10/2023

This whole week we are celebrating Señor de los milagros here at SLlama Productions. We are so honored to capture some powerful shots for this amazing event.

To learn more about it scroll down ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️

Señor de los milagros, the Lord of Miracles, represents more than an icon; it is a beacon of faith and hope for millions. Its origins date back to a time when a mural of Christ miraculously survived a devastating earthquake. This miraculous event embodies the enduring connection between spirituality and the people of Peru, symbolizing their faith in the face of adversity.

🔮✨ The images I share are not just photos; they are windows into a tradition that continues to inspire, unite, and rekindle hope.

16/10/2023

The whole month of October Peru celebrates Señor de los milagros
Behind the lens, there's more than just a beautiful image. There's a story, a tradition, and a deep meaning. This week let's explore the significance of Señor de los Milagros, a symbol deeply rooted in Peruvian culture and faith.

In the heart of this vibrant celebration are the "Cargadoras," the women who carry the heavy and ornate Andas (floats) bearing the image of Senor de los Milagros. This tradition is a powerful testament to the strength, resilience, and dedication of women. For generations, they've played a central role, upholding the religious and cultural significance of this event.

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.
