Since President Maduro's capture, the Vsla stock market has risen by 73% and since December 23 when President Trump began to intensify pressure on the Maduro government the market has accumulated a spectacular increase of 148%. image
This should be a sensitive topic, but instead it's seemed more like a comedy show. Unfortunately. I say this with irony and regret. I'm referring especially to how this has been viewed from abroad, and even worse, on social media and other forms of communication. The feeling among people inside Vzla is fear, yes, fear. They updated the official gazette and added new articles, one of which states that anyone who celebrates what happened on January 3rd can be imprisoned. There are operations underway in different parts of the country where armed individuals are checking people's phones. This is seen more frequently and intensely in Caracas. image Armed pro government groups are checking vehicles on the streets of Caracas to identify and arrest those who oppose the dictatorship. Armed civilians set up checkpoints and inspect vehicles on the Caracas highway in the absence of the Armed Forces image Police in Mérida state announce the arrest of two people for “celebrating the kidnapping of President Maduro”. image Despite this situation, people must continue with their routines. For the past two days, the streets and shops were deserted or closed, but today activities continue as usual. Besides walking around with your head down because there are armed people in the streets with permission to kill just because, you live with the uncertainty and the constant thought "how long will this last?" It's all jokes, marketing, and conspiracy theories on the internet, but those who truly experience reality and its consequences are us ordinary people. It doesn't matter the USA, China, or whatever else people argue about online and abroad at the end of the day, the political leaders sit around the same table, having dinner and laughing.
image Today I'm going to share a new set of photographs I took in my studio, in this case portrait photographs for a girl's birthday. She had a very interesting idea: the theme of her birthday photographs would be the "burial" of her 20s and the celebration of turning 30. To carry out the theme, the girl dressed all in black to symbolize the mourning of her 20s, and she also had a cake that said "RIP 20's" and "Hello 30's": Then I put a cube on the set to take a couple of photographs with the girl seated: And then I came up with the idea of placing one of the long cubes lying on the floor to symbolize a kind of "tombstone," and the result was very cool: image And then her whole family joined the photography: image I took all the photographs with my Canon R8 camera, a 50mm f/2.8 lens, and two light sources. This part of the session was quite short and fast because we quickly obtained the desired results. In addition to that, the girl brought another completely different change of clothes for the second part of her photography session, but it is so different that I must share it in the next post. I hope you liked these photographs as much as I did, and thanks for watching!! #photography #photostr

image Today, I want to share a photography session I did in my studio. The girl hired my services because she wanted to take some photographs for her birthday, but she didn't want the typical photos with balloons and cake. The girl opted for a more sober and elegant style. To achieve that objective, the girl wore two very beautiful dresses, and we started by taking a standing photography: image And then another one in a close up shot: image And then we moved on to take a couple of photographs with the girl seated. I guided her with the poses the entire time to make her feel comfortable and to have a variety of poses: At this point, the girl changed her dress to take the following photographs. We started with a couple of seated photographs: And then we took a couple of standing photographs: The girl was accompanied by her boyfriend, so at this moment, we started taking couple photographs: I took all the photographs with my Canon R8 camera, a 50mm f/2.8 lens, and two light sources. At the end of the photography session, we were all super happy with the results, and I hope you like them as much as we did!! #photography #photostr
I am back with a new set of photographs, in this case street photography from the city where I live. In these photographs, I aimed for people to be the protagonists, as this is an element that holds significant visual strength in street photographs. I'll start by showing you my favorite photography of the set. This lady was sitting in the park with her dog, the scene looked very beautiful: image I approached a little closer and asked if I could take a photography of her dog as a way to break the ice. I spoke with the lady for a while, and it was a very nice interaction: image In the same park, I saw another very beautiful scene, a dad teaching his son to ride a bicycle: image In another part of the city, I saw a little dog tied to a light post. The funny thing is that it was wearing clothes hahaha: image A lady walking with her dog. For me, it is very adorable to see older adults with their pets, because they are like their children: image In Venezuelan cities, it is common to see elderly people sitting outside their houses: image A gentleman walking, wearing a casual hat: image A man buying at a small shop with the typical "symbolism" of bananas hanging outside to indicate that it is a bodega: image I took the following two photographs in the same place: In Venezuela, it is common to see people siphoning gasoline from their cars to store it since we don't know when it might be needed: image "Businesses": image A motorcycle taxi driver waiting for clients: image These Jeeps have always been my father's favorites. I wish I could give him one in the future if God allows me: image People exercising, this city is quite sporty! I took all the photographs with my Canon R8 camera and a 24-105mm f/4 lens. I hope you liked the photographs as much as I did, and thanks for viewing! #photography #photostr
Lets see if i can get 10k sats from what i consider one of my bests wedding documentation so far #photography #photostr
image Reviewing my files, I realized that I still hadn't shared the second part of this photography session, which was so beautiful and interesting. This girl used some incredibly beautiful dresses that looked spectacular on her! First, we took some standing photographs: image For some reason, her outfit reminded me of Cleopatra, the Egyptian queen, the girl looked full of power and pride: image We also took a photography with the girl sitting on the floor: image Then I put a cube on the set, and we took a photography raising the glass as a symbol of celebration for her achievement: image And if you ask, what achievement? Graduating from university: image So, at this point, we started taking a couple of photographs with the graduation cap and gown: Once we finished with the individual photographs, we started taking photographs with her family, first all together: image Then with both of her parents: And i finished with her sister: I took all the photographs with my Canon R8 camera, a 50mm f/4 lens, and two light sources. At the end of the photography session, we were all super happy with the results. I hope you like them as much as we did! #photography #photostr
image I am back with a new set of photographs I took in my studio, this time for a girl who hired my services because she just graduated from university and wanted to have a beautiful memory of this special achievement in her life! The girl arrived wearing a beautiful elegant dress, and we started by taking a couple of photographs of her in her dress: But the real theme of the photography session was the graduation photographs, so she immediately put on her gown and mortarboard to start with the photographs. We went "in parts," and before she put on the entire outfit, I suggested we take a couple of photographs this way: Then a photography with the gown open so she could also show off her beautiful dress: image And we also wanted to include the university diploma: image And at this point, we took the characteristic and typical graduation photography: image The girl wanted to take a photography from the back: image And we also took one photo with the girl seated: image And at this point, we included the girl's parents so she could have a family photography: image And then we also included her boyfriend: image I helped them with the pose to make the photography more fun and interesting: image I took all the photographs with my Canon R8 camera, a 50mm f/2.8 lens, and two light sources. At the end of the photography session, we were all super happy with the results. I hope you like them as much as I do, and thanks for passing by! #photography #photostr
A few weeks ago, a close friend had a birthday, and to celebrate, she organized something very special and beautiful: an afternoon of wine and painting with friends. I attended, and as the passionate photographer I am, I brought my camera with me to gift some photographs to my birthday friend. The first photographs I took were obviously of the day's protagonist. I took photographs of her from various angles to look for the best shot: And after that, I started to include more people in the photographs: I also took photographs of the other guests, all my friends: We all did a painting. Everyone was free to look for a reference on their phone and chose the one they liked the most. I did a landscape that I liked very much, the other two paintings in the photographs were done by my beloved girlfriend: image After we finished painting, while we were drinking and talking, I saw how a ray of light passed through one of the glasses and created a beautiful effect on the table: image And at that moment, an incredible idea came to my mind: a friend painted a sunset, so I thought of placing that ray of light right on the sun, and the result was that the light gave life to my friend's painting: image It was a very pleasant afternoon surrounded by people I value very much. I truly had a great time, and I hope you liked the photographs as much as I did! #photography #photostr
