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%.



Armed pro government groups are checking vehicles on the streets of Caracas to identify and arrest those who oppose the dictatorship.

Police in Mérida state announce the arrest of two people for “celebrating the kidnapping of President Maduro”.
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.
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":


And then her whole family joined the photography:
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!!

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:
And then another one in a close up shot:
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:




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:
In the same park, I saw another very beautiful scene, a dad teaching his son to ride a bicycle:
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:
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:
In Venezuelan cities, it is common to see elderly people sitting outside their houses:
A gentleman walking, wearing a casual hat:
A man buying at a small shop with the typical "symbolism" of bananas hanging outside to indicate that it is a bodega:
I took the following two photographs in the same place:

"Businesses":
A motorcycle taxi driver waiting for clients:
These Jeeps have always been my father's favorites. I wish I could give him one in the future if God allows me:
People exercising, this city is quite sporty!


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:
For some reason, her outfit reminded me of Cleopatra, the Egyptian queen, the girl looked full of power and pride:
We also took a photography with the girl sitting on the floor:
Then I put a cube on the set, and we took a photography raising the glass as a symbol of celebration for her achievement:
And if you ask, what achievement? Graduating from university:
So, at this point, we started taking a couple of photographs with the graduation cap and gown:

Then with both of her parents:


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:


And we also wanted to include the university diploma:
And at this point, we took the characteristic and typical graduation photography:
The girl wanted to take a photography from the back:
And we also took one photo with the girl seated:
And at this point, we included the girl's parents so she could have a family photography:
And then we also included her boyfriend:
I helped them with the pose to make the photography more fun and interesting:
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!

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:
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:
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!
