Last day before portfolio evaluation!

The portfolio evaluation is scheduled for Aug 26th. We have one more day only to get ready for that. Everyone has been working extremely hard to have everything done on time. It is amazing to see how each one of us has a different and beautiful style.  So many beautiful images...

Congratulations to everyone!! Here is one of the images that it will be in my Commercial Session.

Green Eye Lashes

I saw the green eye lashes on TV one day and I decided to try a photo shooting with Jessica (Victor's wife) last week.  It was exciting but they are kind of heavy and it was difficult for Jessica to keep her eyes opened. Thank you Jessica!

Special Project for Photo Imaging

Today,  we presented a Special Project on Photo Imaging III class. There were 2 options to pick: a tarot card or a movie poster. I decided to do "The Tower" tarot card to try to exercise my creativity. It was kind of challenging since my classmates are very good in Photoshop. My tarot card express my reality trying to finish my portfolio.  It is pretty hard to finish the portfolio and at the same time take extra classes. I cannot give up now. 

Baby Julian

Baby Julian is Suchi Patton's nephew. He is too sweet for his diaper! Thank you Suchi for letting me taking some pictures of your cute nephew. Suchi is my former classmate and she has been very supportive. Thank you again friend!

Churches, theaters, bridges ... just special places of Ceara

I  found out that I love shooting pictures of old churches and theaters mainly when they are barroco or gothic style. I am more a contemporary style person but .... Click here to see more about the architecture from Ceara.

Canguru Project

The "Canguru Project" was created to accelerate premature babies development. The moms are allowed to stay longer in the hospital with all necessary assistance however, the babies need to be in contact with the moms bodies most the time. The results are impressive so, the hospital is creating a new area to accommodate more simple moms. Click here to see more pics of this wonderful project!

Brazilian People

I love capturing images from my people. I dedicate special attention to the locals. The simplicity of those people is amazing. I can spend days and days photographing their routines. Click here to understand more about I am saying. 

Inace Marina and Shipyard

During my visit to Brazil, I was visiting some areas and I saw some old ships in the Inace Shipyard. I sent an email to the company and Micherlene from Marketing Department gave me an authorization to photograph. Take a look in what I found there! If you want to see more click here.

Visiting Ceara -Brazil

Ceara is a state located in Northeast of Brazil. There are beautiful beaches, dunes and canyons. 

Some books state that Ceara would mean Sahara due to the number of dunes. I really had a wonderful experience there. In the city, I was not comfortable using my new camera but farther down the beaches, people are still very gentil and nice. There are lots os fishermen and they use a Brazilian boat called "jangada". The "jangadas" are pretty small but they can stay out to sea for several days. I hope you can enjoy a  little bit more of my country's landscaping.  If you want to see more pics click here.
