It’s been about 3 and a half years since I did my first real shoot, a real shoot being something we planned out from top to bottom working with subject rather than just shooting an event. Since I’m finally getting back into blogging, I felt like it was appropriate to start from the very beginning for my very first Throwback Thursday!
My old editing sans border
Edited the way I would today
Most of the gigs I had been shooting prior were events for the Asian American Student Union and the Filipino Student Association at UF. Jonathan DelRosario was having trouble with his camera so I had been asked to fill in for him a few times. My feet were wet, but I needed to just jump into shooting. I felt like I needed to learn more about photography before I fully committed to being a photographer. One of my best friends Dean and I were talking about who we could potentially shoot, and well, Zac and Annie were the cutest couple on the block. :]
I really had no clue what I was doing at the time. It had only been about 4 months since I had picked up a camera and at least 5 years since I had shot something with purpose. Guiding poses was a foreign language in 2010, but Zac and Annie were such good sports. The camera loves these two and so many of these photos came out so natural and real.
