Angelina Jolie + VOGUE

"Undefeated beauty".....
When I look into photography, I always think of all the professional fashion shoots I would see in magazines. That is the style I wish to master one day, and one that I would love to create using the island's locations. My most favorite fashion shots are those I always find in Vogue magazines.I love how they're full of art, passion and emotions and how their photographers captures the purest feature of their models.
Then there are the images taken of the famous celebrities we all know by heart. One such as Angelina Jolie. Who could forget her? The biggest icon of beauty. Her roles are always remembered and her exotic features will never be forgotten. She is one of the best examples of an incredible model just because she makes photographs of her look legendary.

Oh My Gosh...........

Oh man, I think EVERYONE should live by this one rule; try before you make a decision cause in a single moment, you'll be missing out on something incredible and might end up regretting X.x

During my friend's birthday weekend, I ended up trying something out that was hella amazing. I knew alotta peeps down here has tried it before cause the island is covered with dirt roads, but I could never find the right person with the right car to go off-roading. Luckily though, that Saturday we ended renting a Suzuki Grand Vitara, it was one of the only cars left on the lot aside from the new 4runner and one we were actually really eying on. When the dude told us how much it was compared to what we heard on the phone, damn I went ahead and got it. Now I'll talk more about this on a next post cause on this post I'd like to write about a ride that caught my eyes.
Suzuki Kizashi 2010 
After being able to drive the Grand Vitara (a ride I actually wanted right away after I got my license)  for a day, I was bought. The power of the car and the handling was extremely awesome, and I got to test out one of the rides I did love. It made me wanted to learn more about Suzuki and once I got on the page, my attention was caught else where.

One of there newest models blew me awaaaaaaaaay. The Suzuki Kizashi screamed sport, fun, power and all around me. LOL

Argh I know I got my heart set on a ride already, but damn ;p

Collaborative Shoot with Marie Sayson Photography

Seven days ago I took on a collaboration with a local upcoming photographer/make-up artist and friend Marie Sayson of Marie Sayson Photography. We took on a very familiar location here on island which fit perfectly with her action theme. The Old Japanese Jail located here in Saipan is one awesome location, it's old, run down and grudge-ie, just the way we like it =].

Jacky (My Assistant) and Marie Sayson (Marie Sayson Photography)

It was really the perfect place for a Tomb Raider like reenactment, though being around this location at night was a little scary O.O

Secondary shots by me. As always, my awesome assistant/personal model did a great job. We had some artist block along the way but recovered fairly well lol. I miss editing shots where I can customize them the way I usually do with my images.

Dizz Is Mah House! This set alone made me realize what I set back and separated from my true abilities and what I've been trying to master. I really ain't looking into being a complete photographer, I rather be a visionary artist ^-^.

Oww Oww lol.

Though I'm still holding back on the graphics, it's only because I don't want one medium overlooking the other. Sadly during this whole shoot, my camera was set manually on a fixed setting that wasn't appropriate for the lighting that night. Lol, I tried to use Marie's second SLR that she made me play with, but I just couldn't get the right fill =/ Hopefully this won't be the same story when I finally get my own.
Movie Trailer feel hehe.

All in all it was a fun shoot and another opportunity to add onto our growing portfolios =D.


Till next time, be on the look out for more collaborations!!
Make sure to Visit Marie's Facebook page as well, she has great potential and I can't wait to see her grow creatively XD


Love,
Nix

Wonderful Wedding Photographs By JWL Photograpy

I think I can safely say that every girl dreams of her wedding day. She dreams about her dress, her hair, her make up, her bride maids, everything from the ceremony to the reception and everything else in between ^-^. Alot of stress and planning goes into a wedding, especially if it's based on your dreams, so having them documented is a major need. That is why it should never be taken lightly. It's a once in a life time event, and because of the power of photography, we are able to capture the most precious moments and have them last forever.

Jason Lee of J W L Photography has a well rounded talent for wedding and portraits. He captures the most intimate emotions with every couple he meets as well as everyone else during the event. I love how he focuses on the bride and groom and how you can strongly tell by their photographs that they're completely sincere about the love they have for each other.

His creative approach also brings out the characters in his photos and every one of them tells a story. His captures never just seems to be a picture of a bride and groom and their wedding or engagement, they're more like memories frozen in time.














And aside from his wedding portfolio, he has a gorgeous collection of family portraits.


He also has an adorable collection of photographs of his daughters. They are so cute and the photo shoots he has with them are so fun and creative ^-^







I hope all yahll enjoyed the post =D
