Dream Love Grow is my friend Mailyn’s creative project. She is a beautiful person and is very inspiring. The video below is a long distance collaboration we did together. My friends and I sang/played music/recorded (from Ottawa). DLG and friends wrote the song and made the video (from the Philippines).

Kimiko Yoshida is a brilliant photographer. Her work to me is so breath taking and beautiful.

How did you want to style your self. Did you want to be you, or portray something that is not close to how you are in every day situations. 2: Gear: Work with what you have. If you don’t have lights than go with out doors lighting, or close to a sunny window. An option is to use white foam core or white Bristol board to bounce the sun light to yourself. A must is a tri-pod or something very sturdy like a table with books under it to balance your camera on. It needs to be level and stable. Before I had a tri-pod I would use a chair and find objects to level the camera. Make sure your camera has a self timer. 3: Once you have explored your clothing, makeup, location and you have your gear in place, it is time to model. Test your self timer to see how long you have before it takes a photograph. Also play with your exposure settings. If the “Manual” setting is too intimidating, try “Automatic” for now until you are ready to try something different. When posing try many different...
