At least a year and some months. Anyway, I thought I should keep some kind of record of my work now, since it's been changing all the time. I'll probably skip my whole sophomore year of college. Not that I didn't like any work I produced, I just don't want to look for it.<br /><br />This year I'm in Fashion class, which means I finally get to shoot Fashion imaged without being yelled at for being out of context! :) I'll keep up to date here with those assignments, as well as anything I do for my personal portfolio.<br /><br />Here's some:<br /><br />My Beauty/Glamour Assignment:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUQqoxkVA7PrctVcwr-XrI-nF3BJnPue2AHu6jlQFzgYQmj-cgZeY8Rgl9ab4AO_Gy78LjkAoJrVCgxUMFjUOqw_Q-8191c1l5-1Q6byHoHfBg4Ipa8IyKLlqQGqxDjE_GWXDRtQ6sDI09/s1600/Beauty3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUQqoxkVA7PrctVcwr-XrI-nF3BJnPue2AHu6jlQFzgYQmj-cgZeY8Rgl9ab4AO_Gy78LjkAoJrVCgxUMFjUOqw_Q-8191c1l5-1Q6byHoHfBg4Ipa8IyKLlqQGqxDjE_GWXDRtQ6sDI09/s320/Beauty3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522888664435632194" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyDGeA-Sd0huJIZCM1bDLuScN8Vf1vmUrCOGKgbegW4B6a2fytkuxFB4DMd_Xe1ka5xmudwo0HPvJA1QtpTbM2X6Idn5Yb8cZdAtd5WgwwCtL55OMQsoJYNlWz_F1UHvM5AELUTJItLxE4/s1600/Beauty2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 225px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyDGeA-Sd0huJIZCM1bDLuScN8Vf1vmUrCOGKgbegW4B6a2fytkuxFB4DMd_Xe1ka5xmudwo0HPvJA1QtpTbM2X6Idn5Yb8cZdAtd5WgwwCtL55OMQsoJYNlWz_F1UHvM5AELUTJItLxE4/s320/Beauty2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522888658471007074" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb0C-_mDpfr9gazLHl57WD7UEDusd6VBWe6jg_syO8rFMqaJbvHEUMhicZjAOnc-F41X3Ianjo7Mx2huNOZy5UiU0PqjdEiCFBzH7wuhfcB2KZ1sOgw_2DsI2hCDQC2hQcvRtNd0n_UuE3/s1600/Beauty1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 199px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb0C-_mDpfr9gazLHl57WD7UEDusd6VBWe6jg_syO8rFMqaJbvHEUMhicZjAOnc-F41X3Ianjo7Mx2huNOZy5UiU0PqjdEiCFBzH7wuhfcB2KZ1sOgw_2DsI2hCDQC2hQcvRtNd0n_UuE3/s320/Beauty1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522888653903984402" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxtJiwpL6CMoiDvINsLHvUBhD4QyN8u4CVobxmMHmZAMZpv5CL5z1hmdpp4Z63a5rSLS80JTvpfC93Kik2sdD_-qa-WFv2QQCMuHWQuSGPPyHpwqRqTPJbEUrC_4aHBI4FFotPsnMFixvh/s1600/Beauty4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxtJiwpL6CMoiDvINsLHvUBhD4QyN8u4CVobxmMHmZAMZpv5CL5z1hmdpp4Z63a5rSLS80JTvpfC93Kik2sdD_-qa-WFv2QQCMuHWQuSGPPyHpwqRqTPJbEUrC_4aHBI4FFotPsnMFixvh/s320/Beauty4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522888651651512274" /></a><br /><br />[The censored topless photo here will also be submitted for "Tata Gala" this year, a Breast-themed art show which donates a good portion of proceeds and submission fees to Breast Cancer research.

It was a class where I could *finally* submit photos of subject matter I was interested in, people and the form. So along with my love of concepts, I devised a project for my final based on the idea of Nightmares. I was having enough in those days, god knows why. <br />I chose some of the most popular themes of dreams people seem to have: Being chased, falling, drowning, suffocation, and having a threatening presence or an "unwanted visitor". So with one week to shoot all these as a series with 2 photos per concept, I was swamped! But I think the results weren't too bad :) I don't have any BTS of the shoots but here are my final results:<br /><br />"The Chase"<br /><br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view¤t=AutumnWoods.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/AutumnWoods.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view¤t=Chase2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Chase2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />"The Fall"<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view¤t=falling2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/falling2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view¤t=falling3.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/falling3.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />"Trapped"<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view¤t=Trapped2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Trapped2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view¤t=Trapped1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Trapped1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />"Drowning"<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view¤t=Drown1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Drown1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view¤t=Drown2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Drown2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />"Unwanted Visitor"<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view¤t=Unwanted3.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Unwanted3.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view¤t=Unwanted1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Unwanted1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />I had a lot of fun doing these, and hopefully I'll do something along the same lines soon. I really enjoy making photos that actually MEAN something..instead of pretty to the eye type of things. Not that there's anything wrong with those sometimes, but to have meanings really makes the photo all the more worthwhile. For me, and for my audience.nicolejeanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11761454152821793657noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4176312004416902564.post-59140986074574809102009-05-27T10:13:00.000-07:002009-05-27T11:01:25.570-07:00Long HiatusAlright, so it's been almost a year since I've even updated this page..eek. That's bad. But school has kept me very preoccupied. Last summer was the busiest I'd ever been shoot-wise and it was kind of good to have somewhat of a load off when school started. I definitely did not shoot very much when not in finals mode..and have only done a handful of model and client shoots throughout the year. Sarasota is a difficult place to find any kind of creative team, so I was challenged. But because I am now back home in Ft Lauderdale with many shoots to come, I'm ready to have fun again and document my experiences :) <br />When I get out of windows bootcamp, I'll have to post some of the work I've completed through my first year at college. <br /><br />Til then!<br

Rocks + Studio Shoots.<span style="font-family:arial;">What a great time, had by all :)<br />Got to work with a great and creative team, Christine Rose (fellow photographer), Alice (new muse), Jarad Gibson (great model, great guy) and Jenn Yates, the most awesome MUA I've ever worked with.<br />Alice and I crashed at Christine's place where we did nothing but eat bad food and do studio work at ungodly hours of the morning :)<br />We woke up at 5:45 am for the 1st shoot, where we traveled to Blowing Rocks Preserve, a section of beach in Jupiter where the rocks are so awesome and pole out of the water and then look like cliffs at low tide.<br />We met up with Jarad G, a new face and make up artist Jenn Yates.<br />Here's a few shots of Jenn doing her magic on Alice...<br /><a

alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Eventually we got super hot and dehydrated and took a break...we ate at a diner where we solicited the waitress to come shoot with us since we were one model short and she was pretty...didn't work out but she was a sweet heart and even said yes.<br /><br />Then we all realized we needed caffeine..<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=well7.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/well7.jpg"

alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />After reluctantly saying goodbye to Jenn [she had us all in a great, happy mood!] we returned to the rocks, eager to take advantage of the nice overcast conditions.<br /><br />Got some great shots that day:<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nicolejeanphotos/2746155286/" title="Jarad2 by Nicole Jean, on Flickr"><img

Just my luck. Even still, we were able to get some makeup done in the back of Christine's car.<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=Boleyngirlshoot001.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Boleyngirlshoot001.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=Boleyngirlshoot004.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Boleyngirlshoot004.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />Knowing the place closed at 5:30, we attempted to get in at 4:45 and they wouldn't let us :( So all looked pretty doomed and we were all pretty bummed, especially the poor models who were swimming in heavy costumes 5 times their size in the hot and humid air. But we managed to shoot a few shots of Amber in the area around the parking lot while Crystal was getting ready. Here's my favorite:<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=Sisters2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Sisters2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />Jesus, the mosquitoes were insufferable! But they always are. Thank god for repellent.<br /><br />So after that, we drove aorund for somewhere else to shoot, with the sun sinking, I was getting pretty anxious but Christine is a genius and we stubled upon this beautiful old church, with a yard and everything..so we stopped there :)<br /><br />"Anne" single Shot:<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=Sisters3.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Sisters3.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />"Mary" single shot:<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=Sisters6.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Sisters6.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />"Covet"<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=Sisters4.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Sisters4.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />"Face Off"<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=Sisters7ED.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Sisters7ED.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />Getting touched up and taking peeks at the shots...<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=Boleyngirlshoot110.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Boleyngirlshoot110.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />Christine shooting Crystal:<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=Boleyngirlshoot136.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Boleyngirlshoot136.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />Amber taking a break with Cara:<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=Boleyngirlshoot137.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Boleyngirlshoot137.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />Some more gems.<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=Sisters5bw.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Sisters5bw.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=Sisters8.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Sisters8.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=Sisters1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Sisters1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />And more behind the scenes:<br />Christine, shooting the girls:<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=Boleyngirlshoot196.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Boleyngirlshoot196.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />Crystal, me, Amber and Cara...Christine took it because...grumble.<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=Boleyngirlshoot201.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Boleyngirlshoot201.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />They were so ready to get out of the costumes!

As if I were going somewhere the next day. So I said sure let's do it tomorrow! And so without much planning or thinking, we did. :p<br /><br />With no place to really shoot, we decided to stick around my house. Bringing along her brother Mitchell and her boyfriend Eric, it was definitely an interesting time!<br />Alice getting ready:<a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=Alice002.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Alice002.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />Also my first shoot using my brand new offbrand flash! It's really not bad for what it is. Here's a shot taken with the flash:<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=Alice1-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Alice1-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br /><br />While Alice and I shot, her boyfriend and brother traveled to a nearby playground, where we had to go retrieve them...<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=Alice042.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Alice042.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />After a while, we decided the 98 degree weather was perfect for shooting in a desert like area, so we packed up and took a short drive to the farming area across the street from my neighborhood. While sinking in the sand, and waiting for Mitchell and Eric to come back from their journey across the field, I managed to get a few shots of Alice....:<br />redoing the makeup.<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=Alice091.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Alice091.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=Alice3.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Alice3.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=Alice5.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Alice5.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />Alice and me:<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=aliceandme.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/aliceandme.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />And then the two boys came back..looking a little like they've been stranded on a desert island, and really having fun with it.<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=Alice098.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Alice098.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Eric was just a little more modest than Mitchell as you can see.<br />And then we learned that a very stereotypical farmer guy had kicked us out of the field. Private property...hmm..that usually means "Good pictures here!"<br />We went to a gas station and stocked up on liquids and headed back to my apartment.<br />We shot some more..<br /><br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=Alice6.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Alice6.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=Alice4.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Alice4.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />And when the sun went down, we went over the photos and Alice and Eric ended up staying till the early hours of the morning, don't remember much, just watched some hilarious Muffins video on youtube. :)<br /><br />That's about it for now!<br />Alice's MM account: http://www.modelmayhem.com/member.php?id=438924<span class="small"><strong></strong></span>nicolejeanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11761454152821793657noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4176312004416902564.post-42412111181122200792008-07-06T13:41:00.000-07:002008-07-06T13:56:54.786-07:00Cristina @ VizcayaSo this past Thursday, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Cristina Alexa Morales and </span>and I had a great shoot. Her mother took us down to Miami where we decided to risk shooting at the Vizscaya Mansion and Gardens without a permit, hehe. It was SUCH a lovely, amazing location and I really couldn't afford the $125 for the permit. Besides, the site said for Professional Portrait Photographers...hmm, I don't remember being a professional...! So we came in and saw that there were around nine other photographers doing sweet 16 and Quincenera shoots. We blended right in!<br /><br />Cristina's mom doing a little grooming :)<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=CristinaV043.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/CristinaV043.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />A shot from the "Secret Garden"<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=Vizcaya1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Vizcaya1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />And the fountains<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=Vizcaya4.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Vizcaya4.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />A balcony..<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=Vizcaya5.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Vizcaya5.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />And one of the many lovely staircases in the gardens<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=Vizcaya9.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Vizcaya9.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />After that, we were going to go to Fairchild Gardens..we tried asking a few officers where it was<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=CristinaV194.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/CristinaV194.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br />And no one knew.<br />So we opted for dinner at Mediterranean diner near south beach...<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=CristinaV195.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/CristinaV195.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />and the waitress found out from someone in the kitchen where the garden was. We went there, and it was deserted! So strange.<br /><br />The rest of the night was spent at the shops on South Beach. Lots of interesting people in Miami...<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=CristinaV197.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/CristinaV197.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />And even better clothes shops. :) Anyone wanna buy me this?

But when you have a good model, why not, right? Anjelica picked her up and they came to my apartment, we spent some time (okay a LOT of time) doing makeup and hair. Ultimately we decided on crayola paint for the eyes and toilet paper rolls for the hair. (Don't ask...) Here, of course are some shots from the preparation segment:<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=bloo010.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/bloo010.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=bloo014.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/bloo014.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=bloo018.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/bloo018.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />Then we took a drive over to Tradewinds park. Upon leaving the car, I saw some dude deting up his tripod. I yelled over to him, like a dork "Hello fellow photographer!" and he replied genially, probably wanting me to leave him alone. But then he said it was his first time in the park so I gave him some friendly tips and let him know the more scenic spots. He thanked me and set off. Oh I felt so cool. It's so funny when you see someone else with a camera and you automatically assume you have this..strange connection, like you were born in the same hospital and just happened to come upon them in a random spot in the world. Or maybe I'm just overanalytical.<br /><br />After being shooed away from my desired spot for shooting by the elite frisbee-golf jockeys, we finally started to shoot. It was my first shoot using an actual reflector (not a piece of cardboard with tinfoil plastered on it!) and it was pretty cool. Almost like having a light outdoors. Which Im investing in at the moment..<br /><br />Me and Jenny, being hippies.<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=bloo026.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/bloo026.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />Anjelica being modest and Jenny being a confused gangster.<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=bloo028.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/bloo028.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />Jenny...skipping..or something.<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=bloo035.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/bloo035.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />Jenny being Jenny.<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=bloo039.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/bloo039.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />Some edited shots:<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=Jen3.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Jen3.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=Jen1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Jen1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=Jen2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Jen2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />That's about it for this shoot.

Not so important, not like anyone really looks, haha. I have my view count, I know what goes on...<br />Anyway I will keep on for the sake of keeping on!<br /><br />Anyway so yesterday, <a href="http://www.modelmayhem.com/member.php?id=687114">Mayte Hodson</a> and I started shooting. It was, of course, an outdoor shoot [which in FL isn't a great idea in the summer.] We started shooting some pics on a dock on a lake near her house. Then of course, the rain came pelting down. Now I've had to cancel 2 shoots in the past 5 days due to rain. I couldn't let this get me. After running back to her apartment, we did some shots in the bathtub which was something I just needed to do since I never have...<br /><br /> And then we had some watermelon...<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=Mayte102.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Mayte102.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br /><br />which was fun.<br /><br />And then the great <a href="http://www.modelmayhem.com/member.php?id=587299">Anjelica Martinez </a>comes over and lets me borrow her strobe/soft box. Now I never use lights so this is a new thing. I definitely loved it! Here's my first edited shot:<br /><br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=Blackwidow.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Blackwidow.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br />Jelly and Mayte spent like 2 hours on makeup while I sat around eating and reading Elle.<br /><br />Here's some shots:<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=Mayte104.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Mayte104.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=Mayte105.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Mayte105.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=Mayte107.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Mayte107.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />It was an incredibly long shoot and I didn't stop til 11:30 ish.<br /><br />But it was fun!

So much has happened since I've last posted, too much to write. But I have had some amazing shoots and wish i could have gotten around to documenting them but I am so starved for time. Not to mention my computer's a piece of CRAP and it's soo slow that it's hard to get myself to want to even resize some behind the scenes shots to post here. It's that bad. But not too long until I receive my free laptop from the scholarship I won, and then, freedom!

I got to shoot with the lovely Jenny Liu. Her friend Mayte generously provided her wardrobe and we got some really awesome shots. Here's a few!<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=Jenny3.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Jenny3.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=Jenny6.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Jenny6.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=Jenny15BW.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Jenny15BW.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />Then today a fellow photographer, Anjelica Martinez, Jenny and I got together to shoot. Here's some shots from the preparation :)<br /><br />Scary Jenny!<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=1jennyscary.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/1jennyscary.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />Goofing.<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=angelicaandjenny.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/angelicaandjenny.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />Jenny had a pretty flamboyant 80's prom dress on but oddly enough, it worked out really well!<br /><br />Then when we got to "The Stable" --a location I definitely overuse but still love, Jenny's friend Alice [also a model] joined us and it just turned into a pretty large shoot with Alice's brother and boyfriend there. But it was a fun shoot! New people are always great to meet.<br /><br />Alice doing her makeup on a tire!<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=1alice.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/1alice.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />Anjelica shooting Jenny<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=1anjelicajenny.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/1anjelicajenny.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />Jenny and Alice<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=1jennyalice.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/1jennyalice.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=group1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/group1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />Shot of Alice<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=Alice1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Alice1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a>nicolejeanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11761454152821793657noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4176312004416902564.post-70470772905097070032008-03-28T10:19:00.000-07:002008-03-28T10:36:19.574-07:00Shoots, shoots and shoots.So these past few weeks and the next few have proven to be my busiest so far! I have an average 2 shoots a week now, and it's pretty amazing. It's reassuring that every time I do one, I am increasingly certain that this is it for me. I'm just so sure that photography is what I want to do for the rest of my life. It's a great feeling, knowing..you spend a lot of your time in adolescence and childhood just wondering what it's going to be. I'm happy to know right now, at 18 and before starting college.<br /><br />I realize I never posted any shots from my shoot with Lisa..these were taken about a week and a half ago:<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=lisa3.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/lisa3.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=lisa7.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/lisa7.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=lisa13.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/lisa13.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />She was just too cute with her boyfriend in the shots...they were totally natural too, hardly any posing. I felt quite intruding, haha.<br />I also learned, on Lisa's shoot that I am fully unable to jump a 10 foot fence, lol. I really wanted to get over it to shoot on the other side..it just did NOT work out.<br /><br />Skipping over to the day before easter. It was rainy and gross and so typical FL like. But the shoot must go on, right? I shot with a friend from school named Rachel. Here's some shots!<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=Rachel1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Rachel1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=Rachel10.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Rachel10.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=Rachel14.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Rachel14.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />Eventually the rain started to really pelt. So we were out of there!<br /><br />On a subject change, we're getting ready to move again because we've been kicked out of our apartment, go figure. It's ridiculous, the reason, which I will not disclose..but at least I'll be moving closer to where most of my friends live. Coconut Creek, oh joy. [There are coconuts, but no creeks.] My room is still totally unpacked and we have to be out of here in 2 days. What a procrastinator, huh? Oh well. I'm going to miss having my own room. Sharing with the mother. Eek. Oh well...<br /><br />Yesterday I shot with the lovely Jenny Liu, and I will have a post on that shoot coming up soon! :]<br /><br />xnicolejeanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11761454152821793657noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4176312004416902564.post-79137700936920255062008-03-19T17:29:00.000-07:002008-03-19T17:57:48.716-07:00Crystal's ShootSo this weekend I actually did two really fun shoots, but my first blog entry will be Crystal's [since I've got some of her pictures edited already]<br />So we met for coffee on Friday, attempted to visit some thrift stores but they were all closed. Go figure. So the next day she came back up [from Miami] and we went to a Vintage shop and got this awesome 30's or 40's vintage hat for $20...had to kind of pressure the shop guy to sell it since it was on display, hehe. And then we went to this thrift hut which had absolutely too much to want! She picked up about 6 pieces of vintage clothing and I got a bunch of prop-like things, a really cool porcelain mask and a hairpiece for Crystal. We then went on a search for some cool gloves but couldn't find any. I left for my shoot with Lisa and Crystal went to another vintage shop to find gloves, which she did, finally.<br />Sunday, we got started at like 12:30 and hit up the old abandoned horse stable. A place I love but am growing tired of rapidly...I need something else, some place NOT green. So afterwards we went downtown to Ft. Lauderdale and shot near the performing arts center. Of course it HAD to be like, 90 degrees until the freaking sun went down so Crystal and I were melting all day. But we had lots of fun. Even though I forced her to smoke half a pack of cigarettes [for the sake of art!...] We got some great shots. We took a walk on Los Olas and got some dinner and discussed our next shoot. And I really can't wait because Crystal was awesome! See for yourself:<br /><br />Crystal before we started shooting! haha<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=crystalcurlers.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/crystalcurlers.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />In a really cool purple fur [I do not support this, though] jacket.<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=Crys1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Crys1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />Vintage!<br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=Crys7.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Crys7.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=Crys3.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Crys3.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />A little softer..<a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/?action=view&current=Crys6.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/MomentsXlikeXthese/Crys6.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />And then back to bad.

This blog will document my experiences and included behind the scenes shots and even some bloopers. It's an experimental look-see for all those interested. :)</span><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">I'll most likely make my first entry this weekend.
