Sneak peeks always come with only one photo. Rightfully so, how can you provide more when it is indeed just a "peek". Then again, there are always exceptions to the rule especially when it is something unordinary, huge, and super-awesome.
Today, I shot the photosession of Adonis and Delia. Adonis is a wedding photographer from Greece. I was stoked when he actually asked me to shoot him and his wife for a session while we are in Vegas for the WPPI. Being asked to shoot by a fellow photographer from Europe? that's unordinary. =)
Since I've been hanging out with superstar photographers Dino Lara and Nelwin Uy throughout the convention, I invited them to go in the shoot with me if they didn't have anything to do. I guess MGM bored both of them so they said yes. that's huge =)
All of these plus an awesome Vegas location courtesy of Missy Moran who dolled-up Delia... super-awesome. =)
Thus this is the sneak peek of a cant-be-missed post of this mega Vegas e-session. And just like the sign on the above photo says, come back soon for more! =)
James and Jaygee are from Texas. They said the city they live in is in the middle of nowhere. I say that that place is very lucky to have two awesomely cool individuals willing to give it some boost of fun and charm. hahaha!
The place where we shot this e-session is the probably the best opposite of Edinburg Texas. Where else can the words "boring" and "nothing" could have possibly been erased in the city dictionary than in Vegas. Yep, Sin City, the city where sin, celebration, and everything in-between never sleep, is where we wreaked havoc shooting up to 4am! Seriously.
Coincidentally, it was also the weekend where James and Jaygee were celebrating their bachelor and bachelorette party. No need to tell you what happened there, and afterall what happens in Vegas... yep, it stays there ;)
I'll be in Vages again this March 7-11, 2010 to take part in the WPPI activites. Shoot me a note if you guys are interested for a meet-up, shoot, or whatever else =) woohoo!
Metrophoto's recently concluded US trip was by far the most grueling set I've ever done. It's unbelievable to know how much one can put himself to a challenge, not only physical, but more over, of mental exhaustion (think consecutive e-sessions that must be unique to each other) in different climates and in different cities. Fine, it sounds exaggerated and like an intro in the next episode of Man vs. Wild... but hey it was just also me (without any camera crew) if any more comparison is needed. hahaha.
Despite all those whining and self pity, I must say that it was such an amazing experience. I am truly blessed with the best of clients and the best of friends. Check out samples of the shoots in the round-up below. All of these incredible destination e-sessions were only paused by me attending the equally incredible workshop of Amelia and Justin Lyon in Laguna Beach, California (I'll blog about the workshop next). Enjoy the photos and watch out for the complete galleries and posts soon! =)
