"Ive learned that I still have a lot to learn..."


"It's Not My Duty to Die for Your Government and Suffer for Your Religion. I Choose Life." I like to think of myself as a unique individual who is currently living in this pathetic planet..that we call planet earth...Our home that is surrounded by other humans who walks and pollutes the earth wid our technology and our energy of emotions and drives the world into an old dry and yet very sensitive low energy itself can't and have no in control of us, humans are among on destroying diz world as well as ourselves...Soon we will be extinct, and soon other life force will take over...I myself dont know who will reign supreme in this world yet again...but those life force will take over and yet have a great deal care of this world and make it alot more peaceful and more carefree, cuz of wat us humans have done to it in the first place...our fate and destiny will be revealed when our end of extinction shall begin...HEY WHO KNOWS HUH, JST SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT, SO YOU READERS WON'T GET BORED AT ALL, BUT HMMM, I WONDER IF THAT WILL HAPPEN....but hey, believe what you believe...cuz I'm jst a human being in search of a vision and dreams...wondering what will become of us...SCARY thought, but were not immortal, we will die...everybody dies...sooner or later...why not sooner huh....hahha, jst messin with you....relax, live your life...live good, die well...

-ORIGINATED from ILOCOS NORTE Philippines 1985-1997 then migrated to Waipahu HAWAII est1997-2009 and move to San Diego CALIFORNIA june 2009 -nov. 2010 and now Residing Las Vegas Nevada.
I'ved only been shooting for 18MONTHS or so, and i just let my pictures speaks for it self, and some of them clients tells me im better than some of my idols, and i say "no matter what if im better than them, they will stay as my IDOLS"  im not here to challenge anybody in the photo world nor try to compare with others work..
Im jus here to network with other photographers, models and MUA that can help me build artistic pictures.  Artistic pictures that can create an ARTS.  ARTS that we actually can call our own, not bought.  So if you have a very Artistic mind then i would love to work with you. Otherwise if u want quality photos done? prepare to pay for them.

-There is no secret of taking pictures! You just gotta get along with people, being able to connect with people with the camera and without it is all part of it. Thats one of the skills of shooting. If somebody is relaxed and comfortable with you and ready to really work with you and you're plugged into their head, thats where good pictures come from.

-Just do what you love, Love what you do!

=================================================


Why are Professional Photographers so expensive?


(This article has been very well received by the photography community, and is now referred to by many Photography websites across the country)

In this digital age where everyone has digital cameras, scanners and home "photo printers", when people upload their photos to a local drug store website and pick them up a few hours later, we hear this all the time - How in the world do Professional Photographers charge $55 for an 8x10 when they cost just $1.50 at the drug store?

Here's why.

Simply put, you're not just paying for the actual photograph, you're paying for time and expertise. First, let's look at the actual time involved. If you don't read this entire page, at least read this first part.

For a two hour portrait session:

- one hour of travel to and from the session
- two hours of shooting
- 30 minutes of setup, preparation, talking to the client etc.
- 30 minutes to load the photos onto a computer (2 - 4 Gb of data)
- 30 minutes to back up the files on an external drive
- 3 - 4 hours of Photoshop time including cropping, contrast, color, sharpening, saving a copy for print and a copy for the internet and backing up the edited photographs
- 2 - 3 hours to talk to the client, answer questions, receive their order and payment, order their prints, receive and verify prints, package prints, schedule shipment and drop package off at Fed Ex.
- For local customers, we also print a set of all of their photos, and meet them at our studio to review the photos and place their order. Meeting and travel time averages 2 hours.

You can see how one two hour session easily turns into more than ten hours of work from start to finish. So when you see a Photographer charging a $200 session fee for a two hour photo shoot, you are not paying them $100 / hour.

For an eight hour wedding:

- I won't bore you with the details, but an eight hour wedding typically amounts to at least two to three full 40 hour work weeks worth of time. Again, if they are charging you $4,000 for an eight hour wedding, you are not paying them $500 / hour.

Now for the expertise.

Shooting professional photography is a skill, acquired through years of experience. Even though a quality camera now costs under $2,000 taking professional portraits involves much more than a nice camera.

Most Professional Photographers take years to go from buying their first decent camera to making money with their photography. In addition to learning how to use the camera itself, there is a mountain of other equipment involved, as well as numerous software programs used to edit and print photographs, run a website etc.

And let's not forget that you actually have to have people skills, be able to communicate, make people comfortable in front of the camera - and posing people to make them look their best in a photograph is a skill all by itself.

Think of it this way - the next time you pay $X to get your hair done, a pair of scissors only costs $1.50. But you gladly pay a lot more to hire a Professional.

What about the cheap studios at the mall?

Please don't compare us to the chain store studios. But if you must, consider all of the time and work that we put into our photographs, compared to what they do. Good luck getting a two hour photo shoot at a chain store. Not to mention they won't come to the beach! And of course, look at our work compared to theirs. You get what you pay for.

The truth is, most of the mall and chain store studios lose money. In fact, in 2007 Wal-Mart closed 500 of their portrait studios because of the financial drain they were putting on the company. What the chain stores bet on is that you'll come in for some quick and cheap photos, and while you're there, you'll also spend $200 on other things. They don't have to make money, they are just there to get you in the door.

Conclusion

We hope that those who have taken the time to read this page will have a better understanding of why professional photographs cost so much more than the ones that you get from your local drug store.
