Learning Process.

Right now I am just going through the learning process with what I prefer and what I would not prefer pertaining to fashion – as far as photography and design is concerned. Although I may just remain in this phase for as long as I live..

But you know what, that’s okay. There really is nothing wrong with learning the little aspects of yourself and sticking through with it. I believe that is how you know you are one step or a few steps closer to living your life to its potential.

Your only limit is the limit you are setting for yourself.

I have come to accept this fact that stepping out of your comfort zone is the only way you can really learn what it is you want or don’t want. How would you know if you do not try? Doing something out of the ordinary will open new doors / opportunities to feed that potential.
And no, I’m not suggesting that you do something super crazy like jump off a cliff, or go tackle a mountain lion – I am only implying that setting your boundaries only limits yourself to the endless possibilities that you may encounter. It is just in a matter of taking control of your own life by making the decisions you feel would nurture your growth.

Through taking little photo trips around different cities or locally, to reading design blogs (specifically Danny Choo’s Design Philosophy – which makes a lot of sense to me) and hunting for fashion books (I had recently picked up Rachel Roy’s Design Your Life – very inspirational and moving) I am slowly obtaining a peculiar perspective about how I want to portray myself as an artist, designer, photographer, and as well as an individual that eats and breathes in this vast world.

It is not something that will happen overnight, but it may take a lifetime of exploring for me to find that specific niche. For others, probably shorter.

And that’s okay.

Bokeh, Canon, DSLR, Personal, Photography, Street Fashion, Street Photography

I apologize it has been quite some time since I have actually posted anything.
For the most part I have been spending a lot of time with my new camera getting used to it. Currently using the Canon Rebel SL1 DSLR with the 50mm lens – and I must say I am falling in love with it each and every time I use it!

The reason why I chose this camera is because I had read that it’s the smallest DSLR Canon has made. I wanted to stick with Canon because I already had the 50mm lens given to me (Thank you, Uncle!)
Judging by the reviews of this camera based off Canon’s official website, it is lightweight, easy to use and more compact to bring around.
It is basically perfect what I would use it for along with the lens.

The lens itself has given me some really great shots that I am very satisfied with! Since it is a portrait based type of lens I am basically set with using this set up for now.

For example I went out to San Francisco’s Haight & Ashbury and took some random shots. However, I did come across a Royal which seemed like a picture perfect opportunity for me.

The quality is very clear and everything just fit so nicely to me.

Another example I have is going to the Monterey Bay Aquarium a few weeks ago. This was my first time taking the camera out with the lens as well.

The lens captured the main subject while the remaining subjects in the picture blurred out. This type of technique is commonly known as bokeh, where the foreground and background are clearly distinguished. I seem to have a particular liking to this type of style although I am aware it has to be used properly.

For now I am still getting used to this lens because I realized it is fixed – there is no zoom in/out function so I actually have to move around to get the full picture I am aiming for.

There is more to see on my Instagram and please stay tuned for more!

Fashion Design, Personal, Photography

Since I completed my prom dress project I have some pending project ideas that I would like to work on as far as designing goes. However I am lacking a few materials such as pattern paper to create my own patterns for my original designs. This can easily be fixed. (Although the workspace is also another obstacle which I will have to overcome or deal with.)

However, I do want to jump back to the topic of street fashion photography while my designing is idle (again) in the meantime. Good news, I had bought my own DSLR! So this way I can spend more intimate time with my own tool and practice shooting the types of pictures that I would like to take.

Even though it seems like I am jumping back and forth from one activity to the next it keeps my hands busy and productive. And I will focus on one thing at a time when need be.

Thank you for actively listening and please stay tuned for more updates coming soon.
