"Gemini" with Alexa Nunez


This is my awesome friend Alexa. She has always been supportive of my wierddd and crazy "visions" and/or ideas, and I thank her for being so easy to work with.

Even before the year 2014 even begun, I wanted to plan a project for the rest of the year, so I started sketching ideas of possibly future shoots going down this year and decided to sketch a concept I had in mind at the moment and then compare it with the final image. I guess it worked. 

Original idea: 


This idea came to life when I was helping out my grandma cleaning some ol'room and found these wierd-looking twin masks, and she said it was better if I kept them. I didn't think I'd use them for a photo, but I sure am glad I didn't get rid of them! 
As shown above, that was my original concept, it changed completely because I believed I was gonna come up with something in the middle of the shoot. And I did. 

More from the shoot ! Enjoy !

" The Journey Begins "

Image
Image number one of this long-term series I'm starting based on a mix of a fantasy world + a variable medieval feel to it.  There's a lot to say about how I came to start this series or even came to think of it. Art has been a huge part of my life and I've always associated it with movies, video games and music I grew up with. I've always been fascinated by fantasy and just about anything science fiction and I can say about 80% of my work is greatly inspired by it and it's something I'll never stop doing. This past winter break was hard yet a good stage for me because I got tired of my work. I got tired of looking at what I've done so far and not feeling 100% creative and feeling like I didn't fit into any of the styles I was trying all this time. I started taking photos of zoo animals to lifestyle to self-portraits and creative portraits etc. I can say i'm happy where I'm standing because that's the special thing about ar

" The Crow King "

Image
This is definitely one of my favorite photo shoots I've shot in a while ! My character for today is a crow king. I made this character up inspired by Bloodbourne themes and just photo references off the internet. Spencer killed it in this costume and no one could have done it better ! I appreciate his enthusiasm and I'm glad we were on the same page for this. I ordered this gold crown online for kids and spray painted it all black, used some of Jimmy's  (  my bird ) feathers which I also spray painted black and it looked pretty evil yet majestic. I also ordered a fake crow for him to hold on his hand ( originally on his arm ), and a toy sword. I asked him to wear all black, and then my awesome friend Daniel ( THANKS A LOT BTW ) let us borrow his really cool and gothic-looking black coat which went with the red cape just perfectly. I also ordered a red smoke bomb to give it this dark evil feel to the photograph and I guess it worked. I'm so happy with this sho

" Los Egos "

Image
I played Little Nightmares last week and MAN did I LOO00OOoooOooo00oooove it!! I recommend it over 9000 ! It's an amazing game and I would 10/10 play it over and over again. So,  Little Nightmares is about a girl named Six, we don't know why she got to where she's at. In the game, she has to find herself a way to escape " The Maw " where horrible things happen, is it an orphanage ? A torture chamber ? Who knows. But you sure need to play a game of Hide and Seek with all the monsters annd that is the fun part ! The game has no dialogue, they don't really explain much, and that's what makes it interesting because there are a TON of theories that are way too interesting to not watch. I'll let you all go play the game before I start telling spoilers ! One of the theories I was really interested in made from a dude on youtube with the username " The Inhuman One " started to do research on how the Japanese mythology or folklore heavily infl
