Consejos prácticos para comprar una DSLR esta Navidad

2011-12-22T21:23:00.001-06:00

One of the most common questions I have gotten these days have been…. “If I want to give a camera as a gift, what should I buy?” Or, “What should I choose for myself?” Well then, the first thing you must consider is: 1.- Brand. Choose whatever you feel the most comfortable with. And ask yourself these questions… can you have tech support in your city? Do you have a family member of friend who

Call me cheesy, romantic or bohemian. I don't care. For some it may be just an "object", lifeless. But for me, it was a loyal traveling partner that captured moments in my life. One of the most important moments in my life. Gave me the essence of the people which I came to love and now I miss. And now, by looking at each of these photographs, I immediately go back to that time, that moment in

Como entender los milímetros en la óptica en fotografía.

2011-11-23T22:14:00.003-06:00

One of the first problems every person has when starting in photography is to select the best optic for the type of photography you’ll be specializing in. I recommend not to buy the “kits” when purchasing a camera, and this is sustained by considering that the lens that the camera has is a very basic lens. So, if your intention is to grow in a controlled and adequate way, I recommend to

There is no excuse to see life from a different angle. Literally. There are no excuses to not use the camera you have with you, either professional or not; whethere it is a smartphone or a disposable camera. There are no excuses for saying “I can’t because I’m at school”; “I can’t because I’m at work”, or “because I’m sick”. Every single place turns to be the perfect moment to photograph. There

When night falls and towns sleep, the hard noise of the shutter may break the silence at night and shut the dog's barks. Cuando cae la noche y los pueblos duermen, solo el sonido seco del obturador puede romper el silencio de la madrugada y callar los ladridos de los perros.

In my journey through South Mexico, in a town locate in the middle of the Chiapas' mountains I found the most brilliant eyes that I have ever seen. The beauty of this girl was similar to the panoramic views I was able to appreciate every time I turned around. She belongs to the Zoque ethnic who name themselves O' deput, which means people of words. The particularity of this girl; besides her

There are things in life that one must include in the "bucket list" and the celebration of the Guelaguetza in Oaxaca, México should be one of them. For reasons I quite don't understand, I had the opportunity to see the last Calenda this year. The Calenda is the time that symbolizes the arrival of the traditional dances of the many different Oaxaca towns. Color, magic, happiness, music, songs..

Admito que he tenido muy abandonado mi blog, he tenido mi tiempo ocupado totalmente en 31Mil Retratos por la Paz que me exige todo mi atención. Pero en uno de esos días, donde mi cámara se negó a separarse de mi mano, me encontré con este personaje en una cantina, la cuál tiene más de 100 años. Y les puedo asegurar, que en ese momento me sentí mucho mas orgulloso de ser mexicano.

Parkour

2011-04-18T09:15:00.001-05:00

Last Saturday walking down the Chapultepec forest, I encountered a group of young people that jumped and flew right in front of me. I have seen Parkour in a TV show but being able to see it in person is inspiring. I would have loved to have a little bit of more time to do a short film on this, but my duties to 31K Portraits for Peace limited my time. It would be done later that I come visit my

One of the greatest satisfactions that one could have is being able to collaborate with a professional group of people that are focused on their job and that love what they do. I had the opportunity to work with AC&M in this recent production at the DFW Airport. I must admit that I felt like a 7-year old playing with airplanes and clouds…thinking of what it would be like to be old. Something

One more year of SXSW. I can't help to feel nostalgic for this ending that I waited a whole year to experience. I know that 2011 is gone but 2012 will come back and will be much better. If you have never experienced a SXSW you have to add it to your bucket list. You will not regret it. To end this year, I share with you what this meant to me. Friends, fun, dancing, many parties.

The legacy of "Shoe Shining" will stay in thousands of Mexicans thanks to great actors like Pedro

I can show off that the flavor is one of the best since I was paid in species (I would've been dumb

The truth is, as a photographer you should be prepared for any kind of situation you may encounter. It is a commissioned project or a personal one. But, let's be honest, you can't always have your speedlights or strobes with you, because is impractical or risk. That is why you should

I hate getting sick. Bye. Siento que estoy a una nada de enfermarme, por lo que no tengo inspiración para escribir, hoy conocí el sistema del metro de Mty, vi cosas interesantes, odio enfermarme.

At HW 360 (Capital of Texas), in the city of Austin, families, couples and friends have made a tradition of their own. And you can see this traditions from HW 183 until RR 2222 every year.

I have read many blogs and specialized websites that talk wonders about the iPad but I have found none that talks about how the iPad is great to support your work in a professional photo shoot. A few days ago, I downloaded the Capture Pilot software (from Capture) and it works perfectly. It allows you to take a photo (you must have your camera plugged into the iPad) so you can see the photo that

Through these two videos I want to answer that question that people have asked me in reference to the use of the iPad for professional photography (and amateur too). Most definitely I am not getting paid by Mr. Steve Jobs, so what I think of the iPad is merely a personal opinion and my point of view. So, by no means and I mean none, my opinion is not absolute and you as a photographer or a

Now, a few months later I have the opportunity to share a project with them, the difference is

A couple of days ago I had the pleasure to be at Juanjo’s studio and being able to see the first printed versions of the 43 photographs that are a part of “Town of Clouds”. I am speechless, WWOOOWWWW, in spite of living with these photos for almost a year, and have been seeing them over and over again, working with them, the printed version is an indescribable feeling. It is inevitable to smile

This is Mexico Cabrones! | Esto es México Cabrones!

During my last trip to Mexico I took my time to start a new series that is entitled "This is Mexico". For those who are not Mexicans it will be easy to recognize the Mexican charro figure, one of our most characteristic of our Mexican history. For those who are Mexicans, you won't let me lie, seeing a charro not only makes us proud of our history and traditions but also makes us remember of a

Corn Flakes

2010-05-04T10:37:00.010-05:00

I woke up today with the wish of photographing my breakfast. I love Corn Flakes, it is normal that I have a full bowl of them in the morning or as a snack in the afternoon. So, I thought of this and had the perfect excuse to show something a little bit different of Corn Flakes, something that I love. The execution was the following; I took a piece of a paper grocery bag and made a ball with

Workshop Feel first then shoot / Primero siente después disparas @Amarillo, TX

2010-04-17T11:36:00.012-05:00

After a few weeks fully scheduled and almost 9 hours of road from Austin to Amarillo TX, I had the pleasure to shared what I have learned in my career as a photographer with an incredible group of people. This I can assure has been one of the greatest personal and professional satisfactions in my life. Thanks to Brent and Vicky for inviting Daniela and I to be a part of this. Thanks to everyone

MariaJose, A true Love Story | MariaJose, la historia de un verdadero amor

2010-03-30T07:10:00.010-06:00

I have said before and I say it again, I´m not a social photographer, I do not shoot weddings, Sweet 16, Photo Booth or any other type of social photography. I do respect who does it, it is extraordinary to be able to capture moments of happiness of other people, but I DO NOT LIKE IT. I have done it in very very very special occasion because I can (and I have enjoyed it). As I have with MariaJose

SXSW Experience

2010-03-19T23:23:00.008-06:00

I had the great opportunity to be chosen for my first SXSW experience to create a series of portraits of the many different people during the days that SXSW music festival went on. For those who have never had the chance to be in a SXSW festival, I must tell you that this I recommend you do this must go into your bucket list. The energy that gets you is unique. The bands and the musicians start

I confess... I'm a Light Lover / Lo confieso...Soy un amante de la luz

2010-02-25T11:52:00.008-06:00

It was a simple thing to do, take a photo of my registration for my next 5K run because besides of loving photography I enjoy sports. It was something simple then, about 10 minutes for the post + photo. But, after I took the first photo, I realized that it was not the image I was aiming for, so I looked for a better angle trying to get the best out of the ambience light but no. It didn't

Last night I had the pleasure to meet fabulous and creative people at the Addy Awards 2010 in the city of Austin, TX. Congratulations to all of those for their noble participation in such a prestigious creative event. Plus, I want to congratulate in a special way my friend Jenaro Diaz who I consider one of the best web designers. Jenaro won Bronze in his category for that, I congratulate him

Sometimes the client lets you create and decide the creative&artistic concept of the photograph. This was an occassion. The client asked me to create a photograph for an editorial story related to the adult sexual fantasies (and not so adult too). Algunas veces el cliente te deja proponer y decidir libremente el concepto creativo y artístico de la fotografía, en esta ocasión así fué. El

What is it like to be a photographer | Que es ser fotógrafo

2010-02-04T17:57:00.008-06:00

To be a photographer for me is to see what others do not see. To interpret light and shadow. To dream about my next photograph, learn something new everyday, to experiment, to share, to get dirty, to get wet, to stay up late, to create and dare. To be a photographer is to drive 16 hours knowing that it was worth it. To discover, to discover me, it's all about passion, performance and see how

I normally shoot in RAW format. Why? Simple. RAW format will always give you the chance to use it in the best way possible when it is generated electronically. You can control temperature, highlights, midtones, shadows, saturations, etc. You’ll never know when you can get a really good photograph for photo stock. Una práctica que tengo tiempo de realizar es tirar siempre en formato RAW, sea

It has been seven months since Daniela and me were at the mountains of Jalisco living with natives named Wirrarika. This year the photographs I took will be exhibited in different parts of Mexico and the United States. The exhibit is called Kiekari tsie hai yuruxetriett / Town of Clouds. More than a showing of my work, I take some time to think how grateful I am to capture with my lens a story of

Austin Monthly Mag January Cover

2009-11-23T13:40:00.017-06:00

In this post, I will talk about the process I went through to create the photography used in the cover of Austin Monthly magazine in its January 2010 issue, Fitness. The first thing that I try to do is to visit the location, see its obstacles and advantages that I may have at the moment I begin the photo shoot. In this case, the photo had to be taken inside water, which implied having to have

Thursday morning. I can see that people are driving to their jobs, some with coffee in their hands, in a hurry... My shorts and my tennis tell that no, I am not driving to a work meeting. I feel the cold water in my feet, Rocco splashes water where he walks. I'm happy. He is happy. The trees tell us that autumn is here. My camera in my hand, ready to shoot the first photograph of the day. 9 am.

Mexican Mafia vs Empire. Series of 3 photographs showing what would happen if things got out of hand in Mexico. Being a Mexican, I have been reading nothing but bad news: drug cartels, mafia and corruption. I had a vision one day...and this is it. Mexico would after all finish with the Empire, we are just getting things to be worse.

Fenix @ NYC II

2009-09-25T10:09:00.002-05:00

As I mentioned in my last post (Kata Bag 3N1-10), I was in NYC last month. The reason? Fenix was exhibited in the New York City Fire Museum. What an incredible feeling. I only dedicate this post to the people who trust my work, Daniela and here family, my sister who was there with me and to those that could not be with me like my parents; who have supported me every single day of my life. And

Kata Bag 3N1-10

2009-09-19T10:08:00.001-05:00

Last month I had the opportunity to use my new bag Kata 3N1-10 in the city of NY. I had been traveling with my Tamrac 5587 Expedition 7x, which is an excellent option if you decide not to travel lightly. But, if your itinerary is full of giving walking-tours, your back will not keep up. For that reason, I decided to take my Nikon D3, my lenses 50 and 85 mm, extra batteries, video camera and my

A very controversial subject...photographer or illustrator? An enormous difference between one thing and the other. Thanks to the actual technology of digital photography and the editing software we have reached an era where the photography is confused with the illustration considering special effects and situations that Hollywood productions can only create. Nowadays, it is possible to see

Circus I from Diego Huerta on Vimeo. Exhausted, dehydrated and happy that is how we felt when we finished the Circus photo shoot. The humidity in the environment made the sweat run in our face and our clothes sticky. Yuck! Horrible feeling! However, it does not compare to the feeling of being inside an Italian style Big Top on a temperature of 107F. We unloaded the truck with our equipment

Fenix, un proyecto como pocos

2009-05-29T13:27:00.001-05:00

Hay proyectos como Fénix, donde una vez que disparas la primer fotografía sabes que no podrás detenerte, fué así como comenzaron los seis meses mas intensos que he tenido (hasta ahora). Uno puede pensar que un proyecto "pro bono" es buscar hacer lo menos por lo más, buscando un equilibrio entre tus recursos materiales, humanos y monetarios, pero con Fénix no fué así, decidimos no limitarnos bajo

La mejor manera de evitar detenerse es no parar. Es justo lo que hice en esta serie de autoretratos "Las cabezas de papel". No hizo falta más que algunas bolsas de papel y un poco de creatividad para lograr desarrollar un pequeño proyecto que tenía muchas ganas de hacerlo desde hacía ya varios meses. Hay ocasiones en que la simplicidad es la mejor aliada.
