Weddings...I just love them. I have been to a few weddings and enjoyed it all so much. There are many styles to shooting wedding, either artistic or journalistic, my degree in Studio Art: Media Arts gives me the range of adapting to any kind of wedding photographer you want. Starting new in a new city and learning the different places that are unique gives me an edge on where to shoot for Engagements. For me, it is not about where you shoot, but it is about the bride and what she likes.

We like to help people by offering low prices and produce quality pictures/videos.
Here are some examples of wedding videos for you to decide if we can be the right photographer/videographer for you.
The quality you see in the videos is the same as, or close to what it will look when we shoot your wedding.

February Already!

2010-02-22T21:08:00.002-05:00

December is almost over, well to the point that christmas is just around the corner and Sunday Dec 20 is going to be the release of our new holiday short called "A Similie of Nature", don't really want to tell you about it, so you just have to watch it and find out whats it about, don't worry, its short.
I have alot of pictures unpublished on here, most of it is on facebook but I do have alot up. So if your my friend, drop by and take a look.
Well this weekend is going to be fun as I will be heading up to San Diego to meet and party with an old college friend while next week I will be flying up to San Francisco to hang with the cousins and even go to Reno during Christmas. At least I'll be with family per se.
Til next time and enjoy the poster.

Thanksgiving

2009-11-26T06:58:00.003-05:00

Today is Thanksgiving, a time where I am away from home this year, wish I could spent time with the parents but I will not be coming home this year. It is a time about sharing, giving, and spending quality time together and also eating tons of food.

Well, I am updating to let all those who read blogs know that we will be shooting a short sometime soon and will be releasing it before christmas. In the stages of writing and plotting, finding location, and getting equipment and booking actors/actresses for the roles. Look forward to it's release and check on some behind the scene photography of the short.

This Christmas will also be another time I will not be spending it with the parents but I might and will be traveling to the other family of mine. May it be in San Francisco or Las Vegas, at least its spending time together. Hope you have a good holiday weekend and don't fight to hard on Black Friday.

Happy Holidays,

Steven

Moving again...

2009-10-07T03:33:00.004-04:00

one last time then LA. it's almost over, one last week in memphis, actually gonna be less than a week as I'm heading up to Knoxville to visit one last time. Indiememphis was just here so I hoped you checked it out and watched some independent movies from people all across the world at Malco's studio on the square. There were some great films like Memphis Movement: Urban Ballet and Children of Invention that I saw there. Got to meet some really cool people (directors, producers, and many film makers) Paranormal Activity was also shown early since its a film festival. One famous director in memphis is Craig Brewer who directed Hustle and Flow and Black Snake Moan. He is a pretty cool guy and does alot of stuff around memphis. Check out my pictures if you haven't already. Well I gtg. http://indiememphis.com I volunteered working it also. Till next time.

Steven out.

Birthday Week

2009-08-15T01:20:00.004-04:00

Currently in Memphis. Celebrating my birthday this week with alot of food to eat. Sushi on monday, Chinese food on tuesday, Korean food on wednesday, and Italian food on thursday. It was good. I got a nice german chocolate cake injected with condensed milk with whipped cream icing and almonds....sooo good. I will be in Vegas next week for a little mini vacation followed by a wedding next saturday. One of my friends from back in the day is getting married. I still think I'm to young to even think about getting married. So I wish them alot of love and happiness.

Summer ending?!?

2009-07-28T14:00:00.000-04:00

It's almost over, I will be moving from Knoxville to Memphis in about 2 weeks. What am I going to do? Well, there are new places to see, new things to accomplish, set some goals, go out, and snap away. And then a few months after that, I will plan on my next move, either to the hills of San Francisco or become the life of a hollywood drama.

**also new design layout on our portfolio http://dusome.net**

Peaceout,

What's on my mind.

2009-06-29T23:51:00.001-04:00

So I guess this blog is not going to be all about photography, I am going to talk about my life since it is a blog and portfolio. I have recently moved most of my articles to this site since a few of my friends are on it, and it's easier to update. My old blog was here (it's mostly the same as this one). I tend to rant on about my life so if you like to listen, keep reading. We have been getting alot of requests from models to shoot with us. I have been trying to plan it out and shoot everyone but I don't think I have time to capture everyone's beauty. So I have to narrow some people down and choose who to shoot with. (I shouldn't of sent some messages to them). Summer time is about to end and we can shoot about 10 more models before mid-aug in which I am probably going to memphis to decide where to go next. I am probably thinking of moving back to California during the Fall, I need to actually find a job that pays, can't keep doing everything for free, but who knows, I wish I was like Eric on Entourage and have it made by having a friend like Vince. Well, it's time to end this post. I'll update more later.

life is good,

New Photography: Taking Pictures

2009-06-10T08:16:00.000-04:00

I first started in digital with a rented SLR but I got my own after the Fall Garden series and then started taking better pictures with my fantastic plastic (50mm f/1.7). If I had some money, I would invest in some better lens like some good primes like the 85mm f/1.2 or a 135mm f/2 and shoot better pictures. It's a good thing I still do alot of experimenting with my pictures because I have not really adapted a style yet to take pictures, so every shoot I do is different. I guess I tend to "steal other photographers techniques" to learn from them. It is until I find something that is suited for me, then I'll adapt it to myself. In the meantime, take a look at a friend of mine who talks about photography.

Graduation

2009-05-20T15:15:00.000-04:00

I have been thinking of what I would be doing during this summer. Of course, I would still continue taking pictures. I got a new wide angle lens on my 50mm and it is awesome. I still think photography is a hobby for me and not something I would get into. I am an artist says so in my degree so I shouldn't think like a photographer and do what my instincts tell me because I like it the way it is. Thus I like to continue to expand in any range I can so I can get better at what I like to do. Til then, I will continue to post up new pictures. Thanks and check out our marketing group..

New Projects

2009-04-20T20:08:00.000-04:00

It's a start of a whole new year. I have several different projects in mind. What is it I want to start off with? I have been thinking about portrait shots and feel like I want to pursue it for a few months. I have also been working on a nice piece of work that took a few weeks to render. It is a mosaic picture of me and it consists of over 1500-2000 mini pictures that make up one big one. I guess I can say its the sum of the parts that is greater than the whole. Well, there is more to come and I will update this site with some new pictures soon as I get things rolling. Mosaic picture for view in link below.

Light Experimenting

2008-12-30T01:06:00.000-05:00

If you ever wanted to take pictures in the dark but didn't know how this is the article to read. The best way to learn is by playing with your camera and testing shots. You can learn about the shutter speed and aperture setting but getting your camera to have long exposures is the way to go on this. Most cameras can have the shutter speed open for up to 30 seconds. There is another setting on the camera and that is the BULB setting. You can get someone to hold the button down for as long as you like when you are on the BULB setting or you can get some help or find some remote that can let the shutter stay open. You do not want to be touching the camera as you are taking the shot so it doesn't move the camera.

The best way to capture the background is in a still life setting where nothing is moving except for you drawing. So you need a TRIPOD!! Get one if you don't have one. I will teach you more, but this is some basics. If you have any more questions, email us asking about light experimenting at contact@dusome.net.
