GOING OUTSIDE...

AS A PHOTOGRAPHER IT IS ALL WAYS GOOD WHEN YOU HAVE AN ASSIGNMENT TO DO...
BUT HAVING TO SHOOT A COVER SHOT FOR A MAGAZINE LIKE GO OUTSIDE , I DEFINITELY FELT SOME PRESSURE...
BUT BEING AN OUT DOOR PHOTOGRAPHER HELPED A LITTLE WHEN THEY ASKED FOR A SHOT DURING A SUNSET.
WE HIRED VANIA SIMONS AS OUR HAIR AND MAKE UP ARTIST AND JUST WAITED FOR THE RIGTH COLORS IN THE SKY...
I HAD NO PROBLEM WORKING WITH MAYA,HER SMILE WAS ALL WAYS THE SAME ON EVERY SINGLE SHOT...
I'M VERY PLEASED WITH THE RESULTS OF THE PHOTO SHOOT AND HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO BE CONTRIBUTING AGAIN WITH A MAGAZINE WITH SUCH GOOD REPUTATION LIKE GO OUTSIDE .

NEW ADS

SELLING PHOTOS FOR AD CAMPAIGNS IS USUALLY WHERE THE MONEY IS ...
BUT IT IS NOT ALWAYS THAT YOU GET PICTURES THAT ARE GOOD ENOUGH FOR THE ART DIRECTORS' STANDERS...
SO IT IS ALL WAYS GOOD TO SEE THOSE AD PRINTED IN THE MAGAZINES.
VIKING SURFBOARDS AND LOCAL MOTION ARE BOTH VERY GOOD CLIENTS OF MINE..
AND I HAD A LOT OF FUN WORKING WITH SEAN TUBBS AND FABIO NUNES THEY BOTH RIP HARD...

COVER SHOT ! ! !

YOU COULD BE THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHER IN THE WORLD ...
BUT I'M SURE THAT WHEN EVER YOU GET A COVER SHOT YOU WILL BE STOKED...
BLACK WATER IS A VERY UNIQUE MAGAZINE , GRATE DESIGN AND THEY HAVE AN EXCELLENT PHOTO SELECTION..
I WAS REALLY HAPPY TO SEE ONE OF MY SHOTS IN THE COVER OF THE FEBRUARY ISSUE ...
SPECIALLY BECAUSE BUFFALO KEAULANA WAS THE SURFER THEY CHOOSE THERE IS A LOT OF HISTORY AND SURFING BEHIND THAT MAN.

TUBE OF THE YEAR

I WAS IN TAHITI THIS YEAR DURING ONE OF THE BEST PADDLE IN DAYS .

THAT DAY I CAPTURED A VERY UNIQUE IMAGE , FROM THE JUDGE'S TOWER DURING THE TRIALS OF THE WCT IN TEAHUPO'O.

IT AS WHEN BRUNO SANTOS SCORED A PERFECT TEN POINT RIDE ...

WITH THAT FOOTAGE BRUNO SANTOS WAS AWARDED WITH "TUBE OF THE YEAR " BY FLUIR MAGAZINE.
THAT CLIP IT IS PART OF THE FILM "SEASON 2 "PRODUCED BY MY FRIEND PAULO TRACCO WITCH WAS ALSO AWARDED "BEST FILM OF THE YEAR " .
SURF VIDEOS ARE FUN TO WATCH , BUT IT TAKES A LOT OF HARD WORK TO MAKE IT.
THAT'S WHY I GAVE UP THE EDITING PART OF IT.
BUT I STILL ENJOY CAPTURING THE IMAGES.
AND IT IS A GREAT PLEASURE WHEN THOSE THINGS HAPPENS.
THIS IS THE LINK FOR THE TRAILER OF SEASON 2
