I am collaborating with another photographer and planning a workshop in Austin, Texas sometime in March during a weekend. If interested, please email me at mark@marksacrophotography for further details.
2008 was a great year of transition into my work and business. I was able to find a studio, landed more covers and spreads, and improve and embellish on my craft and art. January hits my two year mark into this profession and I'm am extremely thankful for everyone that made it possible and still going.
2009 already looks promising. My goals thus far are to purchase a new camera body, travel overseas for work, and land some huge campaigns. Prepare for the best, and never expect the worst.
Thank you to all my readers and fans as well. Let me know if there is anything that I should post more in my blogs. Feedback again is greatly appreciated.
I was testing a lighting concept using only a single light source. These portraits are raw and unedited. No makeup or hair were done to these new faces from Elite LA modeling agency. You can say they arrived "as is."

Yesterday, I shot for one of the makeup students for her final project from All About Face Academy located in Downtown Los Angeles. This is one of the first time I actually tested out shooting this close of an angle to a model's face using my macro lense.

As a photographer, it's important to understand the concepts and processes of hair and makeup. Last week, I was able to experience this under the instruction of one of my favorite makeup artists: Staci Nguyen...
I never watched a single episode of this HBO series until last night... and ended up watching the entire first season in one setting. The joys of "on demand"... a sinful treat. The style of cinematography and witty lyrics of Flight of the Conchords definitely is an inspiration to some concepts I want to play with in my future shoots. Regardless, watch the series if you haven't already... it's funny as hell.
