My most recent shoot merits a blog post entirely on its own. An amazing shoot with Vanessa @sin_of_vanity and my dog Lucy in snow covered Mt. Lemmon. After heavy snow we decided to head up the mountain and see what we could create. The week prior was all about planning. A custom red coat with hood was made using velvet fabric and lots of patience. Our own version of red riding hood if you will. Much props to Vanessa on her vision and creating said wardrobe. My advice if you want to do any shoot in the snow, bring blankets and heating pads to keep everyone comfortable or else its gonna be along day. Let me know what you think about the photos. Until next time<br />

I personally underwent a lot of challenges that tested me and my art. A big change was moving from my modern home with large studio space to an 80 year old vintage house in a historic neighborhood. The way I photographed subjects in the second half of the year is a reflection of that move. Much more natural light work with warmer tones became complimentary with the location. In losing the large studio space, I gained an entire playground with hardwood floors and interesting possibilities. I'll let the photos do the talking. As always, thanks again to everyone who worked with me this year and made it all possible. Until next time<br />

We are currently seven months into 2016 and I've been shooting like crazy. Fast Forward to current date, the sexy style shoot remains a personal favorite for creating art and challenging myself. It's been a full year since I switched to full frame camera and I must say, it's been worth every penny. Looking back on my images I notice a pattern. The more I shoot and the longer I've been doing this. The hit rate for keepers during a shoot has gone up dramatically. This could be very well down to the much improved autofocus system. Also, more so down to I've been really focused on my compositions, posing, and emotions during the shoot. While fancy gear is always nice and makes getting better images easier, don't be a slave to it. Strive to create powerful images through your relationships with your subjects. That's the thing I wish someone told me earlier working with people. We're all different, have feedback, and can create something from nothing, that's pretty amazing. I challenge you to do the same, stop consuming so much, get out there and create. Until next time, here's the best of my latest works. Thank you<br />

<span style="text-align: left;">Oh how time flies, or so they say. 2015 is behind us and but a memory. As I look forward to 2016, I can't help but realize it's going to be an interesting year full of ups and downs. I say downs because I am anticipating some off time to recover my knee if things go as planned. 2015 was really my breakout year with my photography. Looking back at the images I realized there were SO many shoots this year alone. Being able to spend an entire year learning lighting in my personal studio was invaluable. A glance through the images reveals a few hints. I started going for a more polished look overall and went out of my comfort zone with concepts and posing models. As an artist, I'm very excited for what's in store this year. I feel confident in my abilities and the network I've begun to build. At this point in my journey, it's not about new cameras or lenses. It's all about making solid art and connections that touch people. I have the physical tools needed to achieve this, but it's the constant creativity that requires the most exhausting efforts. To understand this, you must put yourself in a position of creating art from nothing. A simple thought or vision is the basis for all concepts but execution is key. Without action, nothing happens. I'll strive to continue moving forward, search new places, and bring my visions to fruition for myself but also for others to love or hate. Here are my favorite images from 2015, Until next time.</span></div>

Lemmon is definitely one of my favorite places to shoot. It's no coincidence that I keep coming back for the different backdrops provided by the mountain. I felt like this whole shoot with Kali Faith deserved a dedicated blog post. The images are really quite expressive and full of emotion. This combination of beautiful landscapes, hard lighting, and expressive art is something I feel is quite powerful. During this past week for TFW I had many conversations with various artists. One of the topics often discussed was how to share your art. My side mostly hinged on fine art as physical art, and if you are going to share them online, do it properly. Share those images in a way that does justice to the art. Which brings me right here, because I always felt my blog was a special place I could share images. A place I could not only express in writing how I felt about the images, but how they were created on so forth. Ultimately, its my favorite place to display the best work that you can only see here. If you happen to read this, look at these images and let know how they made you feel. Until next time<br />

I say this because I've just really taken off with my latest camera. A new camera won't make you a better photographer, but once you've reach the limits of your existing body, it's a nice jump in performance. Since acquiring my Canon 6D I feel like I've really been able to push myself creatively and technically, considering the high performance of full frame sensors. This thing has allowed me to shoot natural light portraits in places that would have been much more difficult to achieve. One aspect you notice right away when switching to full frame, is the optical performance of your good glass. The view finder is much brighter and images really have incredible detail, color, and contrast when paired with quality optics. The dynamic range has to be my favorite feature. It has literally allowed me to shoot on location without flash, and still pull plenty of detail from the shadows. This is really really important for the way I shoot natural light. That in itself is worth it considering the results. A lot has been written about this camera so I won't bore you with spec and charts. It really is a great camera and ill let the images do the talking. Until next time<br />

There have been trips, events, paid gigs, and lots of personal art created. Saying it's been a productive summer would be a spot on assesment. Back in Late April, I picked up my beloved Canon 6D camera (which my next post will be all about, including full review) and have been using it non stop. My first major shoot to test out my new camera? A highly planned Vintage Fashion shoot 100+ miles away in Bisbee, Arizona. Planning for this shoot began the previous year while visiting with my girlfriend Vanessa. It was at that time I desperately wanted to come back, armed with a full team of talented individuals. The location of choice was the Gym Club Suites, "rainbow's end" room. It's a two story suite located right in downtown Bisbee, equipped with a private deck lookout. I picked this room for the large size, location, and old charm it would bring to the shoot. I can't even begin to stress how difficult it can be to create the concept, coordinate, plan, and execute gathering 8 people together for a shoot. Including transportation, meals, wardrobe, MUAH, and keeping morale high. The concept consisted of two days of actual shooting with different looks for each day. First day was all about the roaring 20s-40s. Second day consisted of a hybrid 50-60s look. I say those decades loosely because even though we sourced, scoured, and purchased everything we could find from those eras, not everything was going to match perfectly. After arriving and setting up shop in the suite, it was time to start beautifying everyone with hair and make up. I can't even begin to express my gratitude for my girlfriend Vanessa. This amazing woman did ALL the hair and make up for every model involved in the shoot, including herself, so very impressive. While the glam was happening, I took that time to setup my lighting and go over the storyboards I created beforehand. Once the team was all ready, the sun had started to set, and we were in business. The beginning of the first look was mostly done on the private deck, with various group shots and individuals being taken. I really liked shooting here due to the large open space, accessible electrical outlets (for strobe flashes), and scenic panoramic view over downtown Bisbee. The second location proved to be a bit more difficult considering the run and gun nature we were going for. Downtown Bisbee at night is quite a dark dramatic place so multiple speedlite flashes mounted on a bracket with stand were needed. Considering our large group with full blown outfits and flashes going off, we created quite the buzz for bystanders. Multiple people complimented the group, including two police officers asking what were doing. After a long first day of preparing and shooting it was time to wind down. While relaxing the group got the idea to go ghost hunting around town. The Copper Queen at night time is definitely an interesting place to visit. If you hang out by the spiral stair case on the east side of the hotel. They say you can smell the perfume of a prostitute who hung herself in the adjacent room, crazy right? The second day of shooting was a much hotter and quicker affair but still very productive regardless. The high temps beating down on everyone really made it difficult to withstand direct sunlight for too long. Hiding under shadow canopies and behind old buildings was the name of the game. The first look was shot right outside Bisbee, next to the huge open pit mine. This area is really cool because of all the colorful rocks surrounding everything. Further down the road is a very old crumbling building and vintage shell gas station. Luckily for us there was a classic car parked next to the non functional gas pumps. It turned out to be a great prop for one of my favorite photos from the trip. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better team to help me create this vision. It really was a huge learning experience that I will never forget. Its not often such plans come together the way they did, but I plan on making it happen more often, for the sake of art! A HUGE thank you to everyone involved in any capacity, I love you all so much. You all made this happen. Until next time<br />

As stated in my last entry, this post will be all about the fantasy shoot at Casa Grande Domes I did at the end of March. I was originally contacted about this particular project last year, it was an interesting offer but the client wasn't quite fully prepared just yet. After plenty of conversations, ideas sent back and forth, and planning we set a date and time. Upon arriving at Casa Grande Domes and signing a waiver with the owner, I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. The location is in the middle of nowhere, hot, littered with safety hazards, and carries an odd ambiance. Normally these wouldn't be ideal conditions, but when it comes to paid work and creating something interesting, anything goes. The overall theme and idea was created by Aimy Escoto and I helped bring the vision to life with technical, creative photo experience. We talked at length about the style and feel that would be present at each of the 3 different dome sets. At the end of the day we walked away with images that we were both pleased with on many levels. Overall it was a great experience and a big thank you to Aimy for allowing me to help create these. Until next time</div>

Tons of shooting, planning, and physical art taking place. At the end of March I was hired to help bring to life a vision of an artist. The concept was a fantasy tea party held at the Casa Grand Domes. My next blog post will be entirely dedicated to that shoot. As for the project, I'm always up for a challenge and I figured this would be a perfect chance to test out a camera I had my eye on, the Canon 5D Mark III. My friend Matt (@cassiwolf) was kind enough to let me borrow his 5D3 and the Canon 16-35mm F/2.8L II lens. A beastly combo to say the least, coupled with my 50mm F/1.8 and 70-200mm F/4L, I was in photo dream land. Aside from the domes project, I was able to do a handful of shoots with the 5D3. After a week of using it, I was definitely impressed with the overall performance across the board. Crazy fast autofocus? Yup, Insanely high ISO performance? Got it, Crisp image detail beyond 300% zoom? Definitely. All of that testing was great because it opened up my eyes and allowed me to push myself. I had been shooing with my trusty Canon T2i for over 3 years now, way more than your average rebel user, it's safe to say I reached the limit of that setup. Which brings me to my next bit of info, I am now rocking a Canon 6D and a future post will all be about that. In April, I had my very first Art Show/Gallery. It was a great turn out with 40+ people and I sold 11 pieces of art, success! With more shoots, comes more planning and concept creating. This actually happens to be one of the hardest parts of being an artist, how to consistently stay creatively fresh. Currently, I am working on multiple projects and will be showing the images I feel are the best from those in future posts. At the end of the month will be a big project with multiple models I had in mind for some time now, a Vintage Fashion Shoot in Bisbee, AZ. Until next time, here's what I have been doing the last three months. Enjoy<br>

So, I'm bringing back a post entirely about my most recent time spent in the City of Angels. Last month I had the opportunity to travel and visit Southern California once again. I would head out with my beautiful girlfriend with the intention of relaxing, and shooting various spots in Los Angeles. Stationed in the northern valley of Thousand Oaks, we were close to interesting spots that we decided to visit. First up would be downtown area, more specifically, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Multiple large buildings make up the museum with various exhibits from japanese art to german films. Saturday involved driving out to beautiful Santa Barbara for some sight seeing, spirited driving, seafood for lunch, and the planned beach shoot. There were certainly some aspects of shooting on the beach I was a bit unprepared for but it was still a really good experience. Our next day in town was spent in the Malibu and Santa Monica area. We attended The Getty Villa museum which was absolutely amazing. There were incredible works of art from all mediums on display. The chiseled and carved marble statues stood out the most to me, along with all the marble sarcophagi. This place is a must see for anyone who appreciates art, period. Santa Monica is always an interesting place because of how vibrant the area is. Tons of people, shops, and bright lights can distract the first time visitor. As the sun went down that evening, I couldn't help but think how fortunate I am to be able to travel, and make art. Overall I had an amazing time even though I was not able to shoot some badass Mazda RX-7s like I had planned. Until next time<br />

As I write this, 2014 is but a memory. I like to put out a post every year to show what my favorites images from the year are. <a href="http://ricardochao.blogspot.com/2013/12/full-circle.html" target="_blank">Here</a> is a link to last year's review. 2014 was really good to me in terms of my photography. The first half of the year was filled with portraits, mostly shot on location. A strong first three months of understanding how to use off camera flash was the foundation for the work I am currently producing. Aside from shooting multiple portrait sessions, I shot a lot of soccer games and I traveled quite a bit in 2014. Los Angeles, Sedona, Mexico, Bisbee, Phoenix, Mt. Graham, and San Diego were some of places photography took me. During July I moved into a new home with a large living space I would strictly use as a studio. This has definitely helped me simply by having a dedicated work space. The ability to have the backdrops, all the lights, and equipment on stand by gives you a solid platform to experiment. I think the work I've been putting out since that time has reflected my dedication to constant learning and progression. As the year closed out I couldn't help but notice something interesting. Having your own studio raises certain challenges when t comes to your work. For one,just because you have a studio doesn't mean you're going to get amazing photos. The images are only going to be as creative as you are. Why? This is due to the natural of total control. In the hands of an individual with an imagination, total control is liberating, refreshing, and exciting. On the other side, it can be completely crippling if it overwhelms you. So much control to someone who is used to being a reactive shooter, takes some getting used to. With that being said, I plan on mixing things up, continually push myself, and shoot on location more so all my photos don't look the same. Overall, 2014 was amazing and I look forward to what 2015 has to offer so I can be all over that shit. Until next time</div>

Considering I had been shooting on white seamless for a bit, it was nice to not only switch it up, but give me more flexibility. There is simpy something about shooting on a dark background that when used properly, can highlight your subject very nicely. The other side of that flexibility is being able to illuminate the background in a subtle manner. When shooting on white paper, light bounces EVERYWHERE unless it's not falling on the background. This can be troubling if you're going for a low key look in a tight space. Unless you're new to light and its properties, black absorbs light to an extent and this allows for some creative uses. I've actually shot on it quite a bit since acquiring and I must say I enjoy it thoroughly. My biggest observation came in the form of the actual thickness of the paper. The pure white paper from savage is very rigid and stuff compared to the black seamless. The black seamless is more flexible and seems to be softer like construction paper, this allows the paper to flex during setup. This is an issue when it comes to defects in the paper showing up behind the subject, you are shooting on seamless paper for a clean look after all. Overall, I'm really impressed with the versatility shooting on this background. The option to go for a super dark dramatic look with a deep black background, or throw some light on it for a light grey color, its all up to you. Let me know what you think of the following images, until next time<br />

The plan was simple: attend the event, take a lot of pictures, and enjoy southern California. In that aspect, it was mission accomplished. Upon arriving/leaving the event, I noticed myself and my good friend Eric couldn't help but feel wanting a bit more. After a long discussion in the clouds, it became apparent we were no longer content with simply attending the event as a spectator. We wanna be in the event, from staging the cars, to getting on the track with the best of them. It will certainly require a large amount of work but we have high hopes of bringing our rotaries in 2015. After SevenStock, we headed into the City of Angels to stay at our hotel in Redondo Beach. Winding down after a long day 17 stories in the sky with a killer view was the agenda. Sunday would bring our next adventure, San Diego or more accurately, Coronado Island. Traffic greeted us during our travels down the I-5, but not to be outdone, I took PCH for a scenic detour route. Driving over the bridge into Coronado is an experience in itself. How often do you get to drive your car over the pacific ocean onto an island? Pretty cool stuff. Our hotel that night would be none other than the Hotel Del Coronado, a vintage property with an amazing view and history. The architecture and layout are really cool, add to the fact its a fairly exclusive island, and you can see why people come here. My last photographic act before hitting the road back to the Tucson desert was to shoot the sunrise over San Diego. I've stated before that traveling is very important as an artist. The ability to leave your home, venture into the unknown (or well known), and experience the multiple differences associated with a place you don't live at is inspiring. Even if the place you visit isn't better or you don't like it as much, you'll gain an appreciation of where you do live. Travel often as you can and grow as a result. Until next time<br />

This is a post I've been wanting to do for a while now. I'm glad the processed film does justice to the models who worked with me for these two rolls of film. Yes that's correct, all the photos in this post were shot with only two rolls of film. There was actually quite a bit of flopping back and forth between the films because I have two film cameras. The first film I used was Ilford Delta 100. It's a really clean b&w with little grain due to being ASA (ISO) 100. I was a big fan of the way this film rendered skin tones and highlights. The next roll used was Kodak T-MAX 400. This film has a bit more grain due to being ASA 400, especially in the midtones. I did like how this film looked when slightly underexposed. The contrast and detail in the shadows was really nice when shot this way. One of the best parts about shooting film is how attached you are to the whole process. Picking a desired film for a certain look, making the magic with your own hands, and the excitement when viewing your images for the first time. Overall, I had a fun time testing out and shooting these rolls. Until next time<br />

Due to having the space, I decided to pick up a large backdrop setup including stands and seamless paper. The stands and cross bar were purchased on Amazon relatively inexpensive on sale for $60. I knew I wanted a white seamless paper for my first backdrop due to its versatility. After doing some research I opted for the Savage Pure White Seamless Paper. Priced at $65 from Amazon it was a good deal considering its huge 107"x36' dimensions. One thing I will say upon arrival, this thing is massive and will likely require some help setting this bad boy up. Once you slip the roll onto the crossbar, simply adjust the stands to your desired height. My main purpose for buying such a large backdrop came down to a few reasons. I have a lot of space, high ceilings, and enjoy shooting full length portraits with the ability to pull back the perspective a bit. Viewing work from shooters such as Gregorio, Van Styles, Ohrangutang, Max Thompson, and Larsen Sotelo has encouraged me to push my own limits and comfort zone to get different photos. While a white backdrop may seem boring and plain to some, with various lighting methods and beautiful people to work with, sometimes thats all you need. Overall I'm very satisfied with my decision to invest in such a setup. The quality of the savage seamless paper is excellent and arrived in a timely manner. At this point I'm simply enjoying shooting on it and exploring the possibilities such a blank canvas allows. Until next time<br />

It is an ultra wide zoom lens that gives an interesting perspective. Normally these types of specialty lens are for specialty purposes, they tend to excel in a particular area and that's about it. That's possibly why I was so surprised at the versatility of such a lens in real world shooting. I say this with a grain of salt because it's truly not a spectacular piece that deserves universal praise like say the Canon 85mm F/1.2L. The main thing about this lens is fun factor, it's just a blast to use. The ability to get close to subjects while still keeping them in the frame is unique. The level of distortion can be a bit too much at 10mm when standing directly in front of something/someone. Not particularly ideal for portraits, but that doesn't mean it can't be done. The distortion can also be fixed in post process with a lens correction in Photoshop so it's not entirely unusable. Over the course of my time with the lens I shot the following: portraits, landscape, astrophotography, and even BTS video. That's very impressive for a "speciality" lens. Similar to most lens, it performs it's best when stopped down to about F/8. Autofocus was surprisingly quick, although when the entire frame is in focus, that helps. There was a few times when I was able to get close enough to a subject at 10mm, while being able to blur the background slightly at F/4. One interesting shot I was able to get was a long exposure portrait of a model in five poses in front of a sunset. Hillary performed a pose, a flash from the strobe would light her, and onto the next pose, she did this five times. The flash was fired at each pose to freeze and burn that into the image. It was a pretty trick shot to nail but after some trial and error we came away with one we both liked. Overall, I had a great time using the Sigma 10-20mm F4-5.6 lens. I would definitely recommend it to anyone lookin for something unique as a reasonable price. Until next time</span><br />

What a year it has been so far, with so many changes and things learned. I enjoy these posts because it allows me to go back and see what I've accomplished so far this year. I always knew 2014 would be different, but never could have imagined the things in store. At this point I am very confident with the work I am putting out. I'm beyond excited for every shoot and can't wait to carefully comb through the results for the best photos. The beginning of the year started strong and the shooting hasn't stopped. Last month I moved into a new house with a large living room I've been using as a studio. I still have a lot to learn when it comes to the various lighting methods you can do. This whole last year I have been practicing using my strobes/speedlites and learning how to shape/manipulate light. I am currently working on a few projects including: Sexy Socks, Film Project, and Reflection Project. Sexy Socks has been a work I progress for a bit now but currently adding new entries. Film Project and Reflection Projeft are new ideas and happen to be coming along nicely. Shooting often and learning from certain mistakes has really helped me so far. I recently acquired a backdrop setup and a massive 107" x 12 yards pure white seamless paper from Savage. A full set of those images will be on my next post. While this year is more than half way done I can only be excited for what is to come. Until next time<br />

There are a lot of variables and things to consider. Portraits in particular pose a variety of hurdles to overcome. What is the concept? Location? Natural light? Strobes/Speedlites? Do you have the right lens for what you're shooting? How comfortable is your subject with you? How comfortable is the subject with themselves? Some of these things we can't control but some we can. Multiple aspects often forgotten in portrait photography is preparation and simply understanding your gear. Whatever the type of shooting you're doing it's really important and cannot be understated. I bring this topic up because a cousin of mine who happens to be a photographer in California, had an issue. This is how it went: she was hired to take family portraits at the family's home. The session went ahead but she had an issue getting the lighting to look how she wanted. Why? You may ask, because she was not prepared and does not quite understand her gear just yet. Bringing only a 50mm lens and one speedlite flash unit to the session seriously limited her options. This is paramount because there will almost always be something you can't control. In this case, the rest of the woman's family was present and decided they wanted to get in the photo also. While not common practice, are you really going to deny your paying customer? This became an issue because of how tight the 50mm lens can be on a crop sensor body (about 75-80mm). While a perfect focal length for single subjects, doesn't work very well for a group photo in a tight living room. A wider lens like the 18-55 or 24-70 would have been a better choice. I mentioned the one speedlite earlier because the problem with the lighting was when the camera was turned vertical. Having the flash unit mounted on the camera's hot shoe created uneven unflattering lighting to the right side of the face (that's the way she turns the camera for portrait orientation). A solution would have been to move flash off camera and use some sort of light modifier like an umbrella (which she has), softbox, or bounce off the wall. In a situation like this it's hard to know exactly what to do. If the client truly isn't happy with the end product you could offer to reshoot the session and plan accordingly. It's really up to you at that point, but try not to get there. We all make mistakes, this is part of the learning process. It's when we do not learn from these mistakes and continually repeat them. That is when problems arises and your art is affected. The easiest way to overcome such issues is a lot of trial and error. Practicing on a consistent basis helps and looking for ways to improve on your skills. The photos in this post were taken recently in the studio and on location. The more and more I do this, the better I feel about my work and the results. As I said in a previous post, if there isn't any good light where you want to shoot, bring that shit with you, do not be defeated. Until next time<br />

I admire and follow a lot of photographers from around the world. Incredible images that draw you in upon viewing them. I thought to myself, "I love looking at the work of all these talented people, but which ones are local? Which ones reside and do the majority of their work in the same city as myself?" I decided to come up with a list. I felt simply creating the list wouldn't be doing justice to these shooters. I wanted to give a few examples and share what they shoot. So with that being said I did leave myself off the lift for various reasons. Mostly, I still have a ALOT to learn. Thanks for stopping by, until next time<br />

When I first started out I pretty much only shot natural light because it's cheap and convenient. My first step in off camera lighting was in the form of two Photoflex Starflash 650w strobes. Up next was four Speedlite flash units. After plenty of trial and error (about a year) I can finally say, I am beginning to fully wrap my head around flash photography. There is something special about being able to control all lighting aspects of the background and subject. Coming from a style where you're constantly on the fly to changing conditions, this was a huge departure. I used to think, "well this is an awesome place to shoot, guess I'll have to come back when the lighting is good."<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Now I say fuck that, if there is no good light, bring it with you. This allows you to vary the style in which to capture the subject. There are many ways to use flash in that sense and I happen to like dark dramatic images. I </span>think<span style="font-family: inherit;"> a balance of hard light (no modifier or diffused light) and soft light (diffused or modified) is a good balance. </span>The<span style="font-family: inherit;"> hard light creates drama while the softer side is for </span>flattering certain features (face mostly). <span style="font-family: inherit;">There is something special about a killer shadow placed nicely that transitions into a creamy highlight. When it comes to using strobes, speedlites, modifiers, and overall manipulation of light. There is no right or wrong way to do it. Add or remove light to personal taste, do what looks good to you. This set of photos was taken in Tucson, AZ in an area called Tanuri hills. The mountain range visible is the Santa Catalinas. Overall it was a great shoot with Vanessa, like always, and I think the images do well to illustrate how far I've come since I first started using off camera lighting. Until next time.</span><br />

I had never been there before so naturally I wanted to photograph and document my travels. This particular area of Arizona is really old and on the way to Bisbee you pass through Tombstone, Arizona. The town famous for the gun fight at the OK Corral. Cowboys and boots run this town. It's all a reminder that things move at a slower pace out here. Considering this was a day trip it all happened quickly and left me feeling exhausted yet happy with the journey. Bisbee is full of hills so it makes driving really fun, but walking for an extended time will have your legs burning. Spending the day checking out everything and exploring makes me want to go back to shoot portraits. Overall I had a lot of fun and now have some future shoots to plan. Until next time<br />

A product that forces you to rethink, analyze, and adapt to its presence. The all new Photoflex 72 inch umbrella is exactly that. Upon arrival I knew it was going to be an absolute treat to use. Open the nice carrying case provided and you realize how massive this thing is going to be. Initial impressions are fantastic build quality like all Photoflex products. There were a few reasons I choose this particular light modifier and I'll share them with you. Price: At $60 dollars directly from Amazon, this is one hell of a deal when compared to similar modifiers. Ease of use: It's an umbrella, just unlatch the lock and pull out for very easy setup. Size: At 72 inches this umbrella is simply massive, only the 7 foot octodome triumphs in this department (it also costs $500, ouch!). Quality of light: Strobes or Speedlites, it doesn't matter, this massive modifier showers your subject in ultra soft even light. If you are not familiar with light modifiers, there is a simple rule. The larger the light source, and the closer you place it to the subject, the softer the light will be. When photographers refer to soft light, it's not actually the light itself that is soft, it is the shadows. The transition between highlight and shadow is very gradual and falls off nicely, it's quite flattering for your subject. Often in the world of photography, items can be so expensive and without proper usage/knowledge/experience/, can yield mediocre results at best. The Photoflex 72 inch umbrella is most certainly not one of those, it delivers the goods in a very simple way. Until next time</span><br />

Our mission was simple, attend and support my sister Kristina. My sister recently joined a hip hop dance studio here in Tucson. Considering she's pretty damn awesome at what she does, it was no surprise she immediately impressed. Those skills earned her a call up to the senior group, which would be competing against various groups at "World of Dance" in the city of angels. Upon arrival to the Los Angeles Convention Center it was painfully obvious this is a huge event. Parking was at a premium and the line to get in for a seat stretched nearly two blocks down the road. After slyly slipping our way into line (otherwise known as cutting) we made it inside to get a good seat. Up first would be the youth division, but don't let their age fool you, these kids can move. I sat up, walked around, and continued to shoot the event. As time went on I needed a break, wandering outside the convention center immediately sparked my interest in all the people. Needless to say, I took quite a few street photos. One drink of tequila at a local bar and I was back at the event, just in time for the adult division. While I am not a great dancer by any means, I can truly respect what the competitors were capable of, very impressive to say the least. All the groups had performed and it was time for the awards. My sister's group "The Drop Fam" did well on their second attempt, claiming 7th place overall. I can't begin to explain how proud I am of my sister. She got up in front of thousands of people and didn't miss a beat. Performing to such a standard under press takes big lady balls, mad props. The next day was spent relaxing with family at the beach, and lots of don. Overall, it was a great time and I can't wait to get back to my second home. The city of angles shines bright with opportunity. Until next time<br />

This time around, I recently purchased the all new Photoflex 72 inch white umbrella. This won't be a review of that certain product, but I am currently working on that. Quite a bit has changed since that day on Mt. Lemmon and I couldn't be happier about it. Compared to September 2013, I have completely (for the most part) changed my approach to outdoor portraits. I used to wait for a cloudy day, shoot in the shadows, and purposely overexposed backgrounds for the sake of my subject being properly exposed. Now if there isn't any good light where I want to shoot, I bring it with me. Bringing light with you invariable has certain consequences like battery power, cables, stands, lights, and modifiers. While all of that gear may seem excessive, the results clearly speak for themselves. This time around the location would be a semi lit but overall dark parking garage. This time the story follows <a href="http://ricardochao.blogspot.com/2013/09/to-be-continued.html" target="_blank">Vol. 1</a>, Lolita is being taken out for the night after a day of swimming. She always gets what she wants, and has set her sights on the attention of a certain male. I pretty much never get involved in the modeling side of things because I'm usually the one shooting. This was a fun departure from that, being on both sides of the lens, similar to back in my excessive skateboarding days. Constantly filming, being filmed, and editing, it's all good fun. As I've stated in the past, working with other creatives is always such a good time. I think the end product justifies the effort put in by both parties. Overall it was great shoot and I was happy with the whole experience. Until next time<br />

Mexico is the real deal. I had the opportunity to head down south to Puero Penasco, Sonora Mexico. Otherwise know as "Rocky Point". Upon crossing the border it's painfully obvious you are entering a third world country. Small shacks with wooden windows and tin roofs pose as houses. Most of the streets are dirt and trash is everywhere. The locals only need one look at my ass to realize I am clearly not from around here. It doesn't matter really, I am not one for hiding or running, not when street photos are on the line. After reaching our destination and checking into the hotel, it was time for dinner. After munching on delicious fish and shrimp tacos it was time to shoot the sunset over the ocean. I had traveled down with my friend Jack and he was ready to show me his property near the ocean. After driving well north of the main area of Rocky Point we arrived. Being so far out in the middle of nowhere truly has it's benefits yet drawbacks at the same time. No electricity, running water, or help when needed. The time of day meant it was low tide, the ocean had receded far out to bare the soft squishy silt. I decided I wanted to get in the water and experience this silt for myself. After what seemed like forever, I finally arrived at the water. It was warm, inviting, and most of all, soothing. I reveled in the lack of noise pollution and burned one down with the birds. Considering the last time I had been to Rocky Point was ten years ago, a lot has changed, and so have I, but some things stay the same. Talking with locals provided information revealing truly how many cartel members there are. Some things stay the same indeed. Overall I had a great time, took a lot of photos, experienced new things, and most importantly, made it back safely. Until next time<br />
