Al-Manzar (Senior Portrait)

It was hot, sticky and a hell of a day. This location has been one of my favorites and interesting ones. This mini shoot was done kind of an a hurry, since we were there to shoot Maricelis+ Al-manzar Trash the Dress shoot but I couldn’t go without taking advantage of that gorgeous location.

This place is called “La Salinas” it is a salt mine all the way in Bani, Dominican Republic. Very very interesting place.

Great session! De leon wanted a bit of everything on this shoot. On my side, I wanted to make emphasis on the soft side of her personality, have hight contrast photos and at the end, make her look her best!

Karina + Jose Manuel

The engagement session of Karina & Jose Manuel was a bit different from the norm. There were a couple ideas on what theme to use… To make the story short, we ended up having two different concepts in one shoot and still captured their adventurous and sweet side.

Gisselle + Jesse

Gisselle & Jesse are just pure adrenaline! That day the weather was not the typical sunny-NYC- Spring day. But at the end, the sun will have been out-shined by the energy of this lovely couple. This are some of their engagement photo session. Enjoy!

Maricelis + Al-Manzar “The Black Wedding”

Gustavo Urena — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 20:21:07 +0000

Most of the weddings I have shot have been very traditional—Bride with light colors, Groom very sharp and with a traditional two or three piece suit… You know! But this time it was all the opposite, with the exception of the sharp groom…

Here are some of the photos of the Black Wedding. Shot in La Zona Colonial, Santo Domingo and Las Salinas, Bani, Dominican Republic.

Gifts = Camera Time

Gustavo Urena — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 01:55:31 +0000

In a suffering economy —like the one we have today, is really hard to expend your hard-earned cash on things that you may not need. But if you are one of those that believe that moments should be recorded or are looking to get professional photos for future career moves then you need to keep on reading.

At the moment, I am updating my gears and my portfolio and I came out with a quick solution that will not break your bank or mine.

Let’s go back to the time where the economy was not based on money. Everything was about honest people “trading” goods or services—If you help me I will help you.
So this is the deal: Get me any gift from my Amazon WishList® and you will get “Camera Time.” Depending on the gift, you will received time for your shoot. Every gift has a comment explaining the amount of time it will give you. Prices for the gifts goes from $75 and up so even if you are on a budget you will get camera time for your shoot. All the gifts will give you at least two hours of camera time. The more expensive, more time you will received.

So rush for it. It is a great gift for a family portrait, head shoots, fashion shoot for your portfolio or any other type of celebration.

If you have any question just leave a comment

Hope to see you soon on your next shoot!
