View On Black and Large is a MUST (!)

I present to You my first prom photoshoot!!!

Naaaah, just kiddin' ;) I don't do stuff like this but it was fun though. My business partner, Filip, asked me to help him suprise his girlfriend. As I love to shoot, especially a young beautiful woman, plus I like doing something in a good cause, I couldn't agree more!

So while Sara was preparing for her prom, I was preparing our new studio which is a totally mess right now. She had no idea about the photoshoot and was pretty shocked when she realized what's going on :)

Such a shame we had only 15minutes to nail it down but you will surely see her a few more times in the nearest future.

I always wanted to shoot people that are involved in hip hop community and finally I had the opportunity. This is my friend Daniel who I have known since elementary school. We were sitting on the same bench in the same class, which is funny to remember after all these years. It's nice to renew acquaintance with somebody :)

Lately I had lack of time to release my creativity but finally I found a minute or two to shoot something.

This is my friend Conrad and this is another shot from our photoshoot in studio.

What's important and what I need to remember is to NEVER do a photoshoot without an assistant any more. It's like... Your brain can focus only on your ideas, You don't need to worry about gear, logistics and so on. Once more, a BIG thanks to my fellow Tomek :)

After our shoot in studio we decided to grab another few frames on location. Specially for this occasion we woke up at 6 a.m and headed to the place where we were supposed to start shooting but unfortunately we realized that the place was razed to the ground... Same thing with the next one... We had no more time since sun started to rise really fast so without a second thought I grabed my camera and started shooting just straight into the light.

Oh, and btw, we literally almost died on this bridge... It's all wooden and old with BIG gaps between timbers. Moreover, we didn't check timetable so had no idea about any trains that could just knock us off. Oh and did I mention it's like 100 feet high? :) But it was worth it!

Tell me what You think and stay tuned to the next frames!
