2015 has been an astonishing years for commercial projects; it was also a critical year to seek for a "new voice" in my photography work after a 17-years journey, and I could not be happier with the progress I had made so far.

Let's see what 2016 has to offer!

arcDéco | cinematography + photography wishes you a very Merry Christmas!

From work to play, I always have my Fotodiox Inc.​ EZ-Pro softboxes with me when it comes to the photography side of my creation.

When you see a thunderstorm approaching from a distance, don’t stop shooting until your softbox got blown over.

A year ago, right before Independence Day, I had decided to take a different approach on revamping my editorial photography style and techniques after working in the motion picture industry for a few years.

Thus this national holiday marks its anniversary of my new photo career; of course, what is a better way to celebrate this occasion than a wonderful photo shoot with the fun and talented Amaris!

Thank you so much for our wonderful team working on my first photo series shoot yesterday! Ashley's makeup work is amazing as always and Kelsey is a real trooper modeling from sunrise to sunset!

Our wonderful models for the Valentía Ifuerza Spa photo shoot!

A one-light composite made happen with the help of Lauren - the designer and owner of VI.

Valentía Ifuerza Spa products bring you an ethereal experience that you can enjoy at home.

The BMPCC Super 16 sensor was the look this spot called for while shooting under a harsh mid day sun put the camera's dynamic range to test.

Had a wonderful shoot with Valentia Ifuerza today! It was a pleasure to shoot with all of the talented models and photographers on set.

Went out for the first spring shoot this morning, and it was absolutely wonderful! This was a pretty tough spot to pose, but thanks to Lauren, I was able to get this exceptional shot right before we wrap a two hours shoot.

The 3rd featurettes that arcDéco had filmed for the Endless Whispers. Thank you for Michael and all of the crew that made this possible!

Not that often we get snow day here in the South, but for the third time in two weeks, that allows plenty of photos opportunities.

[designerex]

As the dawn of a snow storm appoaches, don't you wish summer is here?

Finally got to do a black on black shoot with Khadejeh, who is also a very talented photographer herself!

This passed Saturday was my 30th birthday, but it was also the day when my camera bag officially retirement. In last 17 years, we had been to some fantastic places, seen some amazing things and we had told some wonderful stories together through the creation of imageries. I just want to take a moment to reflect those memories. Thank you old friend. #tbt
