Yesterday's @takeover_sd meet up in sunset cliffs was a success!, a lot of people showed up with one common goal, to explore and create. It was only my second meet in San Diego but it was nice to see more familiar faces and to catch up with one another as you keep meeting new creatives along the way. We were split into a few groups, but we didn't manage to get to work with the others as we spread way too apart from each other during the day but nonetheless we found ourselves down in the shoreline trying to get around sea cliffs that were constantly being pounded by waves, so we had to stop and improvise. I also bought a new lens an hour before the meet, it's a sigma 17-35mm f2.8, it'd interesting, didn't cost too much but the work I was able to capture with it, it brought back my old love for the extreme wide angle. Still contemplating on keeping it, this photo was taken with it so what do you think? Here's a photo of some of the talent that was there! @stephaniamirandaa @r.e.vel @kwab.music @eleazar_salcido & @searoblivin. . . . #sandiego #models #naturallight #sdphotographer #pursuitofportraits #portraits_mf #creative_portraits #portraiture #bravogreatphoto #portraitmood #globe_people #portraitpage #portraitclub #justgoshoot #profile_vision #portraitcentral #aovportraits #portraitgames #rsa_portraits #vscoportrait #vscocam #vzcomood #makeportraits #arsenic #instagood #gramkilla #arsenicmagazine (at Sunset Cliffs Natural Park)

The other day I was shooting and scouting near Old Town and as I was leaving, I ran into a few people asking if I was here for the photo meet. Immediately I was interested as I was happy to be a part of something big in the community. When I went to the center if the meet I was astounded by how many creatives were at this meet, so many awesome people in one place, eager and ready to spend the day doing what they love, creating art. I had the chance to meet the people who ran this event #mjmeetup which was @ohmichellelaura & @dearstjaime, they were very welcoming to all the new people approaching the meet which, I suggest you give them a follow if you want to hear more of the meets and to check out their bomb work! Thank you guys for letting me be a part of something awesome! I met so many peoole that day, got so much work to post for you guys! Let me know what you think as I'm trying to ease back into color photography, I'd appreciate any feedback. Well to start off what work I got that day, here's a photo of @tyrahmajors #shotbymikespicer. || #sdmodel #pursuitofportraits #agameoftones #imonthehub #sdphotographer #portrait_mf #leagueoflenses #theportraitpr0ject #peoplescreatives #justgoshoot #exploretoshoot #majesticpeople #moodyports #exploremore #expofilm #visualoflife #agameofportraits #artofvisuals #portraitcentral #portraitpage #portraitmood #portraitcentral #moodygrams #gramkilla #earth_portraits (at Old Escondido Historic District)

You have to be patient when you're in the process of creating your reality. Rushing things makes you doubt yourself.

A bird sitting on a tree is never afraid of the branch breaking under her because her trust is not in the branch, but in her own wings. || What a crazy day it is today, waking up at 5am to go to work till 2, then at 4 head to the SD meetup to meet some new people and shoot, pickup/drop off film, drive to El Cajon then back home, cool and eat, nap, work again from midnight to 8am...sleep, repeat, is almost non existent today, any tips on staying awake without having to down an energy drink or coffee? In the meantime here's some studio work with @tini.cactus #shotbymikespicer, I never do the split photos anymore but what do you guys think? || #blackandwhite #lingerie #sandiego #model #sdmodel #sandiegophotographer #sdphotography #pursuitofportraits #portraitpage #portrait_mood #peoplescreatives #justgoshoot #moodyports #agameofportraits #portraitcentral #creativesontherise #artofvisuals #illgrammers #instagood #caligrammers #wethephotographers #blackandwhiteisworththefight #vsco #featuremeofh.

She's like a song I haven't heard in a decade, but still know all the words to. || some late work with @tmgarcia_ #shotbymikespicer. Been trying a bit more with color lately and I'm not sure how I feel about it, what do you guys think? . . . #sandiego #model #sdmodel #sandiegophotographer #sdphotography #lookslikefilm #bleachmyfilm #vsco #pursuitofportraits #portraitpage #lingerie #photoshoot #discoverportrait #portraitmood #featuremeofh #makeportraits #justgoshoot #portraitcollective #artofvisuals #createexploretakeover #streetdreamsmag #wethephotographers #arsenic #skynmagazine #fuse_magazine

She is a woman and all knows what she is made of, and that cannot be tamed. || long overdue shot of @arweeesa. (at Laguna Beach, California)

The best person in your life is the one who comes first in your mind after reading this sentence. || @tini.cactus #shotbymikespicer.

They say tattooed people have more self esteem. It only makes sense, you build your exterior up so much with beautiful art that has personal meaning to you. It's like you feel connected to yourself on another level. I remember the day I got my first tattoo, I was 15 and I got both of my shoulders done without telling my parents. Of course once I got home in California, immediately showed them and surprisingly they didn't freak, my mom said, "If this is what makes you happy, then I'm happy, just don't get anything not worth making you smile because you won't feel like yourself anymore, and don't get anything on your face or hands!

It is better to be alone than to be with someone who doesn't appreciate you or someone who makes you believe that loving you is hard. || @shannonclara92 wearing sunglasses by @Guess #shotbymikespicer. Definitely wanna do some more studio work, who's down?
