Since we have quite a bit of wedding photographers who end up reading our blog (as well as potential brides and grooms) I figured I'd write a little post here as a reminder to those togs looking for creative ideas. I talk about my creative flash techniques used over on www.flashflavor.com often enough, so if you want to know how we do what we do, please go check this site out. Comment, provide feedback, ideas, etc. We all learn from sharing, so let us know whats on your mind.

Recently, I shot Tracey & Brent's wedding here at the Royal in Playa del Carmen. On the beach, we have little or NO way to light our subjects, therefor we need to make do with what we have in these low light circumstances. At the end of the day, its all about embracing the ambien, using fast lenses, and adding a subtle light source!

Find out how we balance low ambient light quality with your flash over on Flashflavor.

Today we got news of a recent publication featuring Sol! This edition is one of WPPI's first digital publications in Spanish. Some of our brides may ask (what the heck is WPPI and why do I care). Well, WPPI is an acronym that stands for Wedding and Portrait Photographers International. Each year, they host a trade show in Las Vegas with over 12,000 attendants. It is one of the largest photographer organizations out there.

They are now reaching out to Spanish speaking Latino Photographers by publishing a newsletter in Espanol. They are featuring industry leading photographers who continue to set the bar and lead the way in their creative field.

I'd like to congratulate Sol for being asked to participate in this first edition WPPI en Espanol! Click HERE to read the article!

My photoshop bud Dave Cross (the photoshop guy) interviewed me on his blog this week. Photoshop has played an integral part in our studio development and we would like to seriously thank the experts at Photoshop User, Kelby Online Training and Lightroom Killer Tips and Layers Magazine.
