welikewelove Fashion Editorial

Eydis — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 01:16:21 +0000

The inspiration for this editorial was Androgyny – Grace Jones and David Bowie came to mind for sure and I think we pulled it off. I wore my Grace Jones shirt that day + played some great 70s-80s music to really get in the mood. The clothes, in my book are HOT..I love the black on black textures along with these kick ass shoes. Must go shopping now….
Special thanks to my buddy Raff at JNBY, along with the designers/stores that helped make this editorial happen. And of course to the team - Gracias!

These two last images didn’t make it in magazine so I thought I would share them as well.

September Kids Photo Special!

Eydis — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 23:04:51 +0000

In the past year I started taking photographs of kids, something that I never had dreamt I would do, but actually really enjoy. The response to those images has been wonderful – who doesn’t love young children’s beautiful faces and their true uninhibited expressions. I for one find them priceless!

Now you have the opportunity to have your Child, your Grand Child, Nephew or Niece photographed in this same fashion. It’s not your average photo, in fact it requires a complicated lighting setup that you wont find in the “normal” baby photo studios. They truly have a life like feel..

So for the month of September I am offering a Kids Photo Special..

Please e-mail me for full details at info@studio80s.com Book before the 10th of Sept and get extra retouched 8×10 for free.

I look forward to meet new little faces

All the best,

Eydis

Didn’t even know it!

I used to shop at Calumet Photographic when I lived in NY but now I just receive their mailing list every week. What I like about their mailing list is that they have great product information and features like the Photographers Spotlight and Photo of the Week
Photo of the Week started in October of 2006, but I didn’t catch on until Jan of 2007 when I sent in my first image and it got selected! Since then I have submitted 8 images all together, 3 making the cut. However I just stumbled up on my submission from last year…and not only did the image get chosen as the Photo of the Week, but was also feature on their blog a few weeks later…
and I didn’t even know it!
What I didn’t realize is that they have a UK site, and for some reason this last image ended up there….So now it’s 4 out of 8…not bad!

Compassionate Eye Foundation Photo-Shoot

Eydis — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 18:53:48 +0000

Here’s a sampling of the work I for did for Compassionate Eye Foundation
Stylist Joanna Kulpa and fabulous kids… all for a great cause

Is there a young child in your family?

Eydis — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 00:05:47 +0000

Compassionate Eye Foundation has been teaming up with photographers and creative people since 2005 in creating images that are sold via Getty Images with the proceeds going to CEF. This year I am proud to have the opportunity to team up with them. *(please see below)

For my project I chose to photograph kids, which should be fun and challenging at the same time. I have had a wonderful experience with photographing kids in the recent past, capturing their essence, their innocence and spontaneity. See images of kids below and on my website

In order for me to pull this photo-shoot off, I’m going to need help, and that’s where you come into play. I need kids to participate. …..young little models, ranging from ages of 1 to 6 who like to have their picture taken. Any Ethnicity - Variety is great!

Photo-shoot will take place on Saturday July 24th. Each child for about 30-45min.

If you and your child are interested in donating your time to this great cause contact me directly at: eydis@studio80s.com

I had the pleasure of photographing Alasdair again last month, previously in my studio last fall at the tender age of 8.5 months. This time he brought along a friend, Zion, who is just as adorable. I’ll let the images speak for themselves. These images are pretty much straight out of the camera..no trickery yet!

See two of my favourites at my website – where young Alisdair has two images from each session with a very similar expression and pose – amazing luck on my part….
