phoenix wedding photographer | life. camera. actions.

April 5th, 2010 , Posted in high school seniors, promotion

This week I’m going to highlight a great new action set I stumbled upon at WPPI. I happened to see this booth for BRAND NEW actions called Life. Camera. Actions. They were officially launched at WPPI, so they may be new to you other photogs out there. I checked them out and, Brett the inventor, showed me a tutorial of the actions in action. Haha. Sorry, I know I’m lame, but I totally laugh at my own sad jokes. Moving on….I really liked them and thought they fit the look of my post-processing. Then later that night, I ran into Brett again at a small gathering for Photog Shootout alumni. So I chatted with him a bit more. Turns out he’s a pretty cool guy! And his actions are just as cool too. He’s a photographer as well, so he knows what he’s doing!

So I thought I’d show him some love and share them with you today. Here are some before and afters of the actions. You can check them out yourself at the Life. Camera. Actions. website. Check them out, I bet you’ll love them like I do!

There are two sets of actions that you can purchase, Vintage Touch actions and the Texture Pack. I’m specifically only showing you the texture actions from both sets of actions. I wanted to try a grungier look for some mock senior session photos I shot recently at a photog get together.

*****EDIT!   Brett saw the post and was so excited he is offering you a discount! It is for 20% off, use the code VELASCO when you check out! That is for everything in the store! This offer expires on April 30, 2010.*****

All before’s are color corrected and balanced.

These two are from the Vintage Touch actions. Some of these textured actions have a slightly toned color. I like the warmth that Paper Cut gives.

This is a new fav! These actions are so easy to use. Just run them, they are fast – even the texture actions, and then paint out what you don’t want texturized. And you are done! You can always adjust the layers to your liking.

high school…those are the years | scottsdale senior photographer

April 13th, 2009 , Posted in high school seniors

I had my first horse and senior shoot a few weeks ago! How fun is that! I used to love horses growing up and totally wanted to have one and compete in shows. But like many of my childhood dreams…hehe anyway…

Katie is a high school senior who wanted some photos to remember her year by…a bit late but it doesn’t matter! She’s going to college back home and will be taking her horse with her. She’s had him for years and used to compete with him back home. I had so much fun! I love working with animals and their parents =) It can be challenging at times, but if you don’t have too many high expectations, I usually come up with some great images!

Enjoy the peak!
