Lara Jade's "Fashion Photography 101"

This has been my reading material lately: the amazing guide for new fashion photographers, by my photography idol and inspiration Lara Jade. It has been a great fountain of knowledge and I am so glad I got it. I wish I had it sooner, but better late than never.

It describes every single step on pursuing your own techniques, how to gather a team together and how to concept your shoot and work. I always said that I would never do fashion, since it always looked plain and not personal to me, but lately I've been finsing out that it's not just about fashion; it's about a story, a look, beauty, and I am embracing the theme. And with this, I will never say never to diferent types of photography. I've learned my lesson.

Lara Jade is amazing.

In November

... I'm visiting Paris, for my birthday! This is probably the best present someone could give me. So that makes my boyfriend the best in the world for me. I've been dying to go to Paris for a while and it seems the perfect time to visit the "La Ville-Lumière" ("The City of Light").

I am not wasting any time on searching the best sites (specially historical, because I became a history nerd over the past year and a half) to visit. I'm already taking photos in my head just by thinking of it! And singing "The Beauty and the Beast" or "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame" songs while I walk on the streets! I'm just so excited, I'm sorry. 

Another announcement:
In the next days, I will try to become more active on the blog, approaching diferent aspects that I come across on my daily life. Things I buy, reviews, fashion, lifestyle, photography, literature... A little bit of anything and everything.

I really want to stick up with this. Unless it gets boring. Then I will stop lol

Au revoir!

"Oh Darling... Remember the Goodtimes", by Despe&Veste Clothing

Everyone knows how loyal and addicted to these girls and to this clothing store I am, so here's the new summer collection from Despe&Veste!!!

This time was a little diferent. Marta Dores, the brand owner, wanted to put out some ideias for something comming up really soon. I am also helping, obviously, and it's all comming together amazingly, and I can't wait to show you guys what it is! Did I sound a little douchey now, by teasing and leave it? haha Sorry, but you really have to wait!

The location for this photoshoot was at a gorgeous spot: a house with a big property, including a swimming pool, in the countryside and it was breathtaking. I love when the place gives me a variety of backgrounds, set ups and diferent props, so the creativity flows a lot more, resulting in beautiful pictures. The whole team was in a good spirit, the weather was fantastic, we had snacks so we were happy, haha.

Enjoy! "Oh Darling... Remember the Goodtimes", by Despe&Veste.
