Studio Update and Self Portraits

Posted on by martinbelgica
I have some updates on the studio. I have added curtains and clothing hanger for wardrobe. I have also installed a full body mirror and a half body mirror for makeup and fitting. There is still a longway to go for this photography studio. For the mean time I took some self portraits and did some random recording to test my equipment and its response to my chosen internet provider and also the flow of work that could happen in the future. STUDIO MIRRORS DOING NOTHING AND THINKING SOMETHING Do you know the feeling of having a place to do work but not have anywork to do besides buying stuff to make things better?

Cleaning Time : Winter Time

Posted on by martinbelgica
I just fixed my Globe internet connection, it works fine now. Cleaning the studio is so boring that I decided to take some photos for fun. Cleaning the floors makes me want to by some good smelling floor wax. Cleaning is a good habit that I have not yet developed in myself as a virtue. I clean my room and the studio I rent once or twice a month, this is not a good number. I should be cleaning the office studio more than 4 times a month as a decent base. THE RECLINER FEELS SO GOOD The past days I have been doing some video work due to lack of ideas about photography. I think I can do a...Read More

Yoga and Photography

8 limbs of Yoga and PhotographyYOGA AND PHOTOGRAPHYHello, What is my ultimate goal in life? The answer to that is to perfect my dhyana samadhi in the ways of purposeful enlightenment. Why photography and not just be a monk inside a cave? The answer to that is how can enlightenment be experienced visually and auditory when it is not visual and audible for some but an experience. How can I translate the experience of samadhi to media. Another question arises from the question of why photography? My goal in life is to translate my experience of samadhi in film or imagery.SAMADHIMy samadhi experience is as simple as just being lucky with my pranayama.

Japan A trip of Questions and Amazements

Posted on by martinbelgica
Japan Nihon...A very interesting space on earth. A land full of culture and heritage leaping with technological force. Seeing Japan is like acquiring a cube. A land with different faces. My family went to Osaka, Nagoya and Kyoto. I being a very relaxed person, do not push forward towards something without the necessary training to perform tasks. Japan was a strong land to deal with and so my Nihongo was my downfall. Interesting people are Japanese people without a decent amount of Japanese words counts to me as not taking photographs based on the standards of the land, expect my photographs to be just a beginner level Nihon taking photos of a very advanced level Nihon. Japan is an advanced...Read More

Drama and Social Media Publishing

Posted on by martinbelgica
The Magic of DramaA lost art indeed is the art of potrayal, many have been the victim of hyper publishing that drama is a lost art. Every media content out there is based on duplicity of one thing an algorithmic race towards the absurd prize of view counts and temporary fame that fades in a span of 3 months more or less. The 15 minutes of fame or 15 seconds of fame may now be realized by the users of social media and the consumer of Cable TV. A factual reality of hyper data consumpltion.During the times of publishing 1 material per month to 1 material per week and the most hard time table is the 5 day stretch of...Read More

I had no plans on taking photos for the trip in terms of creativity but just a fun couple of days with some photos that I feel I should take a snapshot of.

We stayed on a house near the main city and it...Read More

Fractal Orgone Pyramid Idea

Posted on by martinbelgica
Hello this is a blog post about the Orgone Infinity Concept Shoot, it is composed of a Citrine sphere stone, a Pyramid Orgone and two mirrors. The basic idea is to just create an infinite look or evoke and expansive feeling when you see the photograph, seeing the artwork behind orgone items I figured this will be a cool blog post. CAMERA AND LENS I will use a Nikon Entry level 3500 camera for this one, a low budget concept shoot for the website. Lenses I used are 11 - 50mm AF-P and 70 - 300mm AF P kit lenses. The two lens usually is with the d3500 camera as a package. AF-P lenses has good AF response and focusing...Read More
