Liz Von Hoene

Liz Von Hoene photography is pretty amazing, She has her own style in all of her photographs, I like the way she makes her models look, in a very fashionistic matter but at the same time, soft and kind of makes them look normal, i also like her black and white photographs speacially the one were there's an scenery, a small house and a woman wearing a white dress, I also like her advertising was impressive, I will chose her to do the photographs for my ad.

For this campaign I used the font that Armani uses for its logo, i used the font for the headline. I think this one works better than campaign A, because I think it looks more like a "real" fashion ad, I even added a strip, for the consumer to smell the product.

Campaign A


Here is my ad for Armani Mania, deodorant I diffuse the light to have a dark/black background I wanted to give the product a sense of importance, and that it workd,also I wanted to make it look like a fashion ad, for a cologne. The first one is the original photograph of the ad.

The Pit

So, last thursday I went to a metal show at Irving Plaza,to my surprise the show was sold out. I went to see Between The Buried & Me, they were opening for a band called Bleeding Trough, which i dont really like because all of their songs sound the same to me, so i was watching BTBM,their music is really cool and rare, they go from a ballad tune, to a really metal part,in one song in seconds. and all of a sudden a huge mosh pit formed and all the kids were really static to see them perform, i think this is a good picture because it captures the energy of metal shows,look how that kid is hanging from the ceiling.

Carnaval 2006 "La Vega"







ok,so last weekend i went to Dominican Rep. for four days it was an emergency trip, but in spanish theres a saying that goes to bad times show a good face something like that you guys get me, so i decided to go to the carnaval in La Vega, every sunday during the month of February every town in Dominican Republic has a carnival, La Vega is the most famous one in the country, it is estimated that more than 100,000 thousand people go to this small town, Dancing, Partying,Parades, driking, and of course getting your whacked on your butt by the diablos is an awesome experience, a little a short explanation about the carnival in La vega.some of the the diablos are nice and will pose for the camara but there was one that came after me with the balloon to hit me..:)

The Carnival is the most traditional popular festivity of the Dominican Republic. It goes back to the colony, on the eve of lent, when people in Santo domingo disguised themselves to imitate the European Shrovetide.

If "people began to wear masks in Santo Domingo" as of the 16th century, the truth is that this colonial tradition increased with the heroic deeds of the republicans on February 27, 1844 and August 16, 1865, to such an extent that almost since then these are the official dates of celebration of our carnivals, regardless of the fact that they may fall or not on shrovetide. The first date at least normally falls on lent. It is known that the carnival is celebrated before lent, which is a time of penance and preparation for Christ´s passion. taken from this web site...http://www.dominicana.com.do/english/carnival.htm here are some pictures hope you guys like it
