Penelope with Jessy Cortes

Penelope is a beautiful song a story from Joan Manuel Serrat about a woman that waited all her life for her lover to come back, going back to the train station hoping, a sad story as he never came back to her or, they were never able to reconnect, as the time passed they couldn't recognized each other.

Penelope story was the inspiration for last week story teller photo session with my best body Jessy Cortes, she is an amazing woman, and she did like always a perfect job. We had a lot of fun, I only used my 5DMarkiii and one lens Canon 24-105, when working with Jessy I have no fear, even taking photo under harsh light, with her nothing is impossible.  I used different preset in my processing to reflect the past, using nostalgic color and bw filters.

 It was a great day of work, , we added these photos just to add to this sad story, to have fun using this space, Mendoza is one of the perfect place to play in a dangerous place without being outlaws, the authority are extremely patient and only told us to move when they needed to move the train!

Indiana Jessy at the Jurassic Park "La Quinta Anabtawi"!

This image was done using 53 photos stitched together.

Working with Jessy is always fun,  this time we decided to relax and enjoy a sunny Sunday morning at our friend Riyad place " La Quinta Anabtawi, in Vistalba Mendoza.

We were there for our photography meet up, this was my last one as the group organizer, and it was the best one ever!

I did 2 panoramic photos, the one on top was done using 53 photos stitched together, I had to reduce the resolution of all the photos to merge them in Photoshop to prevent crash, I am hoping to redo it with even more resolution with a better program.
For the second one I used 26 images a bit faster to merge, but still I had to reduce the resolution of all photos again to prevent crash!

This image was done using 26 photos stitched together.

 I also used my small Lensbaby Circular Fisheye 5.8mm, extreme wide angle, not crazy with the resolution but it a creative tool, and I use it from time to time,

 Keeping the best part for the end, I shoot Jessy my bff and favorite model, this time my heroine was playing the role of Indiana Jessy in Jurassic Park, I processed all the photo in black and white for 2 reason, first I wanted to give the photo a vintage movie look and second all the photos were shot during the noon hour the worst time to take photo, harsh light not great for any photos especially for portrait. No matter how harsh the light was Jessy always looked great, as you'll see with this little story teller,                    "Indiana Jessy at the Jurassic Park!"

Jessy having fun, like always during our shooting session!!!
