I had an amazing time shooting the new 2010 Borris Powell collection in a beautiful fall morning in Chicago. We had 4 hours to do the whole thing, shooting in two different locations: A private garden and The Buckingham Fountain surroundings. Thanks to Fredy Anaya for make-up and, as always wonderful, Nevsy Zee with Custome Hair Lounge. Shooting companions: Antonio Anobile (NYC) and Ben Nelson with Envision Studio (Kansas City).

After The Storm...

2010-06-24T00:12:00.001-04:00

What a metaphor! Chicago yesterday had the craziest weather i've even seen in my life. And weather is what i'm going to remember this city for. What a show! I was cooking dinner and a little afraid of all the tornado warnings we were having, when all of a sudden, this golden light filled up my apto.

I ran to the roof top of my building and snapped these photographs with my Canon 5D and no tripod while that lasted :)

Alexandra drove in from Minneapolis specially for this shoot. At first, she was shy and, as it turned out when i told her to stand up on a wall, afraid of heights. She took two seconds, breathed in and came fiercely strong as soon as i held the camera up. What a treat!!

Anxiety was one of the things that came with photography into my life. The unpredictability of it was driving me insane and not letting me enjoy it anymore. This book literally introduced a new and better "chapter". Introspectiveness, focus and detachment came at the right time.

London Fashion Week

2010-02-26T19:54:00.000-05:00

I just came back the most intense and fun week in London, when i pretty much drank like the British, stayed at "The Dorchester" (a freaking 5-star Hotel in the middle of May Fair), endured lots of rain, hung out at Soho as much as i could and slept four hours a day.
I was there to shoot Borris Powell "The Rise Of An Empress" Show, as part of London Fall Fashion Week 2010. We also had an Amazing Shoot in the middle of Trafalgar Square with British Model Katie Johnson for the Collection's Campaign. I will be able to post more photos of the photo shoot, once Borris shows here in Chicago. I'll have a "making of" video of it to show you.

Weekend at the Studio

2010-01-19T12:36:00.001-05:00

I just got back from Brazil where i spent the holidays wearing nothing but flip flops and surfer shorts. Already back to the studio testing two beautiful girls: Rose, who's only 14 years old and has Prada written all over, and Magalie, a blond Bombshell. Will be posting photos from South America and more of the tests soon.

Taylor Gatlin

2009-12-04T14:58:00.000-05:00

Man, do i have work backed up!! Having three different jobs does not make editing shoots (each with 600-700 photos) much easier. But since Chicago has suddenly turned into the North Pole, i'll be forced to stay in with my computer retouching all the shoots i've done this summer and fall.
I'm still planning to move to Los Angeles. Just don't know when. Sometime next year.
This shoot i did with Taylor Gatlin (Elite Chicago), who was a sweetheart and easy to work with. Just watch those hazel-greenish beautiful eyes and lips!!

We're pushing ourselves and being pushed to endless limits,
thus we're never satisfied with what we do,
and people, never happy with what we've got to offer.

The wind always brings
The same.

But, on the good side, i've been shooting a lot. This is a quick update on some model testing i've been doing. This is Chris Smolqy, who's just a walking zanax pill (such a cool guy!!). He's with Chosen (Elite) Chicago. His hair and make-up were done by Nevsy Zee with www.customehairlounge.com. A lot more photos to come SOON.

This was shot in the swamps of Natal, Brazil. I used day light and a bouncer to my right. We had 10 minutes with the sun, since it goes down really quick in the southern hemisphere. But it seems that i thrive on chaos and always get the my favorite images in the middle of the rush.

I already miss Brazil, its people specially, my family and friends. I'll also miss our simple happiness.
For right now, I'll leave you guys with a quick preview of Dj Felipe Lira, who's really hot right now in Brazil. He's a great friend and a mature Dj with unexpected-fun-sophisticated mixes.

Eu gostaria de pedir desculpas a todas as pessoas interessadas no seminario de luz de estudio que eu iria ministrar aqui em Natal. Mas devido a problemas com a organizacao do evento, as aulas foram canceladas.
Na minha proxima viagem a Natal, que acontecerah em breve, alugarei um estudio onde darei esse mesmo curso com a carga horaria de 30 hora/aula.
Agradeco ao interesse de todos e jah estou ancioso para o meu retorno, quando encontrarei todos.

Does the fly land on the same spot twice?

2009-03-05T15:11:00.000-05:00

As photographers, we all know that a lot of the images that we pursuit now, have already been embedded in our minds for a long time. I had never felt that, though. Until I snapped this photo of a boy at my Father's farm, loved it but i didn't know WHY i liked it or WHY i even took it. Then I realized that it looked exactly like a painting my family had in our living room when i was a kid and i was obsessed about. And, as to questioning myself on why i thought this photo was important, i see more and more reasons every time i look at it.
I see myself disoriented and curious, sad but contemplative, immature but confident.
I also love the link to that part of my past i had forgotten and I love the fact that i realized that we're governed by so many different forces that takes us "instinctively" to where we are right now.
Back to the same photo.

Make-Over

2009-03-03T16:40:00.000-05:00

I've been working on a make over for this blog for the longest time. Well, i've got this nasty cold and it's been raining non-stop for 3 days, so i can't go to the beach. So, here's part of the result. I've seen pictures of Chicago and it looks so "deliciously" cold, i think i'll stay here for a little while. I'm just going to have to start selling my body to make a little money. Anybody up for it??
Ah! As a little treat, i've got some photos a model Jeff Lindell chose to use in his portfolio.

Os Cao de Redinha - The Devils of Redinha

2009-02-25T07:55:00.000-05:00

This is a carnaval group that's been parading for over 40 years in a small beach community in Natal, Brazil. They cover themselves in mud, which they use to splash whomever comes in their path, and dance through the narrow streets of Redinha. It was a lot of fun to be amidst it all. It's just a break of the "finicky" all and, besides, they make A GREAT FASHION STATEMENT :) More at http://flickr.com/photos/giulianocorreia

OMG, Press!!!

2009-02-12T14:43:00.001-05:00

Soooo, i'm giving a workshop in the use of studio and available light at SENAC school in Natal. I got interviewed by the major local news paper "Diario de Natal" and made the cultural section COVER (the entire freaking thing!). There's also one of photos on the cover of the paper! I'm so excited that finally people are going to see my work. Nothing better for an egocentric artist :)
p.s.: Have you seen the latest photos of Madonna by Steven Klein??

Pissing in the spotlight

2009-02-09T21:13:00.001-05:00

This was taking at a friend's play. He, Cesar Amorim, wrote, directed and acted in this show called " i didn't kill it, but i know who i was". An amazingly rich and complex comedy (?) I was really happy to spend some time in the theater again which is one thing i think influences my light and composition of photographs.

Testing with Jeff Lindell

2009-02-05T08:30:00.001-05:00

Jeff is with Stewart Talent in Chicago and he's just the coolest and most professional guy. I made him wear the tiniest speedo ever, long underwear ONLY out in the snow and feathers in his hair.
I love testing with models who are just up for everything. It's the best about photography, to find out about unexpected imagery.
You'll see the spiciest of the images soon :)

Brazil is not only...

2009-01-19T17:01:00.000-05:00

After living in between two countries for a while, i always look at things through a foreigner's eye. And, in my opinion, nothing summarizes better the combination of beauty and chaos that is Brazil, like this verse from one of Marisa Montes' song that says "O Brasil nao eh soh verde, anil e amarelo; O Brasil tambem eh cor-de-rosa e carvao", which means Brazil is not only green, blue and yellow. Brazil is also pink and charcoal color.

San Francisco

2009-01-13T21:03:00.000-05:00

I think San Francisco is one of the most photogenic cities i know. There's just a lot going on. I was there last December and it was great to spend Christmans without that crazy amount of snow on the ground. And i do think i had to shoot it in color.

Ok, i've been way too negligent about posting. Well, staying updated with my photography is one of my new year's resolutions. And since we're talking about it, a 2009 with less pills and work talk, more smiles and orgasms for everyone!!!
You shall not hate me, but I'm spending the South American summer in Brazil, where i'll be shooting, hopefully, a lot of hot people :)
But before, I'd like to share some photos of the trip i took up the US West Coast, from LA to Seattle. I was so glad to be away from the shopping-eating hysteria that Christmas is, in the middle of the Death Valley. It was so peaceful and invigorating.

Well, it's so cold today it made me think of how different the city feels when it's summer. That's why i decided to post this photo of Bruno, who's actually a dentist and an eletronics freak :) For Brazilians like us, there's nothing like walking around without a shirt on and in flip-flops. Happy Thanksgiving weekend to everyone.

2008-11-13T14:03:00.001-05:00

OK, if i had to be a woman I'd pick this body :). I couldn't be happier with the way this photo turned out. This Bulgarian's fierceness (with a lisp) and sexuality are just palpable and i think i was able to capture it in this shot. Nevena is a Hair Stylist and a crazy untamed free-spirited hot mess like me.

This was just taken around the block from where i live. Though the winter here is a bitch, I find this image quiet peaceful. Besides, i love the spirits of the mid-westerns that will just continue with their day, no matter what kind of weather is out there. And i have a thing for foggy days.

Image x Text

2008-10-24T14:43:00.000-04:00

You know what? Sometimes we have to go past the concept of "an image is worth a thousand words". It's redundant to say that an artist is also a communicator, and that's what drives me to take a photo. But that can be too many interpretations within the "thousand" words in a image. I don't want to spoon-feed anyone, but I may want my message to be more specific, thus effective. Fewer words can be more aggressive against stupidity. It shocks me that, in our time, we still have a stupid bimbo like Sarah Palin trying to gain popularity through banning gay marriage, as if it was in the same category as terrorism or a tax increase.
I'm tired of only rolling my eyes at abuses like these. Open your mouth.

I can never get tired of watching people and feeding on all the stories that they just unintentionally present me with.
This photo just remind me that we're all very young and we need to keep on learning and doing it, bitches!!

I've been a little nostalgic of the Brazilian simplicity lately. A lot of us "up here" in the North are so spoiled, picky and high-maintenance and it drives me crazy.

Cheers to the "mediocrity" of this girl's contentment for having caught a big fish that she couldn't even carry. We should be more humble.
