Photography

Today I want to share with you a series of photos that I captured while running errands around the city.

When we go out into the street, we encounter an endless number of situations and scenarios. I have always believed that very particular things happen in Venezuela, which perhaps are not seen in other countries. Precisely for that reason, I like to take my camera with me wherever I go and photograph everything. Perhaps you will find these everyday scenes interesting.



I am referring to things like this, a couple on a motorcycle carrying a load so bulky that it is almost extreme. This scene, so common on Venezuelan streets, reflects the creativity and ingenuity of the people to face difficulties.

Or this gentleman who walks around selling pens, lighters and various household items...

I don't know if you see these types of informal vendors in your countries, but here it is very common to see them every day.

![](https://m.stacker.news/35285)

![](https://m.stacker.news/35286)

I also like to photograph more common things from day to day because I hope that these photos, in the future, will be a window to the past. That people can see how people lived in this city in the year 2024.

I hope you found this photographic tour of my city interesting.

Venezuelan Street photography (10 pics)

This time I photographed a beautiful Beagle dog named Molly.

I was walking in the park when I found a lady walking her cute beagle dog so I decided to approach her and ask if I could take some pictures of the dog and she said yes.

![](https://m.stacker.news/35170)

![](https://m.stacker.news/35171)

In this dynamic I have learned that to photograph dogs you need to have a lot of patience because they have a lot of energy and move around very quickly.

But if there is one thing I have, it is patience and I always keep trying until I get the desired photo!

if there is one thing that dogs have, it is that they look beautiful in all the photos, they fill the whole photo with tenderness!

You see the dog sitting in all the photos but between photos she was running around energetically, after a few minutes she got tired and the owner gave her water so I took advantage to take some photos during that interaction.

In the end we got some really cute photos!

Food shops - Venezuelan street photography

Thanks you really really much!!!

yes that feature could be really good!

Today I want to share with you some photos that capture the essence of a particular element of daily life in Venezuela: bodegas, small grocery stores that supply the population with basic necessities.

These stores are the main point of purchase for most Venezuelans, as they offer more affordable prices than large supermarket chains.

![](https://m.stacker.news/35034)

![](https://m.stacker.news/35035)


Their origin dates back to the Venezuelan economic crisis of 2014-2016, when the scarcity of basic products worsened. The city's proximity to Colombia (only 40 minutes away) led many people to buy products there to resell them here, making this the city the first in Venezuela to "overcome" the food shortage.

Although the importation was "illegal" in the eyes of the government, it was a common practice that involved paying "bribes" along the route between Colombia and Venezuela. Today, a large part of the products found in these bodegas are still Colombian.

![](https://m.stacker.news/35036)

![](https://m.stacker.news/35037)

![](https://m.stacker.news/35038)

Another alternative born out of the crisis are the fruit and vegetable markets. These spaces offer a wide variety of fresh products at very affordable prices, as vendors buy directly from local producers. When the vegetables are about to go rotten, they are offered at almost giveaway prices.

![](https://m.stacker.news/35039)

![](https://m.stacker.news/35040)

![](https://m.stacker.news/35041)

Of course, there are also mixed stores that sell both vegetables and groceries for the home, but these are usually a bit more expensive since these businesses are more established and have to pay suppliers, rent, taxes, etc.

A small bakery in the middle of a neighborhood in Venezuela:

![](https://m.stacker.news/35045)

In my street photography, I don't look for the "perfect image" because I like to portray reality as it is.

I hope this photographic journey has allowed you to learn a little more about Venezuela today.

Today I am going to share a series of studio portraits that I did with a friend named Mary who is a professional esthetician. She works with eyebrows and also makeup, so we had to find a way to capture that in this series of photos.


To bring the theme of the photos to the fact that Mary is a professional esthetician, she wore a blazer for a more corporate look and a caliper to reference her work with eyebrows


![](https://m.stacker.news/34909)

Mary asked me to take a picture of her with her partner since they are both the image of the beauty studio and they needed a corporate photo together for their social networks:

![](https://m.stacker.news/34910)

Then she changed the blazer for a vest which is more related to her work as a makeup artist, at this point of the photoshoot she had already relaxed and as she was calmer she started to do more poses:

![](https://m.stacker.news/34911)

![](https://m.stacker.news/34912)

![](https://m.stacker.news/34913)

Once we were happy with the objectives we set, we were able to experiment a little and take some more casual photos that she can use for her day to day.

Mary is a very sporty girl with an athletic body type so she wanted to take a picture where we could highlight that:

![](https://m.stacker.news/34914)

![](https://m.stacker.news/34915)

We were both very happy with the beautiful results we got from the studio photoshoot, I hope you liked them as much as we did.

I am really new to studio photography so if you have any advice for me, I would be happy to read it!

Portraits of a professional esthetician.

deleted by author

I'm back with a new photo shoot as part of my project where I take pictures of strangers on the street.

I was walking through the park and I was drawn to this girl who was wearing a very pretty sportswear outfit. When I saw that she was taking pictures, I decided to approach her and ask if I could take a couple of free portraits for my photography project. The girl was very happy and accepted the photo shoot.

![](https://m.stacker.news/34754)

![](https://m.stacker.news/34755)

![](https://m.stacker.news/34756)

When I talked to her, she told me that she was very happy because she was taking pictures for her online store, where she sells this type of sportswear. So the fact that I approached her to offer her a free photo shoot seemed like a great idea to her because she could use these professional photos to advertise her store.

So it was a win-win situation for both of us and the pictures turned out very nice.

![](https://m.stacker.news/34762)

The photo shoot was very quick but very pleasant and we were both very happy because we got some very nice pictures.

I was especially happy because I was able to help in the entrepreneurship of a girl who is striving to get ahead.

Spontaneous photo session for an online clothing store

Today I want to share with you a corporate photo session that I did 2 days ago for a friend who is a makeup artist. We had already planned the photo session for a long time but on the days that I was available she was not available and vice versa, until a few days ago we were able to agree a day and carry out the photo session!!

I took these photos as a collaboration with my friend Gaby, so she could have more professional photos for her social networks and I could create a portfolio to show my clients when they ask about corporate photo sessions.


![](https://m.stacker.news/34609)

![](https://m.stacker.news/34610)

For the background of the photographs I used a background with a gray fabric and for lighting I used 2 LED lights and a flash.

My friend Gaby used a blazer to give a more professional look in the photos and since she is a makeup artist she couldn't miss a photo with the makeup brush.

![](https://m.stacker.news/34611)



![](https://m.stacker.news/34612)

Something I liked about working in the studio is that once the lighting is well done, the photos are almost perfect straight from the camera and it is not necessary to take many photographs "looking for the right one."

I hope you liked these photos as much as I did!

Corporate Portraits photo session

Today I'm sharing a series of self-portraits I took in my small home studio. I wanted to create some 

![](https://m.stacker.news/34505)"corporate" style photos where I looked more professional, while also practicing with a lighting scheme on a black background.




I dressed in a formal shirt and pants to look more professional. I started with some standing shots, using some reference poses I have on my phone to guide me.



![](https://m.stacker.news/34501)

![](https://m.stacker.news/34502)

![](https://m.stacker.news/34503)

![](https://m.stacker.news/34504)

To take these photos, I used a tripod and i connected the camera to my phone to trigger remotely with a 5-second timer.

I also used a black background and a 2-light setup: one at a 45-degree angle to my face and another behind me to separate me from the background.

Then I put a chair in the set to vary the type of photos and get different results.

![](https://m.stacker.news/34507)

![](https://m.stacker.news/34508)


When I take self-portraits, I try not to judge myself and accept myself as I am. I take a couple of shots per pose and move on!


![](https://m.stacker.news/34509)

It's always been more difficult for me to take photos of myself than of other people because I'm not a model or anything like that and I have insecurities like everyone else BUT facing this in front of the camera has helped me to accept myself as I am and love myself more.

I hope you enjoyed these photos as much as I did!

Professional self portraits

Love ourselves - Studio Photo session.

Today I want to share with you a studio-style photoshoot I did with a beautiful and photogenic friend. This photoshoot is very special to me because it left me with a beautiful message: to love and accept ourselves.

![](https://m.stacker.news/34370)

We actually took these photos for Women's Day. That day I had the opportunity to photograph several friends with different styles, personalities, and body types.

And I wanted to start precisely with this photoshoot because she, my friend Meiby, was the one who surprised me the most. Despite not having the "perfect body" that this materialistic society imposes, she was full of confidence and had the best attitude of all the girls. She truly accepts and loves herself, and she can show that in front of the camera.

![](https://m.stacker.news/34371)

![](https://m.stacker.news/34372)

![](https://m.stacker.news/34373)

Meiby posed with great ease and confidence, and even wanted to show her body to demonstrate that you don't need to have the "perfect" body to be beautiful.

And that's precisely why there was no photo where Meiby didn't look beautiful.

![](https://m.stacker.news/34374)

![](https://m.stacker.news/34375)

I hope you enjoyed these photos as much as I did, and that the message of this photoshoot has inspired you!


Today I want to share a photo shoot I did with a girl who had a very nice sport outfit.

I didn't know this girl, actually i saw her in the park while I was filming videos for my project of photographing strangers on the street. I decided to approach her and ask if she wanted a couple of free photos, and she said yes.



Without much more to say, here are the photos:

![](https://m.stacker.news/34272)

![](https://m.stacker.news/34273)

She was very confident and loved posing for the camera.

Photographing people who already know how to pose always makes the job much easier.

![](https://m.stacker.news/34274)

![](https://m.stacker.news/34275)

I really liked the contrast created by the blue of her outfit and the green of the grass; it was a good play on colors to make the model stand out more.

For these photos, I used a 50mm lens with a 2f aperture to create a nice background blur.

The photoshoot was quite quick, and we were both happy because we got some really nice results!

![](https://m.stacker.news/34276)

![](https://m.stacker.news/34277)

In this photography project where I take pictures of strangers on the street, I aim to practice and improve my photography skills. I've also been practicing posing to guide people during photoshoots and have learned to have a better eye for portrait compositions, considering things like colors and the background.

Sport oufit girl Photo session

Today, I want to share with you some fascinating photographs I captured of the Apamates trees in full bloom. These trees, which grace the city of San Cristóbal, are giving us an lovely spectacle with their vibrant pink flowers.

Driven by my passion for photography, I couldn't resist the temptation to immortalize their beauty and share it with all of you.


![](https://m.stacker.news/34074)

![](https://m.stacker.news/34075)

![](https://m.stacker.news/34076)

San Cristóbal is a naturally green and colorful city, but now that the Apamates are in bloom, the landscape has taken on an even more special beauty. The photographs of urban landscapes with these blossoming trees are truly breathtaking!

![](https://m.stacker.news/34077)

![](https://m.stacker.news/34078)

I took these photos one day while running errands around the city, but I'll be going out again today to capture more of these beautiful trees. I'll share them with you as soon as I have them.

I hope you like them as much as I do. Thank you so much for appreciating my photos!

Pink trees all over the city

On this occasion, I want to share with you another studio photo session that I did as part of my constant search to perfect my skills in this exciting photography style.

I confess with complete honesty that I am a newbie to the world of studio photography, and I am in the stage of learning and experimenting with the various lighting schemes, so constant practice becomes essential.

I had the honor of capturing these images for a friend's mother, as a tribute to International Women's Day, celebrated last March 8. And what better way to commemorate this important date than by photographing my friends' mother.


![](https://m.stacker.news/33858)

![](https://m.stacker.news/33859)

![](https://m.stacker.news/33860)

The model wore an elegant black dress that highlighted the curves of her body, creating a contrast with the gray background. Since she is not a professional model, I dedicated myself to guiding her in each pose during the session. These practices have also allowed me to develop my ability to direct the models and create an atmosphere of trust and collaboration in the photo sessions.

As for the technical part, I used a lighting scheme composed of three lights:

A flash as the main light, located 45 degrees from the model.
An LED panel as secondary light, with the aim of softening shadows and creating more natural lighting.
A LED panel in the back to separate the model from the background and generate greater depth in the image.


![](https://m.stacker.news/33861)

![](https://m.stacker.news/33862)

![](https://m.stacker.news/33863)


I feel that in these photos we managed to capture the essence and beauty of the woman, and both the model and I were satisfied with the final result.

I hope you enjoy them as much as me!

Studio Photography practice.

I want to share with you a series of black and white photographs that I captured with one thought in mind: the love I feel for this city.

Through my lens and my passion for street photography, I can rediscover the city with fresh eyes, as if I were a foreigner seeing it for the first time. It is a pleasure to be able to share its beauty with all of you.

My home is in Venezuela, in a beautiful city called San Cristóbal. A city that stands on mountains and is surrounded by exuberant nature.

![](https://m.stacker.news/33724)

![](https://m.stacker.news/33725)

![](https://m.stacker.news/33727)

![](https://m.stacker.news/33728)

![](https://m.stacker.news/33729)

Without a doubt, what I love most about this city is the peace that is breathed in every corner.

![](https://m.stacker.news/33730)

I hope you enjoyed the photos in this post, which in some way is a tribute to this city that is so special to me.

A tribute to my hometown: San Cristóbal.

Today I want to share a series of street photos, these photos have a little of everything: urban landscapes, people in everyday life and some stories, but what I like most is that they capture the reality of the city where I live, San Cristobal. , Táchira State in Venezuela.

Despite the difficulties facing Venezuela, San Cristóbal retains its peaceful spirit. The kindness of its people and the warmth of the atmosphere wrap you in a comforting hug.


![](https://m.stacker.news/33662)

This is a peaceful city, very beautiful and full of nature everywhere with vibrant colors in every corner.



![](https://m.stacker.news/33663)

San Cristobal is built on top of mountains so throughout the city we find many ups and downs.

![](https://m.stacker.news/33664)

In the next photo, what caught my attention was the jewel car that I found with a beautiful sunset in the background.

![](https://m.stacker.news/33665)

As it is a small city you can walk from one end of the city to the other, so it is very common to see people walking everywhere.

This photo caught my attention because the motorcyclist was wearing a formal clothing to ride a motorcycle and I feel that this expresses a little what Venezuela is like in general.


![](https://m.stacker.news/33671)


I really enjoy exploring the city taking these types of photos, I hope you liked all these street photographs as much as I did.

A sample of this city - Street Photography

Today, I'd like to share some street photographs that have one thing in common: the people of this city.

You know the saying, "every head is a world," and each person has a different story. So, each of these photos tells a completely different story.

I want to start this post with the photo of the two ladies talking, accompanied by a small dog. This photo tells a story on its own also the lady's hand pointing as if giving directions is quite curious.



![](https://m.stacker.news/33551)

This gentleman can be found there every day with his sign, basically asking for money to buy food.

![](https://m.stacker.news/33552)

In Venezuela, it's very common to find these "car watchers." They usually stand along busy avenues packed with cars, keeping an eye out to make sure no one steals your vehicle. These individuals almost always have a stick in their hand.



![](https://m.stacker.news/33553)

in this city, we don't have bike lanes, so it's very common to see cyclists in the middle of traffic. It's not necessary to say that this is very dangerous.

![](https://m.stacker.news/33554)

A security guard walks towards his job.

![](https://m.stacker.news/33555)

This is a city worker responsible for keeping the streets clean. These people are unsung heroes who hardly ever get recognized

![](https://m.stacker.news/33556)

These people work as motorcycle taxi drivers, they were there talking and waiting for a customer to come along.

![](https://m.stacker.news/33557)

People wait at a public transportation stop in front of a city square. As a curious detail, those payphones scattered throughout the city are all out of service.

Despite their lack of functionality, these phone booths add a touch of vintage charm to the cityscape.

![](https://m.stacker.news/33558)

I really enjoy walking the city and taking these kinds of photos. I hope you all enjoyed these street photographs as much as I enjoyed capturing them.

What gives life to this city.

Today I want to share with you a series of street photos that in my opinion illustrate very well the life of the city where I live, San Cristobal in Venezuela.

I like to find beauty in everyday moments and freeze those moments in a photograph like this: A mechanic at work, the man was fixing the wheel of a car.

![](https://m.stacker.news/33486)

There is also beauty in people walking with a beautiful city landscape.

I hope you liked these photos as much as I did!

Today I want to share with you a series of street photographs that show the people of this city living their daily lives, each one doing a different activity but in the end it is part of their daily life.

This is the first photo that I want to show you because if you look closely at the photo itself it already tells the story, there is a family getting on public transportation and the grandmother is saying goodbye to the baby, a very beautiful scene.

Street photography is a style that I really like, because through street photography I enjoy capturing life in its pure realism, just as it is lived every day.

I am excited to think that perhaps some people on the other side of the world might find it interesting to see photographs of life in Venezuela.

I hope you like these photos as much as I do.

People in this city - Street Photography

Today I am sharing with you again a series of street photographs, this time I took them with my professional camera, a Canon RP.

In this series of street photographs I seek to show you "life happening" in my city, a beautiful, a peaceful city full of very friendly people.


The first photo is of a cyclist taking a break, this city is built on mountains so there are many ups and downs, therefore riding a bicycle in a city like this is a quite physically demanding activity, it is too understandable that The gentleman is taking a break before continuing. He has my respect, that despite his age he continues to make an effort.

This photo has many layers. To start, I love how the trees create a kind of very beautiful natural tunnel. The people on the left were taking fruits from the tree and the people on the right are students gathered together talking.
