I'm blessed because I'm finding a way to make art for a living. I'm not even there yet, but I'm conscious that it's a way many artists choose not to go. It's a fear of mine to be one of those artists. And everyday I get the opportunity to meet the most amazing people in the world. And it just keeps getting better. There is something about the way the people I surround myself with see all that is best in me, and it keeps me in touch with the idea that great things are going to happen in my life. I just need to keep working hard. Freelancing so far has been like riding a bicycle which I am told has the ability to fly. I have never really seen it fly. Not in person. But I am riding it, and in this scenario the only way to know if it can fly is to ride it off of a cliff. Here I am now in mid air. I'm not on the ground, but I haven't really started falling, so any second now I will officially be flying. I have faith in that. Otherwise I wouldn't have started pedaling this insane bicycle of dreams. In the moments when my confidence is with me, it becomes clear: you aren't going to believe the things I will show you with my flying bicycle. There are amazing things to come. the volume of projects I have in post production right now is like a swarm of killa bees coming at ya. #Wutang One last huge thank you to models Chelsea and Athena. I really appreciate your efforts in pursuing our aesthetic goal that day. "Models Chelsea and Athena collaborated with me in a studio environment to recreate/reimagine/pay homage to my first real photoshoot I orchestrated back in Photo 101 many years ago. Monica provided an expert assist. That shoot was shot on 35mm B+W film and I wanted to preserve the feel of it in this shoot. Despite the change in medium-- switching to digital-- I am very pleased with the results. The original shoot was performed on a Pentax K 1000, an absolutely solid beast: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentax_K1000.
The new version was shot on my canon 7D with a Zeiss Normal 50mm f/1.4 ZE Planar T* Manual Focus Lens for Canon EOS Cameras. I had a blast using the lens and I look forward to shooting with it more. If you are a lens fanatic like myself you can read more about this gem Here. "

Lorenzo Cuevas:The Photo/Video life provides limitless subjects to contemplate. My existence is defined by the Pursuit/Exploration of Art, Technology, and The Human Condition. I intend to do some of that here, post new and old work and hopefully interact with others through the black hole that is the internet. Archives
