Hello everyone, it’s great to still be in beautiful sunny Southern California as pretty much everyone knew that I once almost relocated to Miami.  Things didn’t quite work out on that but I’m here and ready to rock and roll.

Now that I’m officially back, I’m going to focus on showcasing more of my beauty, fashion and art work.  Beauty is my forte and I love it.  It’s so beautiful that at the end of the day, the beauty of a face has been captured and at the same time get that WOW from others that see my work.  Below you’ll see several shots that I’ve done that have had awesome reviews about them.  Most of you know as well that I’m on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/orlandoperezphotography and a lot of my work is showcased there.  I also have a fan page if you wish to see images as well.  https://www.facebook.com/pages/Orlando-Perez-Photography/277708861056

So, lets get ready to move forward and have everyone look at the work and if you have any questions or want to know anything apart from what has been stated, feel free to let me know.

 

Here we go…

Extreme creative makeup is what the project called for.  Wanted to have something different and have fun with makeup at the same time.  Also "tri-color" in Photoshop with a filter from Nik Software was used.. Light source was one light above Jackie at about 3 feet with a softbox and a diffuser with a baffle inside.

Excited for another tearsheet for FaceON Magazine – September 2011

no comments

FaceON is a print magazine that is located in London.  I’m uberly excited as they showcased my work on their magazine recently.  When I receive the magazine in the mail I will scan some pages and show you what they’ve used.  It’s fun when one finds out that their work has been added to a high quality magazine.  FaceON focuses on professional makeup.  The pages from their Issue 6 (which I do currently have) are pages to pages high end makeup with so many quality models and photographers work.  Even now I still I pick up the magazine and browse through their pages as it’s so beautifully done.  Checkout the latest tearsheet that the editors were nice enough to send me my page until I receive the actual magazine in the mail.

 

Model: Jessica Serfaty with Wunder Management

Makeup artist: Chris Lombardo

Hairstylist: Jennifer Nicole Frederickson

Airbrush: Chris Del Castillo

Playboy’s Miss September 2011 Playboy of the Month – Tiffany Toth

no comments

I also had the pleasure of shooting another beautiful Playboy model; Tiffany Toth.  She got the Miss September 2011 Playboy of the Month.  For some odd reasons I knew she was going to make it in the magazine.  Mostly due to her friendliness along with her beautiful face and wonderful physique.  I’m going to share an image that I shot of her. This photo of her is currently in my gallery wall at the studio’s office.  Looks fantabulously beautiful I must say.

Hello again everyone.  I wanted to share with you in reference as to you never know who you’re going to meet up with, let alone shoot with.  I had the pleasure a while back to shoot with the beautiful Jessica Burciaga.  I’ll share an image that to me is not only beautiful but sexy as hell.  ;)

Jessica has appeared on The Girls Next Door and Go West Young Girl (Both a Playboy cable TV show)

When I shot Jessica, I noticed her stunning personality as well as how friendly she was with the crew.  She was very easy to work with and even easier to photograph as well.  Check her out below.

Model: Jessica Burciaga

Location: Westminster CA – DG Boxing Club (Now located in the city of Long Beach CA)

I had the pleasure of shooting a beautiful and awesome model not too long ago.  She came into the studio with a great positive attitude.  We had fun throughout the day as we captured some awesome images.  Take a look at the great conceptual images.  We spoke about different attitude captures…see for yourself.

 

My friend Kimmy Kamish.

Hello again everyone.

I wanted to share Kimmy Kamish, a beautiful friend that I’ve had the pleasure of shooting with.    Kimmy was crowned Miss Belize in 2009.  In 2010, I had the pleasure of not only meeting such a talented beautiful person, had a pleasure of shooting Kimmy TWICE (or was it three times?)  ;)   See some of Kimmy’s images below as you can see the true beauty that she is !

 

Kimmy also posted on her Tumblr account about me.  I didn’t know that she had such beautiful things to say about me, I’d tell ya but I’d rather you read it for yourself.

Model Erika Jordan

Recently I had the pleasure of shooting with a hot and sexy model named Erika Jordan.  She was just an amazing model to shoot with, we had a lot of fun and did some very nice creative images.  I had a fantabulous makeup artist/hairstylist (although she’s more of a makeup artist) named Heather Ivy.  Heather’s personality is just amazing and beautiful.  I’ve worked with Heather numerous of times and she never seems to fail me.

Here is a beautiful image that I created and will be used.  It’s such an amazing beautiful image that I’m going to showcase it in the gallery at my studio.
