Here is the new cover of Belle Magazine featuring model Dominique Sotelo.

Together with Laura Doth of Grindstone Graphics we produced stock images for use by the New Mexico Wine Growers Association. The concept was to feature bottles of wine with generic NM wine labels in a setting that incorporates the flavor of New Mexico. Now all of the associate New Mexican wine growers have beautiful images to use at their disposal for promotion and marketing. I love doing table top studio photography, and one of the benefits of this shoot was the wonderful wine I had to drink following the shoot.

To be featured in the next issue of Belle magazine, this table top by Imagine Events was photographed at the El Paso Zoo.

Model Yesenia Maynez photographed for promotional use by the Nuestra Belleza El Paso Pageant.  You should be seeing her on a billboard in El Paso this month. Nuestra Belleza El Paso is going to be held on July 31, 2010 at the Plaza Theater and they welcome new contestants. Contact Bazaar Models.

For the rich blue background the cover photo shoot took place poolside at the Colinas del Sol mega-apartment complex in El Paso. The model is Chantal Blancarte.

And here is his book!  I met Fred a few years back when he commissioned me to take this photograph seen on the cover of his new book.  Since then he has become a great friend. He is a great guy, but often misunderstood.  You can find more about Fred Brito and his book here: http://thegreatpretenderthebook.blogspot.com

Upon the urgings of a friend I took the $150 1.5 hour long Adobe Certified Expert Exam for Photoshop yesterday. Being that I not only live in the world of Adobe Photoshop - as I work with it daily as a professional photographer, but also that I teach both Intro to Photoshop and Advanced Photoshop I thought I would have a good chance of success without studying or preparing - just like the old days of college.  Well with success, I am now an A.C.E., an Adobe Certified Expert in Photoshop!

Model Dominique Sotelo will be featured on the cover of Belle Magazine for June.  For the next edition Alex Rodriguez, the designer of Soleil Media chose green.  We did the cover shoot at the Butterfield Golf Course in El Paso, Texas.  It is always nice to get out of the photo studio and photograph on location.

The new edition of Belle Magazine is out. Its been out for a while - it always just takes me a while to update my blog.  On the cover is model Beatriz Enriquez. A beautiful woman who is a pleasure to photograph.
