Marinello Beauty School - The Portraits
A couple of weeks ago I got asked by my friend Keifla Antonio, teacher at Marinello Beauty School and owner of If Looks Could Kill Artistry, to help photograph he's student's work as they finish their term at the Marinello Beauty School. It was a pleasure to work with all of them and photograph their beautiful work. Each of the students had 3 looks to style from Period looks, Red Carpet, to Rock and Roll. Check out some of the work in this following video:
Hello from Oliver Henry Photography
Hi everyone! I hope all is going well with you these days. I wanted to check in with you guys and let you know how we've been. There have a been a lot of things going on with life these days.
The day job has been picking up. I've gotten more projects to work on and that has been keeping me on my feet. So your tax dollar are working. However once in awhile I do get an opportunity to get out in the field. And when I do get out I always a take a camera with me. Other than weddings and portraits, I also enjoy photographing freeways. To me its been a blessing to have both engineering and photography come together in such away that allows me to live out both my passions.

Start with Why?
We know WHAT we do but do we really know WHY we do it? Knowing why we do things can help us understand the driving force behind the decisions we make and help us inspire everyone to take action. In Simon Sinek's book Start with Why, he describes how people and companies can inspire people to take action and believe in there cause. Check out following video.
People DON'T buy WHAT you do but WHY you do it.
Knowing WHY you do something has all of the power to help you take your dreams and passion and turn it into a reality.
Ultimate Shootout 8 - J Street Studios
After much fanfare and work, I've finally got the final set of photos from the Ultimate Shootout 8 finished and ready for viewing. For my second shootout this one was a fun one. I got the opportunity to work my photographer buddies, Mark, Justin, and Haseeb. Also I had an opportunity to shoot in working studio environment that provided multiple shooting possiblities. And lastly I got an opportunity to shoot a Visual Story call the "Book." The check the following videos and images from the shoot.

The Importance of Doing Personal Projects
For many of us, getting "work" done is usually our top priority of the day. These days its easy to get lost in the daily grind and forget to take a breather once in awhile. Trust me when I say this. In the past few months, the photography business has taken off. It seems like every week there is something I have to do related to photography, whether a business meeting, a group meeting, shooting events, editing pictures, etc...its been a constant flux of new projects. But don't get me wrong, I absolutely love every moment these things happen.
However one thing that helps me keep things in check is to do some personal projects along with these weekly photography engagements. Doing a personal is important because it's your time to play and experiment with the craft. And it's YOUR time to just be and get re-energized. Remember also that personal projects don't have to be done alone. This year, I'm collaborating with a few of my fellow photography buddies on several projects. The paid photography may get the bills paid for you but it is these personal projects that help you grow and learn the craft so you can be the best photographer you can be.

Sneak Peak - SCPG: Ultimate Shootout 9 - La Glam Bam!
Hot!!! How else could I describe US9?! The venue, the models, the hair & makeup, the photographers, everyone worked it and it definitely shows.
The theme for this Ultimate Shootout was European Sultry and Urban Lifestyle. It was held in Downtown San Diego's La Gran Tapa. La Gran Tapa provided a great space to shoot - mirrors, a bar, awesome couches, an alley, and even a bathroom to shoot in (see the picture below for the bathroom comment).

How Photography Connects Us
Photography is an awesome tool to document your world. It's there to capture your baby's birth, your achievements, your adventures, and your LIFE. Every click of the shutter stops time that allows you relive that moment and tell the story to another. Check out this TED video that tells, "How Photography Connects Us?" Enjoy!
A Visual Life - Some thought on Inspiration
Inspiration comes in many forms. Inspiration can come from a feeling, a smell, your surroundings, a thought, an action, a reaction.
Inspiration also comes at different times - when you are busy, when you working, when you are relax, whenever....
Inspiration can also hide from you. When you search for it, it doesn't show, it doesn't want to be found. Finding inspiration sometimes can just be a frustrating journey of nothingness and feeling of lost.
The most important thing to understand about inspiration is that it is there and that the best happen when you least expect it. So don't stop if it doesn't come just continue the pace of life and see what develops. Just let it happen!
As photographers, live a visual life.
