Compensation: I kinda dont know what compensation means, so yes, i can be stupid
This is a part-time job.
This is a contract job.
This is an internship job
OK for recruiters to contact this job poster.
Phone calls about this job are ok.
You may contact job poster about other services, products or commercial interests.

OK, so you are a High School student and you have no clue what "compensation" means? Uhhhm, WTF? Here is a hint, open up another browser window ( browser is that thing on your computer that shows you web pages ) and go to the following link ( link is the address of the website ( website is what your browser is showing you ): http://www.dictionary.com. Be carefull, although the user interface ( the design and general layout of the website ) is fairly easy, take your time and become familiar with it. Once you feel comfortable, type in "compensation" and read what the definition say. If you have a hard time following these directions, ask a kindergarten kid, they might know. In the meantime, my personal advice to you is to give up on your dreams and get a job as a parking lot attendant ( but bring your calculator or insist on exact change ) OR take Grade and High School over again.
Has the educational system in America failed us completely or is this a rare find?
Imagine, that one day this kid would have to learn what an aperture is, or a seam on a dress. Perhaps college can fix that. LOL

I AM SO HAPPPPPPPPPYYYYY !!!!!!!

Folks, a lot of good things have been happening lately. My booking have been increasing exponentially. I love you all and most of all, I love photography and I guess it shows because I was nominated for one of the top photographers in Milwaukee in WISN's A-List. Today, I finally made it into the top four. People have spoken. There are many photographers who do wonderful work and we have our own style and unique approach to business which makes this recognition even that much more a happy thing. If I worked with you before, you know what made you choose me and what makes you keep coming back, so if you haven't done so already, please vote for Seville Media Photography at :

Although that 4th place is vulnerable, I hope to stay on and possibly advance, but just in case, I took a screen shot:



I also shot my first wedding at the prestigious Calatrava addition of the Milwaukee Art Museum. Congratulations to Keyia and Scott, you make a beautiful couple and your family and guests are a step above the rest. Pics will be available soon at Milwaukee Wedding Photo but if you want, look at my opening page of this site and see the first of the bridal portraits set as the background image.
Cheers to all of you who have so far supported me.

WOW !!!!!!!!!

Wow, I don't think I've had a bussier week then the last one. That in itself is good but it icluded two 24 hour marathons. I love it though, it's unbelievable how much I feed off of photography. When you can do something that you love so much, life is one big vacation. Last weekend, I brought in Michelle for a test, recommended by a friend, I found her to be amazing. As a dancer, she has the fluidity of movement as well as creative poses that rival that of some of the top pro model I was blessed enough to work with. Great eyes, what do you think?

Awesome Gallery Night

Special thanks to all of you who came out to my Gallery Night Opening this past weekend. Thank you to all the model who took part in my Girl With a Cello exhibit, the people loved the pictures ( or at least they said they did :-) ).
For those who missed it, fear not. Although these prints look so much better when looking at them live, you can see them on my artsy website at iLoveEastSide.com in gallery 3.
What's up for the next gallery night in November? No idea...well, I have few which pretty much leaves my mind unmade as of this writing so that pretty much amounts to "no idea".
Also, in case you didn't know, I am also shooting for The Milwaukee Scene. Check this place out. We cover the life in Milwaukee. Their forums are next to none and a great bunch of regulars and visitors make this place what it is. You can find out about all the things going on in this city from or detailed calendar of events, view reviews of places and most important, see the galleries to find out what went on where.

natural light, how do I love thee

I did a portfolio shoot this past weekend and while shooting under a bridge, a car stopped and the guy driving it, invited us to come and shoot at his bar. Thank you Paul of Hot Water. Sometimes, being nice to strangers completely pays off. His place is totally awesome with old time decour but spacey enough and tastefully decorated. Check it out at . They have everything from Salsa nights to dance lessons, to whole bunch of other fun stuff that I still need to talk to Paul about when I go give him the pictures. One thing though, what a nice guy. Best part, I saw right away an opportunity to get some great shots using available light only. No strobes, no nothing, just pure good old fashioned daylight, painting the model and the great interior.Thanks again. Picture below, Kasia, relaxing at Hot Water.

props

Those of you who had the chance to shoot with me know that I'm not big on using props. In general, I think they take away from the aesthetic look of the picture and clutter the frame with unnecessary elements. BUT, I am not opposed to them if used minimally OR if they highlight the subject. With that in mind, I found this pair of goggles that caught my interest and was dying to put them to good use to see how the concept would look. There will be more pictures that will feature them but for now, I took advantage of a wind down time after my last commercial shoot and forced the model at a lens point to put them on. I said "slap these on and go like this", thus making a goofy face that tried to explain the expression I wanted to see. Yes, sometimes I lack the words so I try to show the poses, which is usually met wit a burst of laughter. Not sure why, but what the heck. Anyway, here is lovely Mandie in the goggle shot.

pregnant

No, not me, a friend of mine, one of my former models, decided to have a baby and had me do her maternity photos. Here is one sample :-)
