Rockstar Shot Of Maribell

Sometimes just one shot is all it takes to project undeniable power energy, especially if it is amplified by the rock star power pose that model Maribell has conquered us with.

A snippet of model’s story:

“Hey I’m Maribell a aspiring model from New York. I’m 19 with a lot of creativity in my head. As a model I don’t like to just take pictures I like to create a image. A image that speaks for itself . A image that gives you a type of vibe . Yes I style myself , I do my own makeup , think of every idea from head to toe. I’m so glad finally there’s a place where I can get creative in New York! I saw studio 4 from one of my favorite photographers his name on Instagram is “MisterBo0se”. When I saw it I instantly created an image in my head . This image was exactly what I created in my head. I came up with the entire look in my head because of the way the studio looked! I couldn’t be more happy of the outcome from FD studio can’t wait to go back and create more images. ”

Become Better Photographer: Fighting the Fog with David Bergman

*For more information visit AdoramaTV YT page, and of course you can keep up with David on Instagram and Twitter @DavidBergman. LATEST UPDATE: David opened up new IGTV episodes where you can ask him questions live! find out more at http://www.AskDavidBergman.com

Sudden change of temperature can significantly jeopardize your photo shoot, since the air moisture inside your camera lens will fog up the glass completely, leaving little to nothing to be done about it after. In this episode with photographer David Bergman and AdoramaTV, we explore several ways to remedy this “foggy situation”.

David shares: “once that lens is covered in condensation there’s really not much you can do besides wait it out. You can try to use a microfiber cloth to wipe down the glass but the odds are that your lens is going to immediately fog back up again! By the way do not use your shirt, or something like a napkin, because you might scratch your lens, and that’s a really bad thing.”

“Also if the internal glass elements are fogged up then there’s really nothing you can do about it anyway. Give it some time and eventually your gear will acclimate to the weather and be just fine. It could take five minutes or could take an hour, so be prepared to wait.”

“So what you really want to do is prevent your lens from fogging in the first place. The key is to give your gear time to acclimate to the change in weather. So if you’re in a hotel for example, leave it outside of the room, away from the air-conditioning, for thirty minutes before you want to go out. Make sure you open your camera bag so that you don’t block the air flow.”

“Of course if it’s not safe to leave your bag outside, you could turn off the AC in the room and open the windows. If you’re in your car, leave the camera in your trunk or roll down the windows and just enjoy the fresh air. At the end of the day prevention is the key here. Plan ahead and you’ll be able to see clearly enough to make beautiful shots in any weather. “
