My name is Eric Arteaga and I am a self taught photographer. I’m not too sure what set off my interest in photography. I just kind of picked up a camera one day and never looked back. I started out shooting a lot of cars at local racetracks and car meets until one day I realized I had no idea how to take pictures of people. I slowly started shooting with friends and people I met on Instagram and it slowly took off from there. Although it took of rather quickly, it stopped just as quick. I didn’t really shoot for about a year, but recently decided to try and take it serious. This shoot in the FD Art 4 stage was kind of my return.For this shoot with Elvira we wanted to do something intimate, but not too sexy if there was ever such a thing. I love shooting with Elvira because she is so versatile. We quickly got the shots I was looking for but she brought so many clothes that we just kept trying different looks that we threw together from whatever she had. It seemed to work out in our favor.
Stage Art 4, used for this shoot, is notorious for the high-key white industrial design. It has also been recently adorned with wooden floor section and a wall veneer as well as portable blinds, made of dark wood slats. The latest upgrade the stage received was a nice looking cozy egg like chair and a STAR illuminating across its shape! As any of our stages, Art 4 comes equipped with 3 strobe lights and modifiers as well as backdrop paper of black, white and grey color.
