Fotography of the Day | DC in Motion

DC in Motion is a new photography project i began a few months ago with the purpose to learn a new shooting technique. While i do not know for how long this project will go on, and what i will do with it as i continue to move forward into my photography career, what i can tell you is to expect plenty of more DC in Motion photos!!

the start of this project began with one simple trial and error shot. While i understood the concept of panning photography, i never really have gone out to attempt it. I knew what what it required as far as settings and subject matter, but deep down i did not know how i would approach it from an idea point of view. Where did i want to go with it, and what did i want to portray. I didn't just want to take photos of moving objects just for the heck of it, i actually wanted to tell a story behind one of the busiest and most powerful city in the United States. The people, neighborhoods, and history of DC have really shaped what this project is all about.

Now while this project is in its early beginnings, i am proud of the subjects and story boards the photos are creating for my project, and i hope to be able to expand and capture more of the beauty and of course the busy fast pace life that is living in DC.

Fotography Of The Day | People Series

If you love people watching, then this is the post for you!! haha.. A long time ago i started a People of the DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia) series. Ive stated in the past that night photography is my favorite kind of photography, well i would have say that candid and street shots would have to be my second favorite. Since most of the time I'm harassing family and friends with my camera, i find that capturing moments of life at its most spontaneous is really refreshing and rewarding to me. Especially here in the tri-state area where there are so many people from so many different parts of the world that makes the DMV really the biggest melting pot in the U.S.

Here is a small sample from some of my DMV People Series photos.
