A Look into the Future!!!

2012 is going to be amazing! As a photographer I am always thinking about how I can get "out of the box" in photography technique and in entrepreneurship as well. I look at how far we have come in these 3 years of business and am believing for consistency in the increase we have experienced. A desire of mine has been to open up a vineyard side of Ballesteros Photography. In such a prime location for that industry, I desire to fill in the void for vineyards where there is a lack. This may mean; bottle photography, Staff photos, Seasonal library's of scenic etc...whatever the need, I'll find it and get ready to offer a great service! As far as technique...I think I'm done looking around at other photographers work! We did a bridal fair a few months ago and as I walked around the booths I realized that everyone's worked looked the same. I realize that our style really offers something different and new. I've been looking at my own stuff lately to discover what makes me set apart. What I think that pattern is is this: Powerful lighting techniques, unique composition and story concepts. Also I notice that I tend to lean towards a cleaner look. I also am getting a real passion for sun soaked organic stuff as well. Between these two areas I am excited at the progress we've been seeing in our technique. 2012 brings our first international clients. This is going to really open up some amazing doors! I'm going to push for a higher production engagement session this next year as well. A lot stronger visual impact and full body concepts. I'd like to see a computer upgrade and get Kari getting on a Cannon 7d. Other than that. I think it's going to be steady and all about expanding out to vineyards with time left over. I am so honored to have a place in this exciting and inspiring industry. www.ballesterosphotography.com
