Freezing Photos
Finally, after finding what I've been chasing most my life, I'm willing to dedicate my time, effort, and comfort to achieving this dream. The dream of becoming one of the most well known filmmakers in the world. This goal in mind, I'm 19, broke, living with my parents, trying to run a company, not going to college, and working a job that I gotta do to make money (stereotypical story you hear from any aspiring dreamer). With my dedication I've managed to say "F#$% You" to my excuses, and push as hard as I can at this ambition. This film above, Garred and I captured these videos about 20 minutes each, along with the three hours of taking pictures. Each clip in the video had to be redone, due to me messing up on my organic transitions. So we had to go back to each street corner to capture them twice over. The reason why this is relevant to pushing limits is because in the middle of filming it began to snow, as it had snowed earlier that same day. In the first shot you can actually see the snow fall; if you look closely enough.

Passion Fruit
My name is Krenar. I am a 25-year-old Aries male. As you can tell from my picture, I am a photographer. I wasn’t always though. It had found me in my darkest moment. Before having a passion for anything I was a lifeless zombie 🧟♂️ constantly working for who knows what reason. I worked and worked and worked countless jobs for a reason I can’t even begin to explain; maybe there was no reason, maybe I was just working because it was what I was supposed to do from societies standpoint. I had worked over 25 to 30 different jobs from the age of 16 until now, at 25. It is a considerable amount of moving around. I was trying to look for a place to set my feet down permanently, but just felt so out of place. The reason for this was the fruit I would find later in my journey of growth. To say who I am is a dreamer and an optimist. I try to look for unknowingly talented individuals and encourage them with the best of my energy to get them moving to where I know they will be. I got lost at some point in my life, add a few more wrong turns, and finally, I am here writing to you. So, the worst moment of my life—and I’m sure that it was for many of you as well—is when you find out what that wall is that’s hurting you and blocking you from your final goal, destination, finish line, etc. Mine was battling myself and fighting the fact that I was a spectator and observer. Rather than accepting this at an early age, instead I rebelled against our more intelligent intuition (gut feeling) to have more experience in my own personal development, which so heavily weighted on my being. I am grateful for all I have gone through, but as we all wish for, less heartache would be better. I had lost everything I had built multiple times. Four to be exact. My car, girlfriend, social life, job/career, and another piece of my soul withered away from each experience. I had felt as if my soul was being withered away from my existence.

Art Is Evolutionary
Seven years ago I started taking photography classes in high school, not knowing the amazing skills I would eventually learn and the type of work I would start making. Originally from San Diego California, I moved to Williamsburg, Virginia when I was about 6-years-old. I remember being fairly young going to the Filipino cultural center with my grandparents where I would go around taking photos of everyone at the parties they so often had on a Polaroid my grandparents gave me. I would then sell the candid snapshots for a dollar and make bank at the end of the night and cash out at “Toys’ r Us” the next day... specifically on “Ben 10” action figures.

5 Challenges that Beginner Photographers Face
1. Not Being Original All of us look up to someone in a certain career/ interest. Although it is perfectly fine to look up to those people, never copy their ideas. When you see a picture on Instagram from your favorite photographer, don't take the exact same picture from the exact same angle. Be unique and follow your own path.

The 4 Best Subscription Printing Services for Photographers

10 Ways to Take Great Pictures at Night
Nighttime is my time. It's when I come alive. It's when I can go out at night without worry that my aversion to the sun and the people that walk in it will force me back into my home. It's a time when party animals come out to play, where peoples' personalities seem to blossom, and most importantly, when the world just seems to glitter a little bit more beautifully under the glow of thousands of twinkling lights.
