2010 – The year of video?
DP Reel Angelo Lorenzo 2009 from Angelo Lorenzo on Vimeo.
After weathering 2009 with only a few photo assignments, I've decided to concentrate my energies more towards video. My production company, Alexander Film Co., is in the midst of working on a few commercials and short films. We've developed a TV show that we're currently seeking an agent for, and we hope to snag a feature film before the end of the year. I'm feeling a little more hopeful about 2010.
Light Reflectors for Photographers
Many beginning photographers shy away from reflectors because the difference they make isn't as readily apparent as setting up more lighting. The article below highlights some of their finishes and sizes as an introduction to their usefulness.

Hollywood Zombiewalk
I had the chance on September 30th to come down to Grauman's Chinese Theater for an advanced screening of the horror comedy Zombieland. But of course, the only true way to enjoy a zombie movie is to dress up like one. My apologies for the staleness of the story, these images were originally suppose to appear on the blog of a local lifestyle magazine here in LA, but they never used them.
Roadside Crosses
I have a strange fascination with roadside crosses. This particular cross had been posted up about two blocks away from the hospital in Simi Valley, CA with no indication of when or for whom.
Photographed with a Canon A35 rangefinder and some Kodak Gold film beautifully ruined by the 1 hour photo machine at CVS.
To Write Love on Her Arms
In late 2008 and early 2009 I created a number of portraits on spec to be used as marketing material for the charity To Write Love on Her Arms. I had been in love with TWLOHA and the work they did, and I thought it would be a good idea to raise my profile by raising theirs. Accounting mostly for poor communication (I was never able to get in touch with any art or marketing director), I don't think many people, including those at TWLOHA, are aware of these shots. Posted below are the four lovely ladies I photographed before I cut the project in January of 2009.
Special thanks to Brooks Ayola for the inspiration on the lighting setup.
Turning the Lights On: How Can Adobe Lightroom Fit into Your Workflow?
"Lets face it, Adobe Lightroom is still the most misunderstood of Adobe's software offerings. Can it replace Photoshop? Should it? Can it enhance your workflow with Photoshop? ... Adobe Lightroom at its core is a photo database management tool.

Dirty and Dusty Camera? Clean Your Camera Bag!
"Photographers can be meticulous about cleaning their lenses and cameras but neglect their camera bag. You grab your camera bag and open it up just to notice dust and dirt all over your gear. How did it get there? Your camera bag can harbor latent dust and dirt trapped in its
fabric and crevices. This dust can end up on your camera, lenses, and other equipment, or settle near the lens mount to get sucked onto your sensor. Cleaning your camera gear shouldn't be a chore, and a dirty camera bag only ensures you'll have to more often."
