***Always Looking for Martial Artists for Photo & Video, Message Me!***
"Being different is the easy part, being BETTER is where the challenge lies."
I've been into photography for as long as I could remember... being intrigued by the notion of capturing a single moment in time that's almost impossible of being recreated.
My name is Anesti. I am a photographer that has found my niche in martial arts photography, but like to shoot almost anything. I have an unorthodox and eclectic style and I like models that represent a similar style. If you look like a Barbie doll... great! You'll probably do well in the mainstream, but I'm probably not interested in working with you.
My photography is part of a multimedia company that I own that caters to the creative community. So anyone involved in this industry; models, makeup artists or even other photographers... if you need any promotional stuff like a website or graphics or even a promo video put together, visit my website,
www.elamintal.com, and let me know how we can help eachother.
I also have a skilled makeup artist and stylist available at most shoots, as schedules permit.
If I have sent you a friend request, it means I admire your work. If I left a comment and/or put your photo on one of my lists, I probably want to work with you.
I frequently visit New Orleans, LA and Greece... so if you live in those areas, let me know as I'd like to keep you up to date as to when I'll be there.
I also work in film and television as a director, cinematographer and fight choreographer. You can find more information on all that at:
www.anesti.net
As far as compensation, I'm always interested in bartering... especially since I understand money is tight for everyone in today's economy. So if you have something of interest to me or have the hookup somewhere... concerts, free stuff, anything like that; just drop me a line and we'll see what we can work out. I'm pretty flexible so let me know.
My photo & video work has been featured and/or mentioned in numerous websites and publications. Most of my work can be seen on my website at
www.elamintal.com.
