    PHOTOGRAPHERS
    Manuel
    My name is Manuel Rascon and I am professional photographer that focuses in portrait, real estate and commercial photography.
    I enjoy photographing people and getting to know them in just a few minutes in order to get out the best out of them during the photography session.
    I learn photography by conventional training at the SLCC during my film days and then moved over to digital where I graduated from Art Institute. I also worked amongst other photographers, where I really dug into where my passion took me and eventually developed a style that keeps getting better with practice and continuous execution of the craft.

    For a while I've wanted to take night photos in Yellowstone. With grizzlies and other predators lurking about require caution. I told a friend that this was the first time we could be killed doing photography. I'm glad it worked out.

    Title or Location: This Still Life Photograph of "Grapes, Strawberry's and Wine" was taken in my bedroom in Orange County California.
    This image is a Still Life Composition of "Berries, Wine and Grapes" that I created on a rainy day in my bedroom. I used no fancy Studio Lighting at all. My only light source was a hand-held flashlight that I kept moving rapidly. It was an experiment in Light Painting when I couldn't go outside to shoot.
