More and more friends and family are running to their favorite camera stores and buying digital SLR cameras. I get calls every so often about friends wanting to learn how to use it. In digital photography, there is a bit of a learning curve but it’s not rocket science. A couple hours of explanation and practical application and you’d be ready to rock that dSLR camera.
I will be holding a workshop early 2010 (maybe some time in March) and I will teach you the basics of exposure, what those program modes (M, P, Av, Tv, S, etc) mean and how and when to use them. We’ll also talk a bit about lighting and whatever else you want to discuss, time permitting. By the end of the workshop you will know YOUR camera and be in command. Seats will be limited so if you’re interested, contact me right away.
Feel free to drop me a note at photos@rengiemendoza.com if you’re interested. If there’s enough interest out there we might be able to make it earlier than March.
What are you waiting for, the eclipse?
It’s always a treat taking photos with couples as low key as DK and Ria. I had such a great time in this shoot and I can’t wait for your wedding next year.














A day after John and Maureen’s wedding I second shot for Jon at Eric and Kirsten’s Wedding at the Westridge Country Club in La Habra.
Special thanks to Jon of 33rd way Productions for having me as the second shooter. As tired as I am from the previous day’s wedding, I had a great time shooting.
Geek Note: This set is processed using the beta version of Adobe Lightroom 3. Enjoy!






















Congrats to John and Maureen!!! And thank you for the privilege of shooting your wedding. Have fun on your honeymoon in Hawaii and see you in a couple of weeks!!!

For the past 2 months I’ve been gearing up for this couple’s wedding. I have tons of ideas which are mostly inspired by my favorite wedding photographers – Sam Hassas and Tony Hoffer.
Here’s a few from the E-Session last June. See you guys on Friday!





September 26, 2009 – It was a fun photoshoot with Robert and the gang at Barnsdall Park in Hollywood. The sun was a little harsh but we managed to get in the shade and shot away. I had a blast shooting this bunch. Here’s some from the set:




Last Saturday was Rene & Noresa Oco’s 18th year wedding anniversary held at the Agupitan’s. Looking at this couple, you wouldn’t think they’re married for that long… They simply look like they’re in their early 20’s. It was a fun night… food, drinks and Guesstures…



Last weekend I went for a 90-mile drive to Murrieta, CA and shot Marites – a long time friend – and her kids, Sophia and Darren. The kids were so not in the mood to take any pictures and I only managed to squeeze a few shots.



Just finished a big shoot with a good friend and awesome Fashion Designer, Emily Francisco. After a whole month of going back and forth on the planning, we ended up shooting at Studio 1112 in Hollywood. We were supposed to to shoot in the woods of South Pasadena, but it was red-flagged due to the fires so we had to look for an available studio in less than 12 hours b efore the call time. Todd from Studio 1112 was nice enough to accommodate is in such late notice. Awesome awesome studio…
Everyone in the team did a great job. Here are the results…
