Eventful
I had the opportunity to cover Assemblyman Upendra Chivukula’s fundraiser dinner as a second photographer alongside Mr. Francis Lacson. Being my first political shoot I was a bit nervous but also excited in capturing the evening in detail. Given the lighting conditions, using a 50mm lens was sufficient most of the time, though I switched […]

Boom Boom Pow.
It’s been officially summer for me for the past 20 or so days. Now the question you must be asking yourself is why I haven’t updated the blog lately. In a sense I’ve been busy or so spending time with the family, sleeping in, attempting to go to the gym, or if not that, traveling […]

Counting Sheep.
So, you must be wondering why in the world I would be awake at seven in the morning on a Saturday. I guess you can take it one or two ways. A) Luke is an insomniac, or B) Luke has something on his mind. If you said A or B, you’re right because the answer […]

Rutgers Ballroom: Dancesport
I had the pleasure of being a secondary photographer alongside John Richard Pena and Bryan Angeles about a week for the Ballroom Dancesport competition hosted by Rutgers at the College Avenue Gym. Unlike other dance events I have covered, this was the first time I shot subjects that were constantly moving around the floor. “But […]

70-200
Not to much to say here. Just two great people to work with and it has always been a pleasure working alongside these two. Mr. Bryan Angeles & Mr. John Richard Pena. Okay…I lied. Some food for thought: They say a man is known by the company he keeps, but they never say a man […]

Fresh it up.
A little update on life. As you can see there’s been quite a bit of activity here @ lukeoverhere.com outside of blogging. I’ve been in a process of restructuring and reorganizing the site. Everything else has been just hectic especially with school responsibilities and what not. However, expect more from me as my schedule frees […]

Heat it up.
I had the pleasure of shooting Fordham’s Expressions Dance Alliance in their performance: Heat this friday and saturday. Working with the lighting was tricky as usual since stage lighting changes constantly. Overall I really was able to get the shots I wanted and it was a pleasure working with all of them. It was actually […]

Symmetrical
Symmetrical. Simple, clean and can convey an image of uniformity. Or is that really the case? Maybe the beauty of it is being able to capture the essence of nature. Though one may argue this is not exactly nature I’m capturing, but merely an industrialized, concrete jungle of sorts. Does the industrial/commercial look somehow […]

Flash! Boom. Bam!
Off camera flash, a la Strobist give the ability to turn a good photo into a great photo. Well, at least that’s my opinion of my shots from the Flash Dance Competition at Seton Hall on Saturday. JR Pena asked me to help cover this event along side him, and of course I was more than willing to […]
