Boudoir_Pinup_Photography - Boudoir Photographer - Boudoir_Pinup_Party

pauljordan222 — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 05:26:42 +0000

As a professional photographer, I have to confess, Boudoir Photography is one of the most fun photo shoot I could ever ask for.More and more clients have been asking me to have their boudoir photo shoot session. Some of them want to do it to surprise their husbands, some want to surprise their boyfriends or fiancé, and for my surprise a lot of them like to do the shoot with few friends.

We call it “Boudoir and Pinup Party”, where 4 or 5 girls would spend few hours having their makeup done by a professional makeup artist and having some amazing and sensual pictures taken by a professional photographer - Sure it wouldn’t be a “Party” without some wine, snacks and some really great music to help setting up the mood.

The Boudoir and Pinup Party, it is so cool and fun that the girls don’t feel the pressure of showing their body.

Here are some more images…

Print Competition - Portrait - Photography

pauljordan222 — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 08:19:07 +0000

One of the best feedback that a Photographer can have of his art work is when he or she enters his or her work in a Print Competition.

Last Week, PPGF (a South Florida guild for professional photographers) hosted their Second 2010 Print Competition. This time we had our print competition together with the Palm Beaches Guild.

It was a great night with so many great images.

I was planing to enter four of my prints on this competition, but few weeks ago the external hard drive where I save my files crashed. I was lucky enough for having saved 2 of my images in another drive 2 months ago, so I could show them to another photographer friend of my.

Before I show you the images, I want to take this time to thank this photographer, friend of mine, Julie Hughes. Two months ago she came from her Professional Guild in Palm Beach to help our guild members in how to improve our chances in print competitions. Thanks!!!

Here are the results …

This print won 1st Prize for Portrait,

and this one won 1st Prize for Pictorial Portrait, 1st Prize Over All, and also Best in Show…

I know I have a long way to go until I can run my pictures in a national level, but I am getting there.

Scott Kelby - 2010 Worldwide Photowalk - Miami Fort Laudedale

pauljordan222 — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 06:38:14 +0000

Hi Everyone, this is Paulo Jordao. Welcome to another great WorldWide Photowalk.

If you noticed, I’ve just posted my Photo Walk Location today - 3 days before the walk.

I’ve organized 4 Photowalks on my own and helped Scott on his 2008 and 2009 Worldwide Photo Walk. I’ve always set up my walk with 5 to 8 weeks in advance, and one thing that I’ve learned is that all my other Photo walks, I had to turn people down because our sign up list got full on the 2 first days (6 weeks before the walk) and at the end some people that signed up wouldn’t show up because they had other plans.

I have to agree that a good location is very important to a successful Photowalk, but the most important thing in a Photo Walk is the GROUP and its leader.

This Photowalk will start at 9:30am at South Beach Park (A1A - Seabreeze Blvd. - couple blocks south of Las Olas Blvd) and end around 11:00am.

We will walk on the east side of the street (Side walk and Beach) walking north on A1A.

After few blocks we will cross A1A, walking back on the west side of the street until we find a nice place to sit down and have some drinks and or food.

It is very hot outside, so… don’t bring heavy gear - One camera and a good lens are more than enough

Please… Only sign up if you are sure you’re coming.

Let’s have some fun!!!

SFPVA - South Florida Professional Video Artist Association

pauljordan222 — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 05:15:39 +0000

Few years ago I joined a GROUP of Videographers here in Broward (SFPVA - South Florida Professional Video Artist Association). We have our meetings every third Wednesday of the month at 1700 NW 66 Ave Suite 100 Plantation, FL 33313.I have to say, once again, that that I am impressed with our president (Danny). He always works extra hard to make sure that every month we have more and more Professional Videographers (VIDEO ARTIST) coming to our meetings.

This week we had a group of more than 40 people that came to watch Ray Roman’s Presentation… He did an amazing job with his presentation and answering all the questions. Ray is one of the many talented Video Artists living here in South Florida, and it was a pleasure to have him there with us.

I also promised everybody that I would post some of the images that I shot of our meeting.

Thanks, everybody…

Anniversary Photography - Event Photographer - Arif and Parveen

pauljordan222 — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 03:46:19 +0000

It’s not a secret how much I love to photograph weddings and how happy the bride and groom look at their special day. But, what does happen to that couple after few years of marriage?

This week, I had the pleasure to be the photographer of Arif and Parveen 20th Anniversary. It was amazing to see how happy they were at he party…, I felt like I was shooting their wedding.

They celebrated their 20th anniversary at Bombay Grill (Indian Restaurant - 4465 North University Dr. Lauderhill, FL 33351) with their family and friends.

The owner of Bombay Grill, Paul Rungta, is an amazing person. He did a great job in arranging the new banquet hall to host the Anniversary Party for Arif and Parveen. Mr. Rungta made sure the food was excellent.

The DJ, Zafar Mithavayani, made the whole event very entertaining. He played Indian music and everyone had a great time dancing.

If you want to check all the images from their Anniversary, CLICK HERE.

Congratulations Arif and Parveen!

Soccer Skills Summer Training

pauljordan222 — Wed, 12 May 2010 19:59:14 +0000

Most of people know me as Wedding and Portrait Photographer, but I also have Bachelor in Physical Education and Master Degree in Sports and Training.

As a parent of a 6 years old boy and as a soccer coach, I want my son to keep practicing soccer during the summer vacation.

Some parents have asked me if I would coach their child too, and I thought it would be a great idea if we could get together and practice at least once a week.

Our training sessions will be held every Wednesday from 5:30pm to 7:00pm (June, July and August - City of Hollywood, Florida).

Miami Photography - Trash the Dress - Photography Workshop

pauljordan222 — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 16:47:39 +0000

Hi, my name is Paulo Jordao - http://www.paulojordao.com, and I am a international Photographer (Weddings and Fine Art Portraits) living in South Florida.

Last Sunday I had an amazing experience with one of my Workshops “Trash the Dress - Light and Location”, for Photographers from Miami - Fort lauderdale - Palm Beaches.

I had checked the location twice before I started marketing this Workshop. It is was a beautiful small park just south of Fort Lauderdale International Airport.

For this Workshop, I Had 19 Photographers, 12 models and 4 Makeup Artists - I also want to enjoy this post to thank all them for their amazing professionalism and beautiful job.

We had 3″ of rain that afternoon and most of people would think that we would not have the courage to go ahead with our schedule, but I am glad we did.

Here are few images of that day, let me know what you think.

Brazil - Larissa’s Birthday and Family Portrait

pauljordan222 — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 04:00:52 +0000

This week I had the honor shooting a family portrait session at Jaime Camara Jr. and Maria Alice’s ranch (an amazing place with features more impressive than most houses that I know). Jaime and Maria Alice are one the most respected couples of the State of Goias and Brazil.

I started the family portrait session at 5:00 pm, and shot until their son lost interest helping me. LOL! But, I had more than 90 minutes with Marcelo, Fernanda and their son, Francisco, and we had so many great shots that it was hard to select only few images to post here.

After the session, I stayed there to shoot Larissa’s birthday party (Jaime and Maria Alice’s daughter). Larissa, Juliano (her husband) and Felipe (her son) are a great example of a beautiful Brazilian family.

It was a very selective party for her family and closest friends, and everybody were very casual and friendly.

I want to enjoy this post to thank Larissa for having me at her wonderful birthday, and also congratulate her on her pregnancy.

Since I couldn’t bring all my gear from USA to Brazil, I did my best to work with as much available light as possible.

Here are few samples of that day…
