Michael Abrams NYC Trained as a theatrical lighting designer, Michael Abrams, brings his talent from the stage to the camera by seeing the "whole" picture. With his specific use of light and shadow, Michael creates not just a photograph but more of an artistic capture of his subjects. Michael's main goal in each of his sessions is to make everyone feel comfortable and at ease (and maybe have a little fun in the process!). "Stiff and boring" is not in his vocabulary.
www.MAbramsPhoto.com
By trade I am a theatrical lighting designer, so I got a film camera to document the shows that I designed. In, 2005 I wanted to make some extra money, so I bought a camera to take pictures of theatrical shows. But that didn't pan out. I started to go on different model sites and then it started from there.
Lighting. Lighting is everything.
Respect! When you respect the model it makes for an easier and fun shoot.
I guess I am more of "on the fly" kind of guy. I have a general idea of what I want and then go for it. Especially when doing outside shoots, you never know what kind of lighting you are going to have so you have to adapt to the constant changing situation.
Since I shoot in RAW, I use Camera Raw, then head to Photoshop and then if necessary, use Portrait Professional.
Photographically, I want to be able to continue and grow and produce the best images I can for models and non-models. Personally, I just want to live old and be happy doing what I love
Don't give up. Just keep doing what you love and it will start to pay off. Facebook.com/mabramsnyc

What is Beauty? Writer and Model of this article Angel Beth
My Grandma used to always tell me that I should always try and match my underwear and bra. Even if it’s not a perfect match, try and make sure that whatever my “under-roos” are, that they are ones that I really like and feel good in. No one may actually see them but me, but it doesn’t matter because it will improve my self-confidence.
minute lunch period. I took those periods to not go into the “break room” but sit outside. If the sun was shining, I had my favorite bench that I always laid on. I would lay down, close my eyes, and just let the sun warm me and the wind dance across my skin. It always allowed the stressors of the day to lessen slightly enough to make me feel better. If it was raining, there was this one wall I stood There are so many little things that you can do on against and I would just lean and think and watch a daily basis to improve how you feel about the grey clouds drop their own weight down. yourself. I work as a writer and am a mom. I’m at home and many days, no one but my family sees Another vital ingredient to building your me. After a few days of walking around in pjs or confidence is your body language. Despite how sweatpants, I notice that my confidence begins to you feel, don’t show it. There is a time to cry and shake a bit. It is important that every day, no it’s essential to get that pain out. BUT, you can’t matter what your plans, that you get up and walk around carrying your heavy load everywhere actually get dressed as if you will be having you go. Find a place for your worries and leave company or entertaining. them there. Think about it this way. Every worry you have is a stone. A few worries can get quite I know what you’re thinking, “you’re crazy, why heavy if carried around with you everywhere you am I going to spend 30 minutes on makeup and go. Leave your worries at home, or at the office, hair and get into a dress if I’m sitting on the or wherever they are meant to be and walk couch that day?” Well, you don’t have to go standing tall, not slumped over like you have the through your entire routine, but even on the world on your back.

It doesn’t matter if you’re going to be making out with a hottie or not, brush your teeth, wash your face, and apply deodorant. There are many other things that can really make a difference. Go outside every day. 10 minutes minimum. The vitamins offered by God’s nature are just not replicated with supplements. Go to the source yourself. There is also something extremely soothing about the outdoors. Even if you’re a city girl, being outside and not contained in the stresses our walls hold is more than exhilarating for your soul. Even new moms are suggested to step outside and breathe in the fresh air when over whelmed by a crying newborn. The outdoors will do something for your confidence that you will feel immediately. I used to work for a huge bank and even for them, I wrote.

Know who your friends are. This is so important. Not every person in your life needs to know what you are going through. Everyone has their own problems. Every single person. No matter what you think, there is not one human being on the planet who doesn’t have a couple worry stones lying around. They all do. So, keep your conversations about yours to a few or even only one special person that you trust and love. Everyone else, they don’t need to know. What happens is, you know that they know things about your life and when they look at you and you can see that in their eyes, it pulls you down. We all need someone to confide in, we are human and are built with that need. But it will wreck you if the entire world knows everything you have on your plate at all times. Maybe you’re thinking “But Angel Beth, I didn’t tell them, they know because of this and that”. That’s fine. It doesn’t mean that you have to talk about it all the time. It doesn’t mean you have to show up looking beaten down. No matter how tough life gets, hold your head up and act strong. Leave your weak moment, and we all have them, for the right place, the right time, and with the right person.
can be your enemy. I know we are our own worst critic. BUT, we are also, besides God, the ONLY person that we will always have in every moment of our lives. No one, but God and you, can be there with you all the time. And if you don’t believe in God as do, than all you have is you. So, knowing this, you HAVE to be able to find something, no matter how small to love about yourself. Something that makes you different and special. Many times that traits we hate most about yourself, end up being some of our best attributes.
Building your confidence takes time. And many times we are slowed by having poisonous people in our lives. Think about that one long and hard. Do you have someone in your life that drags you down? Someone who makes you feel bad about yourself? Maybe they offer back handed compliments. You know the kind, the ones that sound like a compliment but are actually a huge insult. Maybe they just add undue drama to your life or maybe they frequently put you into situations that you later regret. Like a bad influence possibly. Maybe they always have something negative This reminds me of a book my 7 to say or always try to show you year old son read recently. It up. Sound familiar? If you have was about a little girl who people in your life like this, you fostered puppies. This little girl are not helping yourself. You are struggled through the book with hurting yourself. You choose a certain trait about herself. She who you allow in your life. Put was outspoken and frequently distance between yourself and blurted out her opinion, even these people. Don’t take poison when it wasn’t asked of her. This on purpose. Don’t slowly kill caused trouble in her life and your confidence. she tried to just keep her opinions to herself and so she closed up. By the end of the book she learned that this trait was actually a beautiful quality and made her a strong leader. She just had to learn to control it and use it correctly. The one thing she hated about herself was what was going to make her incredible. Take a minute to think about the things you don’t BELIEVE IN YOURSELF! I have like about yourself. Do you really so many people come to me need to change these things? and tell me that they are Maybe you do and maybe you worthless. That they have just need disciple and nothing to offer. That there is perseverance to get there. Like nothing good about them. In quitting smoking for example. none of these times did I But maybe you just need to struggle to spit out a handful of learn to use your trait properly, great qualities that made these like the little girl in my son’s people special. I know the mirror story book.
Sometimes, every now and again, you are trapped and cannot put actual distance between a poisonous person and yourself. This is when you have to be strong. You have to learn to ignore. If you are feeling this way, then realize that this person is actually a bully and deal with them as such. With bullies, they attack the weak. They only bother people that can actually BE bothered. If you act like you don’t care and start saying “whatever” with a chuckle and walk away confidently with your head high and your shoulders back…. Eventually they will realize that their poison doesn’t work on you. That you are immune and they will find a different target. They might actually have really hurt your feelings, but don’t let them know that. Don’t show it. Or their poison will have a much stronger effect because you will give them satisfaction and you will remain a target to them. Eat well. You don’t need to diet or be a health nut. But putting real whole foods into your body makes you feel good about yourself. It feels good to have eaten a good meal. Food makes a huge difference in your life. One thing that I do is when I get my groceries, I precut and pre-rinse Romaine lettuce, celery, carrots, and cucumber and put them into separate storage containers in the refrigerator. This way, through the week I can throw together a salad with minimal effort. I add precut and precooked grilled chicken strips and add some dressing and afterwards I feel great about what I put in my body. Exercise. You don’t have to join a gym or run marathons to take care of yourself. Even light stretching will make a huge difference in how you feel about yourself. Make your goals obtainable. Don’t reach for something that is going to make you feel stressed out. Start small. Very small if you have to but doing something is better than nothing. Each little goal achieved will make you feel so good about yourself. And anything you do is great for your health, so it’s a win-win! Lastly, smile. This is so beyond important. It’s probably the most important thing out of everything. You need to enjoy your life. If you are miserable and life is truly horrible, and you can’t no matter what find a way to laugh; put on a comedy, read a funny book, look up jokes on the Internet, anything. If life is just tough at times and you have to keep going, like most of us do, S-M-I-L-E! When you go about your day, smile at everyone who passes by. Smile even when no one is passing by. Think of something great, even if it’s not real and focus on that. If you can’t think of anything, FAKE IT! Smile anyways. The actual action releases serotonin, which is also associated with feel good properties. So the fake smile, will actually help you feel better. Building your confidence does take time and can even raise and lower like the tides, but make it a priority. Change your life by believing in yourself. I can tell you one thing, I believe in you.

Poisonous Corruption
There are certain things in life that are just poisonous to our hearts. Gossip, jealousy, regret, fear, making assumptions... If you let these types of things dictate your relationships and how you are running your life, you are not only poisoning your own self but unnecessarily harming other people. Before you charge forward, take a step back and use my mantra "Just Breathe". Give yourself a moment to reflect before you react. This way you act using both logic and emotion rather than emotion alone. If your intentions are to cause disruption and you are trying to hurt someone else, I would like to remind you of one thing. You cannot hurt someone else without also hurting yourself. Even if you think your gossip, your revenge, your retaliation will make you feel satisfied. Know that these things weigh on the human soul and will disrupt how others see you. This will prevent the most beautiful person in the world from seeming attractive and approachable.
however, how you react and how you deal with everything good and bad put in front of you is absolutely under your control. This is what allows you to sleep well at night, this is what allows you to look yourself in the mirror, and this is the person that you are painting for others to see. If you feel like you are suffocating and you're angry or overwhelmed, I suggest you look hard at how much poison you are in ingesting. Maybe you have just a smidgen too much and need to take that step back I formally mentioned. Don't let life be so hard. Decide, just completely make the decision, that its your life and you are going to live it with happiness, without fear, and with complete tolerance to the multitude of personalities around you.
There is a reason for the sayings "find the silver lining" or "see the glass as half full", nothing can be perfect all the time. Nothing. Life is a beautiful mistake and you will only get from your experiences what you take away. So let it be positive, let it be kind, show tolerance and appreciation for others, love yourself and live life for joy and not fear. I promise you, if you take my advice you will sleep deeper, wake refreshed, and your shoulders won't ache as much. Give yourself a chance at an amazing life with all that you have exactly as it is and Just Breathe, Just smile, and really live. Xoxox
Angel Beth Freelance Writter We don't live in a world or robots Intermoelo.com and God didn't make humans using a cookie cutter. So stop trying to get into other people's shoes or heads and just enjoy the life you're given. Find the beauty in your experiences and hold on to that. Otherwise, you'll Nothing in life can happen without destroy how beautiful you really are your control. You might think that by degrading yourself and it will eat losing your your job due to away at you until there is nothing left. cutbacks, for example, isn't your fault. I'm quite certain that it isn't,
