I will be blogging about all things Jake Coronel Photography©.
For instance, I will (try to) write about every shoot I have, what challenges I faced when shooting, the exposures I used to shoot, etc.
History about my photography beginnings:
My name is Jake Coronel and I have been taking photographs since I was 10 years old. My photo endeavors began when I received my first camera for my 10th birthday. I was in 5th grade and the camera I received was a Canon film Sure Shot 36-76mm. From that day forward, I carried my camera everywhere I went. I immersed myself into nature/scenic photography; often photographing plants and insects in my front yard, sunsets, and animals.
What I love about photography is having the ability to freeze a moment in history with a click of a button. I remember EVERY single photo I've ever taken, when I took it, why I took it, and how I felt when I took it. For example, I remember photographing 2 palm trees at a local Kmart on a cold, cloudy Fall afternoon when I was 14 years old. I had stepped out of my parents' car and saw a great scene in front of me, took my camera out, SNAP!
By the age of 14, I was shooting with a Canon Digital Power Shot. I snapped a lot even with a film camera. I'd develop about 8 rolls of film a month. My finger never left the shutter once I had gone digital.
By 15, I was yearning for a Single Lens Reflex camera. I did some research (which, back then, meant looking at magazines and not the internet) and found a line of cameras at Best Buy. I bought a 500 dollar Canon EOS Rebel XT and was literally "through the roof" for owning such a fancy, beautiful camera.
I'm 23 now, and use a Canon EOS Rebel XSi and a Canon EOS 7D. I own 6 cameras total; including the first one I received 12 years ago.
I specialize in landscape and nature photography. Pictorials are also a major part of my portfolio and some of my favorite things to shoot. 5 people own Jake Coronel Photography© original prints.
I have shot several events, portraits, and engagements.
2 of my pictorials were published in the Santa Monica Corsair.
I have been hired to conduct personal photo shoots all over Los Angeles and Orange County.
Welcome to my photo blog.
