It’s Time for Surgery.

I’ve come to realize that the Fans need a better looking playground here at xynntii.com with a user interface that is to die for. The demand over the Fansite is growing rapidly and it’s only a matter of time before a couple more sponsors join in, so xynn tii imagery. needs to be prepared for it.

Because of this revelation, I have chosen to team up with a couple of sick designers from Collision Labs to completely revamp this company’s identity. Beginning next month and ending before December, xynn tii imagery. is going to have a better logo and an even better site design. Words can’t describe how ready I am for this renovation process and I’m doing it only for the Clients/Fans! Speaking of which, the new Client Booth will be insanely dynamic and easy to use. Stay tuned!

Let’s Take It Wayyy Back!

I came across a great tutorial at Chris Spooner’s Blog on how to give your photos a wacky retro look using Photoshop. Just a little experiment I had to fool around with, specifically with this photo of Andrea Carolina.

This is one of Andrea’s (sexy Colombian) favorite photos from a shoot that we did last year. It was crazy how much hype there was over her shoes. The heels are great, but seriously? Look who’s wearing the heels! This shot was taken at the pool deck of where I live in dwntwn Miami. I despise the 90 degree sun but it made for a great substitute to the softbox I didn’t have at the time.

Come to think of it, I took this photo with my old camera, the Nikon D200. Wow, has it really been that long? I’ve had the Canon 7D going on a year now. But fortunately, Andrea and I look forward to doing another shoot before this year’s end. Gotta love the opportunity.

In honor of the first one to do it, the late great André Kertész.

For class, I was assigned to mock the style of renown photographers.Thought it would be crazy boring, but I’m glad I did it. c;

This is one of several courthouses in dwntwn Miami. Wouldn’t this make a nice postcard? ^_^

Who said dwntwn Miami doesn’t have bright lights?

I was really grateful to have gotten this shot! I was actually allowed access to one of the highest levels of my condo residence in dwntwn Miami. I’ve been craving this opportunity for months. c; This image points to the south, toward the Brickell district. I am a serious fan of the Bank of America Tower [purple skyscraper at right] because decades it has managed to remain a highlight of the dwntwn Miami area, literally. It began groundbreaking in 1983 and to much surprise still has that modern look to it.

What separates this Bank of America Tower from its surroundings are the interchangeable LED lights that mock colors based on specific times of the year or event. [For instance, during Breast Cancer Awareness month, the tower was lit in pink] Remarkable idea, I love it. This image also depicts the architectural renovation process of Miami. You can clearly see that the buildings start to look more modern as you track from the bottom of the image to the top, which is a true representation.

It really is only a matter of time before the Hyatt Regency Hotel and James L Knight Center [white buildings at center frame] are renovated and the same goes for much of the dwntwn area. I think its necessary and I look forward to seeing how Miami will look in 5 to 10 years from now. c;

This is a high dynamic range image and also my 1st taken with my new Canon D7 ! I used a -2 to +2 exposure metering [where I merged 3 images together during post production] No photoshop! was used during this process. I developed the image with photomatix and lightroom. c:

Believe it or not, I believe the most interesting section of this photo is actually in the very back. You can see a cruise ship from a far that separates the water from the sky! That divide gives the background more of a 3D-rounded look. But hey! Please supply your critique on this image via commenting here or even via twitter. Is this image in or out ?

There’s crazy buzz going around:

“Is something new coming to xynn tii imagery.” Oh yes, there is ! But lets make this real clear. Vlog is not misspelled. It’s actually, as you may already know, a blog composed mainly of video blurbs. In this case, our next update will be a vlog, starring Founder and CEO Tii K Xynn. In fact, you know what, we’ll just go on the record with this: All updates from now on will be straight up vlogcasts™. [ We're getting tired of these text updates ! ]

This will be a very good look for xynn tii imagery, as we are making better attempts of becoming more engaged w/ all the Fans ! Also, these vlogcasts™ will have guest appearances = very necessary.

So What’s Next?

Okay, so the last update made claims of several couture shoot updates being posted this week. So … where are they? Here’s our excuse; three shoots were rescheduled for November, as a result of last-minute event bookings in the Miami area.

Nevertheless, keep the anticipation alive! & the fabulous fanbase treatment = highly appreciated! c;
