Hearts Inspiration

2011-05-02T11:34:00.000-07:00

We have these moments when our hearts are at its purest. When every thing is done with honest intent. It screams truth, hope and desire. My heart did that for me yesterday morning and I was able to put down on canvas.

"HEARTS INSPIRATION."

"Keep the inspiration alive."

Need I say more.........

2011-04-21T21:02:00.000-07:00

Tonight was such a great opening reception at the gallery. I have to say it was my favorite thus far. I took a lot of photos tonight, but these are my absolute favorites.

Cespedes Studios Five Year Anniversary!

2010-07-29T09:42:00.000-07:00

Today, I am proud to celebrate Cespedes Studios 5 year anniversary. In honor of this great accomplishment, I've put together a collection of my work from 2006 till present date. I've had the honor to work with many amazing people including artists such as Heather B, Questlove, DJKO, Evil Dee, and Rich Medina. I've also been fortunate to work on the set of some amazing independent films including "Shades of Brooklyn" for Sunshowah Films and have covered high profile events for Def Jam, Winter Music Conference and Couture Fashion Week in New York.

I look back today on the last 5 years and am grateful for the incredible individuals that I have had the privilege to capture with my lens. My inspiration comes from and through LOVE. The love for color, light, movement, architecture, nature and art. My work's purpose is to inspire and as I always say if you inspired by my work then "Keep the inspiration alive".

Cespedes Studios Gets Personal!

As many of you know I moved to Miami nine months ago, determined to let out my voice as artist and be heard. It has been a transformational period for me personally and creatively in which I have grown and found a new voice- one that is vibrant, colorful and true and which expresses my happiness and appreciation for life. Throughout my journey in Miami I have truly become a woman and created a life filled with many adventurous opportunities and my art has blossomed as a result of it.

This Saturday, June 12th, I am proud to announce the premiere of my first Wynwood Art Show “Colores de Amor”. This collection was inspired by the love between a man and a woman and all that they created together, but then had to watch fall apart. The ending to this story isn’t a sad one and to find out why please join me this Saturday at GAB Gallery from 7-11pm.

Cespedes Studios Stationary Collection!

2010-06-07T18:35:00.000-07:00

Cespedes Studios is working on an amazing new stationary collection, which I am revealing for the first time on my blog. My postcard line is the first to come out. The inspiration for these postcards came about one morning in a Cuban café. While sipping on my cafe con leche, my eye caught the face of this woman across the table from me sitting there with a blank, almost lifeless expression on her face. I immediately thought to myself, “What could I give this woman to put a smile on her face and remind her that whatever her worries are there is always hope?" So I decided to create a postcard line with my illustrations and positive quotes to inspire others through my artwork. Below is a sample of the postcard collection. If you wish to purchase the four-piece postcard collection please inquire at cespedesstudios@yahoo.com.

"The REAL Woman"

2010-02-09T12:07:00.000-08:00

Get the flash player here: http://www.adobe.com/flashplayer

I am currently working on a new series titled "The REAL Woman", a collection of photographs that celebrate what I consider to be a "real" woman. As a photographer in the industry I encounter a lot of times these models that are unrealistically thin and we praise them by placing them in magazines, ad, tv commercials as an example of what true beauty is. Well, I am a photographer and a woman who doesn’t believe in following the masses and so I've created this collection. Not only will I be photographing women of all shapes, but also these are women who are entrepreneurs, successful, strong, making a difference in their communities. I want you to look beyond what is in front of the lenses and celebrate that these women have the courage to be vulnerable and bare in front of the world.

One of my favorite poems that I believe celebrates a, “real woman”.

Phenomenal Woman
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman

Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Maya Angelou

NOTE TO WOMEN I PHOTOGRAPHED: Thank you ladies for allowing me to show the world what a strong, gorgeous woman in and out looks like.

BBQ & Salsa

2009-10-23T09:01:00.001-07:00

Last night I went to dinner at Uncle Toms for some Southern BBQ, which was ok. Not the best BBQ I've had in Miami, I would have to say Flanigans is still my favorite. The best part of my evening was going to this Spanish club called, "Hoy Como Ayer". Got there around ten thirty, where ladies are free before eleven and men pay $7 all night. The club is set up like a classic Spanish club with black and white images of old jazz, salsa singers. The energy inside is saultry and sexy, congas playing in the background and mojitos being served. I got a table on the left hand side of the stage with a great view. While I waited for the spam all stars to perform their DJ played some Caribbean sounds and salsa music. Than finally at midnight they came on stage and killed it. The crowd was dancing and the energy was incredible.

Here are some images I took throughout my evening.

Peace

TEACH THE BABIES

2009-09-16T10:59:00.000-07:00

This Piece was inspired by a very special seven year old named Dahsir. Its a portrait of him and all the bright light that he shines on the world. On the four corners of the painting I've written words that I believe we should all teach our babies. Knowledge, Strength, Love and finally what they ultimately gain, Wisdom.

Thanks Dahsir for being a inspiration :)

Hope you all enjoy.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR AND BOOK:
DéLana R. A. Dameron searches for answers to spiritual quandaries in her first collection of poems, How God Ends Us, selected by Elizabeth Alexander as the fourth annual winner of the South Carolina Poetry Book Prize. Dameron's poetry forms a lyrical conversation with an ominous and omnipotent deity, one who controls all matters of the living earth, including death and destruction. The poet's acknowledgement of the breadth of this power under divine jurisdiction moves her by turns to anger, grief, celebration, and even joy. From personal to collective to imagined histories, Dameron's poems explore essential, perennial questions emblemized by natural disasters, family struggles, racism, and the experiences of third-world travel. Though she reaches for conclusions that cannot be unveiled, her investigations exhibit the creative act of poetry as a source of consolation and resolution.

MY PROUD MAMA!

The hand reaching out symbolizes mostly the help of a man that she has let go of in order to make her own way.

I remember my sophomore year of college I spent the entire summer at the metropolitan museum, exploring and discovering all types of art. I've decided to go back to my long walks in the city, with my headphones on and drawing journal in hand. Along the way I stopped at the Museum of Modern Art, where I was so excited to see Joan Miro exhibit and the digital show on the ground floor. Here is a collage of some of the images I captured that day.

Thank you New York for being a constant inspiration.

Hey Folks,

I know I am mad late on my blogger updates, but I am finally back on point with my bog. First and foremost I want to thank every single person that I know and don't know that came out to this show. It was a huge success and brought in over 500 people. This truly was an amazing experience and I look forward to doing many, many, many, more shows of this magnitude. I took some shots throughout the night, that I think show all the love that was in that hot, sweaty gallery that night lol
Please enjoy

Here are some photographs I took walking around Wall St. This neighborhood always fasinates me, because it seems so cold, but to my surprise I saw so many people, amazing architecture and my eye was constantly stimulated.

Art Form

2008-06-02T13:13:00.001-07:00

photography is an art form not a snap and a click

6/3/08
Photography is an art form, it takes the eye of an artist to capture what others cannot see. someone who can see beyond what is there and capture the essence of either a person, place or thing. Photography is not and i repeat not the ability to click and snap a photo. It is a look at the mind of the photographer and what he or she is saying through a lens. It is a moment in time stopped to acknowledge its beauty, ugliness, tragedy, and the truth. ........to be continued
