ALEJANDRO TAKES PHOTOS

Thursday Night Market

1/6/2023

0 Comments

 
I was given the opportunity to photograph my first Thursday Night Market in Pioneer square(Seattle).There is more to being a freelance photographer  than just taking photos, meaning a huge social/networking aspect. One thing I was unaware of when going full-time photography was that I would work by myself 75% of the time. So when I was given the opportunity to photograph the "photobooth"  at the Thursday Night Market I jumped on it. A goal of 2023 was to meet new people and I thought what a great chance to work on that new goal! Below is a few of my favorite photos of last nights event.

One of my weaknesses as a photographer has always been shooting in only natural light because external strobe/ flashes always were so intimidating. In 2023, is when I start to expand my knowledge and experience with artificial lights.

My name is Alejandro Sanchez Ochoa, I am a freelance photographer in the city of Seattle. I specialize in portrait and sports photography, however I also capture event, travel, headshots for anyone whom may be looking for photography. I was born and raised in Quincy, Washington where I grew up working on bean, corn, fruit farms.I received my Bachelors Degree in Food Science & Nutrition. Before my career as a freelance photographer I aspired to be a food chemist and a high school teacher. After accumulating 5 years in the field, I decided to leave the traditional work force and start my own business. I am excited to explore this world of freelance. Thankful for all the clients/ friends who supported me in my first year as a freelance photographer.  Looking forward to see what 2023 has in store for me.
