I have already been into many beauty pageants in different cities to be one of their official photographers and also a judge for the Photogenic awards. I have been invited from local pageants like Ms. Kagay-an 2008 and 2009, Ms. Camiguin,Ms.Laguindingan to the national level Ms. Teen Philippines. I was really awed with the production of Ms. Liceo Emerald. It was just a school based pageantry having candidates from each of the colleges and also their highschool department and yet it felt like it was one major national pageant boasting with great intermission numbers. It was a great event indeed and I was happy that I could be part of their momentous occasion. To all candidates, win or lose, congratulations! And by the way, I would also personally congratulate Ms. Joanna Dignos and Ms. Blande Agtang, our chosen Ms. Photogenic and Fashion Photographer’s Choice awardees. They’ll be having a free photoshoot from us which they could personally use for their own portfolio, which I will also post here. Once again, congratulations to all winners.

davidson and gwen | Tenghun | Cagayan de Oro City

Tenghun which is called “engagement” in English is a traditional Chinese event before marriage. It was my first time to cover a tenghun event. So days before the event, I asked my colleague Aye Navarro about what usually happens during a tenghun event and also I did my own research about it so that I could be well prepared on what will be the things I need to take pictures of. And during the day proper, everything went well and also tried to be as silent as a sleuth so as not to be distracting during the traditional event. My shoutout to the soon to be wed couple: Davidson and Gwen.

sliver

sliver [?sl?v?] – 1. A slender piece cut, split, or broken off; a splinter.

The shoot was about breaking free from doing the usual shoot. The idea was doing a fashion type photoshoot but the photos portray not the clothes they wear but the emotion and the feelings the pictures gives you.

This was a visual art side project I had after I was invited by Essa and Mai of a photo shoot they had in mind. Essa and Mai are close friends of mine who came up with a nice and unique idea for a shoot.  Their idea was inspired from the yin yang symbol and also to make do of simple garments for them to wear and it was my part on how to interpret their idea and make it like a high fashion shoot. My aim was to take their picture and direct them in such a way people will see first the emotions and the poses they did before the people realizing that they are only wearing simple linens.

We would like to thank club TILT management for giving us full use of the club area.
