Photo shooting outdoors these days has been very difficult lately as we just got hit by monsoon “Juan”. My shoot with Marianne was no exception.  Her mother, who is still in the States, wanted very good pictures for her daughter’s debut. Frequent emails from her about her ideas on the planned pre-debut shoot then followed. Our idea of having a warm afternoon shoot did not go as planned because when the pre-debut shoot came, “Juan” was also tagging along with us. But we didn’t stopped from getting nice portraits of Marianne. Jeri Udasco’s nice make-up job on Marianne can’t be left unphotographed.  So, with great faith, we still trudged amidst heavy rains to Opol beach as we can’t think of any other place that we can have a small chance of having a better weather than along the city proper which was already getting beaten up by the heavy rains. Eventually, the weather turned positive toward us as the rain became very light and we can finally have some fun shots along the shoreline. We had fun working with Marianne as she was friendly and was also having fun being with us. This is part one of two of getting to know Marianne…:)

The photography workshop focused more on letting the participants acquire that “photographer’s eye”. And so I chose to share my knowledge on how to compose a photo instead rather than focusing more in editing. My aim was for them to be very observant with every detail when they frame their photo. That each photo has its own story to tell and by putting those in a harmonious way would create a story. This workshop, we tackled from landscape photography, food, fashion but I decided to do more portraits as doing portrait photography is the usual kind of photography.  They are only using kit lenses and I taught them how to use them in portraiture.

So here are the shots of my participants and after teaching them basic knowledge using Photoshop and just guiding them through, they were the one who edited their photos. Editing was more of their own taste rather than me dictating what they want to do with their own photos. Again I would like to thank to the Lord God above for giving us a wonderful weather for the shoot, my participants who showed in my workshop with great enthusiasm and to the organizer of the workshop, Ms. Pickle Flores, for letting this workshop possible. I hope that a Razzle Dazzle part 2 will be in store in the future. So I am also calling out you people who are interested to learn photography that I am open to one on one workshops or group workshops, just shoot me an email…

photos 31-37 are photographed by me.

Once again THANK YOU SO MUCH…
