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…

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.

And by the way, I’ll be doing a photography workshop this coming April, please stay tuned for more details. Interested participants can now contact me for reservations. Only 15 slots are available. Hope to see you.

Today is Valentine’s Day. Last week I had a photoshoot session with two young couple who are very much in love with each other and nope they are not getting married soon. They just wanted to have this photoshoot for them to enjoy. It was cool. It is a great idea for a date. Anyhow, I told Katrina to write something about the shoot so that I could also post it along with the photos. It was a great day, nice people to work with, guess it was one of those happy days that nothing seems to go wrong.

Being young, carefree and in love is something worth savoring. You never pass this way again. Not quite grown up yet to say it’s an engagement, but not too juvenile to say it’s just some fling. Every snapshot is a moment frozen in time. A fleeting moment that soon becomes a memory and to be able to capture the essence of your love and youth in a photograph is an arm’s length short of magic. So before t-shirts are traded in for ties, school books are traded in for taxes and we’re somewhere in between young love and forever, we might as well ham it up for the cameras and let loose.

And before anything else, me along with Team Oro would also like to announce our warm welcome to Katrina as our fellow member in our team. She is doing apprenticeship for videography under our team…clap! clap! clap!

It was January 2 when we had this shoot. The cousins decided to have a hippie theme and to my delight they really did their homework. YES! And on top of that, God gave us a beautiful rainbow to be our background, such a nice sign to start a new year.

Same script, same flow of events, same key players, you know what I mean. But this doesn’t mean that we have to follow what is traditional. Just like movies that get a lot of remakes, weddings should be too. It has always been my principle that every wedding has its own DNA. Each has its own take on the wedding ritual and each wedding that I cover; I also too have a different view on your wedding. With that kind of state of mind, I also thought of adapting to a newer version of albums. And so, in the coming 2010, I’ll be presenting my new Photobook album and new Coffeetable album. I just don’t want to be the same with other photographers. But still, the photos, the candid shots, the lay-out will always be the same, the funky style! YEAH!

With the new upgrades, it is inevitable that I have to bump my rates a little higher from the old rates. I know that with the crisis going on, we have to consider every small detail that we pay. But we also have to consider the importance of your special day. Photos are for eternity. It is something that you’ll have to cherish until you’re on your 80’s and still keeps on laughing on your wedding album, reminiscing that special day the two of you got hitched. The photo shoot sessions you have with me, the stuff that I have to dare for the both of you to do and all the crazy stuffs. Photos are for eternity I say again. That’s why I always have to look for better and nicer suppliers for my albums and photos. We have to adapt to be better.

2010 will be one hell of a rocking new year! With newer uploads and fresher ideas! To my clients who have already booked, get ready! We’re gonna rock you out!

The day couldn’t be so perfect for a photoshoot. It was sunny and I was in the mood to take pictures. Guess the happy mood was heightened more when I arrived at their house with her parent’s warm welcome. Smiles flocked the room and a constant stream of laughter and giggles echoed around it. We were well prepared for the shoot. I guess it was a one month preparation searching the net for inspirations. When we thought of a make-up artist to pick for the shoot, I automatically referred Dr. Grace (http://www.vanityclinic.com/ ).  I have already worked with Doc Grace previously and I couldn’t be more amazed of her works. Doc Grace was accompanied by her very supportive husband and her mom, who by the way was the one who styled Audrey’s hair. My usual time frame for a photo shoot usually starts at 3PM onwards, but days before the shoot, we had a 3-day rainy weather and an option of postponing the shoot was imminent. So I had to schedule the shoot earlier that day just in case it will rain in the afternoon. But we were lucky and I thanked God when the time came and the weather was clear and warm.

People go to spas and health clubs to feel good. But I guess treating yourself for a photo shoot and really loving yourself is also therapeutic.
