Past Shoots

Patricia Klopf
I was my first time meeting her. she's really TALL and very pretty. it was great taking her pictures cos she doesn't have this superstar attitude. she's very down to earth and easy to be with even if it was her first time being with us. The camera loves her. Very photogenic.
We were just laughing all the time and having a great day in the beautiful scenery of Taytay Falls. Being with the Klik friends (mam Chix, Byords, Thoff, Carol and hubby) makes it easier to shoot.
The best part that day was going home. Had a top-load experience (riding at the jeep's roof) with Thoff and Byords. It was kinda scary, though, especially when Tim told be about his friend's gory accident. brrr.. Anyway. that'll be the last Top-load ride for me.

Jasmine
Jasmin Martinez, a co-photographer and model.
It's amazing how Jasmine turns from a shy, quiet girl into a blooming young lady, full with confidence.
We planned to shoot Gredy Xiu style but it kinda turned out differently. I preferred to have a guy in the picture, but the male model didn't make it. It was 2pm.. scorching madness! It was hot that day! around 3:30pm, the sun hid behind the clouds ---- overcast! I'm not a fan of the overcast lighting condition (although many photographers, i think, love it) but the shoot went well. :) Bravo, Jasmine!

Alice In Wonderland
One of Klik's grand shoot (unofficially, cos we are 'underground' for the moment. lol). the shoot went well despite of the rain and the sunless sky. we pulled it off. Bravo to mam Chix and Reiko for doing the hair and make-up. I did a little, but they did most of the work. :D haha. Thanks to the models: Midge, Jasmine, Rheycell, Anshang, Gem and Patty, for being so game in a gloomy day.

Steve Jobs

You have truly made a huge mark in this world. Amazing.

Street Photography

chai, ang dami mo ring natutunan ngayon araw nato. kala mo, ang street photography ay basta basta nalang. hindi pala. maraming elemento kang dapat malaman. ang daming technicalities... maganda rin na nakikinig sa mga experto. sabi nga nila, "it's good to know the rules. once you know them, break them!"

gayun pa man, tandaan mo, ang potograpiya ay nasa panlasa mo. kung maganda at may storya ang litratong ginawa mo, edi panalo! bahala na ang madlang people na mag husga sa gawa mo. basta ikaw, masaya, yun ang pinaka importateng elemento ng sining na ito. kung may mali sa mata ng iba, edi mali sa kanila... you can't please everybody.

salamat sa mga UK people na nag respunde sa iyong mga litrato.

1) Subject + Background + Coherence = SP
2) The photographer is included in the photographs he/she is taking. prevent using zoom lenses cos they make the photos look cold.
3) Think before you pitik.
4) patience is a virtue... anticipate what's going to happen next.
5) compose!
6) new abbreviation: IMO- In my opinion
HHSS- Holding Hands may pa Sway Sway pa.

Sha, makatulog na!
