L’Oreal Power Instructors

Here’s a group portrait of L’Oreal Philippines’ instructors. Setting up my mobile studio in their small office in Pasig-Ortigas can be a difficult…but there you go! Their photos will used in their training manual and others.

Philippine Polo Tri-Team

Meet the Philippines’ Polo Tri-Team. I did their ad photography material for their many international sponsors. Here is an elite power clique of beauty, brains, brawn, and (economic) bounty. And they are a wacky, yet polite group to pose-a very pleasant encounter indeed.

Ostrich Farm Ad Photography

Going to Bustos, Bulacan was quite an adventurous photo project for me as I headed for the Red Ostrich Farm. Their website is still under construction but you can email the manager in Eva Panganiban for queries at: redofarm@yahoo.com. Ostrich meat is still exotic here, you see. I was warned that a mature ostrich can deliver a fatal frontal kick to the chest-when threatened. Gulp! So I did keep my distance for the guilt of having ostrich stew for lunch that day…well, it tasted a little sweeter than beef meat and it’s healthier to boot. Just avoid provoking that ostrich kick to stay healthy!

David Salon Club Transit Ad

I finally got to see my Team David Salon Club ad transit photos rolling down the streets of Metro Manila. I did their ad photography a few months back. Hey, the lady mountain bikers remembered moi!

Sexy British Fashion Corsets

Post-prod: Corset Imaging

It took a whole month to “dropout” (or remove the background) and enhance forty corset photographs to achieve the designers' taste. The Adobe Photoshop program was extensively used. Corel’s exotic Knockout software was utilized for more complicated masking challenges. The optical mouse and pen are very convenient input devices for such projects. I discovered that I need to update my MP3 collection soon for any more extended post-prod work.

Behind-the-scene: Corset Pictorial

British fashion designers in Jay Monaf and Jerry Ocampo gave moi the go signal to post some of their corset fashion collection. Allow me to show you first some “behind-the-scene”shots. The voluptuous Irish Weber is our model. Minx did the hair and makeup. Thank you for the project gentlemen!

Tamara Ferrer is at One

Here is the little princes in Tamara Ferrer who just celebrated her first birthday in Greenbelt III, at the Bubba Gump restaurant. The statuesque mom/diva is Johanna, who I think Tamara will look like when she blooms into a young lady. Close family and relatives enjoyed the food, fun and friendship that filled that Sunday afternoon. May you have many more blessed birthdays to come Tamarra!
