Merry Christmas to my wacky FPPF colleagues!

Camerageek TV Webpage Photo & Design

After completing one season, our Camerageek TV (CGTV) show is now on indefinite hiatus as we recollect on what we have done and where do we want to go from here-as we settle accounts with the TV network channel NET 25. Meanwhile I'd like to reflect on our old URL design that our director Dan Pamintuan maintains. BTW Dan is also a photographer credited for shooting Paolo Solarz and Yours truly in the Masthead design. I shot the lovely Meg and Kate. For compositing the images I used Abobe Photoshop CS5 and for layout: Corel X3. All print materials were done using just these 2 programs. Of course Nikon gears were used for the photography. Thanks to the CGTV team, director Dan Pamintuan and NET 25 for making our dream TV show possible! Just visit our site here to replay those happy episodes. Cheers!

CCA Website Photography

As a freelance artist, sometimes you and your clients are perpetually busy as bees with one project after another that we all fail to notice and appreciate the completed artworks (hard work) that we all have done. I stumbled upon the Center for Culinary Arts' blog here that has my old photograph as the main visual in the banner of the site for sometime now. There are more print advertising materials I shot for CCA and will post them as soon as they email me my copy for my portfolio. For photography production I always use Nikon gears FYI.

Mass Photography Wedding In Makati City

Did a mass wedding coverage as main photog along with director Shierds Pamintuan, Jun, Joel and Jeff at the Magallanes Church in Makati city. The noble organizer Piandre wanted it to look like a personalized wedding for each couple, so you can imagine how we had to capture each and every cord & veil, wedding ring, kiss, etcetera...phew! Thank God for the team!

Last November 2011 Strobist Workshop

This is one of those workshop group that some of the noble participants had more impressive strobist gears than yours truly. Kudos Batch 14! May you show the world on how to light properly.
