This was just an impromptu “shoot”. I mean, we were just swimming in this very beautiful and relaxing spring and then this idea came up like Koko Crunch! Haha!

Good thing Jay Ar Igno here, Jacque’s bestfriend was in the mood to pose.

Used my old but trusty cam, Sony H7. :)

Tie a Yellow Ribbon…

We just lost another freedom fighter and I think she is the last genuine hero(ine) that we have. Where do we go now? I feel kind of hopeless.

I am lucky that I am still part of the generation that knew her, well, at least when she was the president. Though she was not a perfect president, still she was a good president, unlike…*eherm, cut statement here*

Anyway, I roamed Makati and some of Quezon City today because of other purposes and good thing I brought my trusty Xander (Sony H7). I was able to take some pictures of how we love Cory Aquino.

As I have said in my Facebook account, this yellow ribbon is not just a fad, but it serves as a reminder of our history. It is an icon of how hope was given to us in the darkest of hours.

We will always remember you.

but it serves as a reminder of our history. It is an icon of how hope was given to us in the darkest of hours. Thank you, dear Cory Aquino. You will always be remembered.

This is the second set of Ariane Saquilayan. Well, she has the other pics of the set and this is just a part of it. The concept is simply a geisha, taking back to the olden days when pictures are not yet in fashion and paintings are in. Painting-like treatment done in Photoshop too. :)

She’s Macy Valdezco, and she is days from her biggest transition as of the present: turning into a woman.

May marks the month when she will fully bloom into a woman.  She commissioned me to do her photos, starting from invitation then to the event proper. Posted are pics from her shoot for the invitation. Actually, the pictures that you will see are the edited ones for the invitation. Happy viewing. :)

How many letters separates Yanity and Vanity?  Not much right?

Here’s Ariane Saquilayan, wavemate (work) and friend from TeleTech Bacoor. She’s the first one to really trust in my skills and asked me to take her pics. This is just the other half of the shoot, as I have the other set about her which is entitled “Turning Japanese”.

So. One night I was with three other photographers (I am a hobbyist) and they took a shot of this place. Nikki (?), who is a good wedding photographer, said that this concept has been done by so many people, especially people who wants to take photography seriously. Hmmm. Did I pass the initiation?

Took the ‘initiation’ along with fellow photogs Keo Saulog and Aia Solis

Love ‘Em, Hate ‘Em

This pic is actually a part of a set that I will be releasing within the week or so. Well, no biggie though, it’s not for commercial purposes; I just wanted to take pictures and have a set with Jacque.

The set is inspired by the song “Like a Boy” by Ciara. The song wants to question the “what if roles were reversed” and the men are the ones getting toyed around.
