Photography: Ballet and Powder

And my first attempt.

A few months back, I have been wanting to try on new photography concepts to break away from my comfort zone of portraiture. This time, we decided to try the powder photography and with the help from my fellow Photobombers, we found three lovely ladies to pose for us, a studio where we enjoyed jumping around and tested Daryl's two new gigantic softboxes.

I was initially planning to create a setup that will use gels to color the powder but we realized that its getting complicated and we have limited time in the studio so we moved forward to trying to capture the powder while our ballerinas are in motion/ jumping.

Here are some of the output from me, and Sam Ortiz and Darryl Lara as well.

Some of the problem I encountered during the shoot are: the background cloth was too small (it was already late when I realized that the other half was missing) and the light mastery. I guess I have a long way to go to know more about strobes and studio lights but this session was really rewarding to me.

Special thanks to our models Shannon, Chrizza and LJ (the sweetest trio girls I've met), and to my beloved crew who gathered their brains to help me pull off my shoot...Ate Nana, Daryl, Sam, Sir Biboy, Jakey (HMUA), Sir Ken, Manong Norman and Te Neil.

Shoot in Sir Hartzell Cueva's private studio in Bajada (thank you lots)!


Feel free to leave your CC in the comments section. A good dose of critique will surely help me improve.

Laugh till you drop

There are just times that you feel down, not in your game and almost in the brink of giving up.
And in those times, it pays to have your friends surrounding you--they'd blanket you with your comfort zone, lie and tell that you look good even though you're such a mess and make you laugh at the most stupid thing on earth.

After watching the Up Darma Down mall show at the Abreeza Mall, which turned out to be really fun and awesome :), we decided to have a little dinner and my place. The place which we tagged as our HQ was home to many of our photoshoots in 2010.

Instantly, my fellow photobombers decided to shoot and crazily made ourselves the subjects.

(im kinda missing his photos lately though)

Photos and it did happen! :D
