portraits: Rigs (part 2)

Here are more outtakes from the photoshoot with Rigs that I wasn't able to upload earlier.

photoshoot with Kryz Uy

Last October 29, I was at my favorite place to shoot, Rouge Studio, with my friend Mark Tiu. We all got together to take portraits of my friend, style blogger Kryz Uy, who wrote about the shoot here. Thank you, Kryz! I also had a film SLR (Olympus OM-2N) with me, but I still don't have the photos processed, so I'll save those photos for another post. This is my second time to shoot with Kryz and the first time to shoot with a film camera for studio shots. Here are just some of the photos from the shoot (from my trusty Canon 500d). I must say, Kryz registers really well on camera!

pegs for the shoot (that we never really followed..whoops)

I told Kryz to twirl for one of the shots...she moved with such grace! Then it hit me. Silly me, I forgot she was a dancer!

Lucky to have snapped this candid shot. The ladies look lovely!

Before I started shooting, I asked her to pose for a portrait/test shot.

snapshots: chill friday night, August 2010

A few months ago, my friend from grade school, Kamila (who is based in Denmark) visited the Philippines for her internship at a European firm here in Makati. It was great catching up with her! Before she left the country, Gelo and I treated her to a few drinks at Greenbelt. It's amazing how lights can make an image so lively -- and to think this was such a chill night. That's why I love photography; you're really given the chance to play with light and either alter the mood of your photographs with it or capture moments the way they really happen.

I've always believed that art (photography, in my case) employs both an artist's perception and imagination. It's how you look at things, but it could also be how you want to look at things. I can ramble on and on about the beauty of this, but I believe it's best saved for another post.
