You’ve been posting photos and stories of Nas in your social media, can you share with us the process behind?

For most of my life I’ve never thought of myself as a cat person. I was always in the other camp.

It took Nas for me to realize the magnificence of felines and how attracted I am to their temperament.

Nas is an easy subject. That’s why I find myself posting pictures of him more and more.

Photography Share: Aerial Photography

They say that one of the golden rule in photography is never shoot anything from eye level, because that is how everybody sees it. Therefore, (1) try going down on ground level, or (2) kneeling for a waist level, or (3) bring a ladder and get an elevated view, or (4) buy a drone and go bird’s eye view. Kidding aside, with the advancement of technology we are now capable of shooting from above. We are pretty amazed on how different of a perspective aerial photography brings to the table. The wow-factor can be instant, but there are also a lot to learn about taking photos from a drone.

Jayson and I have told the story over a hundred times, we joined the Canon Photo Maration 2019 Sipat Pilipinas as a husband-and-wife bonding time. A competition with a mixed adrenaline rush and photography-centered creative exercise. This was our first time ever to join such a prestigious photo contest. Coming in, we already saw a similar tandem (not sure if they were boyfriend-and-girlfriend or a married couple) also joining the contest. Pretty much sure, we were all crazy excited! We had planned out most of our ideas beforehand. We also knew the locations we wanted to shoot.

We were there as early as 6am for the registration, paid Php 550 each for the contest fee. We then waited for the 8AM introduction and briefing. The rules and mechanics were explained to us and we were tasked to set our cameras to a specific date and time. Finally, the theme for the morning photo challenge was revealed – it was Dream.

Photography Share: Introducing our approach in Street Photography

April 9, 2020
by Jayson Arquiza

It has been a good practice that we exercise street photography whenever we travel abroad. We go on our own approach of purely “shooting strangers” and just “random people” across the street. We brand these photographs as Street and Portraits. If you dig deeper, you may also realize how shooting candid photographs helps to enhance your skills as a wedding photographer.

#fotografíatips:  (1) Shoot as discreet as possible. (2) Set the picture profile default to Monochrome, do this to remove the color distraction and focus on your composition. (3) Look for the light, find a good spot with striking balance of high key and shadows. (4) Look for unique and interesting subject[s]. Remember every photo has a story. Lastly, (5) Enjoy!
