On August 28-29 Imagine Nation will be organizing a Manny Librodo Workshop in Intramuros. We have a few slots left for the Intramuros Workshop! On the 1st day, it will be in Baluarte de San Diego and Puerta Real Gardens in Intramuros and Butterfly Gardens in the Orchidarium. On the 2nd day it will be in the Imagine Nation Studio in Oasis Building 169 Aurora Boulevard San Juan.

This seminar will also feature more than the usual photography seminar. We will be having Kharu Jazmin as our main model, this is also her birthday so it will be a very special day. We will be having not just 2 models but 3 more models in addition that Manny himself will choose. These other models will be styled by Tine “Feliz” Diestro and her whole team they are the premier engagement stylist here in the Philippines. Also we will be having professional hair and make-up artist for each model. All these for just P15,000.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from one of the best photographers in the world. You will not only learn how to shoot better by getting the best light possible for your subjects but how to further enhance your subject’s beauty using Photoshop. Reserve a slot now we are only accepting 16 participants. Few slots left. :)

Jeredan and Malaya

Crossroad 77

Shot with Jason De Guzman and Marie Rimmer for Imagine Nation

It’s been a long time since I last posted a wedding shoot here. As you can see, this wedding was 9 months ago, it takes me a while to post my works but let me just  make up for it by posting some of my long overdue wedding shoots. :)

Jeredan and Malaya are both Independent film actor and actress. While I was watching One More Chance recently I saw Malaya in one of the scenes. Cool eh. :)

Jeredan with his friends and brother.

Goofing around Discovery’s Serendipity Lounge. I love shooting here. :)

Grabbed a few quick snaps of Malaya while Jason was taking her portraits. :)

The church building also had a fitness gym inside and so we took a few pics there as well :)

First dances during weddings usually show a lot of emotions. This one was no exception :)

A few shots around Crossroad 77

Awesome lights, Awesome couple. :)

More wedding shoots to post as soon as my internet cooperates. :)

Manny Librodo Seminar

In an effort to expose Imagine Nation’s photographers into a different field of photography, we had an internal Manny Librodo seminar in CWC, Camsur. Manny Librodo is a world renowned filipino photographer. When I heard we were going to have an internal seminar with him I checked out his online portfolio at http://www.pbase.com/manny_librodo right away and was really impressed by his talent. We were even more blessed when Kharu decided to model for us. Turned out we were getting more than just a photography seminar from them, we also had the chance to get to know sir Manny and Kharu better and in the end shared loads of fun and laughter.

Sir Manny was teasing Kharu that she was really making an effort into pointing her toes even if it can’t be seen under water, so as to not put her effort into waste I took a picture with her pointed toes. :)

Also, we were blessed to have co-photographers who could model for us. Here is Tin Katipunan, almost fell into the pool just to get this shot. Ironically, no pool water can be seen in this shot.

Here is our multi-talented co-photographer Shyla Hembrador. She is a photographer, flight attendant, model, DJ of 94.7 and future bride. You can listen to her every 8-12pm Saturdays and Sundays :)

Here is Ms Monique Lopez-Ong, wife of our boss John Mateos Ong strutting her stuff in the CWC, winchpark :)

We also got the privilege of having some of the talented girls of Camsur to model for us. :)

It was a wonderful wonderful time! And we were so blessed to have the chance to expand our borders and explore other stuff which can help us advance our photography skills further. Also, it was a fun fun way to spend time with each other. At the end of the trip we shared tears and hyper-acidity inducing laughter. :)

Prijm+Karla Prenup

UP Diliman

Make-up by Aaron Lejarde of the Make Up Studio

Shot with Hyds Valencia

Prijm and I are part of the same political organization in college so when he told me he was getting married and that he and Karla wanted us (imaginenation) to cover his wedding I was really touched. They met each other at work. Karla interviewed Prijm when he was just applying for a job in HSBC and that was where it all started. They are getting married on August 8, 2009.

So here’s their prenup!

This was one of the test shots, love candid moments!
