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.

Discovery Suites

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.

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.

Jardin de Miramar and Valley Golf Antipolo

Shot with Tiqui Del Rosario

Still have a lot of backlogs but lemme just post my most recent shoot. Mike and Mia are our co-photographer friend Tiqui’s close friends. Mia and Tiqui are friends since grade 1 which was way too long ago.. (haha! peace man! ). If you know Tiqui you would understand why her friends are a little crazy. Hehe. Had a lot of fun shooting this one.

Ok here’s a photo to show what kind of mood we were in that day.

A little serious pose..

And more goofing around.

From Jardin then off to the next location..

A little sky action..

God gave us beautiful skies that day

And my favorite pose by Mike

What use would a golf course be to a photo shoot without a beautiful sunset
