Joel and Rethel :: Engagement Shoot

Vinz — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 16:01:52 +0000

Rethel is my 2nd degree cousin and she’s flown like miles and miles all the way from Canada to Batangas to meet Joel, her HTB (that’s husband-to-be, folks) for their wedding arrangements AND their prenup shoot as well. The sun was scorching hot during our shoot and this couple braved the unbearable heat with us and came up with fantastic photos at the end of the day.

Location: Adventist University of the Philippines (AUP)

Oh well… the things I do to get my shot…

I love my J-O-B!

UP Concert Chorus

Vinz — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 09:30:09 +0000

I got the privilege to work alongside other photographers/videographers for the UP Concert Chorus. I was assigned to take group shots of the choir by section. You know… soprano… alto… tenor… bass… Other photographers were asked to shoot their solos and the entire choir. So I took each section to the red brick walls of the UP Theater. Strobist mode. And oh! By the way- VJ IS BAAAAACK!!!! My original tag team partner is back in the mix!

Got some candids too but maybe I’ll just post them later

Ayt! Here we go!

Sunday morning pictorial with the Lifeline Chorale

Vinz — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 01:37:33 +0000

When Allan of the Lifeline Chorale approached me and my photographer friends Mark and Jery for choir photo-ops, he already knew what he wanted us to achieve. So everything was basically laid out for us. He showed us some sample contemporary choir photos he drew from the net for inspiration, found the venue he liked and got the necessary permits, the choir came in with a consistent white-with-cream attire. All we had to do was concentrate on the photography part.

After the group shots, I took portraits of each individual member of the chorale then called it a wrap. Got invited to brunch with the gang, DVD-marathon right after then some pizza. Niiiiice! BIG thanks Lifeline folks! See you at your upcoming concert.

Plug: The Lifeline Chorale will be having their 27th Anniversary Concert at Pasay Adventist Church on December 11, 2009, 7:00 PM.

Jinoe and Quennie :: Engagement Shoot

Vinz — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 01:22:26 +0000

I flew south of Manila to Bacolod to attend Jinoe and Que’s wedding. Under the smoldering heat of the sun we managed to take a bunch of great shots for their prenups. But then I realized that TAKBO.PH‘s first couple must be no stranger to the heat on the road. I just wonder if making PDA in front of my lens is much more taskful than running a 21K .

Location: Pontevedra, Negros Occidental and La Carlotta City.

Quick portraits for Cel

Cel has been nagging me time and again for me to take photos of her. It’s been some time since we last set a schedule for a pictorial. Okay… okay… she wants a new profile photo for her Facebook account real bad.

I obliged.

“The BAND”

Vinz — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 11:39:24 +0000

At least that’s how they want their group called. These four dudes just stood there and asked if they can be shot like they were a rock band or something (boy band maybe? I don’t know). Too bad I didn’t have even a single speedlight with me. What a bummer. I had to make do with those lights similar to those you see in an outdoor basketball court, plus Photoshop, Photoshop and Photoshop!

Sorry, it’s would be a breach of contract for the ROCKIN*PHOTOGRAPHER to appear on other band’s photographs. Hahaha!

Big shout to Bhim, Piong, Eric and Bong!

Afternoon shoot with Rhea

Vinz — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 05:05:30 +0000

Rhea and I have long discussed about a second pictorial. Honestly, I wanted to redeem myself after our first in which I didn’t do justice. So on Wednesday afternoon, I picked up my bags and headed to her apartment. It’s been a while since I shot some portraits. Glad to get my feet wet again. Here are some shots at the rooftop.

Rhea! Thanks for the opportunity! Let’s shoot your friends next!

For equipment geeks out there. Here’s the stuff I brought into play for this shoot- Nikon D80, Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8, Nikon SB-800, white shoot-through umbrella, CTR-301 wireless trigger/receiver.

New lessons learned from my prenup shoot yesterday Before sharing the photos from my most recent engagement shoot,...
