Live & Let Live & Own Thy Art

Lyane O.

My Favorite Librarian

[video librarian, that is - for ABS-CBN]

In the Media Pool [PBA & UAAP] [so I heard] - I have this rep for photographing pretty girls. Hmmm, Photographing pretty girls . . . so what's the big deal 'bout that ?? Tell me. I've been teased about it [kinakantsawan] occasionally and it is no secret that people have uttered uncalled for remarks and even labels about me.

[Is that a cultural thing then ???? Ha!! Kidding!]

But seriously, Yes ->seriously - When it comes to creating images - It is always a serious artistic matter for me. If others look at what I do - in a different light - By all means - Let them.

I say - Live and Let Live.

[EDSA Galleria]

I'm not a perfect photographer, neither is my style or approach. I can be makulit at times, but only because sometimes I try too hard to get that elusive hard-to-find moment and capture it.

I've paid my dues, as far as available light and studio portraiture is concerned [I prefer the former, though] having shot for over a decade, and have had extensive laboratory/darkroom experience with Film [35mm and 120 medium format].

I do try to capture a lot of stolen moments [of jocks and spectators alike] [and it is definitely not easy to get a great stolen shot] but will occasionally try the simple approach of asking politely. I have no set formula for getting the right image but I almost always find away to craft an image that is both technically and artistically competent.

And I know this for a fact -

I have my own style - and do have my own "touch" [modesty aside].
ergo . . .

I "Own My Art"

The most important thing is that I continue honing my skills every single opp I get - and hopefully become a better photographer after every click of the shutter. It is that simple.

Angela G.

Probably the most soft spoken female photographer around - ever so fragile-looking Angela, mind you, shoots hard news. She has a "humble mystery'

[for lack of a better descript] about her - that's why I enjoy photographing her.

Ericka A.

Certainly one of the most animated, if not the most "physically expressive" [not in the "touchy, feely" way but in the "napakaenggano magkuwento" way ---> complete with facial expressions ! ] girls in the media pool - I did notice Ericka way back 2010 - and have continuously tried to steal shots of her "more expressive moments" ever since -> up to the present day.
