Survey #1

I received one reply from my survey. "yes boss! your pictures are great!" One down! On with getting more. I'm promising these clients that I won't be stopping to improve my skills for them. :)

What's Next?

So what's next after the stage shot. For one, I will need to do more stage shots before I can say I'm a stage event pro. I'm thinking of product shots now. This is challenging since I will need to set up my mini studio. I'm excited about it. I'll try it later if I won't have a meeting with a potential client in advertising. :)

I'm really starting to get bore with work. I can't wait to go full-time with what I love doing more. Planning is very crucial at this time. Too many things to do and consider but I'm excited at the same time. Wish me luck! :)

Stage Shots Revised

Time to upload the final images for the stage event. Nothing much done here but I think that'll do. :)





Survey

I started sending out survey to my previous clients so I'll know how I really did with my shoot and what to improve more. I want to know what they look for in a photographer. It'll help me a lot. Let's wait and see...

Re Stage Shots

My greatest mentor, John Chua, told me one time not to come up of "satisfactory" photos. Always show people "great" shots! I'm thinking about my stage shots shared a while ago. I'm not satisfied with what I've posted. I should do PP and come-up of the final images before sharing anything. That's what I'm going to do tonight. It really bothers a lot if my images are just "satisfactory". On the other hand, I enjoy a lot when I have great pics! It's one super big self-fulfillment. :)

Stage Shots

This is the first time I tried using the kit lense with 580EX on a stage event and it went well! I love the result. It lacks sharpness but a little PP will do. Not bad for the kit lense. It almost work like a 2.8. Some professionals may not agree but I'm just making the most out of what I have now. Those are pro shots (after PP that is) and I know they'll agree! I'm excited to shoot more stage events. My "boss" also bought me an omni bounce to improve lighting. I can't wait to try it! O:-)

Wedding Fashion Show

Here's one of my "making-ups". This is a wedding and lingerie fashion show which was held in Angeles Beach Club Hotel in Angeles City. Such a beautiful hotel. The rooms are so much better compared to other hotels in Angeles and Clark. Shhh... :) I learned again a lot in the event. Lighting was difficult (not much ceiling to make the bounce) and I'm still using the kit lense which is poor for evening shots. I repositioned myself and I was still able to get some decent shots. I can't wait to upgrade my lense. I'm enjoying fashion photography. :)

Here are three pics only. There are more behind the scenes shots (dressing room) but I promised the models that it'll be for their eyes only. :)

No updates yet...

Yesterday, I promised to make-up with photo updates. There are no updates as you can see. O:-) Something came up and I needed to attend to it. I'm trying to close a deal with a company for their advertising needs. This is also what I love doing and I'm enjoying it. I just hope the big bosses will like my work and move on with the project. I already have a wedding photoshoot, kiddie b-day photoshoot, and now, advertising. I'm really enjoying. I'm learning a lot.

Going back to my promises, I hope I can come up of some photos tonight. :)

It's been a while...

I promised myself I'll be updating my blog with new photos but I failed. As much as I want to make-up, I don't have my images here at work. I have been too busy with quite a lot of photoshoots and projects. I hope I can share something tonight. I have added my blog in my "to do list". :)
