Event Photographer

I'm starting to really love this kind of job. I enjoy doing it and I'm improving. There are a lot of challenges but I'm learning to overcome them. Camera settings, flash settings, available light, venue space, wall textures, etc. It's also nice to see people smiling at you. Well obviously, yes, they will smile. LOL. The latest event I covered is a 1-yr-old birthday party. It's my 3rd 1-yr-old birthday party coverage since I started event photography 3 months ago! Fourth one is on October. I wish to get more. :) Here are some photos from the recent shoot:











Thanks to my best bud Badette and fafi Brye for putting their faith in me. I'm no veteran but I'm very happy they loved the images. It's flattering to hear words like "I want them all printed!!!" ;-)

Optimus Prime!

Meng, a good friend of mine, bought himself a toy. It's literally a toy. :-D It's a 12-inch Optimus Prime. Yeap, the Autobot daddy. My fiancee will definitely kill me if I bought myself one of these. It's not a cheap toy but it's just that boys will always be boys regardless of the age. Ladies, please understand that. ;-) Meng is very much in love with his Optimus Prime so as a tribute, I took some pics of it using my mini studio. :)





Feel free to email me if you wish to see the rest of the set. mtoldoya@yahoo.com

Cheers! :)

Done with the crab!

The month is almost done and I'm also done with the crab. :) After starting from scratch, I found out that I still end up very similar to the first one I did. I guess I was doing the right thing after all. :) I asked a bunch of people about it and they all liked it! One comment from a friend though is the reason for cutting the main subject has to be compelling. I appreciate that one. But I did cut it as I meant it to be. :) I have some criticisms/comments with my own work also but I didn't hear them from those people so I guess I passed the test. But I'll keep on improving! By the way, the people I asked are consisting of businessmen, photographers, computer geeks, and caterers. I'm done with the crab! LOL. Below is the final image. The print output of this one is simply "yummy"! :)
