I’ve been practicing shooting studio portraits with my lovely wife and youngest daughter.I used 3x110w/s studio lights for main, hair and background; and a Canon 550ex flash for fill. With the help of a chroma green background, I easily replaced it with a textured background in photoshop. Also used my homemade graycard to set a proper white balance.

May 10, 2008, 4:00am at St. Luke’s Medical Center. My wife was schedule to deliver our 4th child thru a caesarian section. I asked her doctor if I can be inside the operating room to take pictures during the operation. Fortunately, she agreed with a strict condition, that I should maintain my consciousness during the whole period I’m inside. ;DHere are some of the photos I took.Initially, the

I'm always fascinated by colors red and gold, by photos with dramatic lighting and by any materials having a nice uneven textures. What if all these factors come together in a single image? That would be amazing, isn't it?An inspiration that led me to conceptualize and produce this image of Shai, a Filipina living in Canada, who visited the Philippines just after graduating a business management

This was during the 2nd year anniversary celebration of Pinoy Photography Organization (Pipho). I helped out in preparing the models for the shootout on the later part of the program. And while waiting for the cue to send the models out, I heard two of the models giggles inside the bathroom. Asked them if i can enter to take a quick snap. Checked the cubicles out and instructed the ever

I'm planning a shoot on June 11, Monday, with atleast five (5) models, two (2) makeup artists, and two (2) stylist. A big shoot indeed, but I'm having a problem with the location :( It's just a few more days and yet I haven't confirmed any place to stage the shoot.If anyone know of a good place to shoot (an old or modern house, warehouse, themed flower garden, etc.)within the metro, please,

Some friends asked me: "How much post processing do I make on my photos?"Well, it depends on the photo. But most of the times, I try to limit my post processing to just enhancing some features of the subject and to retouch some of the undesirable conditions which can't be mended during the time when I took the shot. On portraits, I usually intensify the eyes and refine the skin of my subject/

"Relax.... With all that music at your fingertips, you may never want to stop listening."No, it's not for an ad. But can be, right? It was just a relaxing break from a shoot. An american model, Robert Cabino, sits on a corner and listens to his favorite music while im shooting the other model. It's a perfect timing when I glanced over and saw him relaxing in his cushy way.

When I see my kids watching the Power Rangers on TV, I remember a same show during the 80s. Not sure about the title but if my recollections are still dependable, it was the Star Rangers. That show was the inspiration when we did this group hug. Although from the original, no member of the rangers wear white (I should be wearing pink then). Photo taken by Jason Lo (the ranger wearing blue)

Meet Erika, an advertising student and a daughter of a friend. No experience modelling in a photoshoot but projects well in front of a camera. She joined my photoshoot twice but had herself committed to join all my shoots during the summer vacation.

In the beginning, everything is dark and black. Then I proceeded to say: "Turn on the strobe and the modeling lights." Then there came to be light. Then I said: "Let the makeup artist create her art onto the faces of the models and make them glamorous and charming." And it was done. And I went to say: "Let the models under the roof be brought together into one place between the lights." And it
