DSLR CAMERA

Photography is my passion and not my profession. Becoming a professional photographer would be my dream job because I want to prove to everyone that I can do anything I put my mind to. I just love photography and my inspiration comes from capturing those special moments or bonds between people. I usually like to shoot anything of interest with a bit of creativity and hint of ongoing life. I always try to capture the varying moods and lifestyles of a vast population with diverse culture, language and religion spread over breathtaking landscapes, structures, monuments and settlements of my country Philippines. 

It is my pleasure to have the opportunity to share with you through these images a part of my world and myself. 

The Business of Photography

Making Money and Saving Money Running a Photo Blog

Photo Blogging is the new way to blog free as well as earn money from free blogging.  Basically you post your photos on a blog and start blogging. Photo Blogging is easy and requires just a camera and a blog that helps you make make money free online.

A stock photo is an image that someone could conceivably want to use for something. Imagine if you’ve taken a photo of a pretty girl holding a mobile phone to her shoulder, and typing on her laptop at the same time. If you have a model release for the picture (i.e if the model doesn’t mind her photo being used, and you’ve got a piece of paper confirming that), there are a thousand and one uses for the picture. A newspaper may be doing an article about stress. A magazine may need an image to illustrate the dangers of mobile phone use. An job advert might need to appeal to a female audience. The possibilities are endless, but key to all of this is your photo.

What's so great about blogging? You can share your opinions and get a little side money. Remember those days when all we did was write in a notebook? Well those days are long gone. Now it's time to get with the trends and blog online. !

Child Photography

THE FACE OF MANILA'S POVERTY

She is the victim of poverty and

 ignorance

It is a miserable life that these street children lead, and it is certainly not the kind of life that they would have chosen for themselves. 

Ask any street child, and he would tell you of their simple dreams: to be able to eat properly three times a day, to be in school and study just like well-off kids do, to be able to play with nice toys, to be able to bathe and dress in decent clothes. These dreams of theirs are just simple things that most people take for granted.

In a third-world country like the Philippines, there’s one big problem that the government is having the difficulty to handle: STREET CHILDREN.

So there was Me - secretly wishing I could do something big for them. Every single moment that I bump into these street children, I can always imagine myself being in their shoes (if they even have shoes). And the only thing I can do is to drop a coin, or give them my sandwich, or just pray for them.

INNOCENT SMILE OF CHILDREN

Black and white photographs are timeless; many 

people believe that they are boring but in fact 

they look more professional, specially 

portraits photographs as they tend to be more 

artistic than the colour ones.

Travel Photography

Pagudpud

From fine, white sandy beaches to remarkable cliffs and hidden waterfalls, Pagudpud remains to be a vivid example of a true tropical paradise of Northern Philippines.

Alcoy in Cebu, Philippines

This small province of Cebu City, Philippines 

is not only known for its culture and 

traditions, but most of all with this great 

white sandy beach..

Kabigan Falls

Kabigan Falls is 80 feet surrounded by lush forest and a concave basin and practically reminds us of those picturesque waterfalls of the jungles of the Caribbean

BORACAY, Island Paradise in the Philippines

The Island of Boracay is located about 300 km south of Manila, 2 km east of Panay Island, or 10 minutes by boat away from Caticlan. It is surrounded by the deep blue water of the Sulu Sea westwards and the Sibuyan Sea in the east.
