Tina

Tina is the third model I shot for the bridal gown shoot that I was asked to be part of.

What I really liked about this image is how Tina's elegant features and expression, combined with the background garden and walls of an old fortress in Intramuros, gives the look of a Fairy Tale movie poster.

I typically don't frame my subjects in the center, but I was experimenting with the composition and this would have been appropriate if I tweaked this image with Photoshop and made it into the aforementioned movie poster. Maybe I will, later on. :D

As part of my strobist training, this is also one of the times when I opted not to dial down the shutter speed to come up with a darker background (I'm normally biased towards a darker background). I like how the colors seem to pop.

Location: Casa Verde, Intramuros

The Princess Bride

Another one of my favorite pics from the Bridal photoshoot at Casa Verde Intramuros.

Shel is such a good model, and her range of expressions is awesome. We had this one image where her expression is the total opposite of what she has in this image (but I like my models smiling, so I'm posting this one first).

Model: Shel Angeles

Waiting in the Shadows

I was recently invited to a photo shoot to showcase a beautiful set of wedding gowns for the fashionable bride.

It was an outdoor location shoot at a park in Intramuros. I saw this arch with just enough overhead foliage to allow pools of light to flow through which I thought would make a wonderful pattern on the dress.
