"I've been X'd!"

It's been quite a while since I posted some of my photos on this site. I haven't been able to update in ages too so I'm doing this now, it's time to show you some of the things that kept be busy last year. This hasn't been shown yet in Facebook... well I guess it hasn't been shown; but if I did I might have shown it only to a few people. So you are lucky I'm doing this now.

For those who don't know yet I'm a Fashion Photographer and part of the milestone that happened last year was the chance to be on my idol's workshop. Some only dream of this but I had the chance to be taught by my sensei Xander Angeles. He's the guy that puts those babes in front of those glossy magazines like FHM, MEGA, etc. I love his work and what great news that I also got to be with his apprentice at that time Niko Villegas. Both masters at this craft I was sure to learn a thing or two about the genre that I was passionate about.

Here are some of my shots! Enjoy!

This set is called "I've been X'd!" to pay homage to the one who was teaching me how to do these shots last August. Xander Angeles was really on a class of his own. Thank you so much for everything Jedi Master heheh this budding fashion photographer really learned a lot and I want to thank you for everything!

Neat Scrubs!

This year has been a blast! I love how it started and ended. I was blessed with so many friends and got to go out of the country with my folks too. I also got to see relatives that I haven't met for a long time! My cousins are all in the medical field. Most of them are nurses, physical therapists and medical technologists. I on the other hand ventured into a different one since I am a Computer Engineer by profession. I still see them wear nursing scrubs every now and then. I am not surprised because they need this for work. It's one of the most comfortable things to wear I'm sure and mind you they come in different designs and colors. Fashion wise, they are not that far behind. I haven't caught them wearing anything bland last year and this year it wouldn't be the same.



I wore something similar a few years ago because they gave me one. I used it in lieu of my pajamas and it was really neat that I could sleep with it. Imagine they were all using it as uniforms and I was feeling so comfortable I got to use it for sleep! I want to bring back the favor though so before they all become so busy during the New Year's Eve... they can wear something new. The scrub clothing would really look great on them. I didn't have time to buy them anything for Christmas presents so this would do. They are expecting a lot of people to flock the hospitals this New Year because of the culture of fireworks in this side of the world. No matter how dangerous it may seem they all still do it. I hope there would be less of them this year so my cousins wouldn't be too tired when they go back on the 1st for lunch.

Happy New Year everyone!

Recovering... Getting there!

Sorry guys I haven't actually posted much of my activities this Christmas Season because I was down with the flu the whole week. It was very hard for me to even look at the monitor or stand up or even eat because everything felt miserable. I felt really bad that I couldn't even get to celebrate with my family but I think I am recovering. I'm still sick but I'm getting there and hopefully after a week or so I'd be able to go back on my feet and write the hell out of this joint ha-ha!

I was planning to watch a movie later but I'm weighing my options since I don't want to go out sick and just chill inside the movie theaters. I better check myself if I can do it otherwise I should just stay at home and get some well needed rest. I also plan to go somewhere this year and it'll cost me an arm and a leg. I'll try it though... no harm in trying so they say.

I want to go to my friend's house so I can give gifts to my god daughters/godsons. A late gift is still a gift after all. I don't want to be the bad "ninong" when the time comes and they would only curse me after a few years LOL. Anyway, I'm back and that's great news to start the new year right?!

Thanks for staying guys, I owe you a lot! You know who you are! =)

Perfect Branding Ideas

This weekend was really a good one for me. I had time to create new business cards for my site, my photography business and my day job. I've got an alter ego to say the least but I had to keep it that way so I would stay organized. It may look like I have 3 personalities but the clientele is different. I seldom have people who need services that overlap with them but if ever I do I try to still see if they would lean towards one or the other. I don't actually have that much thought put into the company name for the photography business nor have I made a logo for it but I'm trying my best to still represent a brand with just the name. This reminds me... I think it would be better to have my own Custom Logo Design now that I'm gearing towards making this an official brand.

My idea of still having the word "light" on it stays to pay homage to my Masters. I've been lucky that I was taught by the best in the industry. I have this certain notion of having my brand to be at par with what they have been doing in the fashion photography industry and I'm killing most of my shots because of it. I only want to release those which pass my standards and I won't second guess myself this time like when I initially used to a few months back. It was really hard to tell you the truth; but if I'm going to do this and do justice to what they have taught me I have to play the right game. I want to be represented with a brand that would stand out from the crowd. I want to be more than the usual. I want it modern and unique but I have to make sure it represents me and my work well. Maybe institutions like LOGOMOJO can do the deed; I'll try and see if they can help me.

What do you think I should call this then?! Do you have any suggestions?!
