An image documentation on Forest Carbon Measurement in Nueva Vizcaya

I’ve been slowly rebuilding my galleries on my new photos page and prioritizing a lot of my works first as an opportunity to build a much decent portfolio of professional works. One project I really enjoyed working on before was the Primer on Forest and Climate Change in Nueva Vizcaya. Up now on the galleries are a few selected photos from the hundreds shot during that project. You can check the gallery here.

Save the Children Postcards and Gallery

Save the Children Mission Postcard

Save the Children Mission Postcard

I had the pleasure of working with the Philippine chapter of the worldwide NGO Save the Children a couple of years back but wasn’t able to post some details. We took several photos of schools and children where the organization had projects. What’s interesting about the work aside from interacting with the local communities is I had to shoot full Hi-res JPEGs since the client was strict about “untouched” photos and most of the children they would use for their materials need model releases from their parents. I’ve recently uploaded some of my selected photos from the hundreds I shot there. You can see them at the Save the Children Gallery.

Environmental Portraits: Corregidor Tour Guide

Mang Pol Curato

Mang Pol Curato (Olympus E-PL1, Lumix 20mm, f1.8, 1/1250sec, ISO 200, )

His name is Pol Curato, we simply call him Mang Pol. He was our guide from our recent tour in Corregidor Island. He’s been guiding here for about 3 decades now, a heritage himself yet still witty in his lectures and trivia.

Here he raises an illustration of some victorious Japanese along with the gun at Battery Hearn, where we were at that time.

Backpack Photography will be having a Photo Tour in Corregidor. Join us on July 2-3, 2011 as we show you how to Capture Corregidor in a New Light.

Silverkris Makati Art in the City

Silverkris Makati Art in the City Opening Spread

It’s a great experience to have worked again with a different international inflight publication this time just to see their work process. Asked what cosmopolitan city we can easily feature aside from Manila, we pitched the idea of Makati and its ever growing creative spots. It’s a bit of challenge to shoot around Makati since it’s one of the most unfriendly places for photographers, but we managed to pull it off. If you’re flying anytime this month via Singapore Airlines, don’t forget to check out the SilverKris Inflight Magazine and the feature story on Makati, “Art in the City”.

Coffee Origins Exhibit at Greenbelt 5

Coffee lovers have a reason to troop to Greenbelt 5, Ayala until next week. The Coffee Origins Exhibit is running at the Gallery Bridge at the 2nd level. I’m not really a coffee enthusiast but it’s a project I’m involved with like last year as the creative guys behind the booth designs used my photos from Lake Sebu, Bacolod and Iloilo on their booth. Check it out.

Dispatch: On Assignment Bohol Adventure

Veranda View at Peacock Garden Resort

View from my room veranda at Peacock Garden Resort in Bohol (Olympus E-PL1, Zuiko 9-18mm)

Third time’s a charm as they say! In a span of a month I’ve been to Bohol for the third time. I just came home from a magazine photo assignment which I may say is so far the most physically challenging and also life-risky shoots I’ve done. It’s all about adventure I say and it was hell lot of fun. As much as I liked to do a daily dispatch, I can’t divulge much detail until the issue is out.
