pRodUCt ShooT

my first product shoot...

a friend,church-mate and a co-ministry worker is working for a research company. she approached me and ask if i can do a product photograph..."certainly..i'd loved to" thats my answer..without any idea on how am i gonna do that product shot.then "prepare some samples, send it to me by email so that my boss can see it.ask your friends how much it will cost us for two products.." was the next lines i got from her...waaaahhhh.. i dont have any sample, i dont know how much is the rate(they will pay me??)...next thing, i found myself lurking into the internet to do some research..omg...pressured on my first assignment...and here are the results....

sample products i did.


The Products shots result...used some white drawing paper from our site office, formboard for fill, a borrowed SB800 from bro. jezreel(tnx bro!)

i've been doing DIY gadgets and lighting mod's for my flash (SB800)...i found this website www.diyphotography.net...you can find lots of photography tips, tricks and DIY illustration how to do a home made version of photography gadgets and gizmos at a very less cost...sometimes no cost at all.all you need to have is time,patience and be a handyman.

well, at first parang ayoko gawin kasi bka di umipek...sayang lang ang oras ko...but i still decided to give it a go...i made a DIY beauty dish..made from a palangana, empty CD case (100pcs cap.), spray paint(white and black), screws,tin can sheet and concave mirror...i'll make a separate posting for the DIY beauty dish...for now, im interested to share the portraits after some PP ehancement....


im happy with the results, its kindahard to find the right angle since the beauty dish diameter is relatively small...i think im gonna make a bigger beauty dish....please do comment..for improvement..

whew!! kakagutom tuloy..hehe..after our wedding, cathy's family and my family went for a short trip to batangas..forgot the name of the place,since my mind was set for a diving trip to bohol or palawan,but i kinda liked it din afterwards.being with our family and spend some quality time with them are priceless. to think that we will be staying for a couple of weeks lng kaya make the most of it na..mejo kaka ngarag lang din.almost every other day we have to travel from my moms place to her place..las pinas to binan..commuting, the pila, the traffic, the init...haha! nakakaloka! pero masaya kasi kasama ko ung wife ko...

anwyay back to the trip to batangas..i did a sunset pictorial with my sister..astig dalaga na sya..di ko akalain na ganun kabilis ang panahon...thanks to my assistant (my wife) for this photoshoot..



cant believed that i actually photograph my kid sister..kahit na nung nag PP ako nung mga shots ko..parang di ako makapaniwala..dati karga karga ko lng sya pag namamasyal sa southmall..ngaun nagtu-two piece na...

i did some random shots din around the place...
