Reminders…

Went to a photography talk by Nikon, where the talk was by Manny Librodo, a portraiture photographer from the Philippines.

The talk reminded me lots of things…

1. Always tell stories with your photos

2. Look for colours, contrasts and textures/patters.

3. Be spontaneous.

4. Take photographs of the face, and also photographs of not the face.

5. Natural lights are the best.

6. Always engage with your subject matter.

7. Workshops make you grow faster, at the same time, they may create challenges along the way.

 

And here are some other facts about him…

1. He shoots with JPEG

2. He rarely shoots after 6pm (as there is not much of natural lights).

3. He started out his photography with a compact camera.

4. As he was a teacher, he used to have his students pose for his portraitures.

5. He may spent hours in front of his computer to do post processing.

 

Can’t wait for another talk tomorrow: Wildlife.
