The SM Megamall Photoshoot
Friday, December 1, 2006
Except for the Manila Baywalk photoshoot with Jovy, I haven't had much bigger photoshoot after Taal. Everytime I visited their shop in SM Megamall, Maldita would always nag me for a photoshoot. When I would ask for a venue, all of them would answer me in chorus the most familiar word, "Here!"
Seriously, I don't think a shop can be favorable for a photoshoot with lots of things to be considered: customers coming in and out; the distracting elements everywhere; I didn't have a flash; lastly, the activity could be against certain company policies. Anyhow, it was just for fun. So, why don't just do it quickly?
My gears are the following: Canon EOS 750QD; Quantaray 28-90mm f/3.5-5.6; and Perutz Primera Color 100.
Wondering why I didn't use digital? I simply miss shooting in film. I missed the thrilling experience shooting with film, a thrill brought out by the idea that mistakes need be eliminated as every mistake is a waste of film. It's the thrill of not making any optical mistakes during the shooting that keeps rushing my blood.
I repeat, the venue is not conducive for the photoshoot with the presence of distracting elements everywhere. It didn’t really demonstrate the simplicity that I was aiming for. Yet again, it was just for fun...
My Princess Jovy :-)
A stare...

Nice bokeh...

Marlyn and Jovy - all smiles...
Marlyn and Jovy are real sweet friends.
Jovy, Maldita, and Marlyn both love flowers.
Marlyn, Jovy and Maldita pose with their Tsinoy friend Steve.
I have to arrange them this way so the photo won't look monotonous.
Just another shot with Steve.
Maldita in her sweetest smile.
Maldita is lost in her thoughts after her weekend vacation in Baguio City turned out disastrous. Her friend Babe accidentally reformatted the multimedia card of her mobile phone camera that contained all her Baguio photos. She has nothing to be posted to her website. Too bad :(

Hi Dodong,
First of all I hope you are OK after that devastating typhoon hit the Phil yesterday.
The pics are fine. The ladies are very pretty.
I am wondering what type of film and scanner did you use to process these images.
Please dont hesitate to ask me if you have some questions regarding digital work flow. This subject is my expertise . I create a digital workflow to photographers here. They consult me for color management like creating profiles etc.
I hope to talk to you soon.

The composition and framing of the photos are ok, not exemplary but ok. If you are fond of using flash, I suggest you use some kind of a diffuser on the flash, try using a strip of negative on the flash itself, to avoid loosing the natural skin tone of your subjects. Or better yet, don't use flash at all and use a tripod or a monopod in natural light. Even with ASA 100 you can make GREAT photos using natural lighting. I give your photos 4.5 with 10 points being the highest. Don't give-up! - J&D -
