since PHOTOGRAPHY is almost everyone's passion here in multiply, i would like to share a story of a friend and how she encountered UNPROFESSIONALISM towards her co-workers! 

-i made this blog not to TALK AGAINST OTHER PHOTOGRAPHERS!
-i made this for us to learn and always punctual!
-i made this for us to be aware about EXCHANGE DEALS.
-i made this for us to be ready in the near future!

Here's how the story goes...
(she told me not to name names! just PM her if you guys have an idea)

         I was suppose to be with her on a shoot, but she can't join us coz she had commited a photoshoot to another photographer, and suddenly, the studio we were supposed to rent was booked the whole day. So we just cancelled it!

I PM-ed her and ask her how was the shoot, and i was shocked when i saw her response..... i always expect, it was great! it was fine! saya! She answered,

UNPRO! I HATE IT!

then i started asking why?what happened?....

The shoot should start around 11am, but due to UNPRO-ism, they texted my friend earlier this morning to say that they'll meet in trinoma by 2pm! and the other girl arrived at 3pm!.....

LOCATION: NAVOTAS!

isn't it far? tsk!

The make-up was done at what time? 6PM!(shooting around this time is really hard! well, she told me the photographer is a PRO! ugh, ok! :D he doesn't know what time management means? goodluck)...

THIS IS THE THING!
- she didn't ate LUNCH for this shoot coz she thought they'll all meet by 2pm!
-she thought that when they arrives at the location there will be foods or water!

          She haven't received an offer for a drink, how much will a bottled water cost?20 bucks?30bucks?tsk! and the food.... She actually told her driver to buy food for her and my friend's companion. Then guess what?  They just heard it! They told her, (padeliver na lang tayo ate?) waddafuk! So it means, if you haven't heard my friend ask her driver to buy food, you guys wouldn't bother to offer ANYTHING!She ate around 7PM! including her lunch and dinner!(KAWAWA!)and take this.... your model is suffering from a minor disease called GASTRIC ULCER(that when she eat late or rather SUPER LATE meals, she throws up!)

              You guys are insane! you ONLY got your BENEFITS from her!and what does she get from you???? FEWshots! without even letting her know if it was a great shot or what?(i know i talk too much, this is for her! for what you did, since she can't blog this out!) That's all!

-When you say EXCHANGE DEALS(exdeal or tfp).As a photographer or as the one who invited your co-workers, You should be responsible enough on taking good care of them!(yung tipong wala silang masasabi about you or sa kahit na sino)

-TAMAAN AY WAG MAGAGALIT! dahil TOTOO!

I got bored so i decided to Blog-in some tips on shooting portraits/glamour shots!

-I KNOW THIS BLOG WILL HELP STUDENT PHOTOGRAPHERS LIKE ME LEARN THE BASICS OF PORTRAITURE AND FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY.I AM NO PRO!I'M JUST SHARING/APPLYING WHAT I LEARNED FROM MS. JOY(mentor) WHEN I ATTENDED TWO OF HER GLAMOUR PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP(one in AAV and one in Magallanes Village). The workshop was a bit short for 2 models and for them to have 3 looks each on a given period of time. But if you are very willing to learn PHOTOGRAPHY! every word that comes to her mouth...totally ABSORBED!i swear!

here are some:

PORTRAITURE: (CHILD PORTRAIT)

-IF YOU ARE DOING PORTRAITS OF AN INFANT(0-28 days old) NEVER USE INTERNAL FLASH/EXTERNAL FLASH/STUDIO LIGHTS OR ANYTHING THAT WOULD EMIT HARSH LIGHT.(let us consider the fact that the eyes of an infant is very sensitive when it comes to HARSH LIGHTS, they can be blind)

-IT WOULD BE BETTER TO USE AMBIENT/AVAILABLE LIGHT FOR INFANTS.(just use reflectors give mor elighting effect)

-IF YOU'LL BE POST PROCESSING THE PHOTOS IT WOULD GIVE A DRAMATIC EFFECT IN THE PHOTO IF YOU WILL CONVERT PHOTOS INTO BLACK&WHITE AND SEPIA.

-FOR KIDS(COLORED PHOTOS), IF YOU WILL BE VIGNETTING PHOTOS, ME, MYSELF PREFER TO HAVE A WHITE VIGNETTE.TO GIVE A NOSTALGIC EFFECT ON THE PHOTO.

(FAMILY PORTAIT)

-FOR SMALL FAMILY PORTRAITS(3-4 members), DON'T LET THEM ALL SIT DOWN, GET 2 MEMBERS TO STAND-UP AT THE BACK OF THE OTHER 2 WHO ARE SITTING DOWN. THEN, PUT A HAND ON ONE SIDE OF THE SHOULDER OF A MEMBER WHO IS SITTING DOWN.(same on the other side, JUST TO FORM A TRIANGLE WHICH MEANS CONNECTION ON A PHOTOGRAPH)

-FOR LARGE FAMILY PORTRAITS(5 or more members), SHOW AFFECTION ON THE PHOTO. DO SERIES OF CONNECTIONS LIKE HOLD HANDS,HANDS ON THE OTHER MEMBER'S SHOULDER AND CARRYING BABIES IN THE FAMILY.

-MAKE THE GENERATION SYSTEM EFFECTIVE(like, lolo's and lola's are sitting on chairs.mom's and dad's are standing.APO's are sitting on the floor)

-NEVER SHOOT A FAMILY PORTRAIT WITHOUT HAND CONNECTION, THIS WILL GIVE A VERY UNEFFECTIVE FAMILY PORTRAIT.

FASHION/GLAMOUR PHOTOGRAPHY:

-KEEP YOUR MODEL'S EYE SHARP.

-WHEN A MODEL IS STANDING, NEVER SHOOT HER FROM THE TOP!(he/she would look small)

-PHOTOGRAPHER SHOULD DIRECT MODEL'S POSES(yeah!a photographer is a model/stylist)

-WHEN A MODEL DOES A POSE, AND IT LOOKS AWKWARD, NEVER BE SHY TO CHANGE HER HEAD/CHIN POSITION!(move your head to this side,chin down,chin up....just like that!)

-FIND YOUR MODEL'S BEST ANGLE!

-ALWAYS ASK/DIRECT YOUR MODEL TO EXAGERATE HER POSE.(to give fierce on the photo)

-WHEN A MODEL SMILES, ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT HIS/HER SMILE LOOKS NATURAL.

-WHEN A MODEL'S PURSED LIPS IS NATURAL, NEVER LET HIM/HER POUT/PURSE IT MORE!(this will look a bit trying hard)

-NEVER CUT ELBOWS ON A PORTRAIT!

-NEVER CUT HANDS/FEET ON A PORTRAIT!

-DO NOT GIVE SO MUCH SPACE ABOVE THE MODEL'S HEAD.

-NEVER PUT HARD MAKE-UP ON THE MODEL'S EYE.(this might spoil the sharpness of the eyes)


ORGANIZING A SHOOT:

-DO NOT FORGET TO CONCEPTUALIZE YOUR IDEAS!(on what the model's will look like, what will they wear and how will the shoot goes)

-ON AN EXCHANGE DEAL SHOOT, DON'T FORGET TO ACCOMODATE YOUR MAKE-UP ARTISTS AND DESIGNERS.(like giving them water,treating them major meals and everything you can offer them. REMEMBER, WE ONLY ASKED FOR THEIR HELP/FAVORS.)

-IF YOU HAVE LARGE NUMBER OF PHOTOGRAPHERS, DO NOT FORGET TO MAKE YOUR OWN SYSTEM AND KEEP THE SHOOT AS ORGANIZE AS IT CAN BE.

-DO NOT NAG ON YOU STYLISTS!(be respectful, REMEMBER THEY PUT GLAM ON YOUR PHOTOS)

-ALWAYS INITIATE FOR A PRE-PRODUCTION MEETING WHERE PHOTOGRAPHERS,MODELS AND STYLISTS MEET AND GREET!(talk about the concepts,talk about the clothes, model's nails and hair color, THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!TO HAVE A VERY SUCCESSFUL PHOTOSHOOT!)

MANAGING AND SHOOTING THE PROFESSIONAL WAY!

BUGSY

MOMMY AND DADDY ARE TOGETHER!!!!! I AM THE HAPPIEST!!!!! hahahaha . . . when i heard the word YESTERDAY from the both of them my happiness is surreal!!!!! 

RYAN AND ERIKA!  WE ARE SO HAPPY!

       It is a risk if we will still continue our highfashion photoshoot tomorrow in UP-d. We will not encounter the RAIN, we will be encountering the STORM and you guys know how strange it is. So earlier,  me and the designer(bong) had a conversation if we will still continue this...for me, its up to him!  we are the ones who need his help! :D and he'll just do us a favor/FAVORS! . . . so we have decided to reschedule the shoot....instead of June22 which is tomorrow, we agreed to set another date, June 29, 2008 is the rescheduled date for our shoot! and i hope and wish everyone will agree! We don't wanna waste money and time. and lastly, let's not take the risk....i don't want you guys to have questions in mind if it'll rain or it won't rain tomorrow

PM me for any concern! :D

Just A Thought On Photoshoots
by Tippy Descatamento (http://tippyfield.multiply.com)

It's not just I who experienced this but this has been going on for a long time. Here's a protocol in getting make-up artists for a gig.

1. Save our numbers.
    Please take our numbers when we give it to you. We give it to you so that in cases where we are not available online or vice versa, you can still reach us. Wag mo ding gawing textmate ang make-up artist. Wag mong bolahin.

2. Confirm two days or a day ahead prior to the shoot.
    Don't leave us hanging and letting us guess if it's pushing through or not. A short text message saying "Hey, tommorow's the shoot. See you!" won't hurt right? Wag matakot magtext. Piso lang naman, diba? May unlitext pa at alltext naman. Issue?

3. Give us the Peg prior to the shoot.
    Don't surprise us what the look is that same day. Haggard ka ate!

4. Pro-bono
    Naku eto na. If it's probono, please carefully list our names, and get it right for credits purposes. Probono na nga mali pa ang contact details namin. Double Haggard!

5. TFP and Xdeals
    Mas haggard! Xdeal is used when you are giving a material thing, not money, to someone for his/her services. Whereas, TFP or Trade for print, exhange of services will be in the form of the finish product of the shoot like pictures for that matter.

6. Offer food or drinks
    Since this is your shoot, offer kahit na tubig man lang kung probono. Kahit plastikin mo lang, of course may pera naman kami noh. Chikahin mo na lang na kunwari "you like water?". The mere concern is priceless.. Dahil if you offer, makakaulit ka pa ng probono sa amin. Guaranteed yan mare!

i'm so sorry for so many changes in the plan! :D i thought it would be easy for us to get permit/find and change location.... but i was wrong! :D sobrang hirap pala... :D I'm very sorry for the changes... as of now, i'm still finalizing the location for our big production 2m! :Dplease pray that this is gonna be the last one! :D i'm just gonna update you later :D TULOY TAYO BUKAS!
