26^th of January, 2010

Before my trip to the Philippines, an acquaintance of mine, Grace had an interest in photography. So, she requested that I would give her a small lesson on it. Given that this outing was more a learning experience, I decided to do some work on a new style of editing. The area we shot at was in Ybor City, which has a strong historical background in itself. Because of the historical aura of Ybor, giving my photos an antique/sepia look would seem proper.

While we were walking around, we kept running into these old pianos around the street.

Just keep on shooting.

Shoot Location: Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center

I had the opportunity to do a photo shoot with a friend I went to high school and college with. We shot at the Gaylord Palms because 1. I was staying there at the time and 2. There’s enough décor to do a photo shoot for a week.

I attempted to do a more candid approach rather than a pose and shoot but I managed to get a combination of both. Nonetheless it was good practice for me to tell the subject what to do and tell him/her what I expect in a shoot. Unfortunately during this time, my flash unit was still under repair but it gave me an opportunity to focus more on ambient lighting. It was nice to catch up with an old friend as well.
