I got the privilege to work alongside other photographers/videographers for the UP Concert Chorus. I was assigned to take group shots of the choir by section. You know… soprano… alto… tenor… bass… Other photographers were asked to shoot their solos and the entire choir. So I took each section to the red brick walls of the UP Theater. Strobist mode. And oh! By the way- VJ IS BAAAAACK!!!! My original tag team partner is back in the mix!
Got some candids too but maybe I’ll just post them later 
Ayt! Here we go!

Updates

My blog and I have been on an LQ lately. I have lost track on how many blogs I have started but failed to continue. Sayang. But anyway, here’s a little attempt to keep things fresh.
Anything up my sleeves?
So far, my engagement and wedding gigs commence on April, but there are some exciting shoots this month too. If you have read my older blog posts, I have been asked several weeks ago by the most recent batch of UP Concert Chorus trainees for a pictorial. This time around, we’re doing photo ops for the whole Korus. That’s right- they’re no other than UP’s official choir. Honestly, way back my college days, I fancied with the idea of auditioning for Korus. But I got three left feet, and I got no groove in my body. There are just no dance cells in my brain. So… never mind. They’re still the coolest choral group I have ever seen on stage.
They’re staging a series of “Pamamaalam” farewell concerts before they embark on their world tour for 2010. (See schedules below)
Pictorial is on Sunday.
Another thing, I finally have time to sit down and redesign my own site. I’ve been busy developing stuff for clients while my own website had to be moved to the back of the line. Projects are about to be finished and I have time. Yey!
So there, I can’t wait to get back in action. RAKENROL!

That is the BIG question that we don’t know the answer.
But we were glad to tag along with them on a long drive to Bolinao to scout for a retreat venue by the seaside. So aside from surveying and documenting the place, my telephoto lens can’t help but switch into paparazzi mode once in a while.
As to when Henday and Dodong* will finally tie the knot, we can only wait. But when it comes… RAKENROL!
*Not their real names, but they know who they are and they both would insist this is NOT a prenup. Yet

We got invited to shoot and assist our friend Mark during a prenup task. So we took care of the candids while he directed the couple. Well, we were instructed not to release any photos yet so they could surprise their friends, but we’re allowed to post some “anonymous” shots. Yehey!
Let’s wait 3 months for the rest of the shots…

If I’m not doing major gigs like prenups and weddings, I shoot behind my best photography buddies Mark and Jery. They’re really awesome dudes too. When we got our own gigs, we usually work together. We set out to Cavite yesterday to shoot behind Mark’s prenup gig and as soon as we called it a wrap, we braved ourselves to stand in front of a camera. Wooot!
That’s me on the center. I’m not on crack!
OK That’s enough vanity. We’re not good at this. Give me back my camera!
Behind the Scenes
By Vinz, on January 7th, 2010
Behind-the-Scenes! All the while I thought the Korus trainees where taking snaps of themselves while waiting for the others’ solos to be finished. I didn’t know they too were taking shots of me and my awkward shooting positions. Hehehe! Thanks heaps!

Ayt! See shots from our photo session here.

So far this has been the closest I have been to working with my favorite choir of all time. Niiiice! Gaile asked me to help them out with photos they could use for their audition concert materials and so I took on the task. No need to coach these UPCC trainees for poses. They already got that Korus “swagger”!
Thanks Pola, Sybil, Maki, Liane, Eenna and Gaile. Asteeeg kayo! I should make every effort to attend your concert. Wag makalimot ‘pag members na kayo

2009 has been has been a pretty great year getting my feet wet into photography. Still learning the ropes and bounds and coping very well. And now that 2009 is in the books, my portfolio is decently building up pretty well. Still, I believe that I am barely hitting my potential. I know I can deliver better results in the future.
That said, I am grateful to friends who provided me opportunities to work for them, and I am looking forward to more gigs in 2010.
The new year looks bright. Things are getting more fun! I’m very excited.
God bless ya’ll and may you be happy the whole year round.

Engagement | Prenups
By Vinz, on December 23rd, 2009
My times with Kuya Teofy date back to our university days in UP. We both were part of the same religious organization, and he’s finally tying the knot with Ate Edna in a few days.
But before the pictures, here’s some sidestory why this dude is special- There was this one night just at the outskirts of the UP campus, there were four of us crossing the streets when a group of young boys attempted to rob me off my cellphone. I was being threatened at knife-point,when Kuya Teofy jumped in and tried to grab one of those criminals. To cut the story short, the robbers were successful taking my phone away, Kuya Teofy and I both got lacerations but we were both alive. It’s nice to think that this dude would take a knife for me. For that I’m very thankful. I know I would do the same for him, but I hope it won’t come to that. Hehe!
Okay.. okay.. prenup photo-ops @ AUP (My 2nd time to shoot prenups there). It was getting dark when we started but we managed to get some cool shots nonetheless. Just a few days and I’ll witness Ate Edna marry this superhero!
