Why must we feel that we should be perfect all the time?

Embrace your flaws, physical or otherwise. They are a part of you.

OUT ON THE STREET

She asked me earlier, “what pose should I do?”

I answered, “Anything. Do what you want.”

I am not fond of super posed photographs for my random shoots, I think it conceals the emotions I want to portray. That’s why I ask the people I’m shooting to shake the poses off, and be natural. I usually click when they think I’m not clicking.

After months of keeping my camera in hibernation, I was able to exercise its shutter again for a random shoot with my officemates.

The lush green of U.P. Diliman is a perfect (and free!) backdrop, and I’m just one ride away from it.

SUMMER ROMANCE

The heat has driven everyone crazy.

For one thing, here I am, with three of my officemates under the hot morning sun, prepping up for this shoot. It was for nothing actually, I really just wanted to try out my new lens.

We could have spent the day in our own homes, idly letting time slip by, enjoying the tranquil side of a weekday. But this holiday beckons us to push ourselves to new heights. I travelled from my house to the location and was an hour or so late, but at least I made it.

I am happy that my officemates, who care for nothing glamorous, (to which I think they will agree) decided to push their comfort zones and pose in front of the camera.

As a lover of photography and fashion, I am repulsed by a pose that looks too posed. Which is why I click away whenever my friends would laugh, or be in a totally candid moment. The feeling of naturality (is there even such a word?) is something that’s very hard to achieve.
