—Bagaimanakah anda mula menceburkan diri dalam industri fotografi?

—I was passionate about photography since I was young. It's after looking at some stunning Wedding pictures done by top photographers that I was inspired to follow the same route. The freedom of creativity is what I enjoy the most into Wedding Photography.

—Adakah anda seorang yang fotogenik?

—I would say half photogenic

—Apakah komponen paling penting sekeping foto yang bagus menurut pendapat anda?

—It depends. I'm very committed into my job and I'm very generous in what I do (always deliver more photos than promise). I cannot do this job halfway. Therefore, I don't like people criticizing what I do since they don't know how much I give into what i do.

—Apakah perkara yang patut dielakkan semasa penggambaran?

—Apakah masa depan fotografi?

—Digital imaging has unleash creativity from photographers. I do not see it change when I see how people love pictures so much and love creative pictures. I sometimes fear that phones will replace proper cameras since it is already happening into the hotel industry nowadays. They less and less call upon professional photographers but rely on enthusiasts "instagrammers" to remain active on social networks and use phone pictures and vintage look to keep "in".

—Apakah yang istimewa dalam genre fotografi yang anda sedang mengkhusus?

—Freedom of creativity, magic moments, emotions and... clothes, special mood and atmosphere, being able to direct any kind of people from simple gentlemen and ladies to CEOs and Corporate directors to do whatever you want them to do, :-)

—Apakah sepatutnya menjadi kriteria untuk seorang pelanggan memilih jurufoto?

—First of all, it's important that the bride and groom identify themselves with the photographer and his work, the choice should be made by whether they consider he is the one who's worth recording their lifetime memories. Then, they should absolutely watch an entire wedding shot by the one they chose. I like being approached by future weds who know a thing or two about photography and who got their mind set on what they really want.

—Bagaimanakah anda mula menceburkan diri dalam industri fotografi?

—I started taking pictures in 2000 and shooting weddings in 2008. At first, I didn't want to do weddings, I thought it would diminish my work. But I started anyway and found the most challenging environment, I discovered that no matter what type of photography you do, you can always reinvent yourself and find new ways to tell a story. Especially when you meet extraordinary people all the time :)

—Adakah anda seorang yang fotogenik?

—I consider I ain't, but it so happens that on occasion some other photographer catches the good/bright sight of me.

—Apakah komponen paling penting sekeping foto yang bagus menurut pendapat anda?

—First & foremost, the people involved and their mood (if you're shooting people), then the light (I began ”seeing” the light after years of shooting) and the decisive moment. I don't agree that the quality of a photograph is not important, but it indeed comes in second after the feelings it produces.

—Adakah anda minat mengembara?

—So much that if it would be possible I would be traveling all the time.

—Apakah yang paling anda sukai mengenai kerjaya anda?

—The diversity – today I'm shooting a wedding, tomorrow a baptism, after tomorrow a concert, then a family portrait, a corporate event or some landscape. It's what keeps me connected all the time.

—Apakah yang paling anda tidak suka mengenai kerjaya anda?

—Having too much to edit.

—Bagaimanakah cara anda menangani kritikan?

—I'm all in for constructive criticism, don't like destructive one. That's why we're here on My Wed, right? To constantly learn from other photographers and document ourselves about where we are as wedding photographers. I, for one, would like to hear more criticism about my work and where to improve. Here's an idea: you could implement a section where each photographer could post one photo/week for critique :D

—Apakah perkara yang patut dielakkan semasa penggambaran?

—Getting in front of the photographer.

—Apakah masa depan fotografi?

—I think it is constantly evolving and that we'll always see changes for the good. We'll always have trends that come and go, the important thing is to know who you are and do what you really like, not necessarily follow the hype.

—Apakah yang istimewa dalam genre fotografi yang anda sedang mengkhusus?

—Oh, everything about it is special. I must admit I suffer when someone refers to it as a banality, thinking that ”real artists” don't do wedding photos. Special is meeting new people, seeing new places or facing new challenges. Besides war photography, I find it the most challenging type, you get to meet all kinds of situations during one day: different light every minute, you get to shoot outdoors and indoors, in plain sun or in the shadow of a tree/building, inside a cave or on a mountain top etc. etc. Need I say more?

—Pertama sekali – siapakah yang boleh anda namakan sebagai jurufoto terbaik di Manila? :)

—There are lot of good photographers in Manila.. I mean a lot! it's very hard to pick one.

—Apakah sepatutnya menjadi kriteria untuk seorang pelanggan memilih jurufoto?

—Quality and skills.

—Bagaimanakah anda mula menceburkan diri dalam industri fotografi?

—After I left my previous work (i'm an engineer). I decided to go full-time in photography, that was 5 years ago. Back then, I tried different genres of photography (street, landscape, product, etc.) But later on, focused on wedding and portrait photography because it has been my bread and butter since I left my previous job.

—Apakah yang paling anda sukai mengenai kerjaya anda?

—Apakah yang paling anda tidak suka mengenai kerjaya anda?

—I absolutely hate inconsiderate wedding suppliers, well i have no choice but to deal with them and act professional.

—Bagaimanakah cara anda menangani kritikan?
