My first and second wedding coverage as back-up photographer

-
After retiring from my work, my batch mate in photography class, Jeng,  asked me if I can lend my assistance during his 2 wedding coverages and I immediately nodded to gain experience in wedding photography.  It was really a new exposure since I am into portraiture that time, I never imagined that I will cover such big occasion like that.  The first one was the wedding of Rodney and Abby and the second  was the wedding of  James and Rhana.  Covering weddings as I learned that day was really an exhaustion...I have to eat full before the event, standing on a very long hours, shoot.... shoot.... shoot....but at the end of the day I felt satisfaction on what I did.  I think Photography is really my passion.

As I am glancing today with the shots I made that day,  I said ...ouch!!!  In my mind, my friend Jeng didn't furnished or included my shot for submission to his client, hmmmm... maybe one or two shots, and I can understand why. :D :D :D

And I do admire my friend Jeng for the gamble he made for me...and I really appreciate it up to now.  Jeng is one photographer I idolized in covering kids birthday party.

After graduating on my FPPF Basic Photography Workshop, I informed my classmates that I will organized a photoshoot for our batch.  The event materialized but only 2 of my classmate made it.  The location was in UP Los Baños and we invited two aspiring models namely Angie Dee and Julie Anne Natividad. Julie became one of our in-house model while Angie didn't push through her modelling due to hectic schedule in her work.  It was my first time of collaborating work with fellow hobbyist photographers.    With Julie and Angie from left to right:   Ronaldo Arban Paet , Julie Anne Natividad , Jhayne Catherine Garvilles , Angie Dee , Michelle Onato , The University of the Philippines Los Baños (also referred to as UPLB , UP Los Baños , and Elbi ) is a public university located in the towns of Los Baños and Bay in the province of Laguna , some 64 kilometers southeast of Manila .  The place is really a photographer's haven but you have...

Dealing With An Angry Person

With the kind of business I’m with there are lots of person I’m dealing with and it can’t be avoided that some got irritated or got angry. Base on my experience I agreed to what I’ve read a while ago. Experts give the following tips on how to deal with an angry person: 1. Determine not to get angry yourself. 2. Physically mirror the position and posture of the other person to help build rapport. 3. Shut up . Don’t defend yourself. Not yet. The person needs to calm down first by saying his piece. 4. Listen to understand . 5. Speak calmly . 6. Use your eyes and face to say, “I hear you and I want to help.” 7. Make an emphatic statement . Like “I can see why you feel that way” or “I’d probably feel the same way you do.” 8. Ask clarifying questions . 9. Wait for the ripe time to offer a rational solution. 10. Don’t exceed the bounds of your authority. If you are not able or authorized to resolve the situation, make a referral to someone who can help. 11. When all else fails , ...
