1. Some of my students dont want their names to be dragged into this thread. They have the same reason as to why i also didnt post this workshop even sa fb: Pinoy mentality...daghan storya ug intriga..i was even surprise my name was dragged into one of the workshops posted in this thread..i wished it was a little bit discreet.
2. Lighting: Bro, as much as possible do not even think that you have a lot of talent in post processing that you'd be very confident that you become dependent w/ PP w/ the outcome of you photos..I mean kung maayo kag lighting that it wud make it easier to PP then so be it. Remember..photography is all about lighting even in the darkest situation..I for one am not good with lighting, I still research & ask advise from someone who knows better than me..Ang problema sa uban kay they think asking advice from other people will make them lesser as a hobbyist or a pro. I will soon do good w/ lighting but then people still would think I did it bcoz of photoshop..that i can not control. I only did post processing as long as I did photography..that is 3 yrs only but i did PP bcoz of my passion for photography and not the other way around..Just wanna be honest here.
3. the last photos posted are works of my participant not mine. The photos are mine bcos i want to have my students common photos to work on as it is hard to work on post processing w/ dfrent photos and so i give them photos of dfrent situation to correct and enhance it using my style since it is one of the reason they attended my workshop.
4. if you like my post processing and expect them to have their photos look like mine right after they step out of the class..i guess they havent learn from the workshop. My workshop is actually sharing to particpants all possible workflow within my style but I wish they had the mentality that the real reason is for them to explore new things to apply it but at the same time have their own style..Would you want to go out after the workshop and have people telling you.."wow" ..roy sabay kaayo imo photo da!? maybe you'd want it for a moment..
5. Lastly, I dont use plug-ins or actions that i tell them beforehand that i'm giving them a hardcopy of all these possiblities but the way i edit my photos cannot be put into writing..all my participants can attest to that because in all honesty it is impossible to use the same workfow in all of your photos..soon you will know why..That is why photogrpahy is an art..post processing is another thing
