Validation

A short film by Kurt Kuenne

Having problems with making people smile? You gotta watch this film. Every photographer worth a damn should learn from this guy. When shooting portraits, talk to your subjects, coax them, make them at ease, make them smile, or smirk. Or cry, be mad. Or whatever. Key here is to connect and bring out true emotions that you'd wanna capture for posterity.

Learn to talk and give compliments.



I need a compliment, too. Hit me with your best shot. :p

Glimpses of My Father's Barrio

Photography by Ryan Macalandag

These are some of the images I took when I last went home to this little barrio in the mountains of Danao, Bohol, Philippines. My father is from here and he was speaking at the elementary school's graduation ceremonies when we went.





First thing you can really notice when coming here are the kids running around playing. My earliest recollection of my first visit was when we went into this little barrio through a curvy, swervy, narrow heckuva road and out of nowhere pops out this little place crawling with children. The little critters were following the pick-up truck we were on. They didn't see motorized vehicles too often during those times.



That's my pop in the middle of the huddle with our lunch of fresh water crabs and shrimp.



Me with a few of my cousins.

Actually this photo is a throw-away..way too overexposed..i just did some major rescue photoshop...but couldn't salvage her other arm..thus the crop.

I still have to get the name of the model, director, stylist and MUA.
