Fashion Photography by Ryan Macalandag



Lighting Info:
Nikon SB-26 w/ umbrella camera right and above, white background, one reflector camera left and another down below.

Post Process:
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.

Photobin: Trinidad Beauties

Beauty Pageants Photography by Ryan Macalandag
Miss Trinidad Beauty Pageant 2008
Bohol, Philippines

Here are some of the photos from the Miss Trinidad shoot I did las Saturday. The ladies were still young and didn't have any experience with pageants yet but they were quite cooperative during the shoot.

Bravo also to their hair and make-up stylists - all from Trinidad also.









Technical Info:
Shot using a Nikon D80 with a Nikkor 50mm 1.8 lens.

Lighting Info: 1 Vivitar 283 at full-power bounced to a silver umbrella camera right and above, 1 SB24 left and behind subject to light "blue screen" background and act as kicker light. A huge sheet of white illustration board was placed in front and just slightly below the face of subject to act as fill light (and a flattering catchlight as well).

Background is a digitally made art through Photoshop.

Photobin: My New Portable/Home Studio

Studio Photography by Ryan Macalandag



I had made myself a portable/home studio to add to my gear list. It's not the expensive studio equipment but instead the cheap yet sleek and portable. I can bring it almost any where.







I had purchased a background stand in Manila last December from Hobby Depot for a very reasonable price. I also bought background sheets from a local department store. Bought the stiff sheets for cross stitching. Made nice backdrops too.

I had also purchased an old SB-24 online for a steal. I now have 3 flashes including the SB-600 and the Vivitar 283. Cool. Strobist.hehe

The photos above are just some initial experiments. Had some good shots too. Lighting really made the photos pop I think.

Note to self: get real models next time.
