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: Out of School Kids
Photo by Ryan Macalandag
This photo was shot in Trinidad, in their gym where the basketball court is. This area is the service entrance/exit. There was a event inside the gym with a lot of elementary and high school students attending. These two kids, apparently don't go to school but were attracted to the loud and raucous cheering inside. They just wanna be part of it all, somehow.
However, this girl below is probably too young to go to school, but all too eager to be with all the other kids too. She was giddy watching the young marching band as they passed by.
This little girl was awed by the performances on stage. She's not yet in school. She probably has a brother or a sister from among the students inside. Or she could be a teacher's daughter.
So, these are the school children who were inside the gym to watch the event. They were given bread and a tetra pack juice for snacks. No wonder the two boys outside wanted to go in.
One of the students inside were friends with the out-of-school boys hanging out by the service exit. He went outside to hand to them a packed juice and a sandwhich he had nicked from the lady who distributed the snacks.

Photobin: Jack the Electrician
Portrait Photography by Ryan Macalandag
This is Jack. He works as an electrician for the local government unit of Trinidad, Bohol. He's probably like the head electrician 'coz he does a lot of stuff and has about 3-5 people working under him. When I went to Trinidad (for the town photography), Jack was one of the more interesting people I met. On my second visit, they we're assembling 4 huge-ass sub-woofers for the town gym.
Shot using a Nikon D80 w/ a Nikkor 50mm 1.8 lens attached.
