Dear Au (Au Lim. For viewers, see comment box to your right or below depending on current page design),
            I saw your portfolio including the nudes (that looked like sculpture because of the lighting) in your blog site. Wow. You should have been working for Life Magazine. You should be joining contests. You should be winning awards. I’m embarrassed now to take any photos. Maybe i’ll just leave the photography to you and i’ll do the write-up.
           Here’s that photo of Prof. Ces Conaco again. I was putting up
     

 

CROP, LIGHT, HEALING WAND (somebody stop me)

excuses that i didn’t have control of the light, the model, the time, etc.), but i could always retouch the light in the computer. I know that one is not supposed to retouch in photojournalism but this is not photojournalism, it’s….. art (ngek!).

        I know this will not meet up to your standards, but i did my best. ( i just tried to isolate the model by retouching the light but i didn’t want

BEFORE RETOUCH
BEFORE RETOUCH

to do anything else to her i might fare worse. Actually, i think it’s the angle that’s the problem.

Embarrassed to death,

Marichu

One thought on “Dear Au (& then i made the carpet, este, yoga mat float) (that’s why i try not to go down the road of photoshop, when i start i cannot stop)”

  1. Dear Marichu,

    lokah! you made me laugh so hard… galing mo talaga sumulat. at naextra pa tuloy ako sa blog mo. thanks so much for the kind words. i’m really still learning the strings of photography (though it has become a passion lately). if the photos look good, it’s probably because i have a slight edge over you: i used a DLSR to get them 😀 besides, since i cannot write as well as you do, bawi na lang sa photos to tell my stories…:-D

    see you at the next yoga class, ha. had the onset of a cold last Thursday so i wasn’t able to make it. yoko din naman magkalat ng virus… i hope to be there by Monday, though. see yah!
