MangoRed Creative Photography

August 18, 2012 | Saturday | 3 PM

Ayala Museum Ground Floor Lobby

A novel and somewhat peculiar company name perhaps to most, MangoRed offers to spice up the way prenuptials and wedding photography are commonly executed. Their client base includes the country’s glitterati, rock stars, creatives and non-celebrity asthetes, all wanting flavorful and offbeat wedding albums to boast to their family, friends, and even the generations succeeding them.

MangoRed’s signature style caters to couples who are not afraid of the unexpected. The end product is nostalgic but timeless, rebellious but sentimental, and cinematicc but authentic. More importantly, their brand of photography allows people and their personalities to shine through, instead of just the event being celebrated.

Since its inception in 2010, the DesignTalks lecture series boasts a premier roster of speakers who have demonstrated their excellence in various creative fields — from fashion, interior and furniture design, jewelry, videography, advertising and graphic apparel.

Ayala Museum initiated these lecture series to educated and inspire Filipinos who aspire to be part of the creative industry. The series also helps promote and situate the local design panorama.

MangoRed Creative Photography Lecture Fees:

  • PhP 300 for Professionals & Adults
  • PhP 150 for Students, Teachers, Ayala Museum & Fully Booked Members

Lighting (Studio and Strobist) Seminar w/ Basic Photography BATCH # 36

by Ken Go

July 18 Saturday (1:00pm to 6:00pm), July 19 Sunday (scheduled shoot), July 20 Monday (6:00 pm to 9:00 pm) Portable wireless lighting and Critique session

The seminar covers everything from basic to advance, the only lighting class you will ever need to take.

Feedbacks from past participants:

“Hi Ken, thank you for sharing with us your knowledge and expertise in the field of lighting. I truly learned so much from you and enjoyed the seminar a lot. Overall, i would rate the 3 day seminar 5 stars :-) . Keeping the atmosphere light and fun helped us absorb the topics easier. Valuable knowledge was learned without information overload. The actual shoot was the highlight of it all. Being able to apply the topics hands on was the best training anyone could have. I would highly recommend your classes to my friends who are getting into photography like myself.”

“Once again, many thanks for the workshop. Honestly, I really did enjoy it. You explained the concepts clearly and you were also willing to answer all of our questions. Furthermore, I also liked the fact that you also talked about your experience as a professional photographer and the great sense of humor you have.”

“Thanks very much for the lighting class.  Great class!  In comparison to another lighting class that I took previously you are much more thorough.  I have a much better understanding to setting up the lights, using the light meter, and ratios. I can honestly say I have much more confidence now than I did before.”

Maximum of 10 Participants

Topics:

  2. Types of commonly used studio lights
  3. Light modifiers
  4. Trigerring lights
  5. Measuring light
  6. Light positions
  7. Types of portrait lighting
  8. Dealing with models
  9. Portable wireless lighting (Strobist)

1st day of seminar will start of with a refresher on Basic Photography, discussing exposure and composition, before discussion on studio lighting. There will be no shooting to be done. Though there will be a hands-on practice in measuring lights using a flash meter. You will not be required to bring anything during the 1st day.

2nd day, scheduled shoots for the group (9am, 1pm and 4pm), models and make-up artist will be provided. Participants should only come on their time slot, to avoid over crowding. During the shoot, each participant will be asked to conceptualize a lighting set-up to be done with their model, other participants on the same group will be assisting. After the participant finishes the shoot, other participant on the group will do the same, so the previous participant will now be acting as the assistant. (round robin system) this guarantees a hands-on set-up, thus learning from actually doing it rather than just listening. This will also make sure that the participant will the only one shooting at the time of his/her set-up, so he/she gets all the needed angles to complete the shoot, no more wrestling for a spot just to get the photo.

3rd day, Portable wireless lighting discussion, includes gear needed and how to apply basic lighting techniques to this type of set-up. For the Critique session we will allow fellow students and me to critique ones work, as they say getting better needs one to realize its faults as to make sure to correct it the next possible time.

Kindly bring 1 to 2 of your favorite photo from the photo session printed on 5R, ink jet prints on photo paper are acceptable. All photos will be posted together on the wall for viewing. I usually also discuss some questions regarding post processing during these critique sessions.

Learn Photography from NYIP

The New York Institute of Photography (NYIP) is the world’s oldest and largest photography school. Established in 1910, NYIP has grown to become the premier provider of distance photography training, educating more than 20,000 students in the US and more than 50 countries abroad at any given time.

NYIP’s courses in Professional Photography, Digital Photography: Photoshop for Photographers and NYI Short Course: Fundamentals of Digital Photography combine the convenience of at-home study with state-of-the-art photography training from professional photographers.

NYIP is also know for running the prestigious annual NYIP International Photo Contests which gives out some pretty wonderful prices and of course bragging rights if you win.

You can request for a free catalog to get more info on what their courses offers. I do have to admit that after reading their course catalog… their cours costs are on the high side compared to what our local photography seminars charge.  But NYIP might just work for you if you don’t mind shelling out a little bit more and seem to have a difficult time attending photography seminars/workshops based on their specified schedule.

One thing good with NYIP’s courses is that they are self-paced and you can always go back to the topics which you might want to review since almost all the multimedia-based lessons are stored in CDs which will be shipped to you.

But if you don’t like to pay a hefty sum just to start learning about photography… NYIP can still help you out. They have a PhotoWorld ezine which contains a plethora of photography tips, articles and guides from black and white photography to camera cleaning and even underwater photography. Best of all you access the ezine for free!

Do check out NYIP at http://www.nyip.com.

This seminar is intended for both rookies an intermediate and even pros as well who would want to learn more on lighting for outdoor shoots strobist style.

Bernie Ledesma’s dayjob is being the Channel Development and Customer Support Manager for the DPC Yellow Pages. But for Bernie, photography has been his passion since the 80′s where he still used black and white films. He built his own darkroom back then and was elated everytime the image would appear as he was developing the print.

Bernie’s works have been featured in both local and international Magazines. You can see some of his published/featured works and more at his online gallery.

Nowadays he always try and find time to share his knowledge to those who want to learn. Bernie relates

Using Flash as a means of creating beautiful image is what we call “strobing”.  David Hobby, the founder/owner of Strobist.com, practically the pioneer of this movement coined the term “Strobist” as he would protectively but rightfully claim. So now strobist have found the flexibility to be able to creatively illuminate their subjects, while using the world as our backdrop. And this is what I will be sharing in the seminar.
