IPR-Photo Philippines is the brainchild of photographer-participants in the ‘Seminar on Collective Administration of Visual Arts in the Philippines’ which was organized by Intellectual Property Office-Philippines (IPO) and International Confederation of Societies of Authors and Composers (CSAC) last July 12, 2007.

The group aims to help and promote Intellectual Property Rights for Photographers through discussions/ fora, sponsored talks, establishing networks and linkages with other like-minded organizations, and advocacy programs specifically aimed towards promoting viable photography industry in the Philippines.

Likewise, IPR-Photo Philippines aims to form a Collecting Society for Filipino Photographers to represent and act as a direct right broker on their behalf. The Collecting Society will provide efficient and effective way for photographers and rights owners to administer their copyrights on a national and international capacity. Collecting Society can license specific works, for specific uses and pays the copyright owner a royalty for the reproduction.

The benefit of Visual Arts/ Photography Collecting Society in the rights market is one convenience for the creator, but also provides:

  • Collective muscle in the negotiation of licenses and royalties, and their appropriate distribution;
  • Infringement services to members when their works are improperly used or attributed; and
  • Necessary advocacy for Photographers when Intellectual Property and copyright legislation requires reform.

The group is working hand in hand with IPO Philippines towards the realization of this goal.

Thanks to Dennis Rito for the invitation.

Magalingdinkami – Disciples of Jo Avila Yahoogroup Launched!

Thursday, July 26th, 2007

 

Jo Avila’s former students and VAs got together during Jo Avila’s Annual VA & Student party held last Saturday, July 21, 2007 at his studio and everyone had a great time!

 

The group had discussions in putting up an online venue where all of Jo Avila’s former students and VA’s can meet each other and share some ideas. With Jo Avila’s approval, Raymond Veran created a Yahoo! Group aptly name Magalingdinkami with a tagline Disciples of Jo Avila; Jo uses pinakamagalingako as his nick/username in forums and emails thus the name Magalingdinkami.

 

This groups exists as a venue for us friends, students and va’s alike, to share in our common passion for Photography. Here, we freely exchange ideas, techniques, experiences, “kwento”, good times, and of course, good photos.

Feel free to shout out to anyone in the group and to express anything on your mind (Photography related of course). We welcome everything from equipment reviews to info and tidbits on the goings-on of the photography world.

Let’s all get together and talk about photography and why we all shouldn’t take photos of a cow eating grass :D

Cheers!

Jo Avila

Please come join us if you are a former photography student or VA of  Jo Avila.
