Living By Water is Ferdinand Decena’s First One-man show exhibit.
The Exhibit will be held on May 12-27, 2008 at Filipinas Heritage Library in Ayala Triangle, Makati City.
ABOUT THE EXHIBIT
From time immemorial, civilizations have thrived and lived near bodies of water. The reason is crystal-clear: water is vital to man’s existence. It is the reason why this exhibition pays homage to water and its significance to how and why people live by the water. Featuring photos that tell stories about the coastal Filipinos’ living conditions, reveal their culture, and relate their stories of survival.
The exhibit will carry a raft of striking images from across our archipelago. The Badjao Stilt Villages of Basilan. The Muslim Stilt Village of Rio Hondo in Zamboanga. The fishermen of Siquijor. The T’bolis of Lake Sebu. The rugged shores of Itbayat in Batanes. And the tranquil coasts of Iloilo.
ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHER
Ferdinand is a travel photographer and award-winning blogger. A graduate of Fine Arts, Major in Advertising at the Far Eastern University, he got started on film photography during his college years. He worked as a graphic artist and web designer for three years, pursuing photography as a hobby.

EarthScapes
a one mane photo exhibit
by Leonard Pe
In Celebration of Earth Day 2008
April 21 to 25, 2008
City Hall Lobby, General Santos City, Philippines
The power and influence of the photographer in contemporary culture lies in the power and influence of his medium. Photography is the only visual medium where the expression that an artist wants to convey is captured and transformed into a work of art in a click of the shutter.
Fleeting moment such as the exact time when nature affords us a view of its splendor can only be captured in the combined synchronization of the mastery of the photographic techniques, the camera’s capabilities and the photographer’s aesthetics.
Landscapes are challenging subjects. The same composition looks different in every season, time of the day, and even human and natural intervention. What is captures in photograph in an instant will be different in the next instance.
The rate of destruction of our natural topography gives another dimension to the work of the photographers which is documenting the beauty of nature and disseminating it to awaken our passion to preserve our wealth of natural wonders.
The Earth Day Celebration affords everybody to do something about the current state of our environment. Leonard Pe, traveled the archipelago extensively to capture the moments in nature when it is in its most glorious. From Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte, to Siquijor Island in the Visayas, down to Davao Province and around SocCKSarGen, he communed with nature, courted her, captured her beauty so that we too shall fall in love.
Leonard Pe graduated from the Ateneo de Davao University with the degree of Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. He began as a self-taught photographer who learned through reading, experimentation and experience.
He is a freelance photographer and is acclaimed as one of the finest fashion and lifestyle photographers in General Santos City. His works appeared in several national publications. He is also a member of the GenSan Camera Club (GCC).
He is a multi-awarded photographer. His winning of “Project: Clean Water”, an international photography competition sponsored by Greenpeace Southeast Asia, inspired him to mount this exhibit in commemoration of the Earth Day Celebration.
WILL WORK 4 FOOD
by
Steve Tirona
Curated by Adeline Ooi
6pm on April 24, 2008 - May 24, 2008
Will Work 4 Food began in 2005 with a simple aim to take “snapshots” of the nascent but exciting days of Manila’s alternative contemporary art scene. Three years on, the careers of a number of the individuals pictured here have matured. Many are now making names for themselves as some of the Philippines’ most promising and exciting young contemporary artists. This ‘family tree’ reads like the tangled streets we traverse on daily. Whether working together as members of a collective, setting up exhibition venues of their own, or quietly working on their obsessions, their energy is inspiring, their enthusiasm and determination to continually provoke and play, to experiment and reinvent.
Born in Manila in 1976, Steve Tirona was raised in Southern California and calls Los Angeles his hometown. After graduating with a Bachelors Degree in Photography from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena in 1996, Tirona went on to taking pictures professionally in the U.S. and Southeast Asia. His past work includes Rage Against the Machine’s Battle of Los Angeles album as well as the photographs for the movie Adaptation . His unorthodox vision and style of photography have garnered the respect and admiration of his peers and the creative industry as a whole. Steve is now based in Manila.
This project has been supported by The Nippon Foundation Asian Public Intellectuals Fellowship grant.
Accompanying Will Work 4 Food are Saturday Gallery Activities , all from 3-5pm:
April 26-Gallery Talk by Curator Adeline Ooi
May 3-Artist Talk by Steve Tirona

Maximum of 10 Participants
Topics:
1. Types of commonly used studio lights
2. Light modifiers
3. Trigerring lights
4. Measuring light
5. Light positions
6. Types of portrait lighting
7. Dealing with models
8. Portable wireless lighting (Strobist)
1st day of seminar will be on discussion of the topics, 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 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.
Seminar Price is P. 3,000.00 - inclusive of handouts.
