Just something about me…
Since prior to my entry into the wedding industry, I have been considered to be one of the most reputable lighting specialists in the Philippines, conducting workshops nationwide and have been featured in various photography magazines. I was also a multi-awarded portrait and advertising photographer.

My expertise is in manipulating ambient and artificial light to create clean and classic photographs which naturally led me to the genre of portrait and wedding photography. Since then, I have shot numerous weddings locally and overseas exhibiting my signature style.

    You are shooting in manual mode but in some video you talked about using Aperture priority almost 90% of your shooting.Would you please explain when you go for manual ?

    Coco's grace, calmness, and classiness in every video always get me. She is such a great model to work with.

    Hi Jiggie, how do you maintain the 5.6 aperture while you change the flash power?!

    Thank you Jiggie. I have to take product shots for my wife's online business tomorrow. I needed a quick refresher. I have speed lights but I will be using AD400 Pro. Trying to keep things simple. Thanks again.
