For me, this shoot was one of the adventurous so far – a mixture of pressure and skills. We started to catch the dramatic sunset and sky combined at Baywalk near MOA. The eyes of Manong Guard would always haunt us and made his presence near us obvious and noticeable as if telling us that we couldn’t just shoot with our gusto. Each time he sees a tripod or a light stand, he’s attracted to us like a magnet and reminded us that we could not just use such gadget. Rain then started to pour as the sun bade goodbye and darkness began to fall.

That same experience was accorded to us when we drove to Makati for a night shoot concept. I knew full well that all the shots would be wonderful if I could use a tripod or monopod, however, the place was replete with guards in white uniform. We were thankful though that somewhere in Glorietta, none of the guards violently approached us but just observed us. Somehow they understood what we were doing was not a commercial shoot, maybe because we appeared as if we were just tourists taking several souvenir photos with matching poses and external flash handheld by an assistant. Overall, we managed to capture photos we planned to shoot. Here are they! Enjoy!
