John Chua's Car Photography 101
I was one of the lucky thirty (30) photographers to be part of a (free) car photography 101 workshop of Mr. John Chua. It is a collaboration of Canon and Honda. We were to submit any Honda car photo in Club EOS, and from there, the thirty photographers will be chosen.
Meeting place is at Gloria Jeans in Mall of Asia (MOA) for the registration, breakfast and a short briefing. Afterwhich, we walked to the parking lot in front of SMX, where two (2) CRVs were already parked. This is where the first activity of the day would take place.
We, then, proceeded to Mr. John Chua's studio, Adphoto, for brunch, lecture and for us to choose one picture for the shoot that morning. He chose five images from the entries. My photo came third as the second place was chosen by placing himself (John Chua) in the shoes of the client, Honda. My photo was his preference for it is an example of a photographer expressing his/her creativity.
We were shown how a studio is set-up when taking photos of cars. The idea is "bounce".
The last shoot that day would be at Cavite, 500 meters from the toll gate. But before proceeding there, we had our merienda.
Since we don't have a permit, we spent just a few minutes there. Then pack-up was called. Uh-oh! Dinner this time? LOL
We again are to choose one of our images taken at SMX or at Cavite. From there, the finalists will be chosen. While choosing, have to choose the photo thinking of the client. I guess, there goes creativity. Hehehe!
My photo was included in the semi-finalist.
