On our way to a beach in Zambales, I decided to document some of the penitent pilgrims we encountered Good Friday 2011.

Note: I'm so surprised at how much I missed photography for the sake of photography. While I haven't been updating the Skyefire page recently, we have been fortunate to keep ourselves busy with so much commissioned work in the past few months.

Some of my choice pics from the Quest Crew concert in Eastwood City where my little girl, Skye, was privileged enough to meet her dance idols.

All the thanks and love to our new friends Guia, Celine, Oscar, Zarah, and Gelo without whom we wouldn't have been able to watch. Front-row VIP seats from people we just met in line. Woot-woot!

Low-res photos uploaded. Guys, text me if you want a cd of the high-res photos.

Helped some cosplay friends out with their "Paradise Kiss" Concept Shoot. We had to employ guerrilla tactics since we didn't have a permit and the pink and blue wigs definitely attracted the attention of the guards. It was a cloudy day and I definitely needed my lights but could not use them.

Chose not to process the photos to capture the rawness of the guerilla take.

The Dawn

Absolutely No Post-Processing due to laziness. Hehe.

Here's the official Skyefire Coverage of the Tanduay Rockfest 2010. I had to pop in and out of the concert grounds to feed and water myself. Was tempted to start swigging all the free-flowing alcohol but then remembered that I need to be a sober photographer. Amazing line-up. Brought back so many memories.

I love the challenge of shooting concerts.

Thanks to Arthur "Omegatron" Gimena for the Media Pass.

Another Baby Photoshoot. Here are some photos from the Homeservice Portraiture session we did for Abby and Gelo. I especially like the "Ate and Little One" poses to which the only direction I had to give them was "O, closer to each other".

You can contact us via Facebook or our email addresses to schedule your own Homeservice Portraiture session.

Thanks guys!

Where in the World is Botero’s Leg « jonching.com

Covered Jon Ching's awesome "Where in the World is Boter's Leg" exhibit way back July. We had to take photos of his wicked artwork under a not quite incandescent not-quite tungsten light sa WB was a challenge.

Please visit his site to view our photos. Art aficionados, I encourage you to buy his art NOW while he's affordable. Hehe. Ive been a fan since 2000 and am still looking for whoever bought his "Silver Dream Machine" painting.

The history of remembering reveals how memory is constructed, socially and conceptually. While one may readily associate the term ‘memory’ with the post-Industrial Revolution and the Information Age, with digital technology’s capacity to store increasingly massive amounts of information, the ways in...

We were honored to host the pet photo booth for this year's Pet Expo and Pet's Life Magazine Grand Launch. Met a lot of new people (and pets) along the way.

Technical difficulties and all, it was still such a good experience for myself, Fluffy, and Amber.

Special thanks to Mr. Iggy Ignacio of Pet's Life for inviting us. Super special thanks to Ms. Ea Medel of "Events by Ea" for all the help.

You may know that we go on assignment for both Motorcycle Magazine and Power Wheels. It was a happy coincidence that on this particular trip, we shared the resort with riders from the Pasig City Motorcycle Riders Federation.

Hope we can work with them on a magazine shoot or article soon. Guys, tag yourselves na lang.

I actually found out a couple of days late. They apparently printed my Architecture Photos of Century Properties' Grand Soho Makati on the Saturday issues of The Inquirer, The Philippine Star, and The Manila Bulletin.

I've taken the liberty of including both the original shots and the scanned (albeit poorly, sorry) broadsheet pages in this album. Score another one for Team Skyefire's published successes.

Special thanks to Miss Terrie Fucanan-Yu for the scans.

Skyefire Studios went on assignment and braved the winding roads of Quezon all for the sake of taking some nice model photos with the Pacific Ocean and a little known waterfall in the background.

A good trip all around, the Skyefire Boys Amber, Fluffy, and myself were joined by our new talents Jen and Hazel. Here's a sample of our work.

If any of you guys need models for your collaterals or promo girls for your events, please contact us so we can hook you up.

Thanks Guys,
