K h A R u : the Chameleon (KL Workshop 2) Photo Gallery by Manuel Libres Librodo Jr. at pbase.com

K h A R u : the Chameleon (KL Workshop 2)

It was a shoot of a thousand and one faces.
Once again, the chameleon took a flight.
And what an exhilarating ride it was.
Kharu is the ultimate chameleon.

This gallery will feature some of the pictures I took
during my workshop in Kuala Lumpur last May 5 and 6.
Thank you so much to all the participants.
Thank you Dr. Ban Hup Teh for organizing the workshop.
Thank you Dato Alex Chai for opening up your mansion to us.
And to Kharu... this is just a new beginning.

This gallery will be updated regularly. Please come back for more.
Your comments will be highly appreciated.

Another beautiful project Manuel! v

Scotty Graham		18-May-2007 01:26
As others on this page have commented, your ability to stand out with your own style always amazes me. There may be many "Librodo" clones out there, but there is only one Manny, and no-one does it like you. Thanks again for sharing your outstanding work.

Steve Viscot		17-May-2007 16:57
this entire series is an inspiration in portraiture. Simply brilliant work - my sinsere vote !!!

Reflections by Ruth		17-May-2007 11:27
Acceptional work as always Manuel, every pose has its own mood, love the colors and back lighting :)

shatterbug		17-May-2007 06:38
Outstanding...total viewing delight! First rate compositions and processing, and Kharu is truly a wonderful model...

Guest		17-May-2007 00:23
again again and again for extraordinary work......you are great

Aloha Diao Lavina		16-May-2007 23:22
I had to come back, this gallery just keeps calling. I agree with James Pan, you are king of portraits. You always know which angle, and of course the lighting is just perfect. Your mastery is in the fact that each photograph is a design in itself, with all elements outstanding. I am very blessed to have a place in your atelier. Salamat.

Willa Dios		16-May-2007 18:35
Magnificent, incredibly beautiful gallery, Manuel. My, my, my! Thank you for showing these images here. ;)

Peg O'Brien		16-May-2007 18:15
A big vote for this stunning gallery, Manny. You have a unique talent. Congratulations!

Vikas Malhotra		16-May-2007 17:26
simply sensational.

Guest		16-May-2007 15:13
Every image is purely an art form. You still reign "King of portraitures." There are many similar photos of the same subject floating around, but, yours truly retain a distinct signature. Unique, indeed. Masterful, certain. Artistic, definitely. Kharu is the Chameleon. Only you can capture her colors...

Jose Libres Librodo		16-May-2007 11:08
How I wish I could compete "glamour" photography with you... but... brothers shouldn't... hahaha. V!

Jean-Paul PLUME		16-May-2007 10:11
Splendid gallery.

Steve Highfield		16-May-2007 08:18
Exceptional first class workmanship again Manny. Superb. +V

Guest		15-May-2007 20:41
The dragon series is excellent, your endless imagination in themes is inspiring. Big Vote. PP in all is very well balanced.

Jean-Luc Rollier		15-May-2007 17:22
C'est un éblouissement permanent! I can't write it in english... Sorry JL V

Guest		15-May-2007 16:16
very good !! professional work v

Raymond		15-May-2007 12:23
Couldn't agree more more with Mr. Bobby Wong... 15 photographers, all at the same place, same time, same model, same comparable cameras, same lighting... where the others are very similar... Like Mr. Wong, I can pick yours out in a mixed gallery... That's why YOU give the workshop. Dragon is my fav so far...

Guest		15-May-2007 11:42
True artistry. Beautiful.

Bobby Wong Jr.		15-May-2007 11:40
Same model, same type of camera, same opportunity to shoot the same subject, but your photos are different, I can pick them from a line-up. It's definitely about catching just the moment, the right one among many. Nice work manny.

Federico D'Inc�		15-May-2007 10:36
Fantastic .......an inspiration bigV !!

Zane Paxton		15-May-2007 09:47

you are great Manuel... splendid gallery +V

Marise Hizo		14-May-2007 11:19
You've done it again, Mr. Manny! Your pictures are more than just set of colors and dimensions.. they portray thousands of emotions that even the mere eye cannot decipher.. You've got the HEART, Mr. Manny.. And that, is what sets you apart from the others.

Aloha Diao Lavina		11-May-2007 05:52
Yes, at last. I will be back for more. Today I came to see in detail especially the porcelain 3, a wonderful and delicately lit poem with her amazing eyes, and the lovely princess 1, which looks like she's leaning against solid light. Wonderful toning, Manny, and as always with the special Librodo light. V

Guest		11-May-2007 02:33
Wonderful gallery, manny!!! Looking forward to see more of your amazing work... You're a great artist!
