Krystal ... the Journey Continues Photo Gallery by Manuel Libres Librodo Jr. at pbase.com

Krystal ... the Journey Continues

She's no longer the sixteen year old girl whom I took a picture of a few years ago.
She's no longer the beautiful lady who put a spark back to my photography when I experienced a dry-spell.
She's no longer the actress and model who spiced up my many workshops.

Krystal Vee has blossomed into a beautiful woman showing a range of emotions.
Love, misery, triumph, agony, romance, despair, hope, surrender: I have seen it all from Krystal.
AND THE JOURNEY CONTINUES!

This is a collection of pictures I took of Krystal Vee during some of my workshops in the past five months.
Thanks to Ms. Marise Hizo for doing most of the styling.
And to my muse, this gallery of you is for you.

A wondeful gallery of someone who knows what he is doing. really, the light is perfect and the model too ofcourse. But the thing is that you can catch some personality out of the person and show it to us. That is something special and a gift you've got have a nice evening, Rosita

Guest		04-Dec-2007 06:21
All superlatives I can think of cannot do merit to the quality of your work, Manuel, you outdo yourself with every new gallery posted. It is an absolute delight to look at your images, and learn from them as much as one can. Needless to say: V!!

Aloha Diao Lavina		03-Dec-2007 22:14
The patience has paid off, this is an amazing collection. I was there most of the time, but I cannot see the way you can, and the connection between you and (y)our muse is evident in the expressiveness of these images. My favorite so far are the purple series. It is difficult to take a bad picture of Krystal...but it is uniquely you who can take a breathtakingly amazingly beautiful picture of her. Thanks for the inspiration, my guru. V of course.

Kiriakos Korakis		03-Dec-2007 21:10

Derick Gamboa		03-Dec-2007 12:14
"The Images are more than an idea. It is a vortex or cluster of fused ideas and is endowed with energy." Powerful statements here my dear friend!!!! :-)

Derick Gamboa		03-Dec-2007 12:04
Manny, I love the "scoping technique" you have applied in your post processing!! draws the viewer to 2-3 sharp items only! They rest of the shadow play with your props, the rest of the model's features, add to the moving moment of the scene! "Nowadays people's visual imagination is so much more sophisticated, so much more developed, particularly in young people, that now you can make an image which just slightly suggests something, they can make of it what they will."

Guest		03-Dec-2007 11:02
Wow Manny, I HAVE to do one of your courses! You are so fresh with your images. They are all awe-inspiring. voted.

This batch of photos, the eyes still have it. Alluring. Captivating. But this time the mood is darker, deeper, and demands that one stops to ponder. What was in her mind? What was in his? Bravo.
