kharunisia Photo Gallery by Joseph Uy at pbase.com

Kharunisia Jazmin...what a sight! Kharu, for short, is a Filipina model, actress and currently the reigning Miss Avon Philippines.
Kharu was simply a joy to work with. She is very creative and her eyes can really show all the emotions. We never got tired of shooting even way passed our lunch time.

These are the pictures I took in a workshop with Master photographer Manny Librodo.
Manny is a Filipino based in Thailand teaching Psychology but simply had a passion for photography.
His work was so outstanding that it got published in Digital Photography in 2005.
During the workshop, Manny shared many techniques on how to take portraits including looking for the good light, background, waiting for the right emotion, etc.

Manny will be in Manila up the end of the July. So if you are interested to join this workshop, please contact Ross Capilli of One Workshop Gallery.

Hi Joseph, I was just wondering if you could shed some light on Manny's style. It seems like most of his students achieve Manny's signature dramatic look quite quickly. Does his style rely heavily on post-processing? Or something else? You can get back to me at daniel (at) danieldy.com Thanks in advance for any information you can give.

Hi! Great job. You brought the best out of Kharu. Thanks for the nice work. I barely recognize my lil sis. Vincent

Hello Grace, I used the Canon EOS 100mm f/2.8 macro USM lens during the entire shoot of Kharunisia. It is a very sharp lens and offers very nice bokette for background blur. Thanks for dropping by my gallery.

Great Portraits !!! I like the way the light falls on her face... very subdued, soft and moody. You got the lighting on the dot. Judging from all your shots, Kharu is a very versatile and talented model - every variation in the shots create a different persona ... The pictures linger long after you view them. Great work !!! --- Abe Lee

Excellent images Joseph...and to think that they are unretouched yet? You can capture THE emotion. That's the most important thing. The technical skill is a given.

Galing!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!

All am wondering is why you didn't invite me to go. Hahaha! Who is this Kharu?

Beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder! As the artist, you've posted your best shots so each one has got to be good. Many others have cast their votes before me, influencing and narrowing my choices further. But I personally liked the last photo best. Sometimes you just know it when a specific image "just stops you cold in your tracks..." Good work.

Really great portraits. Excellent professional photographer and model.

Guest		10-Jul-2006 02:59
5822 and 5971 did it for me. 5971 makes you want to know what she's thinking. 5822, the mystery. It was nice meeting you Joseph. Hope to bump into you guys one of these days : )

Stephanie		10-Jul-2006 01:16
I liked 5913 and 5810 the best.
