Last July 16, I conducted a seminar about wedding photo journalism at Samal Island in Davao.  We held it at BlueJaz Resort where I believe it just started its operations few months ago.

I was thrilled upon learning that there were 55 attendees in that seminar including some hobbyist and other photographers from other nearby provinces.

It was just a 2-hour talk plus an hour for questions and answers. After lunch, we had an on-the-spot shoot with models.

The mood was very light and I’m really hoping the photographers did enjoy my talk.

The models arrived around 1:30PM. They got stuck somewhere but it was all worth the wait. :)

All the participants were much ready as if there will be a war. :)

The weather was really hot but I have to note that we had exceptionally beautiful clouds then.

The hobbyists were equally ready and excited to shoot.

…and the shoot goes on. :)

I tried some glamour/fashion shoot. Well, the models were already good even with minimal directions.

There were even more excited to do some “wet the dress” shoot.

I really need to try this wet the dress thingy with my brides. :)

Some more.

Good thing about wet the dress is that they can continue to do some swimming after. I love the beautiful people of Davao. :)

All were shot with Ricoh GR II.
