Effigy - A Definite Success!

Just this weekend, Mr. Omar Gallinero (aka Mr. OSG in this blog :), had an advance birthday celebration by giving back to his fellow photography hobbyists a little of what he learned in this art. The portraiture workshop dubbed as "Effigy" was a resounding success with the number of interested hobbyists all vying for the coveted slots. But it was only to the first fifteen participants who settled the measly workshop fee at Montage who were given priority. I just realized how popular Mr. OSG have become since we had to turn down a number of interested participants even during d-day! :D

Effigy was held at Lagare (yes as in "saw) resort in General Santos city. The participants had a wonderful time spending the morning shooting the versatile model Ms. Ghen Mutia, currently the Ms. Gensan pageant titlist.  HMUA (hair and make-up artist) and stylist was..ahhmm..yours truly :)

Mr. OSG started the workshop with a brief lecture before the participants had the chance to shoot Ms. Mutia around the resort. The afternoon was spent with a comprehensive lecture and discussions on Mr. OSG's basic portraiture workflow.

Lunch and free flowing coffee was served during the entire workshop. And from my point of view, considering the participant's output photos, they learned a lot from Mr. OSG. I was even a little scared looking at the future competition we may have in these participants :) Great job guys!

To our resident photographer, a happy happy birthday and continue shooting great portraits!
