It's the month with the least number of days but it's special for me.
I had great shoots the whole month.
I spent my birthday with the people I love.
Oh, yeah, I celebrated it a week-long!
Did product shots for Status Magazine's Swag.
Filmed Outerhope for Run&PlayPh.
Spent crazy nights with friends.
Ah, lovely.

Mikkie.
Playing with leaves & failing to make 'em fly a bit.
The perfect light.

Breakfast: PBJ on wheat toast & yogurt with mangoes & bananas.
I'm trying to be a morning person again. 
There's no particular reason, really, but maybe to be able to take pretty photos of what I'll have for breakfast.
LOL.

This light, it only lasts a few minutes. 
You get it by chance, by luck. 
Like many other things that are somewhat perfect, they only last a few minutes.


I took Monique's portraits during my birthday week where my goal was to have at least one shoot per day.
7 days, 7 shoots. I got more than what I bargained for.
It was the best birthday week ever. 
I had interesting people to shoot, some in the day, some in the night.
Lovely weather all throughout. It was as if I planned it and the gods agreed!
Lol,jk.

I have lots to blog about in the next few days!

Third time around and it's better than ever.

Perea street was lovely in the afternoon. It was the perfect light the whole time.
Loved how the photos turned out, you get the feel of how Perea looked that day.

I worked with some awesome people for this session.
Commune Manila, thank you very much for accommodating Daylight & for taking risks.
Mean Streets Manila, thank you for the support since day one.
Carlos Castaño, your music is wonderful. Your on the street "set" was awesome. 
Wagyu, you guys are amazing musicians. I don't have to explain that. Thank you very much for helping out & for bringing your amps & the drum set.

I never imagined this for Daylight this early on.
Thank you for supporting & believing in this.

DAYLIGHT WILL BE BACK IN MARCH! See you guys then!

(P.S. I used film to shoot majority of the time during this session and I had a minor setback. One of the rolls that I used was ruined and I feel awfully guilty with this happening. So, if you can't find your portrait here, email me (cantero.gabby@gmail.com) & tell me when you're free so we can set an afternoon session. I'd gladly take your portraits again & if this time you want to bring your friends over, too, why not!)
