Super outdoor photography adventure !

The fourth SPPP Asian Mentor Series is a super outdoor photography adventure. It offers nature challenges, portrait and wedding shoot with models, lectures on wedding, portrait and fashion photography, corrective lighting, directing models, audiovisual trends, light painting and WOW . . . outdoor BODYSCAPE. Unlike the past SPPP mentor series that we had in Palawan, Bicol and Baguio, XTREME TANAY is the next level photo workshop participants would want to attend. See you all in Tanay, Rizal and experience the fun, photo lectures and photo shoot with the models.

mentor series

wow... i just realized i was just 15 when the first sppp mentor series took place. it really just felt like a bunch of people enjoying palawan, instead of a very stiff class... yet you go back to manila not realizing how much knowledge in photography (and mingling and drinking and for some maybe falling in love?) you've gained . the organizers as well as the participants just had their way of keeping the atmosphere of the event light and fun, yet very informative. i'm 26 now, and i'm pretty sure this mentor series will be just as fun, probably even better. for me, the sppp mentor series is more of a venue where photography lovers can spend time with the artist in them, a time when they could simply just indulge in their passion. so see you all there!!! can't wait!!! :)

The Mentors...

Let's start with the master... Mr Ibarra Deri... he'll be lecturing on portrait and fashion photography. Sir Deri is currently the President of SPPP. He had been unselfishly sharing his expertise in portraiture for the longest time. (He was my first teacher, remember?) He holds regular classes at the Philippine Center for Creative Imaging.

And the master's unica hija... Ms Dail Deri... she'll take charge of creative lighting techniques. Sobra galing this lady, promise!!! And very pretty too!!! I assure you... you will be amazed by this father-daughter tandem.

My very good friends Andy Samaniego and Robert Lester Aliscad will talk on wedding photography.

Ms Jasmine Tecson, a photographer and a model too, will give tips on how to pose a model.(believe me...sometimes guys end up stammering when faced with a very gorgeous model so this lecture is really important especially for the male species. hahaha!)

The next mentor, Mr.Jessie Lasaten, will be in charge of audio-visual trends. His company Cutting Edge Productions is one of the most in-demand production outfits for corporate accounts. Need I say that when you google his name, grabe the number of pages that will appear. (google him and you'll know more about my kumpare!!!)

I don't want to talk about the mentors for the Outdoor Bodyscape anymore... just three words... They are fabulous! (and probably, two more words... very beautiful!) Hey, I'm not talking about the models yet... just the mentors. Hahaha!

More on Xtreme Tanay...

The fee for the mentor series is P5T. That's a good deal in exchange for the fun and learning experiences, food and lodging, free shuttle service (if you don't want to bring your car) and outdoor model shoots which you can use for your portfolio.

What to bring?
- personal essentials
- comfy footwear for the jungle adventure
- swimwear (there's a big pool inside the camp)
- sunblock (all the shoots are outdoor)
- and your CAMERA (whew, almost forgot this!!!)

Xtreme Tanay... an outdoor photo adventure

That's the title of the SPPP Asian Mentor Series 4...

The workshop will be held on April20-22 in Tanay, Rizal. This will be an exciting event because aside from the learning experience, there will be jungle survival activities (which explains why there is the word "xtreme" in the title, got it?). So, better pack your survival outfits... and practice map reading!!! Don't worry, I haven't done this yet so this is a first for me. Hehehe!

What else to expect?

... there will be lectures on portrait, wedding and fashion photography,

creative lighting techniques, audio-visual trends and outdoor bodyscape...

and the fun part: the outdoor shoots with lots and lots of models;

... food and lodging will be provided as well as free shuttle from

the SPPP office in West Ave, Quezon City to the workshop venue;

... lots of freebies from our major sponsors;

... opportunities to bond and get to know a lot of people in the industry;

... did I mention the outdoor bodyscape?

... and a whole lot more!!!
