SPPP's Photo Mentor Series 9






SPPP's Photo Mentor Series 9
By Ingrid Samson

The Society of Portrait Photographers of the Philippines (SPPP) has held several successful installments of their Photo Mentor Series, in various locations. Held last July 16, 2010 at the Philippine Columbian Association in Paco, Manila, the much awaited Sensual Pictorial and Nude Body Painting photo shoot was the ninth in the series. The venue was packed with club officers, regular and probationary members alike, as well as other guest shutterbugs.

Aside from having skilled photographers, the club also boasts of various other talents. Dentist and make-up artist Marrissa Buenaventura enhanced the models' beautiful faces, while Art professor Ana Knicolai created exquisite designs on their alluring figures. By the time the participants were finished with their scrumptious dinner and the event formally started, Marissa and Ana have transformed into photographers, ready to take pictures of their masterpieces.

After a few introductory words by club president Orly Mercado, adviser Boy Samson gave a brief talk and imparted some tips about Bodyscape and Nude Photography. The participants were then divided into 3 groups, to facilitate a more orderly photoshoot. The room was filled with anticipation, and professional models Cay Mercurio, Sherylyn Gasoc, and Katrine Centeno did not disappoint. The photo shoot was made even more exciting with pythons, courtesy of Mark Chua, sharing the limelight.

The fun didn’t end there, as lots of exciting raffle prizes were given away -- 5 albums, 5 photographic umbrellas, 2 photographic backgrounds, an energy stone, and 5 i-mag photography magazines. SPPP thanks their sponsors Albums & Co., Abacus Microcomputers, Inc., Raymund Marcelo, Boy Samson, and of course, i-mag photography. It was indeed an eventful night that even gained the club some new probationary members. All photography enthusiasts are invited to watch out for the next installment in SPPP's thrilling Photo Mentor Series.
