00:38Good day! Welcome to Sunstar Pitik POV, a new edition of Sunstar Pitik, where we interview photographers in the field
00:46or in the places where the photographers usually work and create their image or magic in photography.
00:55Today, we are honored to once again interview the owner and main photographer of the studio. You heard it right,
01:04the studio.
01:05Here in AS42, the one and only, fresh, the fresh winner of Sinulog Festival 2026 Grand Champion Sir Max Bongo.
01:21Last time, we featured his photography journey. This time, we'll be talking about his knowledge and expertise in studio photography.
01:32Let's go, Sir Max!
01:33Welcome again to Sunstar Pitik. Now, we have the POV or point of view edition of Sunstar Pitik.
01:47Hello, everyone. Good afternoon and welcome to my playground.
01:50Wow. Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. Madali ang pagtanggap ng...
01:58Aving invitasyon. Kinalulukod kong kinatanggap yung invitasyon ninyo.
02:02Well, ngayon, we're going to talk about your studio on when did you start taking photos on your studio or
02:14generally, when did you start putting up your studio?
02:19Thank you. All right. So, I'll take you back from 2007 where I started photography and then 2010 where I
02:27focused on, you know, festivals, join Sinulog, won, and then I stopped for a while.
02:33And then eventually, after noon, I ventured to parang a-apprentice dun sa friend ko, which is Ricky Monterona, the
02:42late Rick, Ricky Monterona.
02:46Sa yung nag-turo sa akin nun, you know, how to do the lights. Kasama nun si na, ano, Johnny,
02:51Jonathan Kalinawan. The Kalinawan brothers were also teaching us that time.
02:56And then, I, like I said, I stopped because of, you know, priorities, work, and the likes.
03:02And then eventually, September, ano, December of 2004, not 2004, but 2024.
03:08December 8, 2024, December 8, 2024, I opened this small space, I'm actually renting this one, and still alive until
03:19now.
03:20And then, I think, nag-wan-year na, ng studio, and I'm happy to take you around.
03:302024.
03:312024, December 8, 2024.
03:33What type of photography do you do here in the studio?
03:38Dito sa studio, mostly, we do fashion shoot, editorial, food, sometimes yung mga family portraits, we do yung graduation pics
03:48as well, and then yung mga family pictures, engagements, may mga prenups na studio, and sometimes people would reach out
03:59to do portraits for them, and sometimes may mga boudwa din.
04:03Boudwa.
04:05So, ang gagawin natin ngayon, pwede mo kaming tulungan, or turuan, kung ano yung mga pwedeng bilhin, o unang gamit
04:16na pwedeng ilagay sa studio.
04:18So, okay.
04:19Ayan, turun na.
04:20Turun mo pami.
04:21Alright, sure.
04:22Go on.
04:23Alright, so good afternoon.
04:24So, we'll be doing a shoot today.
04:26Basically, our setup would be two light or one light photo.
04:31So, I have here a parabolic diffuser with a grid.
04:36So, actually, this is necessary naman to, you know, diffuse the light and yung mga kailangan na not too harsh
04:47on the lighting.
04:48Kasi, when you do studio shoot, you have to always remember na you don't adjust the ISO.
04:53You mostly adjust on the lighting capacity sa, ano mo, sa bowends.
05:00Ano ito, bowends ba tawag dito?
05:01Sa mga lights, sa strobe lights na ginagamit mo.
05:04So, baka may makonfuse yung iba.
05:07So, this one is a wireless, tawag dito, AD600BM2.
05:13It's a wireless na strobe lights.
05:16As compared to this, this is a non-light Forza 60B.
05:20This is a continuous light.
05:22Okay.
05:23So, that's the difference.
05:24Eto naman, you can actually use this.
05:27Beginner-wise, this is very friendly.
05:29Kasi, you can basically see shadows and ano yung output na photo.
05:34Well, this one, you have to, para sa paggain, tinitimpla siya, yung lights.
05:41And this is a strobe light.
05:42Yes, this is a strobe light and this is the continuous.
05:46This is a continuous and this is strobe.
05:48Strobe.
05:49Oh, okay.
05:49So, yung continuous naman, may mga other, ano siya, may mga RGB.
05:54Eto lang is bicolor.
05:56This is fluorescent and yung white.
05:59So, white and yellow pa lang.
06:01This one, this is plain white.
06:03And then, we have here, this is a beauty dish with honeycomb.
06:10So, and the other one is an SK400 ng Godox.
06:15Hello, Godox.
06:17Anong-anong main gamit ng beauty dish?
06:21At saka, itong malaking, parang isang malaking umbrella na may honeycomb din.
06:27So, this one, this is parang bigger picture.
06:33Okay.
06:34This one naman is parang diffused siya.
06:38Mostly ginagamit sa fashion.
06:41Okay.
06:41Papaganda.
06:42Kasi parang focus nang yung tira.
06:45Eto naman is medyo white.
06:47So, yung tama ng light is more or less surrounded.
06:53Parang hindi siya surrounded.
06:54Parang focus siya, but on a bigger scale.
06:57Unlike this one.
06:58So, I like actually using this one than this one.
07:04Which would you prefer?
07:08For the continuous or the strobes?
07:12For beginners, I would suggest you use still continuous.
07:17Continuous.
07:17Kasi you can adjust naman the ISO.
07:19Okay.
07:20And play around with, you know, tamang timpla dun sa camera nyo.
07:24But if, sa advance naman, and if you really want to learn how to, you know, do the lights.
07:32And tinitimpla kasi yung lights natin eh.
07:34So, you can use the, ano, yung parang, yung masrobes lights.
07:39We have here also a Godox DP602 mounted on a elongated na softbox.
07:48Napadsin ko ito, elongated.
07:49And what's the use?
07:52That's, ano siya, yung pang body.
07:56Body.
07:56Oo.
07:57And focus lang on a parang...
07:59Stand set up sa taas.
08:01Pwede, pwede siya.
08:02Any.
08:02And you can also use this as a parang clamshell na light.
08:08Parang, parang, ano lang.
08:09Para at least kung mag, ano ka, may tama din sa taas.
08:14Also, we have here a set of seamless papers and Muslim cloth.
08:20This is a printed one.
08:22I ordered this from Shopee.
08:23Shopee, baka naman.
08:26And we have some others here na hindi pa na mount kasi we only have limited space.
08:31Tanong ko din, itong mga nasa taas, yung roll?
08:35Yes, those are seamless papers.
08:36I mean, yung nilalagyan niya, yung tawag yun.
08:40Parang, rock, rock niya.
08:42Made to order, man?
08:43No, it's actually available in Shopee.
08:45I love Shopee.
08:47So, I actually bought this in Shopee.
08:49It's together with this chain na parang may papigat.
08:53And then, you can just roll it.
08:56Kung may pera ka naman, you can use the electronic.
08:59Yung mga automated na you can just press the button up and down.
09:04It will do for you.
09:06Ito naman, I improvise kasi as creatives, you also think of better ways to, you know, beautify your studio.
09:13I know this is really small, but I'm happy.
09:16This is a corten, yung parang sliding na corten rod.
09:20Not rod, but yung parang pang ano, ginagamit sa mga...
09:24Pagamit, slide din siya.
09:25O, corten.
09:26So, ginagamit siya to sa mga shoots.
09:28And sometimes, pag nag, ano, tawag dito nag...
09:34Podcast.
09:35O, pwede, pwede.
09:36Ito yung parang ginagamit.
09:38So, here, we're preparing our model.
09:42Ayan.
09:43This is, by the way...
09:46Nagyan natin na light para maklara naman.
09:48So, this is our makeup artist, The One, Leo Sanchez.
09:52And Mr. Island Tourism 2025, Sir Jack.
09:56Hello, sir.
09:57So, we'll be doing a shoot later today.
10:00So, I'll say it's...
10:01Portrait.
10:02Portrait.
10:03Portrait, anything.
10:04Pwede naman sa studio.
10:05As long as kasha yung tao.
10:09Ano dito?
10:10So, Leo, by the way, is a renowned makeup artist dito sa Cebu.
10:15Yes.
10:16And he's got a lot of connections.
10:20Can I have some of the connections?
10:22Oh, the connections that we don't have?
10:26Say hi to the camera, guys.
10:29So, we're just prepping up for our shoot later.
10:31Our backlight.
10:47Okay.
10:48So, I think we're set.
10:52So, we have this one, our parabolic light, means diffuser.
11:00So, ilang lights ngayon?
11:01Oh, we're doing three lights.
11:02Three lights.
11:03So, this one is the fill light.
11:05Ah, no.
11:05This is the main light.
11:06This is the hair light.
11:08And yung backlight.
11:09Backlight.
11:10Okay.
11:10So, today, we're shooting Jack for a portrait.
11:17So, there's...
11:18Okay.
11:21Setup sa camera.
11:23Setup.
11:23Okay.
11:24Settings.
11:24We have 100.
11:25I'm actually using the Canon RP.
11:28Canon, baka naman.
11:29Baka pwede natin i-change to Canon R6 Mark III.
11:33Ah, 5.6, 125.
11:36And then, we have the...
11:39Ah, tawag dito yung remote.
11:41Remote.
11:41And then, it's connected to channels 1 and P.
11:46So, we do channeling here.
11:49Isang...
11:50Ano lang sa likod?
11:51Siligay.
11:52Ah, so, yung ilang sa likod is also...
11:56Strobe.
11:57Strobe.
11:57Okay.
11:57Ito yung parang maglalight dun sa likod.
11:59Okay.
12:00And...
12:01Jack, pwede kang mag...
12:03Ah, nalang.
12:06Ah, nalang.
12:07Ah, nalang.
12:08Kita yung light mo.
12:10I'll move this a little bit.
12:15And...
12:15And let's see how this...
12:18Goes.
12:20And...
12:20Give me some...
12:22Just...
12:23Cute smile.
12:23Maka cute smile.
12:26And there.
12:28Ah, okay.
12:29Nice.
12:29So, ito yung backlight.
12:30That's the light na nasa likod.
12:34And...
12:34This is the tama ng hair light, which is what we use for the beauty dish.
12:38Beauty dish.
12:39And then, ito naman yung sa parabolic.
12:43Okay.
12:45Yung na nang tama ng light, na?
12:46In fairness.
12:49Yun.
12:51All right.
12:52Another one.
12:55Sige.
12:57Sige.
12:58Uy.
12:59Taka lang.
13:00Hindi ko siya na-shoot.
13:01Always remember to do single shot lang.
13:05Kasi naka...
13:06High ako kanina.
13:08High speed.
13:08Okay.
13:09So...
13:09Single shoot lang.
13:10Para mag...
13:11Mag-cycle.
13:12Di ba yung shutter speed niya?
13:15Dapat lalampas ng 250 up?
13:17Yes.
13:18Normally, you can pay around between 60 to 200.
13:2160 to 200.
13:21O-o.
13:22Depending lang din dun on how low your ISO can get.
13:26Kasi may mga ibang cameras na they can go as negative 0.3.
13:32Yung sa...
13:33Ano kasi?
13:33Sa Canon, yung ginagamit ko, yung ISO 100 lang.
13:37So, may parang...
13:38Yung sa ibang models ng mga cameras, may bababa pa sa 100.
13:42Okay.
13:43All right.
13:44So, our settings now is 5.6 at 125.
13:48Okay.
13:49Shot ko muna.
13:50All right.
13:51So, that's the result.
13:53There.
13:55Anong tawag dito?
13:57So, this is our secondary monitor.
14:00It's connected to our laptop.
14:02And, by the way, we're using a tether cable na connected sa camera.
14:06And, we do capture one sa application.
14:11Para, once you shoot, you can actually see the light.
14:15I mean, the photos na na-take.
14:17Yung problema kasi natin pag wala tayong...
14:21One of the necessary pala na kailangan, if you have this, you have a studio is...
14:26Meron kang secondary monitor.
14:28And, you also have another one, na yung tether cable.
14:32Para, once you shoot, makikita naman na gan yung output.
14:35And, you can also adjust and play on the lights kung ano yung gusto mo.
14:38Tsaka, makikita din ang client.
14:41Yes.
14:41And, you know, they can check kung ano yung better positions sa pose nila.
14:46And, as a photographer, then, kita mo din kung saan nagkulang yung lights.
14:51Okay.
14:52Okay.
14:53So, wait.
14:55Tapakita ko na lang sa inyo kung ano yung difference.
14:59Papakita ko sa inyo yung difference pag i-off natin yung hairline.
15:02Sige.
15:04Setup.
15:05Okay, go.
15:06So, what we're doing now is a two-light setup.
15:08We have the main light and yung backlight natin.
15:12So, tinanggal natin yung taw dito, yung hair light, para makikita nyo yung difference.
15:19So, if you can see, dito, may definition yung book niya, may light.
15:23So, there's a separation between yung background and yung sa buhok.
15:28Now, if we do a shoot later, sometimes, pag hindi obra, mawawala yung buhok.
15:37Ah, okay.
15:38So, yun yung beauty dish sa taas.
15:41Yes.
15:42Okay.
15:42As compared to this shot, yung kanina.
15:46Yung ha.
15:46Eh.
15:48Ah.
15:50Nasaan ba yun?
15:52Ooh, yung mouse.
15:58As compared to this, kita yung highlights sa buhok.
16:04Sige.
16:05No, it's not that.
16:08Ah, okay.
16:10Kita yung highlight ng buhok.
16:11Okay.
16:12So, as compared to dun sa kanina.
16:15Pero pag gusto nyo naman ng dramatic, pwede naman talagang wala yung, ano, backlight, yung hairline.
16:20Pero nasesasari kasi na when you do studio shoot, you have to also emphasize the hair.
16:27Okay.
16:28Okay.
16:28Kasi, crowning glory kasi yung hair, di ba?
16:32So, at least makikisayan din yung effort ng mga HMUA natin na nagtitext.
16:38Hi, sir!
16:41Ayun.
16:41So, now, ah, we'll do one light setup.
16:46I-off natin yung backlight, and then you'll see the difference.
16:50Off na yung, ah, one light na lang.
16:53Yes, one light na lang.
16:54So, this one is one light.
16:57Alright.
16:58Give a smile for me.
17:00Yun.
17:02Eto naman yung result ng one light.
17:04Eh, nag-charge pa pala yung isa.
17:07So, another one.
17:08Okay, okay.
17:09Yeah, okay.
17:11Here.
17:14So, yun.
17:15So, yung background, wala na siyang medyo separation.
17:23Kasi parang nag-bend na.
17:25Medyo, hindi naman siya totally flat, but parang walang masyadong depth.
17:32Pero malinis pa din.
17:33Parang malinis pa din.
17:35It's because we're using, ano, a grid.
17:39And yung parang white na diffuser din.
17:42So, yung tatanggalin natin ito, washout.
17:45Harsh.
17:46Harsh.
17:46Ah, okay.
17:47So, mainly use ng honeycomb.
17:50Yeah.
17:50It's to diffuse the light.
17:52Okay.
17:52Aside from the white light na din alabas.
17:55Okay.
17:56Split lighting.
17:58Split lighting.
18:01Split lighting, sir na?
18:02Yes.
18:02Okay.
18:04Tangled at 90 degrees.
18:08Yan.
18:10Saan ka natutun ito?
18:12Online.
18:13Online.
18:14Saan ka pinag, ano, yung sa previous na company ni Riki.
18:20Ah, okay.
18:23All right.
18:25Sige, adyan ka.
18:28Let's just move this closer.
18:33And this is just one light.
18:35And then...
18:39So, yun.
18:40Ah.
18:40That's the speed lighting.
18:42So, half lang yung nakikita.
18:46So...
18:48Okay din ba?
18:49Okay siya sa, ano, no?
18:50Parang...
18:51Feel ko lang na okay siya sa black and white.
18:53Yeah.
18:53We can do that black and white.
18:55Pwede naman siya.
18:58Monochrome natin.
19:00Also, contact.
19:05And...
19:06Ah, nice.
19:11Lalo na yung, ano, no?
19:13Yung highlights and shadows.
19:15Tapos...
19:15Pag nalaro niya sa...
19:17Ayan.
19:20Ang magazine.
19:22Pwede.
19:24So, yun.
19:26So...
19:26Ano pa ba?
19:27Ano pa bang pwede?
19:29So...
19:29We've already discussed yung Rembrandt.
19:32Kanina, Rembrandt yun.
19:33Then two...
19:34Three lighting.
19:36Tapos eto naman.
19:38And...
19:38Eto.
19:39Gagamitin natin tong beauty dish.
19:41Mag-one light tayo with the beauty dish.
19:43May na yung mga narikinig akong butterfly.
19:46Ah, yun.
19:46Yan.
19:47Sige, butterfly.
19:48Okay.
19:49Yan lang.
19:50Set up natin yung butterfly.
19:59Butterfly is parang flat siya.
20:01Flat?
20:01Yeah.
20:02Ah, okay.
20:03Dito lang yan sa nose magaan.
20:10Dapat sa studio din pala.
20:12Dapat high ceiling din.
20:13Yes.
20:15Necessary yun.
20:16And by the way, you need the sandbag.
20:19Pag medyo mataas na.
20:21Kasi mabigat yung cameras.
20:24I mean, not cameras, but yung lighting and tsaka yung...
20:27Baka maulog.
20:28You have to have the support.
20:29So, this is what we call sandbag.
20:31Yung lilagay ko lang dito, stones.
20:33So, hindi stones yung pato.
20:35Hindi lang sand.
20:37Yan.
20:38So, magsusupport yan.
20:41Okay.
20:43Dito ka.
20:44Diyan ka sa gidna.
20:50Yan lang ha.
21:00Masyadong mataas yung light ko.
21:06So, yun na.
21:08Parang flat siya.
21:09Kasi ilaw din sa likod.
21:11Ilaw din dito.
21:18Pero, may ano pa din siya.
21:21May...
21:21This has to be...
21:23There's still a shadow.
21:25Yeah.
21:26Meron naman.
21:28Ito.
21:29What we need to do is this.
21:31Dapat naka 45 degree angle to.
21:35Hindi pa to siya naka 45.
21:37Kaya masyadong hindi nang-define yung sa nose.
21:40So, down ko lang konti.
21:4245 degrees?
21:43Yes.
21:44Okay.
21:44Tapos raised high siya.
21:47Yun.
21:48So, 45.
21:54So, 45 degree angle yung position ng strobe.
22:00The butterfly effect.
22:02Yes, it's a butterfly.
22:02Okay.
22:04Okay.
22:05And let's take a picture before mag-lobat yung camera ko.
22:08Always remember.
22:10To...
22:11Charge.
22:12Charge.
22:13Yun.
22:14Uy.
22:15Nag-create siya nang bago.
22:28So, parang nag-magaan na yung sa nose.
22:32May shadow yung nose.
22:33Kaya that's what they call...
22:35Butterfly.
22:36Ah, okay.
22:37We took a shot.
22:39Okay.
22:39It's kind of dark dun sa face niya.
22:42And we're doing a two-light setup.
22:44My backlight and the beauty dish.
22:48Okay.
22:48So, eto, para makita yung medyo slight na mukha niya, we'll be using the clamshell na reflector.
22:56Okay.
22:57So, this one, against white, pwede naman sa clam shell reflector.
23:02Reflector.
23:03Okay.
23:03So, what we can do, we can, para mag-bounce yung light and hindi siya ma-diffuse, we can...
23:08Silver.
23:09Okay.
23:10Eto, let's see.
23:11Eto naman yung 5-in-1.
23:14Ah.
23:15Ang gold is to warm.
23:18Warm.
23:18Eto naman it to reflect the light.
23:21Okay.
23:21So, we'll use the silver.
23:26Okay.
23:27So, here, when you do studio shoot, you also have to direct yung position ng mga models ninyo.
23:32So, what you can do, especially here, we're doing just one light with a beauty dish on.
23:38So, if we take a shot, smile for me, please.
23:42So, here.
23:45Ayan.
23:46So, eto yung beauty ng beauty dish.
23:49Okay.
23:50So, may pagka-reembrant siya.
23:52One light, one beauty dish.
23:54One light on beauty dish.
23:56So, magkita yung hair light.
23:58So, kung gusto nyong i-makita yung konti yung mata, what you can do is have the model chin up
24:07a little bit.
24:08Okay.
24:09And then, you can use, ah, asa na yung eto?
24:14Ah, a ladder.
24:15Eto naman.
24:17For positioning.
24:20So, see the difference later, ha?
24:22Black.
24:26Okay.
24:28Chin up a little bit.
24:29Okay, smile.
24:32Done.
24:33And there.
24:38Oh, kita na yung eye, white, white, the black, ha?
24:44So, there.
24:47Mayroon bang, ano, effect din yung, ah, like, gestures sa model, o kailangan bang yung, figuro sa mga magazines, di
24:57ba?
24:57May mga weird positions.
25:00Yeah.
25:00Na pwede mong, yes, or, ah, or, ipa-act.
25:05Pwede naman.
25:05So, Jack, pwede mong huwag ba rin yung jacket luna?
25:09Eto, kanina, yung setup natin is, ah, against yung sa, tawag dito, background.
25:17Eto naman, yung light, itatama natin niya sa kanya, okay, para ma-define yung body niya, and then we will
25:23do the same, ah, yung sa, tawag dito, beauty dish din.
25:28Okay, Jack, dito.
25:29Then, flex, flex your muscles na lang for me, ha?
25:34Ah, kahit mag-post ka ng ganito, Jack.
25:38Move konti, a little bit here.
25:41So, I'll go there.
25:43Then, chin up.
25:46Ah, yes.
25:48Pwede kang gumadun.
25:50Let's do it.
25:53And, right.
25:56So,
25:59Hmm.
26:00Hindi ko pala na on.
26:03Sorry naman.
26:05Ayun.
26:08And,
26:09Sige.
26:13Alright, and one, two.
26:17Ayun.
26:18So, that's the beauty of it.
26:20So, if you can see, may
26:23Ila, may edge.
26:24May edge siya, tapos, yung light na tumama sa likod, nag-bounce dun sa background.
26:31Pero, if gusto mong black lang talaga, you can actually move your model, alayun dun sa background.
26:38Okay.
26:38So, what we can do is, move forward yung konti, Jack.
26:42And, and then, and then, dito ka.
26:45And, I'll move this one.
26:49Sa position mo, and I'll rearrange lang yung light sa likod.
26:55Masama siya kanya.
26:58Okay.
27:01Smile for me, please.
27:04And,
27:05Yun na.
27:10So, medyo darker na yung background, may definition na yung ears niya, and then, yung hair, kikita din, and then,
27:18yung flex, yung muscles niya.
27:20So, after sa mga photos na raw, the process of editing, anong gamit mo?
27:29I actually color correct sa Lightroom, and then, dun sa other post-processing naman sa Photoshop.
27:36So, I do a combination of Lightroom and Photoshop.
27:39Is it minimal only, o kailangan, siyempre, kailangan na ito, capping.
27:46Depende lang din sa gusto ng client.
27:47Okay.
27:48If gusto niya na kasama itong sa lower part, but I think this one is already good.
27:53Okay.
27:54Kung ika-crop natin siya based on this profile, and then, yung color correct na lang, touch up lang din
28:00sa mga blemishes dun sa muka, and then, we're good to go.
28:05Okay.
28:11Anong, oh, Sir Max, anong mga focal length yung?
28:16Yung gamit ko sa studio, since my space is, not necessarily cramped.
28:22Okay.
28:22Yung ginagamit ko mostly is the Nifty 50.
28:2550?
28:2650, yes.
28:2650 mm, and then, pag marami naman sila, I usually do the wider 135.
28:31Pero pag gusto ko ng medyo tight shot lang, mga beauty lang, mukha-mukha, nag-7200.
28:38Okay.
28:39Para mas maganda yun.
28:40Type, type.
28:41But, you know, yung sa Hendy's, di ba, may nagtanong na, ah, boring ba gamitin yung 50?
28:50My answer would be no.
28:52It's really good.
28:54You just don't know yung capabilities ng 50.
28:57You're not, you're not really, ah, hindi mo siya, paano ba masasabihin yun?
29:05Hindi mo siya ma-appreciate kung hindi mo siya ginagamit.
29:07True.
29:08Tsaka, ano yung tawag doon is kasabihan na, kung ano yung gamit mo, lumitin mo.
29:15Oo.
29:19So, here we'll do tight shot.
29:23Ito na lang.
29:25I'll do half.
29:31Okay.
29:34Grabe yung details.
29:36Oo.
29:38Kita pati yung front lines.
29:39Oo.
29:40Ito.
29:42So, depende na din yan.
29:44Really depends on the client if they want to remove or just stay raw.
29:50Oo.
29:50So, I would suggest, since it depende na din sa gusto na output.
29:57So, like you said, depende sa client.
29:59But for me, I would rather present it sa client na polished siya rather than raw.
30:05Kasi mas parang ma-appreciate nila na, okay, this photographer provided the photos clean
30:12rather than us looking for another person to do the cleaning.
30:15May, may ano pala ako.
30:17May isang question lang na.
30:19Anong magiging reaction mo if ang client nang hingi ng raw, tapos makikita mo, magbigay ka din ng edited,
30:28makikita mo biglang magpo-post sila, iba na yung edit, in-edit nila ulit.
30:33I don't really mind as long as they pay for it.
30:35Okay.
30:36It's all about this.
30:39And I guess it's your work, di ba?
30:41And they have the right naman to, we have the right to provide them the raw.
30:46Okay.
30:47At a good price.
30:48Okay.
30:49What if yung editing, nasira yung picture, and then photo by Max Bonggo?
30:58That depends naman.
30:59Depends naman.
31:00I would say, I would release siguro, ito yung profile, and this is the edited.
31:05Now, you be the judge.
31:06Okay, okay.
31:06Yun gano'n.
31:07So, pwede naman tayo mag-disclaimer sa mga pictures natin.
31:11Especially if other people will be doing the editing.
31:16Okay.
31:17Mr. Max, pwede ka magbigay ng advice to photographers na, pwede mag, gusto mag-venture sa studio photography.
31:30Or mag-build ng own studio.
31:34Uh, unlike datin, uh, you have the books, and you know, you have to learn from the books, and learn
31:43by the book.
31:44Now, you can always tweak.
31:47You can always practice.
31:50Uh, TikTok has a lot of resources in terms of studio and lighting techniques.
31:55And, so, as modeling, so, you can also, uh, check TikTok sa mga ganyan na mga, tawag dito, uh, kaalaman.
32:08Uh, my suggestion, or my advice would be, na, just follow your, you know, passion.
32:15So, if you're really into photography, then, and you'd want to venture into studio lighting, it takes a lot of
32:22learning.
32:23I, myself, is still learning, and I won't say I am very perfect at this.
32:28I still have my flaws, I still commit mistakes, but, you know, these mistakes will make us, you know, do
32:34better.
32:34Kasi, we want to strive to get that perfection, uh, yung perfection na gusto natin makuha for a specific thing,
32:41for a specific, uh, picture.
32:43And, uh, I just hope na, you know, you don't lose your, your grit and yung gusto nyong, you know,
32:52the passion or the burning flame inside to learn photography.
32:56Especially, uh, when you do the, you know, studio lighting.
33:01So, my takeaway for everyone, you know, just follow your passion, guys.
