00:00:51Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back.
00:00:53Welcome back, welcome back.
00:01:23Welcome back, welcome back.
00:01:53Welcome back, welcome back.
00:01:56Welcome back, welcome back.
00:02:11Welcome back.
00:02:22Sorry, I don't know what I'm talking about.
00:02:23Welcome back, welcome back.
00:02:31Welcome back, welcome back.
00:02:33Welcome back.
00:03:01Welcome back, welcome back.
00:03:08Welcome back.
00:03:11Thank you, thank you, thank you for asking that question.
00:03:15I started 19 years ago.
00:03:19Welcome back, welcome back.
00:03:39So, I was so good.
00:03:41I think I was still in first-year college or going to first-year college, high school towards college.
00:03:48I just asked myself to use my Nokia phone.
00:03:52And then...
00:03:53Where's the Nokia?
00:03:56Nokia 6670, if I remember correctly.
00:04:00I was 5110.
00:04:03I was 3210 at the first time.
00:04:05I was 3210.
00:04:06So, no.
00:04:07But yeah, I started with a Nokia.
00:04:10And...
00:04:11I didn't know how to paint.
00:04:13I don't...
00:04:13I still don't know how to paint.
00:04:15I don't know how to draw.
00:04:16But I always wanted to make images.
00:04:18I always wanted to make something that was close to painting and drawing.
00:04:23So, when I started doing photography kay Nakaingun,
00:04:27wala, pwede man ni, eh.
00:04:30And then, 19 years later, almost two decades later, naanata din eh.
00:04:35Sa pitik.
00:04:36Thanks to you, sir.
00:04:37Salamat, salamat.
00:04:39Kung alam ko ba, same ta kay ang akong lolo is a painter.
00:04:44As well as a photographer.
00:04:46Then I don't know how to paint.
00:04:48So, ka na.
00:04:51Nag light paint...
00:04:52Light painting ta.
00:04:55They know it.
00:04:56They know it.
00:04:56Because again, photography is drawing with light.
00:04:59Yeah.
00:04:59And ang ato ang...
00:05:00Ang atong canvas kay...
00:05:03Ang kalibutan outside...
00:05:05Outside.
00:05:06And then, ang ato ang gigamit nga paint is light.
00:05:12So, we're painting.
00:05:13We're drawing with light.
00:05:14So, I totally agree.
00:05:15I totally agree with you.
00:05:17From...
00:05:18Ano sa'y mga kasigari na yung mo i-take photos?
00:05:21Like, sa katong Nokia pa?
00:05:23Siguro, more like...
00:05:25More sag filmish effect tingali na.
00:05:27Ano sa'y mga take ni mo?
00:05:30Oh, yes.
00:05:32I...
00:05:33I...
00:05:34The usual.
00:05:35Kung makakita atang nindot na sunset.
00:05:37Oh, okay.
00:05:37Makakita atang nindot na orchid sa...
00:05:41Ako, specifically, akong lola na siya ay garden.
00:05:45So, um...
00:05:46I...
00:05:47I...
00:05:47I...
00:05:48I...
00:05:48I was always in her garden taking pictures of her orchids, her flowers.
00:05:52So, mga yun na akong ginasugdan.
00:05:55And I think photographers back in the day, sa toang panahon, I think the mid-2000s and early 2000s, magsugod
00:06:04yun ka mag-macro.
00:06:05So, I...
00:06:06I...
00:06:06If I remember...
00:06:08Sa that time, people who started to do photography did that.
00:06:13Nag-close-up yun ko, sige, makro, bahalag, out of focus, but...
00:06:17Ang thought kay...
00:06:19Nakapicture ko, og nindot na botang.
00:06:21So, ang akong na-realize kay nag-respond lang yun ko, og unsay nindot para sa ako, ah, sa una.
00:06:28Ah, nindot ang sunset, akong pikturan.
00:06:30Ah, nindot ang bulak, akong pikturan.
00:06:32Ah, nindot ni nga scene in front of me, akong pikturan.
00:06:35So, I think I was just saying yes all the time to my intuition that I'm going to make a
00:06:43picture so I'm going to click it.
00:06:46Not like this, but I'm going to use my cell phone.
00:06:51I'm going to use my cell phone with my cell phone.
00:06:53In the video, I am going to use my cell phone.
00:06:59My cell phone.
00:07:02So, you can flip it with an extension tube.
00:07:07You can also use the 50mm or kit lens.
00:07:13You can't flip it.
00:07:17This one.
00:07:22From there,
00:07:23from there,
00:07:24from there,
00:07:30but from your college,
00:07:34what are you going to get?
00:07:35Are you still teaching photography?
00:07:38Yes, I am teaching photography
00:07:41in Solomon University
00:07:43under two colleges.
00:07:45The College of Mass Communication,
00:07:48I teach photojournalism
00:07:50and then the College of Performing
00:07:52and Visual Arts,
00:07:53the fine arts classes that I teach
00:07:56or explorations in photography.
00:07:58So, it's both photography
00:08:01but very different
00:08:02in the approach.
00:08:04But I think very similar
00:08:06It's the same medium
00:08:08but it's just like the delivery
00:08:09and the approach that's different.
00:08:11But, basically, photography
00:08:14good akong gitudlo.
00:08:15So,
00:08:18Karun,
00:08:19Karun,
00:08:21do you see photography
00:08:23or say mong gitudlo, Karun,
00:08:25do you see photojournalism
00:08:27like,
00:08:28mo grow?
00:08:31Sa tinood lang,
00:08:32gamay na lang kayo
00:08:33good ang mo take
00:08:35or risk na mahimong photojourn
00:08:37siguro.
00:08:39Salary or something.
00:08:41That's reality man.
00:08:44Can you ask,
00:08:45do you have a question
00:08:46to your students
00:08:48that you have done?
00:08:49Do you have 30 students?
00:08:54That's a very, very good question.
00:08:57Under the people
00:08:59or the students
00:09:00that I'm teaching,
00:09:02most of them have
00:09:04most of them have
00:09:05very diverse career paths
00:09:07so,
00:09:08so,
00:09:14I'm also very active
00:09:16outside the school.
00:09:18So,
00:09:19Dumaguete has a very big
00:09:20photography community
00:09:22and especially a very big
00:09:24street and documentary
00:09:26photography community.
00:09:27so,
00:09:28on the campus,
00:09:29maybe it's just a little bit
00:09:30outside the campus
00:09:32through the photography
00:09:34communities,
00:09:35you have a lot of
00:09:37photographers,
00:09:38especially younger
00:09:39photographers
00:09:40that are very interested
00:09:42with photojournalism.
00:09:45But,
00:09:46it's a cutthroat industry.
00:09:53It's a very difficult place
00:10:10to navigate
00:10:11into
00:10:13once,
00:10:14or once you decide
00:10:15that you're going to go
00:10:16for a living.
00:10:18But,
00:10:19it also,
00:10:20at the same time,
00:10:22Murag,
00:10:22I just left it
00:10:23to take
00:10:25interest.
00:10:26Actually,

00:13:14na,
00:13:15ah,
00:13:15ah,
00:13:18street,
00:13:18ah,
00:13:20ah,
00:13:31i totally agree,
00:13:32murag,
00:13:33instead of thinking about singular images,
00:13:36I always tell the people that I go out on photo walks with, especially in Dumaguete, it's important to have
00:13:45context and narrative.
00:13:47And for you to get context and narrative, you actually have to be out there experiencing photography itself, walking, talking,
00:13:58interacting, and just putting yourself out there.
00:14:02If you only feel like you're doing it, you just feel like you're doing it, what if once a month
00:14:09you feel like you're doing it once a month, you're not going to experience outside.
00:14:15So I would like, no, not I would like, but I firmly believe that if you want to become a
00:14:24better photographer, want to become a better photojournalist, or if you want to become better at anything that you want
00:14:31to do,
00:14:31you have to be consistent with it.
00:14:34You should be able to do it, you should be able to do it, you should be able to create
00:14:38the activity once you're doing it, you're better at it.
00:14:44There's no way to get photographs.
00:14:46I mean, you can take pictures inside your house, but if you want to know stories, if you want to
00:14:53know people, and if you want to tell stories,
00:14:56you have to go outside and experience the world.
00:14:59And I think photography is an experiential, especially a very physical experience.
00:15:07It involves a lot of walking, it involves a lot of interacting, and it involves a lot of being uncomfortable
00:15:16outside in public.
00:15:18So it must be a mix of everything so that you're comfortable with.
00:15:24I mean, you can take pictures, you can take pictures.
00:15:55Every day, if you can, you can practice.
00:16:00Imagine, street photography and photojournalist you combine.
00:16:04Nindot kayo.
00:16:07Nagtanaw ang Osaka Idol, si Anton.
00:16:11Sir Anton, Belyo, kamusta naman ka?
00:16:14Sir Anton, idol.
00:16:15Hi, boss, Oli.
00:16:20Hello from Takloban, Sachi, Kua.
00:16:24Sachi, Kua, Kua.
00:16:26Sorry, ha.
00:16:27Jem, so Sir Jem watching.
00:16:29One of the best and most grounded street photographers out there.
00:16:33Nice seeing you, Sir Yurich from Jem.
00:16:38Flores Kim, let's go.
00:16:40Wow, wow, wow, wow.
00:16:41And Gugmang Lagan, Alan Tangkawan.
00:16:44Musta, diha.
00:16:45Okay, so, street, from macro, nag-macro ka, ha?
00:16:54Onsan mo pag-abot na, nabot ka street, do you, onsan mo mong buha to nag,
00:17:01kinsay mo mong tanahon ng mga photos, or naman d'yo tayo mong tanahon before,
00:17:07ala, ala, gano'n ko, anida, ala, gano'n, ana ba?
00:17:11Asa ka ni, venture to.
00:17:14Taas-taas ding story, ha?
00:17:15Sige lang, taas-taas po ta.
00:17:17Sige, so, so, I started with that Nokia camera.
00:17:22And then, after, after I maxed it out, nga ka nang murag feeling na ko, murag maunag yun na yung
00:17:29pinaka-best akong mahimo, aninga camera.
00:17:32I was probably 16 or 17, no, 15 or 16 that time.
00:17:38So, nagpadayon lang yung pinaka-point-and-shoot camera sa akong mama.
00:17:42It was a Casio XLM XS500, if I can remember correctly.
00:17:48So, nagpadayon lang yung hapon ko, makro ato, but mas nigawas na ko, madtokong minteryo.
00:17:55But, after, but ka nang sa minteryo, di pa ako mapicture o tao.
00:17:59Mamicture lang ko sa mga figures sa minteryo, like ang satua sa ginoo, ang altar sa tunga sa minteryo.
00:18:07So, I just wanted to take pictures of things that were different than the usual things I saw at home,
00:18:13or the things that I saw near home.
00:18:16After ato, ni ato ko sa gawas, nakatrabaho ko, college pa ko, nag-summer job ko.
00:18:24And that was when I got my very first DSLR.
00:18:28This was around 2010.
00:18:31And this was also the same year that, along with, I think, 4, 5, 6, less than 10 photographers,
00:18:41we founded the Sileman University Camera Club.
00:18:44Kay, we had to cover Uni Games 2010.
00:18:48And nanginangalan man sila ang photographers.
00:18:51So, nagtapok mitan na ang photographers sa Sileman.
00:18:54We said, wala pa may alimuhag on-sa-on pag-picture, but we had camera.
00:18:59So, that was the start of it.
00:19:02And I was lucky enough to have really good mentors.
00:19:06And I would like to mention one mentor who really shaped the way,
00:19:12not just how I took or made photographs,
00:19:16but the most important thing was how I interacted with people.
00:19:20How I carried myself into places, into talking with people, talking to clients.
00:19:27Shout out to Kuya Greg Morales.
00:19:30So, siya ang akong mentor na nasa sa New York ka ron.
00:19:33And then, nagpadayon lang ko, padayon lang ko,
00:19:36until I started reading and I discovered Magnum Photos.
00:19:44And this was around 2012, 2013.
00:19:48I got my very first Magnum book.
00:19:50It was called Magnum Magnum in 2014.
00:19:54And pag-abri pa lang naku sa libro ni Anna ko,
00:19:58muna akong ganahang buhatun.
00:20:00Muna akong ganahang imuon nga,
00:20:03to tell stories of people,
00:20:06to tell your own story po through your photographs.
00:20:12And to have that humanity,
00:20:18humanity can be very,
00:20:20can be both,
00:20:22nasa sa extremes bit now,
00:20:24extreme na kalipay, extreme na kaguol,
00:20:27and ang work sa Magnum really resonated with me.
00:20:32So, nakadesign ko atong mogud to,
00:20:40akong mogud ni,
00:20:41akong ganahang buhatun.
00:20:42So, it was, it was,
00:20:44it was through buying that book
00:20:46into, into street photography
00:20:49and eventually documentary photography.
00:20:53So, mauna,
00:20:55kita ko Anna sa iyong trabaho.

00:23:01and I got this from,
00:23:03the great,
00:23:04Joel Meyerowitz,
00:23:06he,
00:23:06if,
00:23:07wala mo na kailan ni Joel Meyerowitz,
00:23:09he is a,
00:23:09documentary street photographer,
00:23:12that's based,
00:23:13I think,
00:23:13in France,
00:23:14nakaroon,
00:23:14and he was,
00:23:15he is still very,
00:23:16very popular,

00:23:18his work span decades,
00:23:20and he still makes photographs,
00:23:22until now,
00:23:23and,
00:23:24and,
00:23:25naagid siya,
00:23:27naasya,
00:23:27kanyang,
00:23:28iyahang framework,
00:23:29with you,
00:23:30na,
00:23:30ang pag-shift,
00:23:31sa pag-understanding mo,
00:23:33sa photography,
00:23:34na,
00:23:35instead of taking photographs,
00:23:38make photographs,
00:23:39because,
00:23:40when you,
00:23:40make photographs,
00:23:41you're more intentional with it,
00:23:43nya,
00:23:43tsaka totoo,
00:23:43yung mong gawin ngun sir,

00:23:46gilang ka,
00:23:47og-take,
00:23:47but,
00:23:48when you're intentional,
00:23:50when you actually know,
00:23:51what you're doing,
00:23:52and at least have an idea,
00:23:54on what you want to get,
00:23:56in your photograph,
00:23:58na nakai intention,
00:23:59and once you have that intention,
00:24:01you're,
00:24:02you're,
00:24:02you're more equipped,
00:24:03to go out,
00:24:04because,
00:24:05you have direction,
00:24:06and I think,
00:24:07that's,
00:24:08that's something,
00:24:09that we should practice,
00:24:10instead of just taking pictures,
00:24:12we should try to,
00:24:13to make them.

00:25:51more than half of my life,
00:25:53and,
00:25:54when I started doing this consistently,
00:25:57the practice of going out,
00:25:58the practice of making photographs,
00:26:00the practice of walking,
00:26:01and doing photography,
00:26:03sa unake,
00:26:04I always wanted to chase that photograph,
00:26:07I wanted,
00:26:08there was always that something in my mind,
00:26:10na dapat karong adlawa,
00:26:11umugawas ko,
00:26:12na agad ko'y makuha nga picture,
00:26:14and then I,
00:26:15I would usually,
00:26:16get like one or two good pictures,
00:26:18and I would call it a day,
00:26:20but,
00:26:22not recently,
00:26:24but,
00:26:25there's also been a shift,
00:26:27that's been happening within me,
00:26:30murag,

00:26:40now in love,
00:26:41with the process,
00:26:42of photographing,
00:26:44itself,
00:26:45not,
00:26:46finding,
00:26:47the best photograph,
00:26:49but,
00:26:49the act of going out,
00:26:51the act of walking,
00:26:52the act of really feeling,
00:26:54the heat of the sun,
00:26:55while you're walking,
00:26:57that,
00:26:57that excitedness,

00:36:20ikaw,
00:36:21the type of,
00:36:22you want dool ka?
00:36:25good question,
00:36:26um,
00:36:27I use,
00:36:28I shoot,
00:36:29uh,
00:36:30with a Fuji X100F,
00:36:32so,
00:36:32it has a fixed 23mm lens,
00:36:34times 1.5,
00:36:36it's around 35mm,
00:36:38so,
00:36:39um,
00:36:40sa una,
00:36:41I've,
00:36:41I started shooting extensively,
00:36:43documenting the streets,
00:36:45and the changes in Dumaguete,
00:36:47started in 2013,
00:36:48until 2016,
00:36:51I used an iPhone,
00:36:53extensively,
00:36:54yan,
00:36:54katong mga karaan nga iPhone,
00:36:56na,
00:36:56na siya sa mga 28mm,
00:36:58and then,
00:36:58nag-shift ko,
00:37:00into,
00:37:01nag-canon pa man ko before,
00:37:02canon nga pancake,
00:37:0424mm,
00:37:04so,
00:37:05pag-shift na ko,
00:37:06into Fuji,
00:37:07nag-bali na ko,
00:37:0823,
00:37:09so,
00:37:10gamay na lang kayong adjustment,
00:37:11so,
00:37:12to answer your question,
00:37:13I like to shoot with a 23,
00:37:15and a 35mm equivalent,
00:37:18because ganahan ko,
00:37:19I like my photographs,
00:37:21to feel,
00:37:22realistic,
00:37:23I want them to feel,
00:37:24as if,
00:37:25galantaw ka,
00:37:26with your own set of eyes,
00:37:28because our eyes,
00:37:29they see roughly around,
00:37:31that focal length po,
00:37:32ang ato,
00:37:33ang field of view,
00:37:34nasa mga around,
00:37:3535,
00:37:36siguro,
00:37:37to 40,
00:37:37na iuban mo yung 50,
00:37:39I'm not sure,
00:37:39the exact,
00:37:40with the exact number,
00:37:42but,
00:37:42if ganahan ko,
00:37:43mupaduol,
00:37:44I use my feet,
00:37:46to zoom in,
00:37:47and I use my feet,
00:37:49to zoom out,
00:37:50so,
00:37:52I think,
00:37:54using one lens,
00:37:55and one camera,
00:37:57is also a good practice,
00:37:58if you,
00:38:00want to,
00:38:01if you really want to master,
00:38:04what you're using,
00:38:05or the tool,
00:38:06that you're using,
00:38:07it's a limit,
00:38:08but through that limitation,
00:38:11you're also maximizing,
00:38:12your capacity,
00:38:13to be creative,
00:38:14with it,
00:38:15and I like,
00:38:16to challenge myself,
00:38:18every day,
00:38:18with shooting,
00:38:20just,
00:38:20with shooting,
00:38:21just one camera,
00:38:22and one lens,
00:38:23and so far,
00:38:24comfortably,
00:38:25kaya ko,
00:38:25na nga focal length,
00:38:26ka nang 35 millimeters,
00:38:28na ako yung zoom,
00:38:29na ako yung line,
00:38:30nga prime lenses,
00:38:31but I use it,
00:38:32for professional work,
00:38:33if na ako yung corporate,
00:38:34nga shoot,
00:38:35if na ako yung,
00:38:38portraits,
00:38:39magamit,
00:38:39gud ko sa akong 50,
00:38:41or if na,
00:38:41mo shoot,
00:38:42siguro ko,
00:38:43kaya I also do,
00:38:44I also do corporate jobs,
00:38:47sometimes,
00:38:48and if mo shoot ko,
00:38:49og mga interior photographs,
00:38:51especially,
00:38:52mag shoot,
00:38:53bansad kog airbnb,
00:38:55I've shot,
00:38:56quite a few airbnbs,
00:38:58in Dumaguete,
00:38:59and outside Dumaguete,
00:39:00and,
00:39:01magamit yung,
00:39:01kog 10mm,
00:39:03or 12mm,
00:39:04ka nang wide,
00:39:04ka ayo,
00:39:05pero sa akong own,
00:39:06professional,
00:39:07not professional,
00:39:08well,
00:39:08I would still call it professional,
00:39:10in my own,
00:39:13photography work,
00:39:14ang akong ginagamit,
00:39:15kaya ako arag yung,
00:39:16X100F,
00:39:17with the 23mm,
00:39:19which is equivalent to 35mm.
00:39:22Okay.
00:39:23Which would you prefer?
00:39:25Connect ka with the people,
00:39:27or to be invincible?
00:39:30Ah,

00:39:42And,
00:39:43katong nabongot,
00:39:45funnily enough,
00:39:47people would assume,
00:39:49that I was a foreigner,
00:39:50because of my beard.
00:39:51In a weird way,
00:39:53people would assume,
00:39:54sir,

00:39:55who are you,
00:39:56what are you doing?
00:39:57So ako,

00:49:08or Europe,

00:53:16the later it gets,
00:53:17the more,
00:53:18the more,
00:53:20interesting the light becomes.
00:53:22Kabantay mo,
00:53:22pagka,
00:53:24padong na yud nga,
00:53:25musilop ang,
00:53:26adlaw,
00:53:26ma-orange yud ga yung,
00:53:27ang ginatawag nila nga golden hour.
00:53:29So,
00:53:30I,
00:53:30I have been trying to,
00:53:32I have been trying to photograph,
00:53:33that specific,
00:53:35sweet spot,
00:53:37of the afternoon,
00:53:38around 4.30 to 5 o'clock,
00:53:40nga ganahan kayo sa quality,
00:53:42sa suga.
00:53:42So,
00:53:43to answer your question,
00:53:44nag-vary siya.
00:53:46As I am progressing,
00:53:47with my practice,
00:53:49there has,
00:53:49there has also been a shift,
00:53:51in terms of how I see light,
00:53:53and how I want to translate light,
00:53:55in my photographs.
00:53:57Okay.
00:53:58Nindut no?
00:53:59If ever,
00:54:01harsh,
00:54:01sige,
00:54:02words ka harsh,
00:54:03they,
00:54:04uh,
00:54:06what's the process of your editing?
00:54:08Like,
00:54:09normal,
00:54:09kuha lang ka ng,
00:54:11uh,
00:54:12brightness,
00:54:13contrast,
00:54:15kabalo ka sir,
00:54:17tungod nga,
00:54:18nga,
00:54:19nga purist,
00:54:19tong ako ang mentor,
00:54:21si Greg Morales,
00:54:22atong gishoutout kanina.
00:54:23I have carried that practice,
00:54:25into my own practice pod.
00:54:27So,
00:54:27believe it or not,
00:54:3095 to 97% of my photographs,
00:54:35mauna na siya,
00:54:36what you see,
00:54:36is what you get.
00:54:37Gamay na lang yun kaayo akong ginatwi.
00:54:39Because I want to make it right,
00:54:4295% of the time,
00:54:44in camera,
00:54:44so that during post,
00:54:46I only touch a very few,
00:54:48I only touch very few sliders.
00:54:50So,
00:54:50I put my contrast up a bit,
00:54:53shadows a little down,
00:54:55highlights,
00:54:55dipende if medyo o exposed siya,
00:54:57or ngit-ngit lang siya,
00:54:59but it's basically just contrast,
00:55:01exposure,
00:55:02highlights,
00:55:02and shadows.
00:55:03I don't touch anything else,
00:55:04other than that.
00:55:06Very, very basic lang.
00:55:08Nindut ka yun na discipline,
00:55:09jud, as in.
00:55:11Like,
00:55:11one in one click,
00:55:13kay Baonaka na,
00:55:14saktunay mong gipo.
00:55:15Baonaka, yeah.
00:55:16You know it.
00:55:16You know it.
00:55:17And I,
00:55:17I really want to,
00:55:19I really want to,
00:55:22make truthful images.
00:55:23And,
00:55:24I think,
00:55:25as,
00:55:26as photojournalists,
00:55:27we always want to convey the truth.
00:55:29And,
00:55:30that's,
00:55:31one,
00:55:31one way of,
00:55:33being truthful,
00:55:35to my practice.
00:55:36Nga,
00:55:36muragabaloko,
00:55:37nga,
00:55:38chakto lang ko,
00:55:39in camera,
00:55:40nga,
00:55:40dilike ko grabe,
00:55:41mo post-process.
00:55:42Though,
00:55:42again,
00:55:43we all have different,
00:55:46We all have different practices.
00:55:48I have nothing against,
00:55:50um,
00:55:50people post-processing,
00:55:52their images,
00:55:53and having,
00:55:53their photographs look,
00:55:55the way they look.
00:55:56Again,
00:55:56there is no right or wrong,
00:55:58in,
00:55:58in,
00:55:59in expressing ourselves,
00:56:00through this medium.
00:56:01But,
00:56:02for me,
00:56:03um,
00:56:04I am very,

00:58:53And I always shoot with a very,
00:58:55uh,
00:58:56narrow aperture.
00:58:57Uh,

01:01:00Sige.
01:01:02Last ko alang,
01:01:05any advice to
01:01:09young,
01:01:10young
01:01:10students,
01:01:12students that
01:01:13wants to
01:01:14venture,
01:01:16or gusto na mo,
01:01:17gusto mo
01:01:17padayon
01:01:18to photojournalism?
01:01:22I would just like
01:01:24to repeat
01:01:24what I said
01:01:25a while ago
01:01:26about
01:01:26not chasing
01:01:28that perfect
01:01:29photograph,
01:01:29but at least
01:01:30try to shift
01:01:31that mindset
01:01:32from
01:01:32looking for
01:01:34that great
01:01:34photograph
01:01:35into just
01:01:36loving the
01:01:36process of
01:01:37photographing.
01:01:38So instead
01:01:40nga mag-chase
01:01:40ta,
01:01:41instead nga
01:01:41mag-sigitag
01:01:42overthink
01:01:43na hala wala
01:01:44ko yung picture
01:01:44karun,
01:01:45or hala
01:01:45on sa akong
01:01:45picture karun,
01:01:47try to shift
01:01:47that and say,
01:01:48okay,
01:01:49mugawas ko karun,
01:01:51mamicture ko,
01:01:52i-enjoy na ako
01:01:52ang process
01:01:53nga mamicture ko.
01:01:55And with
01:01:55that shift
01:01:57comes
01:01:59a lot of
01:02:00surprises.
01:02:01And if you
01:02:02try to
01:02:03embody and
01:02:03practice that,
01:02:04makita yun ninyo
01:02:05nga,
01:02:06o kira man
01:02:07di ay?
01:02:07o kira nga,
01:02:08di li ikaw
01:02:09ma-pressure sa
01:02:09imong self.
01:02:10And also,
01:02:12you have
01:02:13to be
01:02:14consistent
01:02:15with your
01:02:15practice.
01:02:17You can't
01:02:18just expect
01:02:19yourself to
01:02:20have or
01:02:21get a great
01:02:22photograph if
01:02:23you don't put
01:02:23yourself out
01:02:24there.
01:02:25Repetition
01:02:26is the key
01:02:27to mastery.
01:02:29And to
01:02:29master your
01:02:30craft,
01:02:30you have to
01:02:31do it
01:02:31repeatedly.
01:02:32You have
01:02:33to make
01:02:33tons of
01:02:34mistakes and
01:02:35you have to
01:02:36take and
01:02:36make tons
01:02:37of
01:02:37photographs.
01:02:38And don't
01:02:39be scared
01:02:39to make
01:02:39mistakes.
01:02:40It's part
01:02:41of the
01:02:41process.
01:02:42Okay,
