Photography workshop


Friends,

Please pass on. :)

Photography workshop slots (Makati studio) still available for Oct 23 and Nov 6. Each workshop day is complete by itself with Basic in the am and Advanced/ Strobist in the pm, as follows:

8am-12noon - Learn the Basics, the Hard Skills of ShutterSpeed, Aperture & ISO; and the Soft Skills of Background, Exposure, Composition, Posing and Concept. (500p)

2-6pm - Advanced Portraiture/Strobist Photography. Learn the use of off-camera flashes and open a new world of creative photography. Including Low-/High-key portraiture. (500p)

One can opt to take only the basic or only the advanced but one is enjoined to take both if fundamentals are not strong. Many participants take the Basic am and the Advanced pm because we build in the pm on what was learned in the am. The Basic workshop is also a good refresher for experienced photographers.

Nov. 6, 2-6pm, is the special FHM model workshop shoot with Nathalie Hayashi. Please contact me at 0917 327 1106 for details.

Please check out my Facebook wall for my students' photos and testimonials. :)

Strobist kits sold at great prices c/o Filters Exchange.

Cheers,
Winston

Dr. Patrick Azanza, Founder of Cosmotec Group of Companies

Dr. Patrick T. Azanza was born to a modest family of educators and was raised in the island-province of Catanduanes along with nine brothers and sisters. He studied hard as a scholar at the premiere learning institutions of UP and Harvard University, and distinguished himself as one of the country’s leading educators and academic leaders.

Consistent Scholar and Active Student Leader at UP

While pursuing AB Sociology at UP Los Banos, Dr. Azanza was elected Chairman of the UP Los Banos Student Council in 1986 due to his excellent and charismatic leadership qualities. He was well-respected by his peers because of his nationalist principles that within the same year, he was also elected Chairman of the entire UP System’s Alliance of All UP Student Councils (otherwise known as KASAMA SA UP). Dr. Azanza was an active student leader and street parliamentarian during his college years.

But unlike many other student leaders during his time, he maintained a good academic standing and finished his course under the UP Presidential scholarship grant. He was one of the very few recipients of a straight UP Presidential Scholarship Grant for his bachelor’s (Sociology), master’s (Sociology), and doctoral (Education) degrees. He holds a post-doctoral diploma from the HarvardUniversity, and took up a post-graduate certificate course in Human Resource Management at the University of California Riverside Campus, and Human Capital Management at the Asian Institute of Management (AIM). He also very recently completed Juris Doctor (JD) at the UP College of Law. The academic and research expertise of Dr. Azanza is, thus, a product of his commitment to lifelong learning and academic excellence.


The Philippine Folklore Society (PFS), the foremost national alliance of folklore scholars, professors and researchers in the Philippines which was founded in 1958 by cultural anthropologist Dr. Arsenio Manuel, historian Teodoro Agoncillo, and mother of Philippine folklore Dr. Damiana Eugenio, on the occasion of its 50th year anniversary last August 25, 2008, conferred upon Dr. Azanza the prestigious “Most Outstanding Folklore Researcher Award” for his important works and significant contributions to the field of folklore studies and research that led to the preservation of the “Alamat ng Mandaluyong”, a more than 400-year old oral Filipino folklore which was in great danger of becoming extinct until its preservation through the efforts of Dr. Azanza.
