Our dear colleagues, Sir Edwin Tuyay and Sir Richel Mascariñas just recently launched the PonD App last March 25, 2020. The platform was supposed to be for booking a professional photographer for every occasion, but due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the enhanced community quarantine, they have adjusted and converted their app into a citizen Photojournalist on Demand.
G-nie Arambulo is one of the top advertising photographers in the Philippines. In 1992, she discovered her love for photography while art-directing shoots as a client for ADPHOTO. She then joined the premier advertising and commercial photography studio as an in-house designer and moved up as an assistant photographer of the renowned photographer, Mr. John Chua.
Soon after, she gained multiple recognition and awards for her work including The Best in Portraiture from the Master Photographers Association in 2006, Boysen’s print ad campaign ‘Flowers’ won a Bronze Lion at the 2009 Cannes International Advertising Festival, a winner at the Spikes Asia Advertising Festival in 2009, an Araw Award from the Philippine Advertising Congress in 2011, and a Silver Lion award in the Outdoor Category at the Cannes Festival of Creativity in 2011.
Her mastery of creating lighting moods and special effect have made her well-known in the industry, coming up with the most creative solutions to meet her clients’ vision.
Another shining star despite the enhanced community quarantine, Supercharged Workshops brings you SuperStreams (a livestream series that features photographers and videographers in the wedding industry) founded by Ish Montana and Joel Pangilinan to boost and give hope to our dear freelancers who are having difficult time and perhaps feeling down during this Covid-19 pandemic.
Let us all learn and also be entertained from Lito Sy and Oly Ruiz. Be sure to head on their Facebook page on Tuesday, April 28, 2020, 3PM Philippine-time. Have your questions ready and let us learn from these masters. Cheers and keep safe.
I’m a graduate of Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy. I own a wellness center somewhere in the south for almost 15 years already. I’ve been to different business industries (I had a wineshop and a signage & advertising business) before. I am an entrepreneur.
I found photography when a personal tragedy hit me. The passing of my daughter brought me to this industry. Photography became my outlet that time. I started shooting at the streets of Manila doing street photography as a hobby, then I met key persons along the way and introduced me to the advertising and fashion industry.
Bo is a multi-award winning underwater photographer and a marine cinematographer. He has represented the Philippines in numerous international shoots and his images are constantly used to promote diving by the Department of Tourism. He has filmed for award winning documentaries concerning our oceans, international lifestyle programs and short films focusing conservation.
He has over 10,000 hours of underwater time and is in the field 9 months in a year. Bo is also the only Fujifilm Digital Influencer specialising in marine imagery. He is also a brand ambassador for Crest Scuba. Combining the deepest appreciation for scuba, imagery, and sustainable tourism, Bo is iconic in the South East Asian dive industry.
I grew up in a dive centre in Cebu and I’ve been around divers ever since. I was lucky to start diving very early on and even luckier to fall in love with the ocean. There was always a dive magazine and books with amazing photography lying around and this amazed me. Years later, I saved up to enough for a used digital camera with an underwater housing. Although already dated at the time, I got to learn so much about light in the water with that small point and shoot.

For most of my life I’ve never thought of myself as a cat person. I was always in the other camp.
It took Nas for me to realize the magnificence of felines and how attracted I am to their temperament.
Nas is an easy subject. That’s why I find myself posting pictures of him more and more.
We all need this, let’s keep the creative juices flowing.

I’m Jo Lim of Jo Lim Photography. I am a newborn, baby, family portrait photographer. I graduated with a BS Chemistry degree from UST and my first job was a QC lab analyst in a multinational company. Though I like my job, I find it hard to get a permanent job as a chemist (it was a contractual position). After two contractual QCA jobs, my boyfriend, who is now my husband asked me if I wanted to try the animation industry. It was the start of my journey in the field of arts. My work as animation checker involves scene planning, camera stuff (like how to make the drawings work in camera). After 13 years, I quit my job to be a full time mom. And did some business on the side (home baking, personal care products, etc – I was a Jill of all trades :).. Then in 2006, I met a wedding coordinator who mentored me. I started my wedding coordination business in 2007. I enrolled and became a certified wedding specialist from Weddings Beautiful Worldwide in 2008. At that time, I wanted to learn how to take nice photos for my business website and social media (Multiply). In March 2008, I enrolled in my first photography workshop in The Alcove using a point and shoot camera. That was when I fell in love with photography. I couldn’t stop taking photos with my point and shoot camera. After a month, I bought my first DSLR (Canon 400D) and enrolled in the FPPF. I still remember Sir Lito Beltran asking me if I like to go into wedding photography since I am a wedding planner. I said no. But a month after the FPPF “graduation”, I was doing freelance work for a wedding photographer LOL!.
