Amorsoloesque Workshop by Maricris Fabi Carlos

Today, I had the opportunity to attend the first ‘Amorsoloesque’,a photo enhancement and manipulation workshop which was made possible by Mike Sabarre’s MS Studioworks.

It was actually my second time to attend a workshop with MS Workstudio. The first was with Mr. Parc Cruz and this time with equally creative and talented photographer, Ms. Maricris Fabi Carlos.

We started the workshop with a photo shoot. The participants were grouped into three whom will take turns in taking photos of our beautiful and sexy model,Ms. Kristine Mae Aquino, who’s also a professional belly dancer/artist. She obviously had the right to wear those outfits, gorgeous indeed! Oh, I must say she really moves gracefully, how she flips her hands and turn around seems to be less effort on her and well choreographed. She ‘ s so game and never complains even if some of the poses were back breaking, I apologize for having you leap a few times. Teri Capuno Jinayon, the make-up artist, did a good job in making Kristine more beautiful.

I didn’t bring a camera during the workshop but Mike was so generous in lending me his expensive Nikon camera! Thanks Mike! :) We finished the photo shoot around 12:00 and a palatable lunch was served. I just love the “Kare-kare!“

After lunch the discussion on the workflow followed. I have had a very hard time dealing with my laptop. It wasn’t working! The Portable CS4 that I downloaded last night was such a mess! It took about 3 minutes to open CS4 in my laptop, such a waste of time! Apparently I have to uninstall the CS3 so that it will work just fine. I haven’t really use CS4 so i thought of preserving the CS3. Parang sumasabay sa malakas na ulan! When it rains, it really pours. It seems that all my stuffs were inundated and flushed out of the sewer! Mabuti na lang mababait ang mga tao sa paligid! Thanks sir Jon Carlos, for letting me used your laptop. I was able to follow the workflow, whew!

I guess one day is not enough to assimilate the discussion, I wish there were more exercises to work on. I am happy though because mam Maricris was very kind to give us useful files which we can use in our own creation. Maraming salamat po!

Again, thank you for this very interesting workshop. Thanks Ms. Maricris for your patience and for passing on your knowledge to us. Kudos to your team!
