The weather was pretty bad when I came home from Taiwan
This was early in December
When a storm battered the Philippines
As they usually would during those times
I thought we were going to postpone the session
But Johanna told me we’re pushing through
Rain, shine or whatever the weather
I couldn’t be happier we did
And yes there was sun and wind and rain
But I would not think twice
And do it all over again
Thank You Johanna and Chris
Johanna’s family has a little forest in their compound.
We started there
As always, there’s a little awkwardness
But it soon faded away
And we became naturals at it.
It was the first time I met Chris
He hails from Switzerland
We walked around their forest.
And took pictures of everything
I used a lot of greens for the foreground.
I could not be happier.
And that these two were also game.
I met Johanna a few months before this session
I told her it was nice to talk a bit before shooting.
Because that would make everything a little lighter.
I also visited their place to check the area.
So I’ve pretty much had an idea how the pictures would look.
But of course I left a few things
To chance.
After all, it’s not about me.
It’s all about you.
And all about these.
And that.
I mostly just observe
And capture you the way you are.
I knew I had to use the trampoline
And I jumped with them
It was fun but terribly exhausting
Coincidentally, one of Johanna’s aunt was my previous boss in Aboitiz.
