That's the message I picked up
viewing about a hundred of slides presented by PALMC president and workshop
lecturer Banny Hermanos at the MFPI Creative Outdoors Photography Workshop held
last 3 April 2004 at the PAL Learning Center in Padre Faura.
Taken by no less than the
lecturer himself who by education is an architect, the slides dramatize
graphically the module of the workshop: the basics on the principles of
photography and creative effective compositions.
Banny pointed out the principles
using his works in finding the center of interest; recognizing the graphic
elements of design as line, shape, form, pattern, texture and color and using
the visual elements of balance, proportion, scale, content, rhythm and
repetition. In words, they seem
overwhelming, in pictures, they are breathtaking.
On behalf of the handful of
participants who showed up for the free show, we can only be grateful. Seeing
the slides of Banny is already in itself a treat. When in time we ourselves can
create better compositions from the techniques shared, we will appreciate
creating the light even more.

Stepping out of the Banny
Hermanos’ module of “The Outdoors in a New Light, I can’t help but appreciate
the works of Mr. Ed Songco featured in his offbeat website http://eds1979.dk3.com . Ed’s works
exemplify the principle shared with us on a strong center of interest. See how he anchors his composition with a
strong visual element in Capones, Akiki and Flowers.
Ed states with humility “kindly
lower your expectations; photography is not my profession, I just want to
capture some moments, and keep them in my collection.”
View the album and judge for
yourself. All of them will end up being your favorites.
Thanks Ferdz (another graphic
designer) for sharing his album with us. Ferdz is also another skillful visual
and web artist. His works at http://www.ironwulf.net/
speak for himself.
