Through the Lens of Master Librodo

Shoot with Master Manny Librodo (Asia’s Master of Photography)

      Manuel Libres 
Librodo Jr., “Life is a series of experiments”. His photos are extensions of his experiments. He learn, He stumble, He succeed, He fail, but He continue. This, for Him, is the essence of learning

  Four years of ride into the world of photography and He’s still enjoying the exciting loops and turns this journey has offered him. 

He have been published in various international magazines (Digital Photo UK, Digital Camera UK, Mabuhay, Philippines, Digital Photography UK , among others) and he have appeared in other international publications in Poland, India, the US, etc. He’s one of the featured photographers in UNICEF 2008 calendar/planner and will be appearing in their 2009 Wall Calendar). He is also conducted portraiture workshops in some of Asia's main cities and in Canada.

“ When I was called by CCN, Camera Club of Negros, about the shoot, Doc. Mac. told me if I can provide 2 pretty models for them, It’s for the annual activity of CCN for their members to gather and in a way their bonding time,and at the same time they invite some photographers across the region to join them for the said activity,  since I am the agent of Bacolod Association of Models, I  chose 2 of the  top models in the agency, Minmin Cherniguin Ang and Noreen Macy Dongon.

His ULTIMATE GOAL is to have his own COFFEE-TABLE book. 

He is originally from the town of Lambunao, Iloilo Province, located in the central part of the Philippines. Currently, He is teaching in an international school in Bangkok, Thailand. 

At first, I never asked who will be their guest for the shoot, Doc Mac told me, they invited some photographers from Iloilo, and one of the master photographers in asia! BANG!!!    It’s MANNY LIBRODO !!!  I was so excited when Doc. Mac called for a meeting together with Sir Manny,to finalized the concept, wardrobes and make up.

  

 With my partner Amanda Montaño, the sought-after hairstylist in Bacolod,I started the make up and Amanda did the hairstyling, We started early and finished our make up on time, It was one of the amazing outputs we did. Sir Manny noticed it and congratulate us for a job well done,

    First stop

 is The Ruins, and lastly in BREDCO, the best spot for sunset watching, 

We ended the day with full of fun and lightheartedness.  Another great maquillage!!!
