During the meeting, Manny showed photos by participants of his workshops from various places around the world, the latest of which was held in Cebu yesterday.

Manny has conducted workshops in Canada, the United States, Amsterdam, Scandinavia, India, Egypt, Bhutan, Thailand, Viet Nam, Myanmar, Indonesia, Australia and, of course, the Philippines. He is the only Filipino photographer who holds this distinction.
A signature photograph by Manny Librodo
While Manny does wonders to a photograph during the post-process (he’s a Photoshop expert), the photography guru emphasizes the importance of getting the image right straight from the camera. The photo above is proof of that; this has not gone through any post processing whatsoever – straight from the camera, the photo was resized only for the Web, proof also of Manny’s superlative skills as a photographer.
