FPPF Chairperson Eduviges Y. Huang advises would-be professional photographers in the class not to lower their price just to grab another photographer’s job. “How you conduct yourself in your profession reflects your character and dignity,” Mrs. Huang reminds.

Prof. Cecilia S. Angeles shares her critique on the final day of the workshop, with Prof. Rey Castañeda assisting.

Ace photographer Ricky Ladia, a sought-after food photographer himself, shares his hilarious critique on the vegetable photos, with the whole class roiling in laughter. Ricky is doing a strobist workshop in Cebu on September 11 & 12.
