Someone used my photographs without my permission

August 28, 2012

I wrote this on my FB wall today….

It seems people nowadays don’t care about giving credits to other people’s work. I didn’t imagine this would happen to me. But it did and i feel so bad. Ganito pala yung feeling. You just can’t get over it. di mo pwede palagpasin…

Someone stole my photos from my old blog site and used them for her own, passing them off as photos taken from her son’s recent birthday party.

Here are the links & screen shots I took…

This is the link to the Ethan Gabriel D fb account. The first ten photos were mine, my watermarks are still intact. I don’t own the last four photos

I am just sad at how some people don’t have any respect for other people’s property. This is a violation of Intellectual Property rights. Those photographs are copyrighted.

I sent a private message to the fb account’s owner and to the mother of Ethan Gabriel D, demanding that they remove/delete my photos from the fb account album. But it seems my messages have fallen on deaf ears.

My New Home

Last May, I wanted a different look for my blog. Sadly, none of the templates here in blogger.com appealed to me.

So.... I decided to move my photo blog to wordpress.

No worries, this blog has been my home for many years, I won't be deleting my posts here. You can always come back to check and look at my past works... my evolution as a photographer. :)

And now, this is my new home.... feel free to check, comment, send me some lovin'...  promise, i will try my best to be diligent in posting my client's event. I have two years of backlogs to posts, mostly client's parties and events.

Just click this link  :)

fashbook shoot part 3

The shooting continued. We were  trying to get as much from the fading light… For the spiel for this show’s segment, Solenn changed into a mermaid outfit.  This was the underwater shoot, where the celebrity challengers would pose underwater in their mermaid outfits.

fashbook photoshoot part 2

This is the second of my 3 part fashbook entries.  Shot at Subic Grand Seas Resort.  Prior to this shoot, I was a bit antsy over the impending under water shoot.  But when I saw the sea, the magnificent view, I relaxed.  For this set, I was assigned to shoot Vaness del Moral.

fashbook photoshoot part 1

I was invited by GMA's Fashbook to cover one of their episodes.  The episode's topic was search for Fashbook's Miss Photogenic.  We were brought to Subic for the shoot. The episode was divided into 3 parts  - tree top drop, shooting with sea creatures, and under water glam shoot. This entry is a three part series.


For the first challenge... I was at the foot of the tree top drop, assigned to shoot the 3 celebrity challengers' reaction/pose after the drop, including the show's host, Solenn Heussaff.

diana was referred to me by my friend glenn, who jokingly calls me his "ex", as he used to shoot with me in my earlier events.  i was ecstatic to find that this is going to be a beach wedding - my first!  i used to wish for a beach wedding in boracay. it may not have the fine, powdery white sand of boracay, but laiya has its own charm and the view was breathtaking. 


brian & diana's wedding was intimate, laid back, simple, nothing fancy, with a few close friends and family who came all the way from manila to celebrate their union.

leine is a close friend and a pinay shutter sister. so it only follows when she tied the knot with her "dear ko" papa myk, she didn't get not just two wedding photographers (me & marrah), but the whole pinay shutter sisterhood (or what we call ourselves as 'alembongs') as well.

here's a peek at the PS wedding of the year... :)
