My very first blog

Welcome to my portfolio site.

Let me start by introducing my self, I am Erick Marcelino a father of two “of two”, a husband of one “Ness” and a friend of many. I am currently living in Singapore and a full time computer analyst/consultant.

I am into photography/videography since when I was like 13 years old. My older brother “Art” and with my youngest brother “LJ” started a studio named “Proverbs Studio” a one single detached room converted to a photo and video studio. We started from one Minolta 35mm film camera, and RCA VHS Camcorder with one halogen lamp 500watts and a DIY light stand made from a metal tube with lots of coupling. “to make it foldable”

From baptismal coverage to birthdays and wedding events to college class picture we all started. Around 1992-1993 when the beginning of something is initiated, our passion into capturing precious moments started. Since then I never stop capturing events, i became the official photo taker of our family. When business get tough and our gadgets gets aged, slowly we became out of focus, we decided to stock our business in the shelf. Maybe one reason is that we need to focus more on our studies.

It was year of 2002 when bought our very first Sony DSC100 a point and shoot camera, then year 2007 when we bought our very first DSLR Camera Nikon D90. I never stopped learning new things so despite of my previous experience I decided to enrol a photography school. Federation of Philippine Photographers Foundation (FPPF) www.photoworldmanila.com this is located in Intramuros Manila.

This is where I got the chance to meet one of the greatest mentor Mr. John Chua of AdPhoto, no word I can describe him you can visit his site at www.adphoto.com if you want to know more about him. Mr. Bogs Ignacio son of Mr. Danny Ignacio of Vignette Photography who is our official photographer and videographer of our wedding, I come across him during my photography school in Intramuros while he is taking a pre nuptial shoot within the same area later I found out that he is also helping FPPF.

So here you go, a glimpse of my photography and videography learning journey.

I will not stop from here, I will continue writing about everthing and anything about photography and videography.

Until the next one. Ciao!
