BORING MONDAYS | Session 58 | TOY TOK | Toy Photography | Collection | Hobby | Business | Anime Talk

#TOY #ANIME #Collection

We're launching the first of our series of chats about hobbies and for our inaugural sessions, we've asked toy collectors and toy photographers to share what they love about action figures, how they got into collecting and what's the payback? What makes toys such interesting "models" for photoshoots? 

Playing with us for this session are RICHARD GATMAITAN, JM LAZATIN & MICHAEL BACTAD. Join me and my team on Boring Mondays Session #58 on November 8, 2021.

BORING MONDAYS | Session 56 | FOOD ATBP. | Food Talk | Restaurant | Blogging | Business | Kitchen 

#Food #Nomnom #Professionals 

We'll tackle the last part of our food series in the next session of Boring Mondays with photographers whose other passion is related to food. We have a couple of food-related small business owners, a food blogger, and a partner of a photographer in their food venture. Because we all love food, IT SEEMS the easiest business to get into but our guests will share the pros and cons of their specific food niche. 

Join our guests Chef Ïsï Läürëänö ( Eat Matters ), Abby Cruz ( Momi Bigbig's Kitchen ), Azrael Coladilla (Azrael's Merryland Blog) & Jon Agner ( Living Room Diner / Eleazar Farm ) and with the Boring Mondays Crew:

BORING MONDAYS | Session 55 | TIME OUT! | SPORTS PHOTOGRAPHY | Golf, Soccer, Biking, Baseball & More

#Sports #SportsPhotography #Professionals 

Sports photography is a specialized field, requiring the proper gear and mastering the techniques so the photographer can get THAT money shot. Those who are in this field also soak up a different kind of discipline and expertise, much like the sportspeople and the games they cover. 

We've invited a panel of accredited and seasoned sports photographers who can anticipate hot moments before they even happen on the sports arena. Let's talk about their experiences and learn a few tips. How do they stay ahead of the competition and get the shots that stand out? 

Join me and my team and our guests COACH DANI BAUTISTA, MARTY ILAGAN, ANTON SHEKER, MYMY ALAGABAN & ISA HALAMANI on OCTOBER 18, 2021 for our coverage on sports photography.

BORING MONDAYS | Session 54 | WHAT'S COOKING? | Food, Business, Hobby, Branding, Social Media & More.

#Food #Nomnom #Business

We've got lots food to talk about on the next Boring Mondays session because we invited guests who are actively in the food business (full-time, part-time or sideline) and who belong to a network of passionate purveyors. They shifted their businesses to adapt to the new normal and we want to know what they did to establish themselves, before and during the pandemic, to help viewers like you gain insights and encouragement to start your own food business. 

Join me and my co-host Macky, Martin, Rommel, Phey & Paloma in welcoming our guests CHEF ISI LAUREANO, DAVE CERVANTES & TYN REYNA to Boring Mondays Session #54 October 11th 2021.

BORING MONDAYS | Session 53 | SIBLINGS | Photography | Profession | Hobby  | Family Talk & More

#Professional #Family #Siblings

It's common for siblings to be in the same industry or profession but does this take a toll on them? We've invited siblings who are active in photography on our next Boring Mondays session and we'll find out how much of their relationship is support vs competition. What is it really like to have family in your niche? 

Join us for our sit-down with JAM MANGALINDAN-RAMOS, JUNNA MANGALINDAN, CRIS MAGSINO & WIN MAGSINO on OCTOBER 4th, 2021.

SPECIAL EPISODE (EP16): JAY TABLANTE | "BAZINGA!" | Fashion | Glamour | Cosplay | Advertising | PRO

#PROPHOTOGRAPHER #COSPLAY #JAYTABLANTE

I consider Jay Tablante as my contemporary in this business and as our paths have crossed over the years, the Jay who sat down with us for a chat on PARC HERE LIVE last night has definitely evolved in his style and views in life. Commendably, he has become more creative, focused, involved, mature and fun...but here are 6 more things we learned from that chat:

1. His creativity, driven by his desire for perfection and attention to detail, all started with a gift from his dad, his one toy as a kid: a set of LEGO. 

2. He will be bold enough to scratch or stop a project if he finds that it doesn't meet his level of expectation. He is his own worst critique.

3. As a self-confessed geek, whose into comics and video games, Jay prefers Marvel over DC because the characters are "already damaged." His favorite is X-Men because it tackled issues like racism before the fight against racism became a "woke" advocacy.

4. July is his sacred period, the only month in the year when he doesn't work. That's when he attends the widely popular Comic-Con event in San Diego to feed his love for all things geeky and bring out the kid in him.

5. He seeks inner peace and mental focus by practicing Jiu-Jitsu. It has done wonders for his physical health and well-being.

6. He is a true storyteller - perceptive and intuitive. He shared a bunch of great quotes and mantra with us, which he applies in his life.

To hear these quotes and to learn more of Jay's unabashed and authentic side, click on this video to watch.

-----------------------------

Before photography, Jay Tablante's career goals were focused on IT and I don't believe he'd mind if we describe him as the ultimate geek. It's this side of him that set the path to the kind of work he's most likely known for: no one does Cosplay Photography as good as Jay! 

However, he's also exceptionally good in fashion photography -- shooting lingerie models, celebrities and brands. How influential is his geeky side in his output? Does this factor into the level of execution of his work? There are plenty of good photographers in this country but Jay stands out distinctively -- does he have a formula?

Let's all find out together when he sits down with us on PARC HERE LIVE Episode #16 on October 2nd 2021.

SPECIAL EPISODE (EP15): BIEN S. BAUTISTA | "Está Muy BIEN" | Visual Artist | Pro Photographer | PH

#PROPHOTOGRAPHER #ARTIST #BIENBAUTISTA

------------------------------------------

Asking Bien Bautista to sit down with us was a shot in the dark because he's private and doesn't want the spotlight but we were thrilled that he didn't turn our invitation down. Here are seven things we learned from him: 

1. He's a humble person, a reticent individual who would rather shine inconspicuously. Despite his highbrow social circle, he is low profile. He lets his work speak for itself.

2. Though he may appear introverted, he loves to crack jokes and likes to create a fun mood.

3. He's very passionate about the craft but wouldn't want to be a associated to a certain style of photography. He likes to create something that he knows his friends and colleagues will appreciate. 

4. One of the true artists of his generation, Bien is not afraid to experiment on concepts and doesn't shy away from asking if he's curious about someone else's work. 

5. He values equal time with his family and work, especially since his wife handles the business side of photography. They bond over his wife's love for Korean movies, which has filled up their Netflix queues. This has left him no choice because he enables what his wife loves. 

6. The couple might be working on another book or exhibit from the materials he worked on during the pandemic. 

7. He approaches life, problems and relationships with a stripped-down view of the world -- not fussy and harmonious -- because life should be fun.

------------------------------------------

If you're looking for a level of greatness to aspire for, as an artist / professional photographer, I'd say that you should go for the highest standard and be like the next Bien S. Bautista. For me, he's right up there with the pillars of the creative industry. If there's such a group of "high-born" Filipino photographers, Bien would be part of it.

If you take time to browse some of his work online or purchase his photography books, then you'll understand the brilliance of his artistry. But never one for creating much buzz, noise, or controversy around his name, Bien is quite the soft-spoken, fun and funny guy in person. I thought we're going to have a hard time convincing him to sit with us for a in-depth discussion on PARC Here but he was actually game for it -- a testament to his approachable personality despite his status.

So, join us on Saturday, September 25th 2021, 8:30PM (Philippine Standard Time). It's high time we unveil who is Bien behind the camera in "Está Muy BIEN" (It's very nice).
