smiles

I have this disagreement with Mau regarding smiles in photos. Most people kasi, may pagka-"manufactured" ang dating ng "photo face" nila. How do I explain this… hmmm… Think of it this way: Madaming sitcom sa TV ang gumagamit ng "canned laughter" tsaka "canned applause" diba? Like when you watch Friends or Will & Grace; everytime a funny situation occurs, you hear the standard laughter over the audio. It works, but it’s just not natural.

Same thing with this gripe I have with simles in photos. Some smiles just don’t seem natural. Other people though, they have their photo face perfected down to how their head is inclined and all the little details - so mukhang natural talaga yung ngiti. In most people though, I personally prefer the natural smile of the face. Yung tipong smile na nakikita mo pag naglolokohan kayong magkakaibigan, then someone cracks this hilarious joke and everyone ends up smiling and laughing. Yun, yung smiles na ganun. Yung pati yung eyes ngumingiti.

That’s very important, dapat yung eyes ngumingiti din.. ^_^ <- ganyan oh.

I suppose that’s why I prefer shooting candid, dun mo kasi nahuhuli yung natural na moments eh. Oh well, that’s just personal preference, and like I said, Mau and I don’t see eye-to-eye on that. She prefers the standard praticed smile - but to each his.her own, right?

In line with that, just to serve as filler pics for last four days na wala akong PAD posts, here are four choice portraits. (May pic ako dyan. I am NOT photogenic.)
