On our way to a beach in Zambales, I decided to document some of the penitent pilgrims we encountered Good Friday 2011.

Note: I'm so surprised at how much I missed photography for the sake of photography. While I haven't been updating the Skyefire page recently, we have been fortunate to keep ourselves busy with so much commissioned work in the past few months.

Some of my choice pics from the Quest Crew concert in Eastwood City where my little girl, Skye, was privileged enough to meet her dance idols.

All the thanks and love to our new friends Guia, Celine, Oscar, Zarah, and Gelo without whom we wouldn't have been able to watch. Front-row VIP seats from people we just met in line. Woot-woot!

Low-res photos uploaded. Guys, text me if you want a cd of the high-res photos.

Helped some cosplay friends out with their "Paradise Kiss" Concept Shoot. We had to employ guerrilla tactics since we didn't have a permit and the pink and blue wigs definitely attracted the attention of the guards. It was a cloudy day and I definitely needed my lights but could not use them.

Chose not to process the photos to capture the rawness of the guerilla take.

The Dawn

Absolutely No Post-Processing due to laziness. Hehe.

Here's the official Skyefire Coverage of the Tanduay Rockfest 2010. I had to pop in and out of the concert grounds to feed and water myself. Was tempted to start swigging all the free-flowing alcohol but then remembered that I need to be a sober photographer. Amazing line-up. Brought back so many memories.

I love the challenge of shooting concerts.

Thanks to Arthur "Omegatron" Gimena for the Media Pass.

Another Baby Photoshoot. Here are some photos from the Homeservice Portraiture session we did for Abby and Gelo. I especially like the "Ate and Little One" poses to which the only direction I had to give them was "O, closer to each other".

You can contact us via Facebook or our email addresses to schedule your own Homeservice Portraiture session.

Thanks guys!

Here are some pictures from Alexa's amazing 1st Birthday. Fruits of all the hardwork put in by both Mommy Marj and Daddy John.

A very cute and precocious baby. Skyefire is happy to cover your day, Alexa!
