Nothing’s Sweeter Than Being Chosen

A few months ago, Marley Reyes (1/3 of the awesome Mad Minds Team) got word from her close friend, Mike, about his class’ graduation shoot and how we were being considered for the project. At first, I was really doubtful about bagging it because of our relative inexperience with portraits and studio work. Our lack of lighting equipment didn’t help ease my worries too. Call me a Doubting Thomas but I really didn't think we would be considered for this kind of project.

A couple of months later, Marley told Marvin Gonzales (another 1/3 of the aforementioned awesome Mad Minds Team and her cheesy better half) and I that Mike’s class needed sample photos first before they could give a go signal for us or they’re taking another team for the project. Since we all had day jobs to consider, time was against us in organizing and fulfilling the requirements needed by Mike and his class.

Guess what, though? We bagged the job!

First and foremost, the team and I would like to thank the Big Guy up there. This project wouldn’t be possible without your divine providence. Second, we’d like to thank Mike and his class’ organizing committee for placing their trust in Mad Minds Photography. Last, but definitely not the last, we’d like to thank the Big Bang Studio for letting us goof around at their place and assisting us with the equipment needed for the shoot.

Wish us luck because the project’s kinda big. For now, here are some creative photos from last Friday’s shoot.

Yes, I work with these two.
