This was the first ever photography contest event that I attended to shoot models and to promote a resort. There were a lot of photographers who participated in both categories; for students and amateur photographers; and for PALI (Photo Artists League of Iloilo) members and students – my category.
Here are my photos that made it to the exhibit:
Included in the top 100 photos displayed at the exhibit.
Finalist
and my winning entry…
First Place in the PALI member and students category!
This was the first photography contest that I joined,
The first time my photo was displayed to the public on a mall exhibit,
and the first time I WON!!! Yipee!
Just merely seeing my photo on an exhibit is already a big achievement! But winning the prize?? WOW!
An advice to myself and to everybody: “Just enjoy shooting. If it’s a contest don’t get pressured coz it takes the fun out of it! Just remember that what’s important is seeing your work and being happy about it. A prize is good, but what’s even better is your own fulfillment and knowing that you’ve achieved something! Just have fun and appreciate the beauty of every photograph you capture! Again, Enjoy it shutterbugs!”
Ayos ba? hehe…
I’d like to thank everyone who supported me, for the people who organized this event, those who gave advice, and those who congratulated me! Thanks much! ^_^
