The young photographer's work impressed me. He has a good eye for composition.

The young photographer's work.

Looking at the displayed images at the children’s mini photo exhibit at Fort San Pedro last weekend, two images struck me: a photo of a flower against the sky and the façade of the old cuartel inside the fort.

Composition and framing was quite good considering that these are kids 13 years old and below with no photography training who joined a two day workshop. When I asked who the young photographers are, I was told that it belonged to one boy: Gabriel Lumbab, 12 years old. I was almost speechless! What shocked me more was when Lorens, one of the mentor-photographers, told me that Gabriel only attended the practical part (second day).

This kid has a natural eye for good images. The two complex photos demonstrate his grasp for balance and what is considered good composition. If this talent is nurtured, he will reach great heights.
