Magazine cover
My first article for BluPrint magazine’s April 2011 issue is now out in bookstores and magazine stands!
A few months ago, I was asked to photograph this beautiful resort in Mactan Island, Cebu but eventually, I was asked to write the article too. With trepidation, I accepted. I should confess, I don’t have a background in architecture except that I do architectural photography with some books credited to me and articles too in this magazine. But write?
Okay, I was a bit anxious at first but eventually, I was able to assemble a couple of paragraphs, almost a thousand word article. I did some research, read BluPrint’s writing style and the result? My editor, Judith Torres emailed:
First pass… I like it.
Whew! It got only a few edits and some minor clarifications. And I was greatly relieved. Check the magazine out. This is also my first assignment to do architectural shots of a modern structure (I focus on heritage buildings like Filipino baroque churches and houses). More please.
