Visual Perspective– Photographers are the eyes of the reader and should show them things they may not be able to see for themselves. In other words, a unique visual approach.

And that’s exactly what happened here. As I was shooting during the weekend, with my wife and friends…I thought i was the only one who captured the moment of a father taking care of his child. My viewpoint was very limited and i concentrated on capturing the bond between the father and baby. The moment gave me a feeling of warmth and it got me so excited that I forgot to look beyond the two subjects. I was oblivious to my fellow shooting buddies who managed to take notice of the moment and was shooting from their own unique perspectives. My wife Venus manged to capture a more comprehensive story of a whole family as they go about their daily life…living on the streets of Manila.
