The Center for Culture and Arts Development of the Governor’s Office of Bohol conducted the Portraiture Workshop for a Cause on September 21, 2013 at the JJs Seafood Village. The workshop was conducted by Canada based Bol-anon Photographer, Mr. Dennis Sapong. There were about 50 participants composed of professional photographers, hobbyists and beginners.
Sapong was assisted by veteran photographers Judd Gisete, Glenn Gamayot, Chris Ramasola, Noel Sand Andres and Sherwin Sapong. The workshop focused on portrait photography and detailed the need for proper lighting, options for poses of the subject and the photographer-subject relationship which is important to capture not only the image but also the experience.
The attendees were then allowed to practice their new knowledge and skills in portrait photography in a mock-up studio at the venue. The organizers hired local personalities Sheh Balag, Alma Golosino, Euben Gamutan, Erika Karcher and Jhusica Villaflores as models. The setup was varied to demonstrate various lighting options and the attendees were coached on how to conduct the photo session.
The GO-CCAD is headed by Mrs. Enriqueta B. Butalid.
