Sir Nathaniel Salang, please introduce yourself? What is your background? How did you got started on photography?
Nathaniel Salang
Background: I studied Philosophy at UP. I started out as a copywriter for a PR firm.
After that, my firends and I formed a Promotions and Events management company
In my PR and...., I was able to work with professional photographers.
When we were doing events, we worked with lots of female models.... these models submitted photos to us when they were applying for jobs. Many of the models were rejected outright because hey gave poor photos, even if they looked really good in person.
I decided that presenting good photos to my clients (decision makers) was key to making my life easier.
Just in time, somebody "pawned" his flim slr... very timely....I decided to study photography so i myself could be the one to take the pictures of models...... good photos ---> more models would get invited to interviews ----> less effort for me...
that's how it started.
NEXT.
I bought the film slr that was "pawned" to me, by the way... and I used it when I was studying photography
It was a Minolta 5xi
