My first time to share behind-the-camera vid when shooting Mood with G97 and Godox iT32.
The idea was simple. I just didn’t want to carry a lot. LUMIX G97 is lightweight, though not really compact but it adds almost nothing to my backpack. Then paired it with another compact form - the LUMIX 15/1.7 Leica branded lens. To add some light, I still didn’t want to be bothered with heavy stuff so I left my AD 100Pro and packed my Godox iT32 with X5 camera-mountable remote trigger.
The rooftop was just in my apartment building - easy access. The shoot was fun. Had drinks and chat, photos turned out beyond expectations. (Of course they were post-edited.)
LUMIX colors are just so fun to play with whether RAW or JPG. These were edited from RAW.
What LUMIX does for me best and why I have been sticking to this is simply because it’s Micro 4/3 system is so convenient. Despite a very small sensors size, I still can pull out a cinematic shot. Luck and persistence and diskarte lang.
Summing up with everything, I remember one very particular quote from our culture, “Ma-diskarte talaga ang mga Pinoy”

Shanghai rooftops can either be breathtaking or just plain simple… That all depends…

Song of the Flower
- The model is a music major. We intend to create a photo having a kind of surreal feel showing movement. The flower was coiled with LED lights. Long shutter experiment with LUMIX G97 (5 seconds) and using Godox iT32 with X5 remote trigger, I fired off-cam flash twice, creating an after-image. The gesture as if she was singing - The Song of the Flower.

How do I look?
This series of photos are not composite. They’re all shot as single frame using long exposure of about 8~10 seconds. Using the Godox iT32 off-camera and X50 trigger, I was able to fire the flash in the proper angle and placing to create this multiple-exposure effect showing motion as she walks forward and takes out her mirror to check on herself. How do I look?
Capturing the moment as it happens. Mono no aware.
