In life, people and things come and go. We always grow and move forward but we won't forget things that touched us and changed us a person. There are things in the past that may have been gone now but they will always have a special place in our hearts. Whenever we remember them, we have this feeling, a mixture of sadness and comfort. It transports you back in time, reminiscing that feeling of happiness. Humans love that feeling of nostalgia, that's why we keep old stuff, a memorabilia of the past. Some call them ancient or antique, but the memories they have will always be as fresh as if it
happened yesterday. So for today's drawing challenge, i have to make a drawing of something that i miss. Last night, i was cleaning my other blog where i posted my works, from digital art, to photography, to my recent video productions. As i was reading my old posts, i remembered the years when i
started working. I really miss doing all the creative stuff we did as a team, especially the photo shoots with various themes and concepts. As a multimedia artist, I was mainly doing the post-production or editing of the final output. I also directed prenup and pre-debut videos and produced some hell of a video. We didn't have high tech equipments but we invested in our resourcefulness and creativity. As an artist, I have a thing with art direction and production design. I was very hands on in conceptualizing a shoot, from the wardrobe, to set design, to the music that will be used in the output. Some of my favorite works are the Nautical Postcards, Hollywood Posters, Vintage/Retro, Retro-Pop, and even the Butterfly-inspired prenup. Doing these works give me a sense of fulfillment especially when the couple themselves give us a positive feedback.
Going back to the drawing, I made a digital art of a vintage Pentax camera that is owned by one of our clients. We went to Isabela, Basilan to shoot a Medieval themed prenup and while waiting for the couple in their house, they showed us this precious. I really want to keep it. Instead, i just took photos of me with it. hehe. :D This image represents my old work, directing, styling and editing photos. The vintage-ness of the camera represent the different concepts and themes that we love to incorporate in our works. Nowadays, there are many professional photographers out there who i look up to. I really miss doing these stuff but life has to move on. I have to explore the world and learn more.
