An Apple and Cheese Photography Project: Lito Sy in Los Angeles, it's a WRAP!!

The much anticipated Lito Sy's Workshop was finally held last weekend at the Olympic Collection in West Hollywood, CA. The two day workshop includes an outdoor and indoor shoot out combined with post processing techniques. The Master Photographer also shared his secrets on capturing moments and turning ordinary images to award winning master pieces. It was indeed a great experience for everyone who attended.


On behalf of Apple & Cheese Photography, thank you to all the participants; to our Models, Sabrina, Tamara, Jonathan, Kim, Zach and Maia, to Lou Razon for providing georgous bridal gowns, to our MUA Conrad, Joel Sebastian, Rod Alcover and to Lito Sy for sharing his 20 years of experience. We sure did learn a lot from the workshop. A real Experience. Here are some of the images taken by the participants at the workshop. (too much "awesomeness!!" here...we have to post batch 2 in the upcoming days!!)

Our Twilight Saga Experience

We got a phone call this weekend and we all got excited, Why? cos we will do a quick photoshoot of this famous actor who starred in the Twilight series... nope its not Edward...but rather Bella's Dad, Charlie.. He was also in the movie Fracture along side Anthony Hopkins, Untraceable, 24 and recently New Moon. So we packed light and just drove around the Hollywood area. Knock on his door and he welcomed us with a warm smile... He was very nice and very accommodating. The session went well and everybody was happy....another day in Hollywood:) (images below)
