What netizens admire most about Alfred's photos is how stunning the output is despite not having expensive cameras or props in his shoots.

In his recent guesting in Mars Pa More, Alfred shared the ingenious process behind his pictorials and encouraged other aspiring photographers to do the same.

Here are the five steps that Alfred follows when doing photo shoots:

1. Think of an idea.

2. Find a model.

3. Prepare your props and background.

4. Let your imagination run wild.

5. Shoot away!

Alfred uses a green screen cloth or chroma cloth as background for his pictorials. This way, he can easily change the background color using a photo editing app.

During his Mars Pa More guesting, Alfred also showed how he enhances his photos.

According to him, he only does minimal modifications in his pictures, such as adjusting the light, changing the background color, and putting a bit of makeup on his model.

And of course, after editing, Alfred would share the photos on his social media for everyone to enjoy.

As a final tip, Alfred wants other photography enthusiasts to use their creativity and to not let the lack of equipment hinder them from taking good photos.

“Ang importante, may imahinasyon ka, may willing magtiwala sa vision mo, at higit sa lahat, ine-enjoy mo kung ano yung ginagawa mo.”
