Some things you need to know...

  1. Hello, I'm eightren! I do photography as a hobby. You might find it hard to schedule a shoot with me as I usually only have the weekends as my free time.
  2. I live in Santa Rosa, Laguna. Way way south. I can go up to Quezon City but that might be my limit.
  3. When inviting multiple photographers in a shoot, more does not always mean better! Sometimes having less or even just one photographer may make a photoshoot go smoother and outputs to become more consistent!

Frequently Asked Questions!

Do you accept photoshoot commissions in cosplay conventions?

Usually, no. There are times when I am available, I will be posting my schedule on my Facebook page. When I do not have an open photoshoot commission at a convention, I will be roaming around taking pictures for free.

Do you have an editing commission?

No, I only edit the photos I shot.

Are you open for collaborations/ex-deal?

I am open to Collaborations/ex-deal. Please message me on my page to discuss the details. I will most likely accept if:

  • I know you
  • You have a decent concept in mind
  • You have a proven track record of good quality works
  • You have a well-planned and well-coordinated moodboard
  • You are easy to talk to
  • You are responsible enough to handle managing things on your side

What is an ex-deal?

Ex-deal (or exchange-deal) is when we collaborate for free (meaning you do not pay me for my services, and I do not pay for your costume/time/talent)

We may talk about how to split bills for studio/food/etc. but that should be separate from our deal.

Do you do photography workshops?

No.

Can I repost your photos?

Sure! Just don’t forget to credit me as the photographer when you repost 🙂

Am I allowed to sell photos of myself shot by you?

If non-commercial, no. If commercial and ex-deal, yes.

Can I edit your photos of myself?

Yes, but please indicate it in your caption that you have edited the photo.

Why did you not post my photos on your page?

I reserve the right to choose what to upload on my page.

Can I ask for photos that are not me?

No, I will only give the photos if it’s a photo of you.

How do you execute your style of shooting?

I follow standard guidelines in photography. Study how your camera works and practice framing of your subject.

I find it hard to approach you. Why do you look angry or annoyed?

I have to apologize, that’s my default resting bitch face. I have crippling anxiety when talking to new people. (Please talk to me). You may approach me and introduce yourself so I know what to expect.

Do you have a discord server?

I usually hang out at https://discord.gg/Q696qCdyHE

Can I edit your photos? Do I need to ask permission?

Yes, you can edit/photomanipulate my photos. You do not need my permission, however you might want to check with the cosplayer if they will allow you. If you will post your work, please indicate what edits you have done with the shot. We need to distinguish where my work ends and where yours start. Please also include all of the credits I have provided with the original shot with yours.
