365: Ervic Aquino

After deciding to write an article about Ervic Aquino's 365, I thought I did not have enough information about him and his project on his flickr account; so I asked him to tell me what he could/wanted to say about this project. And Ervic sent me this huge e-mail! Before even reading it I could see he his passionate about photography and this project in particular.

Ervic Aquino has started this project because he was wishing to get out of a rut, he wanted to make experiments and try new things, which he could not do during his paid shoots.
I can say with no doubt he is a perfectionist, as he admits he puts a lot of pressure on himself, always expecting the next photo to be better, keeping trying a technique until he fully masters it.

This project is mainly a family project, most photos include Ervic's children. They are active contributors to the quality of this 365, always making nice faces! It is great to have the support of your relatives, it is even better to have them involved in your projects.

Day Two Hundred Thirteen: Public Craziness [Explored] 213/365 Jan, 14, 2010  After picking up the kids from school we headed out to the marina for some quick shots. It was finally a warm day and the sun was shining so I really wanted to do some outside shooting. There were a lot of shady characters walking around and Elizabeth was definitely on the lookout. Brandon and Sofia dont really care and have a tendency to act anyway they want to regardless of whos watching.  <b>Strobist</b> Dynalite Uni400jr. with beauty dish camera left

Day Two Hundred Thirty-nine: Cooking With Fia 239/365 Feb 9, 2011  Not much going on today. We had planned to do a follow-up to yesterdays shot where the kids would be doing some crazy wrestling poses but Brandon couldnt find his wrestling mask. Instead Sofia found Brandons old chef costume and she started to play cooking show host.  <b>Strobist</b> 580EXII in shoot through umbrella camera left Lumopro LP160 in brolly softbox camera right aimed at chromakey backround Background removed in post and replaced with radial gradient

Day Two Hundred Fifty-six: Snow Disappointed 256/365 Feb 26, 2011  Weve been anticipating a snow fall in the Bay Area for the past couple of days. All signs pointed to a possibility and weather.com had it in its forecast. The kids were all excited and it would have been the first time that Sofia has ever played in the snow. Unfortunately it just wasnt meant to be as the sun came out shining to give us a beautiful day.  <b>Strobist</b> Dynalite Uni400jr. in socked beauty dish camera left powered by Vagabond Mini Canon EOS 5D Mark II | 15mm | 1/200 | ƒ14 | ISO 100

Day Two Hundred Fifty-nine: "Leave Me Alone" 260/365 Mar 1, 2011  Nobody wanted to take a picture today so I just set up a single chair and told Elizabeth to just sit on it. I took a bunch of shots and that was it.  <b>Strobist</b> 580EXII w/ grid high side left Lumopro LP160 bare side right
