An exciting assignment to Philippine’s SunXi resort!

Filed Under (Commercial Photography, For Photographers, General, Other) by Max Lim on 03-06-2008

We were hired to shoot in Philippine for a holiday resort during February.  We went to a few places including Cebu, Manila & Clark Field.  The environment there are more or less the same as Malaysia.

Our client is an international banker, who happens to married a Filipino wife and they built a mansion on top the hill in Cebu, one of the largest island in the Philippine.  It takes about 4hours to travel from Cebu airport to the resort via the resort only shutter service, a Kia 4WD truck.

We were also invited to trek into the local ‘padi’ field.  Thank to the muddy ground, our shoe were all wet and soaked.  Here you can experience the farmer’s life.

The local children were very excited when we visited!  They hardly see any outsiders, especially chinese.

The local cab, its basically a bike, with oversize cabin.  You often can see them overloaded with 12-15 people per cab, serious.  For some reason, they also happened to installed the loudest speakers I ever heard in Philippine.

We also experienced one of the most beautiful sunset there by the beach; reddish sky with crystal clear water!

We were also invited to shoot for the resort’s yacht, parked at a yacht club near Manila.  Wonderful weather during the shoot, really blue sky!

We went for a week for the assignment, and we had great fun!  If you are interested on the resort, feel free to visit their official website here.
