STUCK IN A TRAFFIC JAM

I was so pissed off with the traffic as we (my friends) were about to go to our offices . Because there is no cab available, we need to walk from Kapitolyo, Pasig to Escriva. Whew! As the pearl of sweats cascading down my forehead, cheeks and all over my body, my eyebrows furrowed. We just got a cab near our office. Whatta day!!!

FEATURED PHOTOGRAPHER: SEVEN BARRETTO

SEVEN BARRETTO
THE CAM ADDICT
by MARK PILLOS


At the age of 21, Seven Barretto has had worked for many prestigious magazines in the Philippines like Mega. He claims that this is his biggest achievement so far which is beyond any question.

He was born on the 24th of July in Sta. Cruz, Marinduque.

This cam addict guy has never bump off his passion for photography because this is like the air that he respires and the water that he boozes. He said that his secret for his unflawed works are drawing inspirations from the talented people around him, that every shoot should be a team effort.

This young photographer, who draws happiness from his shoots, stressed that “It’s important that everyone is inspired with each other to have a great output.” (smiled).

This cam addict guy has never bump off his passion for photography because this is like the air that he respires and the water that he boozes.

Freelance fashion photographer Seven Barretto is hoping that one day he can have any Vogue magazine projects. Well, that is not far from reality because as early as now, and as young as he is, he is already having gargantuan projects from various magazines in the Philippines.

He describes himself simple yet I think that is contrary to what he really is, considering how he can capture the panoramic angle of every shot. Not to forget how he discloses every lulu of models for magazines.

He did not recount much of his life (when I asked him) but his photos ooze with who he really is. Look at how he unleashed the depths of his endowment:
