Ginebra San Miguel

2021 Ginebra Calendar

Despite the challenges shooting during a pandemic, this was certainly a project we were excited for. This calendar was done during the height of the restrictions, so you can imagine the hoops we had to jump to finish the shoot well within time. Good thing Christelle was such a trooper throughout the entire day. Production Credits Client: Ginebra San MiguelAgency: Dentsu One ManilaProduction House: Edge of LightPhotography: Jay Tablante

Demo Reel 2021

https://youtu.be/wd5AMz2LMPg Since lockdown started, we've somehow learned to work around the limbo that was 2020. Even if we've had to shoot from home for a time, we've discovered new ways to stay busy and persistently creative while staying connected. There's always a silver lining through all of this and with safety protocols and mandatory swab tests in place, we in Point Blank are very much grateful to be able to still do what we love doing and that is making great quality eye popping content for all of you. It's just a matter of time (and patience!) before we get…

We Shoot Food!

Visuals are the first and foremost gateway in getting people's attention. No matter how much you claim the food is good, unfortunately people can't smell or lick off their monitors. But they can see it though. When you have good images, that's more than half of the sales pitch. It makes your customers' mouth water. They pick up their phones and call in the nearest Grab / Food Panda or any delivery. You get your sale. Rinse and repeat. A good image is the gift that keeps on giving... when you invest in them well. Book us and make sure…

Promil

Some previous work we found and just thought of posting just for the sake of posterity. And yes so you guys can see how our typical day is like shooting for clients. Though there is some sort of familiarity in advertising projects, each shoot still presents some unique challenges. Like... shooting with kids. For one, government law mandates kids can only work for four (4) hours per shooting day. Mind you, this was still before the pandemic. Today's requirements are way stricter to implement. https://youtu.be/wFW9vfW03Hs Production Credits: Client: Wyeth PhilippinesAgency: Campaigns & GreyPhotographer: Jay Tablante

Botanika

As the city tightens up, space is indeed becoming a new luxury. New living spaces have been sprawling up outwards of Metro Manila just to have a glimpse of greenery in the mornings. We had this amazing opportunity to work on this project to show how space can change the way to experience our lives. We don't need to cram ourselves within Metro Manila if we can.

Happy 2021!

For some, 2020 was a big blur that began in March and zipped right unto the Christmas season. For most of us, it was a very inconvenient truth that we all had to swallow with businesses closing left and right, working and shooting from home and strict adherence to lockdown rules and curfews among so many other disappointments. And yet for others, it’s been a nightmare year marked by tragedy and loss. But no matter what, the past year has forced us to reflect on and evaluate what truly matters, work with the resources at hand, seek alternative means of…

Shooting from home

It would probably take a longer while before a vaccine for covid is finally discovered. And until that time comes, we have to make do and actually learn to live with this virus. It’s during unprecedented times like these that we are compelled to add not just one or two additional hats to the ones that we are already wearing. As we are forced to isolate and shoot from our homes, we as photographers aren’t just tasked to capture images but to style them as well. My few years studying to be a chef combined with the work that I’ve…

Nescafe

Quite the interesting project to do with one of the known brands in coffee. We had the chance to fly to Bukidnon and do this shoot with legit coffee farmers. Mindanao is such an amazing place to visit. On the way to the venue it was nothing but lush mountains and farm lands.
