One of the more interesting experiences I had with client work lately was shooting candids around a school. I was commissioned by Nexus International School to take photos of their students in action to use for their website. It was almost like shooting street, but done inside the campus.
The brief was that for the whole day, I would be walking around campus taking photos of the students doing their thing. It started with the head of school announcing to the students in the morning assembly that a photographer will be walking around to take photos. He points at me… I wave. And for the next 8 hours, with the help of Mun, I hopped from one class to another, taking photos of students in class. They were pretty cool about it. Some were shy, but most were pleasantly casual and even welcomed it, especially the little ones. I remember we visited the same class later in the afternoon and one kid shouted “hey, it’s you again!”
This whole assignment was a bit nostalgic for me as I can’t help but reminisce my times back when I was in school. But I don’t remember it to be this fun though.
Overall, the kids had fun doing their thing, and I had fun photographing them. It was a great shoot. Shout out to Mun for contacting me for this job, and for helping me out throughout the shoot. Big big thanks, Mun… you’re awesome!
Great work bro.
Awesome work as usual! Great mix & balance of colours, ligths, backgrounds and race.
Very well captured moments. Some photos look like stills from a movie.
Awesome work kabayan! Best regards.

Hi Danny,
It’s so great to see you entrusted with bigger and bigger responsibility jobs and gigs…not easy filming a bunch of kids and that you were asked — that the finger was pointed at you, the “dedo” — means that you’re very mainstream now. It’s so great to have followed you and charted your rise.
Color correction here has been sensational and the sharpness of the middle snaps — especially those were the kids are sitting there and contemplating ideas or problem-solving — are particularly special. I can see those various snaps actually becoming Cover Images for someone’s Facebook page or the banner shots for a YouTube channel.
You have been given the gift, and are using it so well, my man…
Your big fans up here in Toronto,
ADM
Excellent work, really crisp images love it
Hi, may I know what is the lens you used for these series? Thanks!
I used the following lenses: 85mm f1.4, 50mm f1.4, and 24mm f1.4 … hope this helps.
Hi Danny! Was it all shoot with natural light? I’m about to do a project with a similar brief, and I’m a bit hesitant about working with natural light only, since the classrooms might not be well lit, can you give me any tip? Thank you! Excelent work, greetings from México.
hi Danny, Fabulous job. I am regular visitor of your site.. Do you still use D300s ?
Thank you, Ravikumar! For this job, I used a combination of a D700 (rented) and my D300.
