Carlo Gabuco portrait

From Paete I visited an old friend in Manila. It was a 3 hours-plus bus ride and I wanted to travel light so I just brought my Olympus Pen EP5 and the MZ 17mm f1.8. I was trying to use the on camera flash but it wouldn't fire on this particular shot and was significantly under exposed. So I did my GIMP post production work to bring it back. I think the result was rather unique. Carlo Gabuco is an amazing painter and photographer. He is also one of the recipiants of the Thirtteen Artists Awards, TAA at the Culture Center of the Philippines, CCP in Manila.
