Lovingly...KHARU Photo Gallery by Manuel Libres Librodo Jr. at pbase.com

Lovingly...KHARU

Kharu is not just an ordinary model. She is a "model" model.
In all of my works with her, she brought in a lot.
Her Passion. Her Soul. Her Love.
Thanks Kharu...

This gallery includes all of my works of Kharu from June to August 2007:
Photos I took of her in my 8 Workshops in the Philippines and 1 in Kuala Lumpur.
Thanks to all of my participants. And thanks to the stylist: Kharu herself!

Salamat Al and Mommy.

AND PLEASE COME BACK FOR MORE AS THIS WILL BE UPDATED REGULARLY.
I have thousands and thousands of shots....

Hi Manny. Such a MAGNIFICENT gallery !!!! You and Kharu make us Filipinos prouder to be Filipinos because with have "kababayans" like you who are so talented in what you do and do what you do best with a lot of passion pa :) It's not only Kharu who is perfect but you are too :) I think Kharu shines more when she is photographed by you - that's what you call a perfect combination. Thank you for sharing these images with all of us.

Eric Rosales		18-Oct-2007 04:58
Manny, Thank you for sending a note about the new gallery. I found it interesting to see the stark contrast between Kharu in a dumpsite and she in a more pleasant location and light. Compared to other photos of Kharu tho, I personally prefer the more natural look she had in your first few shoots with her. That said, I think you're an incredible artist that gives one more reason to be proud to come from the same country -- the Philippines!!!

Guest		18-Oct-2007 01:30
