First Place winners of Batch 15 2009: Razel and Joseph Dioko of Antipolo City, Rizal.
They’re a husband-and-wife team and they’re inseparable (they even look alike!); both attended Batch 15 of the FPPF Basic Photography workshop, Saturday class, and both emerged as First Prize winners in the photo contest for the batch. Razel Dioko’s 8×10 print was a photo of their beautiful daughter whose eyes simply get you when you look at it, while Joseph Dioko’s entry was a nuts-and-bolts photo (literally) whose simplicity won the judges’ nod because of its technical merit and the way the hardware was rendered as a three-dimensional object on two-dimensional paper. Lighting was perfect too.
