WELCOME TO MY LIFE .

I am an artist . I breathe ART...
There is a misconception that a photographer is automatically an artist.
NOPE. It's not true...photography is a medium just like a canvass to a painter and fabric to a fashion designer...Not all who photographs are artists and not all artists are photographers...

In my case I am both. I am an artist,and photography is my medium to express my art..hence I'm a photographer as well..combined with my knowledge in ART softwares I am a digital artist too...I also express art through my words, that is why YOU have a blog that YOU are reading now that tickles your imagination...:)

Here are a few of my works I did last JULY 2011 that I want to share to YOU all my dear readers.My model is Chantelle Jacobs, You'd be surprised to know that she is not a she, in fact she is a HE.He is a dead ringer for Naomi Campbell ain't she?he?haha.
I am also a model aside fromm being a visual artist&actor that's why I know alot about camera posing & projection too...:P

I did the styling for this to make him look like a top supermodel..:).Since fashion styling is also my medium of ART.

Do not miss this LIMITED CHANCE for YOU to be...SIMPLY GORGEOUS.

well, as you may already know i am an artist/photographer and i spearhead
BGLAM PROJECT. a project aiming to showcase the beauty of people in all ages, color, size,shape, culture ....making people feel more confident about themselves and realising that all people are made beautifully by God..

here are some pics from the event.
almost 100 people joined this event...
complete list at my fb acct (princetamiballesteros@yahoo.com)

you dont need to be a model to have these kinds of photos. WE guarantee we can glam up even a potato.that's why we are no.1. :)

We have made a lot of people feel better about themselves...

B GLAM PROJECT PHOTOSHOOT IS A PROJECT BORN OUT OF MY ULTIMATE PASSION

TO BRING OUT THE BEST AND CONFIDENCE IN PEOPLE THROUGH MY ART & PHOTOGRAPHY..

I WAS ONCE A VERY SHY AND NOT SO CONFIDENT YOUNG BOY.I WAS AN PIMPLY KID AND UGLY DUCK.

I THOUGHT THAT THE ONLY HAPPY PEOPLE ARE THE BEAUTIFUL ONES I SEE ON TV AND THE PAGES OF MAGAZINES.

THEN I GREW UP AND MATURED. I REALIZED THAT THE ONLY TIME PEOPLE WILL SEE THE BEAUTY IN YOU

IS WHEN YOU START BELIEVING IN URSELF. COZ THERE IS NO PERFECT STANDARD OR PROPORTION FOR BEAUTY.

NOR A PERFECT AGE,RACE ,RELIGION OR CULTURE. EVERYONE IS BLESSED WITH BEAUTY..

IT JUST TAKES THAT CERTAIN PUSH.MAYBE FROM URSELF AND SOMETIMES FROM OTHER PEOPLE.

I BELIEVE EVERY1 IS BEAUTIFUL.I AM JUST AN INSTRUMENT OF THE ONE UP ABOVE TO BRING IT OUT IN PEOPLE.

REAL BEAUTY IS NOT ONLY SUPERFICIAL. BUT WHEN YOU KNOW DEEP INSIDE OF YOU THAT

YOU HAVE LIVED YOUR LIFE TOTHE FULLEST WITHOUT STEPPING ON ANYONES'S TOES...YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL.

A GRANDMOTHER FULL OF WRINKLES TAKING CARE OF HER GRANDCHILD

IS FAR MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN A YOUNG WOMAN ADORNED WITH ALL JEWELRIES AND GREAT CLOTHES BUT WITH WICKED VALUES

THE LAUGH OF AN INNOCENT CHILD,THEJOKES OF OUR FRIENDS,THE MOMENTS WITH OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS , THE DANCE OF LOVER'S IN LOVE, THE TRIUMPHANT CRY OF A WINNER

THE SIGHT OF OUR LOVED ONES...AND SO MUCH MORE ARE JUST EXAMPLE OF SIMPLE THINGS WE TAKE FOR GRANTED BUT INDEED BEAUTIFUL....

SO WHAT'S MY POINT?

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. IT WOULD BE NICE IF YOU HAVE NICE FASHION AND STYLE TO ADORN YOU.

BUT THE BEST ADORNMENT OF ALL IS THE PEACE AND LOVE IN YOUR HEART...

B GLAM PROJECT -NOT JUST UR ORDINARY PHOTOSHOOT

BEACAUSE IT IS THE CUMULATION OF ALL MY BELIEFS AND VALUES

IT IS A REFLECTION OF MY LOVE TO PEOPLE.

IT IS THE YOUNG BOY WHO WAS ONCE A SUBJECT OF RIDICULE.

BUT ROSE UP BECAUSE HE KNEW HOW TO FIGHT FAIR AND HAD THE CONFIDENCE TO BELIEVE IN HIMSELF.

IT IS YOU RISING UP AND BELIEVING YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT.

SO B GLAM.

I love life and the gifts God gave to me such as my nephew Max and my 2 dogs.
They are my source of positivity. Because children are so innocent and they forgive easily, and dogs are always in a happy mood! especially if you give them food! Enjoy their pix!

Ever heard of a sari sari store?
I'm sure you did if you are a filipino. but how about a Sari Sari Store man? When I went to Tomas Morato in Quezon City, We chanced upon this weird looking man, at first I thought he was crazy... wearing all sorts of stuff on his body. Then i realized, he is a vendor of different things. I found him cool coz he thought of an innovative way to sell his products. Now that's what I call great marketing!!!

the pic above is a typical sari sari store

After being outcasted from the recent Miss Universe 2009, I think It's about time to show the rest of the world that beauty comes in different colors...that's why, I photographed a very lovely girl from the Philippines, to show the Universe that it's not only girls who have blue eyes and blond hair that's beautiful.Enjoy my Photography:

That's my philosphy in capturing images of people as a visual artist/photographer...I want them to appreciate their bodies, and think to themselves that they are unique,beautiful, fantastic , great artworks of God.
Eversince I was a kid, I always wanna capture the beautiful things in all kinds of situation...that's why I love art..it makes my imagination run free...and there is a quote by Napoleon Bonaparte that i live my life with....

"Imagination rules the world"

Imagine a life of goodness , peace and love.Have a great day everyone.
