00:00 While Mama Shal is walking, maybe someone will ask you how much your outfit is.
00:05 Maybe it's him!
00:07 He's the content creator and street photographer, Elijah Calara,
00:11 who has almost 200,000 followers on TikTok.
00:14 And we'll be with him today.
00:16 Good morning, Elijah, and welcome to Rise and Shine Philippines.
00:19 Good morning, ma'am.
00:22 Hi, Elijah. This is Profi together with She.
00:26 We want to know how you started making content on your TikTok account.
00:31 And who thought of asking the price of OOTD before you took a picture of a random person you met?
00:40 So before I became a content creator, I was a freelancer before.
00:46 I was a photo and videographer.
00:48 Then back in 2019, my passion for taking videos and photos became my passion.
00:54 So I tried to make stranger photoshoots until they continued.
00:58 And as for content, I watched some international content.
01:04 And I saw that there's nothing like it here in the Philippines.
01:07 So I tried it.
01:09 And I'm thankful that most of the things I upload really boom.
01:16 Okay, after you asked them how much their outfit is, you took a photo.
01:22 Did you study to take a photo or was it just self-study?
01:26 Actually, I studied and at the same time, I was self-studying.
01:33 Because I learned from my fellow freelancers when I was just starting.
01:40 And also, to add more knowledge, I really searched on the internet
01:45 on the basics, the techniques when it comes to shooting.
01:51 Elijah, aside from viral TikTok content, you also vlog.
01:57 You have a YouTube channel and usually, you spend the night in one place.
02:03 Like your other video, you spent the night in a haunted place.
02:07 Why did you choose to vlog?
02:10 I love to vlog about historic places, haunted places, and explore beautiful places.
02:20 Because of this, I can share the history of the places we visited.
02:25 I can show the beauty of the place through vlog.
02:28 And I can promote the tourism of the specific place.
02:32 Wow, that's amazing.
02:34 Aside from making content online, what else are you doing now?
02:40 Are you still studying or working?
02:42 I'm graduating.
02:44 Wow, that's amazing.
02:46 What's your course, Elijah?
02:48 I'm a tourism student.
02:50 Okay.
02:51 Where are you from, Elijah?
02:53 I'm from Baguio.
02:56 He's from Baguio.
02:57 Because of his video, I went to Session Road and I saw him before.
03:02 Where in Baguio?
03:03 Here in Loakan.
03:06 Loakan.
03:07 It's a bit far from us.
03:08 We're in Upper Quarries and in Bacaking.
03:11 I hope when you were there, he asked you about your OOTD.
03:14 I won't say it again, Ukay.
03:16 Because it's popular in Baguio.
03:18 Correct.
03:19 There's a night market there.
03:20 It's really cheap.
03:21 That's my type.
03:22 Elijah, congratulations.
03:24 You're graduating.
03:26 I hope I can meet you soon so you can ask me about my OOTD and take a picture of me.
03:30 We want to know, of course, Elijah and our RSP, where else can they see you?
03:37 Please invite them to check out your social media accounts.
