Transcript

00:00 For a long time, a photo exhibit was the first of the world

00:04 of the wild bird photographers of the Philippines

00:07 where you can see the beautiful pictures of different species of birds.

00:13 Let's take a look at the exhibit. Let's watch it.

00:16 Photography is the beauty of life captured, said Tara Creson.

00:25 And this is truly seen in different genres of photography.

00:29 Portrait, landscape or wild photography.

00:33 What's different is what we're trying to capture, birds.

00:37 And that's what Mr. Ven Rojas,

00:40 the founding trustee of the Wild Bird Photographers of the Philippines, likes.

00:44 I started taking pictures of models, landscape, and then other genres.

00:51 But this is where I stayed for a long time,

00:53 at the Wild Bird Photographers of the Philippines.

00:55 Because it's like hunting also, but we don't use bullets.

01:00 We use cameras.

01:02 The Wild Bird Photographers of the Philippines started in 2012

01:07 and they have been working to raise awareness of the species of birds.

01:11 We are now able to see up to 600 species of birds in the archipelago.

01:16 But how do you capture beautiful images of the birds?

01:22 First, we undergo workshops.

01:25 We know when they are available.

01:29 Usually, early morning because they're hungry overnight.

01:34 So we as photographers should wake up earlier than them.

01:39 That's why some of the images of the birds were taken by members

01:43 of the Nandaang Photo World Asia held in Makati.

01:47 Forward Depth and Lucek Alin Pascua,

01:52 the founder of the Wild Bird Photographers of the Philippines Inc., also exhibited.

01:55 You can join.

01:57 Of course, we have to check your profile.

02:00 Because our enemy is poachers.

02:03 So what we do is we check your profile.

02:07 If we think that you're not selling,

02:10 you're not catching birds, then we will approve you.

02:14 Through wild photographers,

02:17 they will show the public that animals like birds

02:20 are free to live in a peaceful and safe place

02:24 that people can witness when they are cared for.
