The Leyte-Samar Photography Club (Leysamfoto) proudly brings in the Masters of the Masters as they host a photography seminar-workshop entitled THROUGH THE EYES OF THE MASTERS: Portraiture.


We bring in MASTER IBARRA DERI, founder of the Society of Portrait Photographers of the Philippines. A renowned portraitist, he is the first photographer to be included in Huwaran Filipino Achievement Awards’ Who’s Who in the Philippines. Deri (as he prefers to be called) started photography as a simple hobby. He has three college degrees unrelated to photography: a bachelor’s degree biological sciences, a masters degree in teaching in biological sciences, and a degree in dentistry. For love of portraiture, he founded the Society of Portrait Photographers of the Philippines. An avid magician, Deri spices up his photography lectures with magic tricks. He owns and operates three photography studios in both Metro Manila and Bicol.

He will be joined by his daughter, MS. DAIL DERI, another multi-awarded portraitist and currently an I-MAG CONTRIBUTOR. Both renowned personalities are faculty of the prestigious PHILIPPINE CENTER FOR CREATIVE IMAGING (PCCI).



The workshop will be on November 19-20, 2009 at the Asia Convention Center, Tacloban City.

This is a workshop that we, photography enthusiasts, can’t afford to miss. Make your reservations now! It doesn’t matter what kind of camera you own. Special discounts are available for students.
