Guy From The Philippines Throws His Siblings And Cousins A Low Budget Photoshoot, And The Results Look Amazing
Cijan Cimagala from the Philippines has proved that you don't need expensive gear to produce beautiful pictures. The resourceful photography enthusiast threw a low budget photoshoot using only ordinary household items, and got such amazing images, they're going viral all over the Internet.
To show just how much Cijan has achieved with the limited resources he had, we've decided to present his pictures along with behind-the-scenes shots of the whole process. Let this be a reminder to you all: stop making excuses. Look for opportunities.

"I got interested in photography when I was 14 years old," Cijan told Bored Panda. "To this day, I love taking pictures even though I don't have a quality camera and the one on my phone isn't so good, too."
He uses the Oppo A3s, a 2018 phone with a dual lens (13 MP, f/2.2 and 2 MP, f/2.4) camera.
The models in the photos are Cijan's siblings and cousins. "Creating our low budget photoshoot, we worked only inside our home, so I struggled a bit with lighting. I had to improvise solutions since I don't have any photography equipment."
The crafty fella edited the photos on his phone as well. "I used PicsArt and Lightroom apps because they're free on the Google Play store," Cijan said, adding that he doesn't have a computer where post-production would be easier. Just imagine what he could achieve with a proper setup.
He is really talented.. Imagine if he had better sources what he could do..
OMG!!! THIS looks as GREAT as any fashion magazine ad!
Beautiful child. Perhaps a bit too seductive for her age.
That's what photography is all about. Interesting times we're living in, when people suddenly found out it doesn't have to be expensive to be good. Plus. What's really low budget? What's low for you could be high for us. Globalize yourselves, pop out of your bubble and see that there's more beyond your ever shrinking horizon.

I may pass for a prude, but even if the technique is impressive, there's some of those that are a bit unsettling. Children posing as sexy grown up women is not OK in my book...
This guy has amazing talent! I wonder what else he can do?

Jasmine > Sorry if my comment was not clear, English is not my native language. And I meant to say exactly what you say : making little girl pose as sexy grown up is wrong in my opinion. Let kids be kids, make funny picture, or cute one. But not pictures were a little girl is half naked and hide her (non existent) breasts with tree leaves...

It’s only sexual if you make it sexual. I have a daughter and saw nothing wrong with these images. Children are completely innocent and oblivious to this. Shoot the pedophile, not the child.
I disagree. Posing children in provocative ways influences the way they see themselves. It makes them believe that appearing seductive is normal. Even with all of the awareness of predation we have, a child's self image can either help them become independent and creative or, on the other hand, make them vulnerable to predation. Further, once they hit puberty, it can lead to eating disorders, because they no longer have the svelte figures they had when sexualized at such a young age. Children do have sexual feelings which should be handled in a healthy way.
For most people, we don't want to see a young teen that way, even if it's in the middle ground of sexual and not sexual. Any hint of seductiveness in a photo of a child makes most people uncomfortable and it should. Plus, he put these photos on the internet where there are pedophiles. In that regard, I think one should be even more careful how they make a child appear.
