Civil Law starts investigation on frat brawl
The Faculty of Civil Law has started its investigation over a brawl between two fraternities that happened in the University last week.
Amazing stories are hidden beneath shadows, and that is where he is prowling, with his camera at hand, patiently waiting for the right moment to capture.
With an array of stunning photographs he shot at various places he has travelled to, Jun Barrameda, a Thomasian professor teaching at the College of Fine Arts and Design showcased his works at the Beato Angelico Building in an exhibit titled SOLO, which explored the manipulation of space and light.
Every piece is a reflection of what reality is to him—depicting the elegance of culture and the classical history embedded into each photo.
“Well, I see myself as an artist photographer and my works are a reflection of my own reality; not subjective, rather I wanted to sing my own song, my visuals are my own narrative based on the intentionality why I create those images,” Barrameda said.
The exhibit featured photos shot during eight years of travelling and a manuscript “dedicated to everyone who is into photography, most especially to the Thomasian artists of today.”
“The intention of my exhibit is an inspiration for those in pursuit in the completion of their theses in the coming years,” he said.
Finding the right lens
Jun Barrameda
Barrameda obtained his undergraduate degree at the University of Santo Tomas and got his master’s degree in Fine Arts and Design at the Philippine Women’s University where his collection, Photography: A Study of Light and Space was used for his master’s thesis.
His prowess in photography is recognized locally and internationally. His work titled Dugo at Kawayan won a bronze at the International Photography Awards and another piece titled Khmer Rouge earned the ASIAN Photography Award 2016 Featured Photograph.
Even with these achievements, he remains humble. “Progress comes along with age, and it is called maturity,” he said. “It took a journey of 40 long years of practice from advertising until today which I claimed to be an artist, working within the medium – photography, of which I love most.”
However, not everyone can handle this tedious process of following one’s passion—they are often disheartened in the middle of the journey. “The most difficult [person] to convince is yourself,” he said.
“But if you want to be successful, never be disheartened. Always have 100 percent self-confidence. Don’t ask Facebook likes to convince you; it is fake. Instead, believe in yourself that you are amazing.”
The mantra
“It’s my way of giving back.” He regarded his exhibit with pride, elated that he can finally impart his undying passion to his fellow Thomasians, especially to the University for nurturing him, and guided him in finding where his passion is.
“My message to the Thomasian community is be an artist—be a Thomasian artist. And to those who have love for photography, I will leave you three things: dedication and love, quality, and attitude (sic).”
