Ako si Znarf EPISODE II

So to shoot the breeze again, i need an antifreeze to kick-off episode II of my blog. Here’s another music to keep the vibes working and to take you guys back to cloud 9 coz my back’s still sore after i slipped and i’m still cheesed-off and still with 3 sheets of the wind. LOL

here’s a song by  30 seconds to mars, Closer to the edge

As you all know i’ve met, been with and shared my life with so many people although things didn’t turn out as i expected it to be, the experiences and the memories are the only things i have left. Things come and go, lost some, won some but what the heck? that’s life.

When you fall, you begin to stand up again and when you do, you carry on with No regrets.

I may have done shame to my name or to other people. I may have been wrong, I may have been right but i’ll never have regrets doing them, coz the experiences i had are the only things that make me who i am Today.

I push myself off the limits, I am me. I am unique and I am the only Franz Lopez you will ever know.

I went solo with my dad, and by doing so after covering Momentous events of 2007, we then began to cover Celebrities and Famous People among of which are Top Celebrity icons of the 21st century of the philippine entertainment industry and famous Politicians who made themselves known.

And also with Politicians & Famous people  like

After going solo with my Dad i began to meet other photographers, Models, Makeup Artists friends and affiliates. I had a vision that would create a new realm of photography experience, a network of photographers all over the Philippines. A project called “Photographers for Change” i started this way back in 2007 where i saw a different and a more defined perspective in photography, using it as a medium to communicate and share reality. This was the very 1st project i ever had and my very own undertaking with me spearheading it.

I shouted out on Multiply back then calling out photographers who would like to share their Captivating images all over the philippines. the respond was successful, it was overwhelming. A lot of people to showed how the philippines is really, back then and how reality can shape up a whole nation with the use of the photographic medium.

Photographers as far as Basilan, Jolo Sulu, Bicol, Cebu, Maguindanao, Metro Manila, Ilocos and etc. Luzon, Visayas & Mindanao Converge and shared their remarkable images and showed that they want change, they wanted to be heard.

In 2008 witht he help of the friends i met with P4C a creative team composed of models, a makeup artist and photographers who are reluctant in the success of our project was established.

I met Ms. Lalaine Odal, a great and Gorgeous Model who’s easy to get to know and fun to be with.

I also met Ms. Daphne Oliveros. An extremely talented and creative artist who’s one of my idols in event photography. her website can be found at

Together we all reacted a pact. That shoot was extremely memorable to me because that was the 1st ever shoot i had together with other photographers who i only me t online. I can say, that they are one of the best photographers in the philippines today.

kudos to you guys and more power!

This was the photograph Daphne took of me when i had the 1st ever shoot i joined

so as an ending line, again i’d like to thank  everyone who have been a part of my early years being serious in photography. it has been a long, 5-year journey. My camera is 5 years now and it doesn’t end here. A whole lot more of learning and experiences are coming my way as i conquer the things i have just been dreaming of 7 years ago.

I am Franz Lopez and the Passion Lives on.
