Students of the Project Development and Gallery Exhibition class of the Bachelor of Arts in Photography Program of the De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde (DLS-CSB) held a photo exhibit of distinct interpretations of combined interests, personal issues and documented campaigns under the guidance of professional photographer-mentor Vincent Jaime Villafranca.
Called “Daloy,” which means continuous stream in Filipino, the culmination exhibit featured the works of student-artists Nicolai Briones, Kristen Mulingtapang, Mattias Moraleda, Jonathan Oyales, Joash Usa, Adrian Daez, Jorge Bermal, Genely Therese Esplana, and Dana Santiago.
“Daloy was suggested by one of the students wherein they could freely express any topic of their choice, from travels to their personal travails,” Villafranca revealed.
Held at the Vetro Art Gallery on Congressional Avenue in Project 8, Quezon City, the photos ran on themes on of personal issues such as beauty, mental health and how the human relationship is affected by technology.
Other students took a more traditional approach such as employing street and documentary tactics with their chosen topics of home, transport and their views of open spaces in Manila.
“My piece was about student stagnation. This was a representation of myself stuck as a high school student. I was failing my classes, while my classmates graduated, pursued college degrees, then started on their careers. It made me feel that time flowed slower in my world, and theirs was faster,” shared Briones.
