Our company Sykes has organized a photo contest for the summer outing that was held last June in Subic. The theme for the contest was "Paradiso". I was requested by our AM to be the main photographer in our account. I hesitated at first but realized that It's an opportunity for me to practice myself.
This is the first time I handled the lighting, poses and the location. The concept was decided by the management.
Models: Mariz (girl)

The Isolation of the Burned
Image by ReSurge International
Photo by Phil Borges
ReSurge is proud to be a finalist in InterAction’s photo contest. Our thanks to Phil Borges for capturing this image,
“The Isolation of the Burned.”
In Sri Lanka and throughout the Global South, burn survivors often live in an unseen world, ostracized and hidden from society because of their disfigurements and disabilities. This photo of Iresha looking out her window wearing a mask to reduce scarring captures the isolation and stigma burn survivors suffer. The image echoes the words of Dr. Chandini Perera, ReSurge's partner in Sri Lanka and Iresha’s surgeon. “Burns is a painful disease-- emotionally and physically. The treatment is painful. The follow up is painful. The response from society is painful. Survivors, unlike someone with a terminal illness, they don’t die; they actually live, but you can’t see them because they can’t come out. Society will not accept them.”
