*DO NOT JUST ADD ME AND THINK WERE FRIENDS!!! SEND ME A LITTLE HELLO, A COMMENT OR SOMETHING. INTRODUCE YOURSELF FIRST!! Your request will automatically get deleted!! No exceptions!
This does irritate me a lot. RETARDS DONT KNOW HOW TO READ!!!
*I DO NOT TOLERATE "NO-SHOWS". YOU DO THIS AND WERE NOT SHOOTING ANYMORE. I SUGGEST YOU GO FIND ANOTHER PHOTOGRAPHER. I AM NOT AFRAID TO LOSE A MODEL. IVE TURNED DOWN A COUPLE ALREADY AND I CAN FIND BETTER ONES ANYWHERE, ANYTIME.
*I am not a fan of PAY SITES so do not even mention.
*Dont ask me to work with you if youre into event promotions because I dont do that. I dont wanna waste my time and yours.
*Do not add me if you are out of California or at least if youre not planning on booking me.
*If you are from a High Fashion/ Editorial Magazine trying to book me please email me at [email protected] or [email protected]

ABOUT ME:
Hello I am Dennis Santarinala and this is just one of numerous talents I have. In the late 1990's I took B.A. in Interior Design at Philippine School of Interior Design, Makati City, Philippines acquiring a lot of factors like History of Arts and Architecture, Color Theory and Advertising, which lead me to developing my style in vivid commercial photography. I also have been involved in Web & Graphic Arts in 1999, developing Corporate Websites catering to local and international businesses in the Manila proper.
I concentrate now on developing High Fashion, Fine Art & Editorial Portfolio for a very serious group of Stylists I worked with located all over Southern California. A lot of people doubted me for my vision but the few who believed benefited from it.
If you have any comments, concerns, complaints or negative reactions about my work do not hesitate to write me in public or in private. Thanks to all who helped me in the past as well. To God be the glory.
My rate for portfolio development photography starts at $550 / weddings and events at $3500 (please ask!)
Ive met a lot of good and bad people in the business already and YES I CAN SMELL YOUR KIND FROM A GOOD DISTANCE SO BEWARE.
To the good guys:
I salute you all for all of your hard work and I know "real" artists should be getting what they all deserve. Thank you so much for believing in my work and I will never forget all of this.. You know who you all are.
I know you are interested in what software I use:
Adobe Illustrator, Image Ready, Photoshop, Fireworks, Dreamweaver, Flash, Acrobat, Sonic Soundforge, Corel. I also have a desktop and a Toshiba ntbk I carry with me all the time for presentations.
I do not listen to hip-hop music and I admit I cant stand that music although my wife's crazy about it. I also do not like PAY SITES!! NO QUESTIONS!

My Interests

Basketball Photography Arts Rock Music Indoor Rock Climbing

I'd like to meet:



..

Currently I cannot take anymore TFCD/TFP's but I am willing to work it out with you guys so do not hesitate to ask!.

I WILL DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY FOR ALL TRADE WORK.

We all got bills to pay and we gotta eat too right? I have a flat rate of $50.00 (to cover my effort driving to and from location, misc. and food allowance) for interested parties who want to do a trade (TFP/ TFCD) not unless if you could provide a different look other than the ones I have in my portfolio then I will put you in my PRIORITY LIST. Im looking at going fulltime as soon as I get my new flash site done. email me at [email protected] or call me at (619) 962 6365.
