Apple Premium Reseller\u00a0Power Mac Center (PMC)\u00a0is no stranger to celebrating communities with unique stories waiting to be shared. This was the inspiration for \u201cPortraits<\/a>,\u201d a special visual storytelling series created in collaboration with Filipino photographers showcasing the camera prowess of the iPhone.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPower Mac Center recognizes the power of the platform we are given, using the technology that we have, to put the spotlight on communities with important advocacies. We put this series together not only to lend a face and voice to our subjects, but to inspire our audience to use their talents, pursue their passions, and make their mark, with the help of their favorite Apple devices,\u201d\u00a0said Joey Alvarez, PMC Director of Product Management and Marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The communities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The episodes of Portraits juxtapose two extremes \u2014 the quiet calm of Masungi Georeserve\u2019s eco-conservationists against the unapologetically flamboyant drag queens of Butterboy Bakehouse. The contrast deliberately showcases the lengths to which iPhone photography stretches, effectively catering to every subject in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Featuring the fabulous drag queens Naia, Drag Race Philippines contestant Precious Paula Nicole, and Pura Luka Vega, the latest episode was shot on iPhone by photographer Cru Camara who has worked with international publications and global brands. It was set against the backdrop of Butterboy Bakehouse, which offers both delectable homemade croissants and entertaining performances during daylight drag or what they call as \u201cdrag brunch\u201d and \u201cmeriendrag.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, PMC tapped conservation photographer and filmmaker Noel Guevara to take the iPhone on a hike, along with the rangers of Masungi Georeserve and three city-based hikers who find sanctuary in nature. Scaling the verdant trails of the protected forest, they shared stories of their memorable climbs, confessed to what (or who) inspired their first hike, and reflected on the fulfillment they find in hiking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shot on iPhone<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conservation photographer Guevara made sure to capture every significant moment of the climb. Through stunning photos and videos shot on iPhone, he gave justice to the Masungi staff\u2019s decades-long conservation efforts and hard work to achieve a balanced coexistence of man and nature in this little piece of paradise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this project, Cru\u2014who is known for their photographs that express creative play of colors, contrast, and shadow\u2014examines identity and the way femininity and masculinity co-exist.Armed with their iPhone, they were able to capture the vibrant drag scene as the queens transformed into larger-than-life characters, aimed at making drag mainstream in Philippine culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both photographers\u2019 expert grasp of the environment and the lenses\u2019 inner workings exuded their visual storytelling talents, highlighting key iPhone camera features.
