WHAT OUR STUDENTS ARE SAYING

“He blends theory and studio practice well, so we got to try things hands-on and learn as we went. He’s not only knowledgeable and patient but also generous with insights from his own experience, and he gives clear, constructive feedback. You can really feel his love for photography in every session. I left with practical skills and fresh inspiration for my own shoots and a deeper appreciation for the craft itself.”

I took the Fashion Photography class at SoFa mainly to break away from corporate life and ended up learning way more than I expected, thanks to Sir Albert.

Hi, I’m Franz, a photographer from Pampanga. I had the privilege of joining Sir Albert’s fashion photography class at SOFA for six months.

I’m truly grateful to Sir Albert. With two years of photography experience, I thought I already knew what I was doing. But during his classes, I realized there was always something new to learn each week, from basic lighting setups to full production lighting. He is very approachable; I remember one time I asked for his guidance on what lighting setup I should use for a full production project I had in Pampanga, and he was more than willing to help.

Being part of his class has been one of the best experiences in my journey through the creative industry. He is very detailed in every topic we covered, whether it’s technical aspects of shooting, working with models, or sharing his personal experiences in the creative world.
