Lito Genilo's Blog bio picture
  • Welcome to my blog!

    Lito Genilo of Smart Shot Studio takes picture like no other. Relaxed and unobtrusive but ever alert, Lito always manages to capture and preserve on film the best and happiest moments of each wedding. In his growing body of work, rarely do we find couples and their guests posing stiffly and with feigned or forced expressions on their faces. Instead, we mostly see normal people just having a good time, enjoying their special day naturally and quite spontaneously.

    Lito, who has won several awards here and abroad, is well-known among the circle of wedding and portrait photographers for his bold, innovative and trendsetting ways. Take his approach to creative infra-red photography. Here he uses invisible infra-red light to create dramatic, often unexpected results.

Wedding day expressions I always love to capture, its one of the most rewarding parts of being a wedding photographer to tell the story of the wedding day, from nerves and tears to smiles and laughter, real photojournalist can create stunning pictures and turn them into works of art. There are plenty more shots, but as always we only show a few here.
