Edwin only started photography from the hobby club of their office. He proved to be a natural looking through the lenses even besting his own mentor in a competition which they both joined. His first competition, his first gold.
Edwin Loyola has taken a fancy to infrared photography and has mastered this medium so well that his first batch of pictures won for him a gold medal in another competition. This competition was unusual because one was judged according to twelve pictures one submitted. In his exhibition of photography in La Salle, he included 9 of these photographs. Needless to say, everyone, but everyone found these pictures truly the work of a genius.
This particular exhibition featured over thirty new works that run the gamut of landscape photography, human interest, and even religious Philippine practices. His grasp of composition is truly remarkable, being able to shoot images within the confines of his lenses making cropping dispensable, the mark of a true photographer.
He angles and takes shots from the most unusual of angles giving the subjects a fresh and new lease on life. And because he uses infrared film, even the colors of objects change. Processing the works in black and white, some of the images take on a ghostly likeness. And with a keen sense of lighting, he is able to maximize every aspect of the image to contribute to the photographs heightened emotions. In fact this is one of the few exhibitions that really touched the audience on an emotional level.
