Do you have that extremely conflicting feeling that things are finally moving forward with questions being answered, and yet we are nowhere near where we wanted to go, and more and more questions seem to pop-up? As another month drew to a close, the world is as bizarre as ever. The truth is, no one knows anything for certain. Anything anyone says is mere speculations, and that is the reason you have varying news (in the extremes) predicting what will happen – even the results of scientific models using the best computers are wildly apart. It’s just each person’s preference and bias that makes him or her sway to one side or the other.

With all these in play, we do our best with what we think is best. And with Metrophoto, we believe that that is to continue sharing messages of hope and features of optimism. Today we are showcasing photos from Manilyn and Jim’s shoot in Zambales a few months ago. These two were supposed to get married last April but had to move everything because of the pandemic. What’s fascinating when you look at these photos is how isolated the couple is from the rest of the world. You would think that even with the virus somehow still out there, they could still do something like this. And that’s the fact that we realized. Shoots like these, done with caution and with safety in mind, are very much possible to carry-out.

It’s with this realization that we created M-Unity. These are risk-minimized shoots that are approved by infectious disease experts to allow us to continue to live life and not be exorbitantly held back by speculations that scare us. These shoots will unite us back together and serve as a symbol of immunity. We don’t have to be scared; we need to be smart and pragmatic. For now, take a good close look at the following photos and imagine the possibilities.
