JEDDAH, 07 March 2023 — The Philippine Consulate General in Jeddah (Jeddah PCG) formally opened on 28 February a light painting photography exhibit titled “Sinag Sining”, which features the works of Mr. Alejandro “Alex” Domingo, a Filipino photographer based in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Said exhibit is in celebration of National Arts Month, which has the theme “Ani ng Sining, Bunga ng Galing”. Select personnel and officers of Jeddah PCG served as the subjects of the exhibit.
The Sinag Sining exhibit aims to introduce light painting to the mainstream society as well as promote Filipino artistry and arts, such as fashion, using photography as medium. The exhibit showcases different Filipiniana attires-- from traditional to modern-- as worn by Consulate personnel, with a blend of different lighting patterns and designs as background.
Light painting is a technique in photography which uses light directly on a projective surface to create a play and display of colors, light, and design on the subject.
The featured artist Mr. Alex Domingo is the founder of Jeddah Photographers and Friends Unite whose mission is to build camaraderie among all photography groups, individuals, and enthusiasts, and to help people by creating events, workshops and activities. He was also the President of Spectrum Real Photographers in Jeddah.
The exhibit is located at the Ground Floor, Building 3 of Jeddah PCG, and will run and will remain open to the public until 30 March 2023. END
