Using the Sony FE 16-35mm f/4 ZA OSS, I was able to immortalize a moment of deep faith and devotion during the novena Mass of the Sinulog Festival 2025 in Cebu, Philippines. The wide-angle perspective allowed me to frame the scene with powerful depth—the outstretched hands reaching for Santo Niño, the flicker of prayers in motion, and the surge of unwavering faith filling the air. The grandeur of the church entrance served as a gateway, not just to the celebration, but to the soul of the moment itself. The sharpness and clarity of the Sony Alpha system ensured that every intricate detail—the fervent gestures, the vibrant energy of the crowd, and the interplay of light and shadow—was captured with precision. This fleeting yet profound moment, where faith and culture converge, lives on through my lens, a testament to the power of photography in preserving emotions that words alone cannot express.
