Hi all! First and foremost I would like to thank all of my supporters: friends, family and anonymous — you all mean the world to me! It pleases me to no end when I hear that people appreciate and are inspired by my work. You all inspire me to continue doing what I love to do :) Thank you all so so much! I’ve created a Facebook page for my business, so please keep in touch! I’d love to hear from you all!
On another note, I’ve recently joined forces with Motionscope Studies! I am incredibly excited and honored to work with such a talented and inspiring team. Please show them some love! In case you missed it, here’s the link to my introductory blog post with Motionscope (or you can scroll down if you’re lazy; photo samples included!)
“I’m Jennifer Cabugao — freelance photographer, life enthusiast and starving college student at UC Berkeley. A little background: sui (jen)eris is a play on words with my name from the latin phrase “sui generis” meaning “unique” or “of one’s own kind.” It was from this word play and an exponentially increasing passion for photojournalism that Sui (Jen)eris Photography was born in 2007. Since then I’ve worked along side many notable artists/dancers/etc. such as Gabe Bondoc, Ramiele Malubay, Poreotics, Main Stacks, The Cable Car Stars, etc. Outside of my personal business I’ve had the pleasure of working with The Golden Gate [X]press, The Daily Californian, SUPERB Productions… and now, Motionscope Studies! JJ [Casas] reached out to me from my work with The Common Cam project, led by the creative entrepreneur, Kevin Huynh. I’m extremely excited. This is my first collaboration and portraiture photography is my favorite and forte. I love people and the relationships I create with all my clientele (I promise I’m not uncomfortable to work with). Aside from shooting, I dance for UC Berkeley’s [M]ovement, am an avid video-gamer and I love to cuddle my pet hamster, Stella.
Through the camera lies my infinite reservoir of creation. “
Cheers, everyone!
Final business card mock-up! Finally :) Collaborative effort with creative genius, Kevin Huynh! Thanks bud!

Are you ready to be inspired?
Impeccable performance. As usual, Gabe did an amazing job :) It was a pleasure photographing this event, accompanied with the energy of the crowd. What an enjoyable night! Congratulations Gabe!
Live and Unplugged was held at Intramuros, a very aesthetically pleasing venue. Each and every seat was filled with music enthusiasts.
As his first solo show, it was “intimately intimate in the most platonic way possible,” as fan interaction was executed with short soliloquies, jokes and dance moves.
Took this photo through one of the venue’s mirrors — I just had to post it. The people seated in the front row looked so mesmerized!

Loved the way the light peeked over his shoulder and illuminated his cherry-red guitar. What transpired from an attempt to get a variation of angles came to be something of significance. Although the eye fixes onto the lustrous guitar before Gabe’s passionate expression, it goes to show the preeminence of music — in his world, and how he has used this instrument to share it with yours.
To see more portraits of Gabe, visit my official website: www.sui-jeneris.com. It’s currently under construction, so stay posted! :) Hope you are all enjoying your Summertime LPs!

This was taken at a cute eatery while strolling along Dwight Way. Somewhat awkward considering the fact that we randomly stopped by to take some photos. Oh well — can’t pass up a picture-appropriate moment, right? :)
Doe Library, University of California, Berkeley
I toured Gabe around my university to get some shots. Strangely, the lighting over this bench mesmerized me. Turned out to be a nice photo :)
I will be posting photos of Gabe from previous photo shoots that I have not yet published online :)

Reblog to your heart’s desire, ladies…
Please don’t remove credit! :)
Gabe Bondoc, undoubtedly one of the most talented musicians out there, is coming out with an LP this summer! This is especially exciting because 1) this is a full-length album featuring all of his songs, and 2) the album features my photo work :) Excitement!
All the times that I have worked with Gabe have been amazing. Not only is he a great musician, but a great guy too. If I weren’t his photographer, I’d still support him completely :)
