    I don’t usually post anything outside of my personal artwork, but this is too important not to share! Earlier this semester, all of my camera equipment was stolen from my apartment. The few photoshoots that I held this semester were only made possible by borrowing equipment from my generous photographer friends. Losing my equipment was a blessing in disguise. It gave me more time to dance, a hobby that I picked up upon entering college. Never before have I been so proud and blessed to be a part of such an amazing and incredibly talented group of people, the [M]ovement. You all are seriously my family here at Cal. Thank you all for being so inspiring and for helping me grow as a dancer and a person <3

By the way, thanks for the awards! :)

    SUI (JEN)ERIS X MOTIONSCOPE STUDIES

    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!

    HIEROGLYPHICS

    Such a surreal evening. Reminiscent of my old hip-hop-head days, I found myself in the presence of one of the greatest underground legends of all time. Such a chill and talented group! Here are a few photos from their performance here at UC Berkeley on Wednesday, February 2nd — hosted by yours truly, SUPERB

    I live for this. Feeling extremely blessed.

    I took this photo for the Peanut Butter themed shoot for BARE Magazine, one of UC Berkeley’s fashion magazines. These ladies were so fun to work with!

    It don’t take a whole day to recognize sunshine.

    Took this photo with Instagram, an extraordinary photo editing application on the iPhone. It was a nice day to lay out on Memorial Glade, especially with someone very important to me :)

    Cold War Kids

    The Cold War Kids came out to UC Berkeley last semester, but I figured I’d post up the photos I took of them after I saw this neat video. Better late than never, right? SUPPORT SUPERB!


    Can any of you spot me? :)

    Blind Pilot

    One of the greatest live band performance I’ve seen yet :) Blind Pilot, an American indie folk band based out of Portland, Oregon, moved the students of UC Berkeley with their amazing acoustic sound and unique instrumentation. Israel, the lead singer in the blue button up just might the most charming man I’ve ever met! His gentle but striking voice is very profound, and this song in particular is thoroughly pleasing :) Take a gander, I assure you it won’t be a waste of your time!

    Click through for more shots of their performance! Also, “like” SUPERB’s fan page group while you’re at it!

    Frightened Rabbit

    Frightened Rabbit came to perform here at UC Berkeley last Monday, hosted by SUPERB! I honestly hadn’t heard of them until the concert but once they began to play I was really into their music. They’re also very charming and playful men, very passionate and extremely talented! It was a pleasure meeting them and getting to talk with them. Click through for more photos of the event and support their music!

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 :)
