As a professional photographer, I use Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom to further enhance most of my contributions to the editorials. Through this working experience, I develop a technique utilizng these software to make images appear more crisp, vibrant and pleasant for the magazine. In addition to this task, I also render illustrations, vector-based artworks and print advertisements for clients using both Adobe Illustrator; then further enhance it in Photoshop if it is needed.

One noteworthy event that we had covered last December of 2010 for the magazine was the Doha Tribeca Film Festival 2010 (click on the above photo to view the DTFF photo collection). As a one of the press photographer who where in the Red Carpet Ceremonies that second day of its opening, I got to photograph not only the arab region's most celebrated actors, actress, film directors but other Hollywood celebrities like Robert De Niro, Juliette Binoche, and Salam Hayek. In addition to this compilation are my Illustrations. My skills in the visual arts production are deeply based on my drawing skills which I hone as early as my childhood days. When I finished high school in 1993, I took Bachelor of Fine Arts majoring Advertising in Philippine Women's University and and won 2nd Prize for The 29th Shell National Student Art Competition before I graduated in 1997.

Adobe Illustrator CS4; Vector Art by Jeffrey Reloban Navarro Clicking this photo will bring you to my "Vector Art & Illustrations" portfolio.  That was the year when computer graphics had just started to be properly integrated in our curriculum. For that reason, most of the jobs that I had during those days does not deals with computer graphics. I've work as a photographer (using films on Pentax P30T and Bronica ETR) documenting finished paintings for fellow artist for their monographs and self-promotion. It was 1999 when I got my 1st computer and started to learn vector art using CorelDraw v.9.   Before I joined ABODE Magazine, I did some conceptual editorial illustrations for Southeast Asian Airlines, Inc. (SEAIR) InFlight Magazine – an official on-board lifestyle and travel magazine issues. Clicking this photo will bring you to my "Illustrations" portfolio. Around that time, I also learned Adobe Photoshop and quickly added this new set of skills and was able to create a portfolio that earned me a graphic designer job title for a garments manufacturing company which I helped crystallized the brand called PIXIES Clothing Co. Then while working there, I got an offer to work abroad - in the Kingdom of Bahrain - as a Creative Director for an Interior Design business which specialize in Decorative Painting.  ©2005. Appropriation for Ceiling of a Hans Makart's Piece and Original Ornamentations. Ceiling mural for Ibhrahim Al Afoo's Mansion in Janabiya, Kingdom of Bahrain. Acrylic on Gypsum by Jeffrey Reloban Navarro Click the photo above to view my Decorative Painting Portfolio. It was here where I was able to utilized all the skills: painting, illustration, photography and graphic design - all that I have acquired from college and being employed after graduated. Though I heavily worked - rendering by hands all the murals and decorative arts for these lavish and eclectic arab interiors, preliminary studies and perspective are all done using computer graphic software. Most of the ornamentation's repetitive nature were easily laid out accurately by using CorelDraw. This saved us time sampling for paint and made us sure that all conceived interior design ideas will be faithful to what was agreed upon. I will leave this all up to you to discover more about my work and other creative endeavor I've been involved with. I am not a writer though I wish I can further articulate my works soon, I will be updating this site and further gather my thoughts about each significant artwork the soonest. Feel free to visit and have another look of each albums. There is so much to see and I believe that you would not be able to finish viewing all of them in just one session. I hope to see you more often visiting this place where I keep everything fresh and cool. Jefrigerated Portfolios Click an icon to view the contents of a particular portfolio.
