BJ Pascual Shows How to Shoot Like a Pro with the vivo V50
To celebrate a decade of innovation, vivo Philippines hosted a one-of-a-kind photography masterclass with celebrity fashion photographer BJ Pascual. Held at the vivo store in One Ayala and streamed live on Facebook on July 12, 2025, the event showcased the capabilities of the new vivo V50, co-engineered with ZEISS optics.
Hosted by Nicole Cordoves, the masterclass gave fans and photography enthusiasts a hands-on look at how mobile photography can rival studio setups—thanks to features like the ZEISS All Main Camera system, Multifocal Portrait Mode, and AI Aura Light Portrait 2.0.
A Creative Journey Powered by Passion and Precision
Before achieving national acclaim, BJ Pascual was a young creative who found comfort in self-expression through photography, design, and fan communities. From creating graphics to being published in school magazines, he paved his own path into the fashion and media scene—proving that talent and vision can open doors.
This journey made him the perfect mentor for vivo’s masterclass, where he shared not only techniques but also the mindset behind every iconic image.
What You Can Learn from the vivo V50 Masterclass
BJ Pascual demonstrated real-world mobile photography techniques using the vivo V50, sharing pro tips and showing live results. Key takeaways include:
- Portrait Mode Tips:
Use natural lighting and keep the face in the center grid for a runway illusion. Great for clean, editorial-style shots. - ZEISS Multifocal Portrait Mode:
Switch between 23mm, 35mm, and 50mm lenses to change your photo’s mood and depth. Lower mm = more background drama. - Style Bokeh Effects & AI Aura Light 2.0:
BJ highlighted the Biotar, B-Speed, and Distagon styles to mimic expensive lens effects—swirls, soft motion blur, or clean hexagonal glows—all from one device.
He emphasized that what once required a professional studio is now available in the palm of your hand.
