On Muralla Vol. 2

On the day of the shoot itself, I met the wonderful team of Ryuji Shiomitsu (an incredible Wardrobe Stylist) and his team: Hanna Pechon (a fellow UST graduate) and Red Mil (Who was so helpful and patient all throughout the day’s shoot). I must admit that it was technically my first time working with a team of stylists on a single day of a photo shoot (and this is me being the designated model) and having experienced the level of work they did, it was the best start any up-and-coming model can ask for. I enjoyed how easygoing their work relationship goes, having that rightful instinct on what would look best to a model to achieve that ‘look’ they want to convey. With all the clothes I wore, I can honestly say that I am the type who will wear such amazing clothes from those talented designers, for that, my sense of style just got a new groove from the wonderful creations Ryuji showcased that day.

Without Lhenvil Paneda( Hair and Make Up Artist) I wouldn’t look as effective as I was, and having worked with him gave me a new understanding on how helpful it is to have someone like his talent on a shoot, specially when it is done on-location and outdoor. I am sure this will not be the last time we will be working with each other. I’m looking forward to a more avant-garde photo shoot with him.

From that experience, I am thankful and it really gave me a boost and energy to further pursue this new direction in my career, having seen how I can fair in such work-environment thought me a lot of things and added a valuable network of talented people in my already fierce pool of amazing friends and colleagues.

My first published(online) work as a model.

Now that I am in the process of healing from my new inks, and doing my usual routines are temporarily put on hold, such as my daily sets of weight lifts (it’s terribly painful when I tried it with a fresh wound in my upper chest) and 1K skip ropes (I am resting my left foot from a sprain I got from a trip in Quiapo last week), I have some time to spare and thought that it’s perfect timing to catch up on the posts that I have yet to share to the worldwide web.

Last December (2009) I was fortunate enough to be contacted b Stephanie Lipp(a Canadian Photographer who is here in the Philippines for a short period of time) for a concept shoot that will be featured in the yearend(’09) issue of Mode XY(an online Men’s Fashion Magazine). I was ecstatic and was so grateful for that opportunity working with a great fashion photographer whom I found quite fresh and is not afraid to try new things. She is keen in composition and has a hunch on what will be effective on print. Just what a good Photographer should have as his/her foundation in Photography. It doesn’t hurt that she is extra friendly and is just great to work with all throughout. I am still looking forward to another work with her.
