Projections


I am no model, but I love pretending to be one. Believe me I wasn’t always like this. I was always a wallflower (or perhaps, still am) but who doesn’t like to feel pretty and have their picture taken. Before I sound too self-absorbed, let me just say that vanity is almost every girl’s sin.

So anyway when my cousin asked me to “model” for her photography class project, I instantly agreed. Automatically, I asked for the theme and what I needed to bring. She couldn’t explain what it was and she told me, to my amusement, that she was only going to shoot my upper body and just needed a plain white tube top.
On the day of the shoot itself, my cousin finally explained what she was going to do. It was going to be very conceptual; I would have to portray different emotions while being projected with different images.

I should stop blabbering here and just let the pictures speak for themselves.

Would you believe that this was just shot in a bathroom?

This is easily my favorite. I'm with my cousin here, who's the photographer's sister.

A Little Help From A Friend: Lena on The Modern Gabriela Silang


I consider Lena a rare gem. Not only is she a great friend, but she is a fabulous fashion blogger as well. I'm not exaggerating. Go ahead check out her blog. I wanna thank her for not turning my invitation down and for such an incredibly written entry. Haha I was simply amazed the first time I saw these photos and overjoyed when she said "YES" to putting them on my blog. Thanks again, Lena! Hats off to her cousin, Nerisa Marie Fernandez. You nailed it!

Bohemian Gone Vintage: Outdoor Photo Shoot

Outdoor photo shoots are tricky. Let's say your shoot requires more sunlight but then the day turns gloomy and you couldn't find that "moment" where you could just press that shutter and go home. The worst scenario could be getting your subjects soaking wet because of a sudden downpour! But if you are after getting your subjects wet and dirty then make sure to protect your camera.

I was lucky that this first outdoor photo shoot I did for Lena went well. Tin looked absolutely stunning in her mom's dress! The two did a fabulous job and did not require too much directions. If you need models, just give me a heads up and let's discuss what we could do. Hahahaha

So what you need to remember is to prepare, prepare, and prepare.  Trust your instincts and never forget to ask the gods of Olympus to never let it rain on your shoot (optional).
