Model Portfolio: Khalee

Clean white sheets have always been a favorite scene to shoot in. Soft lights and easy on the eyes. These are one of the shoots that happened impromptu, and luckily Khalee was in town. As far as this shoot went, she was based in Boracay (working in a resort), and then went back for a few days. This would be like my 3rd shoot with her, and she’s always been a trooper to work with.

Model Portfolio: Myrtle Gail

Summer couldn’t just get any hotter, and what luck we got ourselves Myrtle Gail partly to blame for that. Enjoy the images guys!

Model Portfolio: Chelsea

And so I finally got to release these images after ages. It was one of those test shoots that got buried under the HD archives. I know Chelsea these images. Better late than never right? 🙂

We shot this at our usual stomping grounds in Penthouse Studios.

Model Portfolio: Cherry

I know we haven’t seen much of this girl in the scenes of as late, but I guess she’s enjoying her time off the modeling circuit. Of course we have a lot of content with Cherry over the years, so here’s one of those sets that didn’t really see the light of day until now. Enjoy the summer guys! Things are just getting hotter and hotter.

Model Portfolio: Laura

We didn’t know Daiana has an equally hot sister until now. Laura just came to Manila as of late to study English and get her modeling career started. We took this chance to shoot her at the studio and have a bit of fun. For somebody starting modeling, she sure knows how to work it.

Check out the YouTube video below to see how the shoot went!

Cosplay Photography Round Up

With summer fast approaching (if not already here), here’s a quick rundown of the cosplay images we have released this Q1, 2019:

It’s only as of late when we get to pump out cosplay shots on a regular basis, given we all do this for fun and in between jobs. For those who have missed how we pulled off some of these images, check out the video links to my YouTube!

If you also notice, both Rikku and Yuna cosplay images have been updated with Paine added in the background. Was able to find a Paine cosplayer as of late, and good thing Dinny and Foxrots were game enough to go back to the studio and shoot again for material.

Model Portfolio: Enji

Ok, Enji has been one of my dream cosplayers to work with ever since she become popular for her Supergirl costume. She has gone around the SEA region, often not getting invited to Manila for a convention. Luckily, she had the chance to be part of a con, and arrived in town a week before the con weekend.

Took this chance to bring her to the beach for some chillax time before the mayhem started.

Make-up: I-ann Monzon
Shoot Production: Carlo Ocampo
Styling / Model: Enji Night

Of course Enji attended Comic Con Asia last March 2018. We made sure to shoot some cosplay while we’re at it. Check out our video when she donned her iconic Supergirl costume!

Model Portfolio: Natalia

Nice of Natalia to think of us whenever she’s in town. She has been one of the fly-in regulars over the years, and she just gets hotter and hotter every time.

Something homey and relaxing this time around, so we just had her lounging around the condo.

You can check out my past shoots with Natalia here and here.

Model Portfolio: Courtney

I know this something I’ve shot some time back, but this is one shoot trip that just keeps on giving. The Bikini Team TV Asian Tour is about to kick off in sunny Bohol this April, so no better way to get people excited other than releasing stuff we have!

Courtney is one of my trip favorites. We certainly did a lot of images over the past 5 days of the tour, enough stuff to keep on posting for a year. Hehehe.

Enjoy the shots guys!

Model Portfolio: Pashence

Prior to the Bikini Team Asian Tour 2017, Pashence was in town early so we thought of getting some images out just for fun.

I know, this content should’ve been out ages ago. But better late than never right?

Model Portfolio: Samantha

We got Samantha a second time and thought of taking her to my favorite stomping grounds.

As for writing, the property has been sold to a new owner. Come to think of it, I can’t believe I’ve been shooting at this place for the past 10 years or so. It was a great run. As the owner said, we have made the place both famous and anonymous at the same time. Hehehe. She fondly calls the place Narnia, and rightfully so. That place was where alot of my concepts came to be.

Model Portfolio: Krisha

It’s been awhile since I posted something in my blog, so for 2019 I am promising to be more active in this space, though not as busy as other social media channels.

Model Portfolio: Anthea

First time I took the EOS R for a spin. It was a barely a week when I got this cam, and much my chagrin, I felt like a newbie all over again. I was so used to working with a DSLR that I had formed habit around the physicality of the camera. Over the past few years, Canon was pretty consistent with their form factor so no matter how I changed bodies, it was easy to use.

The EOS R being mirrorless, had its own set of functions and behavior that incrementally took me by surprise. Like getting used to seeing the image live through the view finder because there was a mirror that flips back after you take a shot. With the R, there was a delay before you get to see the image. It never really occurred to me that the EVF is technically another screen, so previewing through the view finder was like waiting tor the same preview to appear on the back screen. How #titohits of me. Hahaha. I guess I just got used to holding a DSLR for so long.

Also, you have to be aware of the nuances of the sensor. The R is relatively warmer compared to the Mark 4 and Ds. I had to dial down the color temperature to somewhere at 5200K in the custom white balance as compared to 5400 with the rest.

Well, you can see the rest of the review here. Good thing I had Anthea (one of my classic go-to models) to work with and was game enough to be guinea pig for this shoot.

Model Portfolio: Courtney (Bikini Team TV Asian Tour 2017) 2

As promised, more Courtney Newman from our Asian Tour 2017 shoot. One of my favorite sets we did for FHM. The back of Stilts Beach Resort is this dirt road leading to the last cottage. There were hardly any people there so it was the best time to pull off a shoot without any disturbances. The bikinis perfectly matched the backgrounds as well.

Model Portfolio: Courtney (Bikini Team Tv Asian Tour 2017)

When it’s the summer, you can’t wait for the rains to arrive… now that they’re here.. we’re all wishing to be a bit more dry. There’s nothing as moderation with our weather.  Since it’s now raining cats and dogs.. let us be reminded of how hot summmer can be. Had the awesome chance to work with Courtney Newman for the Bikini Team TV Asian tour 2017 in Calatagan. She just has that classic beauty queen look, which she is by the way.

More of Courtney in my next few posts.

Before Samantha’s shoot, I also got to work with the lovely Kate Gonzales. Hence you’d get to see Samantha and Kate in the same video on some clips. Hehehe.. Made the best of the day and got more than one model to work with.

Model Portfolio: Samantha

I first got to work with Samantha years ago on a test shoot in the studio. Fast forward to not so distant past, we get to shoot again for fun. But this time I thought of getting a location to maximize the shots for the day.
