Natsuki

And so I’m back doing these day-in-the-life portraiture shoots, which can also double as street fashion in some instances.

We met Natsuki through common friends. This was done around the neighborhood of Legazpi Village, on fine Sunday afternoon. Best time to shoot things like these for the lack of traffic and people around. We just hammed up the time with a matcha melon pan bun and randomly, a McDonald’s paperbag since we didn’t have anything else to put the bun in.

Anthea

Anthea is timeless to work with. I’ve worked with this one over the years and always a favorite.

Emilia

Gravure is just so natural for this girl. I hardly broke a sweat telling her what to do in front of the camera. Automatically moves, and all you have to do is catch it. She makes awkward look sexy.

Check out Emilia’s entire IdolZone set here.

Bianca

Now this is a hot one. For all the time I did work for FHM, I’ve heard about this model, yet we never got to cross paths. Lo and behold, just got lucky one weekend and did a shoot with this lovely babe.

Can’t wait to work with Bianca again. This time hopefully for a book.

For more of her sets, don’t forget to check out her IdolZone page.

Yuri

This was some shoot I did back with the cute girl-next-door Yuri Choii. First time for me to work with her in a studio session actually, despite the number of times we have shot for IdolZone.

Akemi

Catching up with drafted posts for the new year, so I’m kicking off 2020 with my shoot with Akemi Hogan, during my SDCC 2019 trip. She posts lots of awesome content regularly, so I was a bit embarrassed to ask for a concept to do during this trip. I ended up shooting some basics with her instead.

She is also the resident cosplayer / crafter / creator at Wonderland, so shooting there was just home turf for her.

And before this year ends, would like to cap this off with awesome Anna during our shoot for the Asian Tour in Bohol. Looking forward to another year of awesome shoots! Have a great 2020 guys!

Model Portfolio: Kim (Bikini Team TV Asian Tour 2019)

Now this is a face you would never get tired of shooting. Kim has that disarming look that just makes you melt to the floor. I’ve worked with this babe over the years and she certainly doesn’t disappoint. She just gets hotter and hotter.

In case you can’t get enough of Kim, you can always check out her IdolZone page and purchase her gravure photobook.

When you go to trips like these, you aren’t so sure what’s making you sweat: the sun or the babes you’re shooting. Maybe a bit of both.

Thanks to Bikini Team TV, we’re forever in a fever.

Bianca is an Aussie fitness and glamour model. She’s currently based in LA for modeling stints. She was one of the main highlight models during this year’s Asian Tour. And what a darling to work with.

During my yearly trip to San Diego Comic Con, my first stop has always been my friend’s place in LA. I’ve always told him his room would be an awesome shooting venue, much to his skepticism.

Good thing a model / cosplayer friend was game to shoot. The shoot itself didn’t take more than 2 hours, and with that were able to knock out several looks already. We even had spare time to get ice cream nearby.

Model Portfolio: Nicole (Bikini Team TV Asian Tour 2019)

Nicole is one of those models where you just match brainwaves when you start shooting. It’s those times you hardly need to direct the model and she just moves naturally in the scene. Those my friends are the rare times when you make magic in front the camera.

Super thanks to the awesome folks of Bikini Team TV for tagging me along for another round of fun-filled week long shooting. This time we were hitting the sands of Bohol Beach Club. More

More posts in the coming weeks.

Model Portfolio: Janka

You gotta love it when your make-up artist also models. Janka is just that combination. I’ve been working with Janka for years doing various shoots from fun to work, and this is one of those fun shoots that I would think of. Nothing fancy. Every now and then you just need to get back to basics and do clean head shots.

Model Portfolio: Emilia

I had a fun time shooting with Emilia. This girl knows how to move. She’s been running her own content through Patreon and has been doing gravure modeling for quite some time.

As most of you guys know, gravure style glamour images have been a favorite subject of mine, and I’ve worked with various muses over the years (e.g. Jinri Park) with a certain batting average if a model can carry the look or not. Emilia knocks it off the park for sure. She knew how to move and make use of the surroundings with her poses.

I also like it that she’s very collaborative in the shoot planning. She brings her own props and works with whatever we have along. Can’t wait to shoot more sets with this idol.

For more of Emilia’s set, you can check out her IdolZone page.

Model Portfolio: Dinny

Asides from donning the Rikku outfit to cosplay with Nana, we took time and shot some bikinis Dinny brought over while waiting for magic hour that afternoon.

This is part of that shoot with Enji as well.

Now only if Batangas was a surfing spot, because this babe surfs.

Model Portfolio: Allison

I wasn’t really supposed to shoot on this day, but a last minute peg got me running back to my condo for a camera. Allison was very lovely to work with and quite the trooper despite the strong aircon.

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.

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

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.
