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.

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

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!

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.

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!
