Whenever LVX Management needs folios for their talents in town, they round up the usual suspects such as myself for a test shoot. So here’s Alisa. This was part of a larger test shoot so they had several photographers going around Penthouse Studios. This was my set with her in the infamous Dix’s Kitchen. (Dix is the owner of the studio). The natural light here flows from soft to harsh throughout the entire day making this an ideal shooting area asides from the studio proper. We’ve shot numerous models in this spot, but each shoot just has it’s own unique take so you never really get tired shooting here. All you need is a piece of styrofoam for a reflector and you’re good to go. The yellowish white walls lend for a nice bounce making backlit images and easy technique to do as well.
This was also one of the rare times when you could have make-up mavens like Xeng Zulueta devote time for a test shoot.

did you intentionally blur some of the photos or were those just natural lighting?
I was already working with a shallow depth of field. I add more blurs to taste in some of the images.
