After Hours
“The ball ended and we had a little chat.”
My good friend Bettina Pascual posing for me after a social event. She was my very first muse. Every time we went to parties, she would wear something special and I’d be there to shoot it. That motivated me to create a photo set of her called ‘Project Pascual’. I eventually invited her to model for my very first dive into conceptual fashion photography.

Mary’s Blue Hat
“The Hat was blue. It didn’t matter. It’s an Era Shoot at the fourth floor. No one would see.”
Mary came to me and asked me to shoot her. I usually won’t shoot people pro bono but I saw raw talent. She was planning to start up as a model. I invited other photographers to shoot her too. For a Novice Model with Zero Experience, I have to say; the photos came out quite nice!
Interesting how the color blue translates to very nice tone of gray.
Special Thanks
Bernie for styling, Teena for grooming, and Trixie for production.
Black Witch
One of my early works in fashion/portraiture shot 2 years ago. Another photo from the same set got displayed as a Billboard over the highway.
Styled by Mau Manuel and Bev Kho. Thanks Pat Co!
What Brings You Here?
Yuki; wearing a gray top, sheer skirt, Chanel belt and black boots. Like a vagabond wandering in the world of Fashion. Just add the laid back silhouettes and grand entrances, because it does make a lasting impression.
Now Directly quoting her.
Leave the bongga outfits for the many days to come!
How She Got Away
“She went inside. Stole things. Walked away and disappeared into the shadows. She was a master of beauty and disguise.”
We shot Katarina at the School of Design and Arts Campus. Prior to this, I only had 3 days to set up a team. I even had to invite a student to be my assistant because I really can’t handle the pressure of just shooting in 3-4 hours.
Everyone was starring at her. It’s not often that an international model would shoot in campus. The Security guards who would usually pester us didn’t even bother us. People were surprised. The team loved the attention Katarina drew. But we had to shoo these people away.
The shoot was inspired by those old Film Noir, Hitchcock films. I loved how shadows show mystery. A story could be made up around simple things by just adding the right light.
The Big Sleep
She was worth a stare. She was trouble. - Humphrey Bogart as Philip Marlowe (The Big Sleep, 1946)
Katarina was fun to be with. Shooting her is a breeze. She’s one of the few models who I didn’t need to direct anymore. She’s this good but to my surprise, she’s never done Philippine Fashion Week. She told us that they don’t really pay big. Saying she’s better off doing TVC’s. I guess I have to agree; Katarina’s done really big TV commercials. What an ordinary model at fashion week can earn (and still depending on the number of shows); she can earn in only one day.
Now I leave you to guess how old she is.

Fresh Model Alper with his Bosquejo necklace. Shot at Rxandy Capinpin’s studio. Met Alper for the first time. Rxandy rushed us in shooting. Alper had to leave soon. Wasn’t quite sure where he was going.
