Our first styling photoshoot as a class! Yay! This was last last Saturday. Our theme for this shoot was "Animal Print" hence the title. We are given two layouts per stylist and this is what my layouts look like. Obviously, the animal print I chose was the cow print. I was supposed to style a peacock dress by fashion designer Sir Eric Delos Santos, but our prof said that our peg for this shoot would be more of blacks and whites so there. Below are some of the shots by Francisco Guibani. 





We started at 1pm or 2pm and ended almost 6pm that day. We had 8 layouts for these shoot. Grabe! Thank you to the fashion photography class and to our mentor, Ms. Raizel Dy.


I also edited a magazine cover for this photoshoot just for fun :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR! It's been a while since I last posted in this blog. (Sorry for that haha) this was supposed to be posted before 2014 ended but things just got crazy so yeah, better late than never right? Anyway, about this shoot... This wasn't really my first time to shoot for an OOTD. (I do that to my sister most of the time haha) but this was my first time to really conduct a photo shoot just to showcase an outfit. 
Everything was planned overnight. I just asked my high school friend, the model in the pictures, to pose for me because I wanted to practice my photography skills while I was on vacation. I just thought to myself, maybe it's time to become productive before the year ends. I spent so many days being lazy and just do what I want to do, so I finally decided to do a personal project. If there's one thing I learned from my first year in an art school, it's that nobody can help you become a better artist than yourself. 
Before editing the photos, I never really thought of a theme for it but as I was editing it, it seemed like a vintage-kind of photo shoot for me so I decided to give it a vintage look, having less contrast and a yellow-ish color. So that's about it! I'm really aiming to have more shoots this year so I hope that you'll stay tuned for that. ;)
I would really like to thank my friend, Kenneth Dadulo, for saying "yes" so quickly and for feeding me. hahaha!

So here I am again with another outfit post. Yay! Sorry if we haven't been posting here at TVS. We've been busy lately but hey, at least we are here again, back to blogging :) So, you guys might wonder what we have been to. Well, as for me I was busy attending to a lot of job interview last July and thank God I am currently working at an advertising agency as a graphic artist. But on November, I'll be moving to a more corporate business at Alabang. To all the Alabang peeps reading this post, hope to see you around Alabang area! :)



So what's up with my outfit? It's a "happy birthday to me" outfit! Yay! Yes, I just turned 21 last October 16 :) But I didn't wore this dress on my birthday. This is what I wore on my birthday, click here. Anyway, me and my friend Mara, had this outfit shot at Portofino South along Daang Hari for their clothing line business, the A4 Tailoring. This is one of their products which eventually Mara just gave to me as a birthday gift because I really, really like the fit and color. A4 Tailoring creates a wide variety of apparels such as casual, corporate and a lot more. You can contact them thru Facebook or just email them at maraurbiztondo@gmail.com :)

A breathtaking infrastructure in Manila that caters the most astonishing artworks of different artists in the Philippines, from paintings to sculptures and pottery, to fossils and clothing; the National Museum of the Philippines became the home of Philippine history, and to see those artworks felt like being time-traveled way back in time. It is really fascinating how these artists were able to innovate such masterpieces given that they only had limited resources. The majesty of what they have created still astounds people even after hundreds or even thousands of years. Those works of art became a witness and evidence to lots of imperative events that helped shape the course of history, which we all know at this point in time.

With the advancement of technology, it is so easy to make an artwork in a shorter period of time compared to those artists before and the kind of art people do today is very different from what people did back then. They were able to enlighten, tranquilize, or even aid the start of a revolution. It's a mystery as to how life would be without those works of art being preserved. If those were not made, how will the flow of time be? Will it be the same or will it have a few modifications?
