THE POWER COUPLE shoot by Lee for his DIGIPHO Homework: Fashion spread minimum of 4 light setup. Im absolutely impressed by how Lee conceptualizes; the outcome of this shoot wasn’t your typical white background that was so obviously done around SDA. Those shots are getting waay over-rated and boring already. This one was one of the rare results; it was clear that this shoot was inspired and had a lot of thinking in it.

Ever since our Hippie Shoot at Tagaytay, I’ve already learned to trust Lee with his ideas, He never fails to work them. Thrilled when I heard Lee’s concept, the colored lights got me excited since I’ve never worked with them before.

Adam, he’s known as the hair stylist, but for this shoot, my hair didn’t need styling anymore.

Here’s our photographer; Lee. Have been working with him with shoots for several times already. Im proud of Lee for thinking of using colored lights, instead of the typical white. I heard he was the only one who took the initiative to use filters while the rest of his class stuck to plain white.

Rosa took most of the BTS shots. She did it the old school way with her trusted digicam

Here’s a closer view with my accessories; photos by Adam!

The Bandage Wedges I got from R.O.M.E. shop. One of the most comfortable pair of heels I have, although it was still challenging to jump in these!

Awesome having Bogs around here to help! Missed his humor and bubbly aura! He asked me an interesting question while Mac wasn’t around yet. I honestly didn’t know how to answer it, I just smiled while everyone started teasing. Oh Bogs!

This is the 2nd shoot Im doing with Lee and the 4th project I’m paired with Mac. I know I’ve worked with this crowd several times already, but every project is still a challenge; its still a learning process. The challenge here was to get the timing right with Lee while Mac & I seriously had to cooperate with each other and look like “The Power Couple”. We weren’t just doing a stable pose, we needed dynamic movements! Light, Camera & Shoot!

The first attempt at these were really difficult! The shots were off, and we didn’t get the timing & the chemistry right. Were required to do a jumps for all the shots, it was challenging to get this in sync; we all had to work with each other to get the shot right. Lee had to step in and do some talking.

Initially, I found it off why Lee didn’t want to use the clean wall, after all he had lights to do the artistic doing for the shots. I thought the white board was a bad idea, since it looked dirty and unplanned. Apparently not, it did have a good effect! You gotta trust Lee, his ideas may be crazy but its always for a creative outcome.

Attempts were getting better here. And I seriously didn’t want to upload the first few sets because they were hilarious and they looked like a total fail!

Lee had an interpretation for this; the white board represented us being students while the dirt on it represented the challenges The Power Couple overcomes. While the two different colored lights represented our two different courses.

And another successful shoot!
