"EDGEWORKS "A Series of Workshops with Edge of Light

I have passion for fashion photography. In years of learning how to make the legwork before executing it I needed to learn a lot of things and of course it didnt come overnight. I was lucky that in this day and age there are masters willing to share their expertise. I was blessed to have attended Xander Angeles' workshop a couple of years ago and yes; it has drastically changed my idea of what photography should be from a "fashion photography" standpoint. I needed to learn the basics, then learn some OTHER things because the art continues to evolve. I had to see more clearly why he had gorgeous shots and mine was mediocre to say it nicely. In the real world, it can be literally categorized as weird + awesome + gorgeous + sexy... But in his philosophy it's just different. That's exactly what I found out with my Sensei Xander Angeles.

Good thing they have a series of workshops throughout May and it's promptly called "EDGEWORKS "A Series of Workshops with Edge of Light"".

Classes will be Sundays ; 9AM-6PM

 

Fashion Photography | May 6

Creative Lighting Workshop | May 13

Swimwear Shoot | May 20

You'll be able to learn a lot of things. He'll teach you how to deconstruct photos and how to use lighting effectively. He also gives practical advise on experimenting with different light sources. That's what I really enjoyed that time!

Though the batch today will be doubly LUCKY, aside from the chance to learn from him... they'll get lots of perks and freebies from camera organizations. They also have the chance to take 20% - 40% off the regular price on some of the wares as they will be directly selling them during the workshop. 

All the photo shoots will be inclusive of world class ELITE Models, MUA and Stylist, a workshop certificate, official Edge of Light shirt, food and drinks!

It's a once in a lifetime chance to learn from experienced photographers like him. It did wonders for some of my shots. Now it's your turn!

CHAMPION's "Walk Away From Stains" Fashion Show!

Did you know that there was a Fashion show that happened in Mindanao Avenue last March 18, 2012?

I really missed it but there were some details I got from friends who were able to witness it at the newest Super8 Supermarket branch in Visayas Avenue. Nobody knew it would happen right smack in the middle of the supermarket, but just imagine gorgeous models and clothes strutting isle number 1 to 32. It would have been great to experience that! Their task was to convey a simple message, they would need to show how CHAMPION DETERGENT protects their clothes from stains! 

Strutting down the catwalk was not just ordinary clothes, it was all made by THE one and only Randy Ortiz; directed by noted Fashion Show Director Jackie Aquino. Do you remember the gorgeous gowns I shot from Philippine Fashion Week? It was all Randy Ortiz, now picture that dress up close and its exactly the feeling shoppers had that afternoon! When the clock struck 3:30pm Maroon 5's Moves Like Jagger suddenly just loudly played and out came models clad in Randy Ortiz made clothes overlayed with tailor made plastic. Models suddenly run amuck and sprayed ketchup, mustard, cheese and mayo with each other. Up the ramp, they simply took it off and eliminated those stains showing some of the best pieces this country has ever seen! The crowd was stunned and didn't realize it was all happening for real. Your champion bar and detergent simply wiped away stains in a jiffy!

As if that wasn't enough they did it again after an hour now mustering a BIGGER crowd. Together with the supermarket's crew and cheers patrons had the chance to pose and take photos with the models later on in a superb showing of force at SUPER8 Supermarket! CHAMPION got its message across and everyone enjoyed the afternoon! I know I would too if I was there! An unexpected third one happened but I didn't get to catch that as well. But its alright, i got my CHAMPION Detergent at home... Maybe I'lll try modeling around my yard later this evening! Haha! :)

You can also do the same and get it too, check out CHAMPION detergent products in your favorite supermarkets nationwide! Congratulations also to Super8 for being the only supermarket to ever pull off a stunt like this in the Philippines!

The Great Outdoors! Hang Ten's Summer-Spring 2012 Collection

Philippine Fashion Week is just around the corner and what glorious way to start the season in my site but by showing you something special this Summer - Spring Season 2012 courtesy of the good people from Hang Ten.

Hang Ten was one of the staple shirts I always have in my closet. Classy and perfect for any day and any occasion. I didn't really run out of it because even my folks tell me I look good in it. It has surpassed just being a classic shirt, even before it was always about the Californian culture. Even from the standpoint of living in a tropical country it wasn't normal to surf here back in the days; and that was one of the reason why I had to have it... why I needed Hang Ten.

This season they its one thing they let you in with that feeling; this time they let you experience how it is to dress up and be in the outdoors. Quite remarkable and impressive right from the get go. Shall we start?

Camp Hang Ten

If you can't get out of town, the next best thing to do is camp out in the woods. That simply commands a couple of things but the essentials are pretty fabulous including the things inspired from the gears and stuff you need to wear in order to survive. In hindsight it is like fashion, sometimes you have to sacrifice in order to look good. Hang Ten on the other hand makes everything comfortable yet they never sacrifice the look. You still have plaid, earth tones, leather and classic Banana Republic looking pieces that's a bang for the buck! Nobody said you need to spend a lot just to look good right? Imagine looking like you just came in from the wilderness, scruffy and all... that's the inspiration and by golly it's proven to bring out good looks as usual!

Just HOT!

Cotton Project

Think about the role of Wolverine in the popular XMEN series. Do you remember the part where he was a woodsman? If you see the aesthetic that runs into the style of their clothes, that's exactly the inspiration this other collection from Hang Ten runs. Plaid has never been better, so does the jeans. It's so nice to see feeling the breeze all over again whilst wearing some pieces from this joint.

Escaping the norm and getting the most comfortable things in your wardrobe is essential. For the rugged ones it'll surely be a hit!

It doesn't have to be complicated. It can actually be just EASY. With Hang Ten you will get it.

Cool!

Heritage Collection

With its roots coming from the Californian side of the world, Hang Ten embraces their heritage by following the surf and sun aesthetic.Why not wear pieces that is intended for the beach, the sand and the waves? It's the perfect way to look sexy without showing too much skin. The outfit lineup in this collection reflects how much they pay homage to something quite unique to the Hang Ten brand.

Hang Ten impressed me with this collection so now it's your turn and rush out your favorite stores/kiosks throughout the country and find out for your self why you love HANG TEN! \m/

A Fun Rockeoke Night With Your Barkada and Greenwich!

I have never been so busy in the office, but going to a place of fun with the whole barkada has always been a treat! It was really nice seeing new people.It was nice gathering and making fools of ourselves every once in a while through good food and a couple of rounds in ROCKEOKE. An acoustic band that can literally play any song you like while singing in front of your new found friends. It's one of the perks I enjoyed going to Greenwich, I can't tell you how many times I said WOW when food came out of the kitchen. Are you ready?

I LOVE Onion Rings so this hot batch was wiped out after a few minutes. I also love how generous Greenwich is in also pairing this up with a Garlic Ranch Dip. Perfect appetizer!

Spicy with the right amount of kick! You won't stop munching on these Buffalo Wings, another favorite on the Greenwich menu. I should know, I had 6 pcs of this!

Make sure you get one of the best pizza's in the Philippines and get overloaded with All Meat and Cheese OVERLOAD! Get the Barkada Size - Thin crust! You won't have any problems making your friends satisfied with their meal!

Of course I would never leave the store without one of my favorites the hot LASAGNA! Oozing cheese, meat and pasta... need I say more? This to me is one of the best comfort foods you can ever find in a fast food joint! I love it!

Desserts come in nice small packages and this one packs a punch! Sweet tooth just got more sweeter with caramel and chocolate with these Frozen Dessert Cups!

My love for pasta is unquestionable. If you frequent some of the food blogs that I go to I always request to have some of the Spaghetti dishes sent to me because that's my favorite! I don't even know how many kilos I have actually devoured in my lifetime but I'm telling you I probably have eaten more of this than rice at home. My whole childhood was based on this LOL! Good thing GREENWICH listened to the clamor for this dish that Filipinos absolutely LOVE! Best of all, it's at a price point incomparable to any other restaurant with the same caliber and amount of pasta!

Would you believe this bowl of pasta only costs 49 Pesos? Yeap! You heard that right! How in the world can something like this cost less than 50 pesos?! Think about thick, sweet, and oh so meaty red tomato based sauce poured over more than the usual amount of pasta (25% MORE)... how can anyone NOT love that??? It's crazy! It's UNBELIEVABLE! It's only at GREENWICH!

A night out with friends or barkada us just bliss! More so if you celebrate life's precious moments with Greenwich. You should try that out pretty soon!
