I love outdoor photos!
How can I not? I can sit on the grass and look anywhere but the camera and boom, great picture. Not because of my prowess in modeling, if I possess such a thing, but the credit mainly goes to the sun for illuminating my skin in all the right places and to the trees for swaying in the background with a grace that beats mine. Of course, the skills of the photographer is a given, also the amount of difference post processing can give. But you get me, don’t you?
I’ve been mentioning repeatedly how crazy the weather here in the city is. It has been raining all day and signs of stopping are nonexistent. It will continue for days, according to the news. Oh please, don’t let this be an Ondoy Repeat.
July gave Manila a month-long cuddle weather and with that, I’ve been layering my outfits with cardigans and blazers. I also couldn’t resist pullovers – they are just so comfy and easy to wear.
But how can I glam up a simple sweater? Last thing I would want to do is to show up looking like I came straight from bed.
I’m very erratic when it comes to my self-portrait lookbook/outfit shots. I’ve been standing in front of my white wall since forever, one time I started putting wallpapers on the wall via photoshop, I’ve been montaging myself in rendered interiors even. Now I don’t know what to do. One thing for sure, I will still be standing in front of the wall – thinking of repainting but that would be a hassle right now.
I don’t get photographed everyday. Therefore, when an opportunity arises, I always grab the chance to showcase one of the things I love doing — styling. I used to spend time, money and effort shopping for clothes I will use. This time though, I did not have those to spare. Luckily, I have some new purchases from Hongkong and some old stuff I could use. The only item I bought especially for this shoot was the corset top on which I revolved everything else around.
