BTS August 30, 2011

The shoot was held in an abandoned building right next to the Betty Go Del Monte LRT station. It was my first time to go inside a building with crumbling stairways, walls filled with graffiti and floors littered with every piece of junk you could imagine - and I loved every bit of it. It was A W E S O M E.

Kath was my official photographer for that day (I was her ~*model*~) and she asked me to prepare an all black ensemble. I actually prepared two outfits but we enjoyed the first one too much, so I ended up not using the other one. No regrets though! At least I can use the other set for another shoot, right? ;) A little trivia. The bottoms I'm wearing in the photo above are actually full length pants, that unfortunately, fall too short on me (hahaha) So I improvised and treated it as a midi! I just couldn't let this one go. I love how comfortable and flowy the fabric is! I'm thinking of getting another one too, and this time, one that will cover all of my lower half. haha!

Anyway, enough of my blabbering. More photos under the cut! :D

Time to shoot!

The night before the shoot, Kath sent me links for possible pegs. This was one of them. I liked it and I asked her if the location we would be shooting in had something similar. Unfortunately, the location "had none" (what Kath texted me back with) But surprised I was when I saw a couch tucked behind a broken banister, and I immediately called out to Kath (I think Kat and Rem though of me weird that time hahaha) while being all happy and enthusiastic. haha! So yeah, that's the story behind this very special couch. Wala lang may masabi lang! haha :P

Poor posture and awkward pose award goes to me.

Kat! :D

Andy, Kath and Kat.

We found another spot to shoot! The building was huge by the way, so finding magical spots wasn't really that hard. Anyway, this part was where my favorite photo was taken. I won't be posting any photos yet until the official ones come out, though. Let's be surprised together! :D

P.S. Look at Andy rocking my floppy hat! hahaha! :))

Me and Kat! :D

My ever supportive best friend, Nerielle <3

The photographers

Another part of the building where another favorite photo of mine was taken in! Are you excited to see them? :D

By the way, most of these photos were taken by my best friend forever, Nerielle! :D She was also the one who did my hair and make up! Thank you for taking these! I love you!

Taking a break while Romeo fixed his settings. I loved this part of the shoot! Amazing reflections!

Can't wait for the photos! :D
