From Strange Girls by Nicky Roa
Brief Encounter
"Ryann Reyes came over and shot me—point blank." said Nicky Roa as I did a portrait series for and him with his amazing new bleached hair. This time, it was me who asked him this favor. And I'm glad he didn't say no. I've always wanted to photograph him ever since I got to know him, I'm glad it finally came true. I wanted the photos to be clean but still has a gritty personality to it. As Nicky described the shoot in his blog, saying "We shot at my place, with only the natural light from my windows as our lighting. I wore my own clothes (or not much of em) and went on from there. Posing was easy. I do it all the time on shoots - Behind the camera. But it's my turn now!" And when his turn came, he did not disappoint. Now he can rightfully add Model to his resume, along side Designer and Stylist.

One Fine Day
This shoot made me feel like I was traveling back in time to the 1940's. It was my first time to have a shoot that had a vintage concept. I felt like I was Jane Crawford or Marlene Dietrich strutting my knee length skirt and trousers. (and I loved it!). I totally loved my look that was made by the magical hands of Victor Reed. He concentrated on the dark lips and stayed light on the eye-make up. I loved how it worked out. The clothes during the 1940's were very simple and practical since it was during the war days. I also loved how Nicky was able to give me both a feminine and masculine look in these photos. The inspiration of Nicky Roa, stylist and visionary of the shoot, was dowdy and drab -- which basically means a lot of vintage flowers. This is Nicky's "dream shoot" since it shows his style and aesthetic as a designer.
The talented photographer, Ryann Reyes, was able to capture wonderful pictures and made them seem very surreal. I really loved how these photos turned out to be. He was really able to achieve what Nicky was aiming for. I'm absolutely impressed with his works (again) and I'm sure you guys love his photographs too. It is indeed very overwhelming to know that this is Ryan's favorite shoot to date and I'm part of it. *kilig*
Anyway...Have a fine day, everyone!
