Experiment 2

Experiment

In which the first thing I do is shake Claire's hand

Let me begin by saying I was using a lens that can only be endearingly referred to as "misty 50". This isn't a knock on the lens itself, as I had borrowed it from a good friend, and it served me quite well during the shoot— this is only to say that a relatively (only very slightly) old 50mm 1.8, has unusual rendering qualities. And that we were shooting in the dark, sort of.

(Yes, because clarifying this is what's important in a post where I chronicle my physical proximity to my actual most favorite ANTM contestant.)



As you can see, we're both gorgeous and by that I mean I'm a mess. Don't look at my face (and awful awkward-growing out, post-shoot hair) just look at Claire's beautiful one. (Props to me for looking only slightly nervous though.)

If you can get your hands on Manila Bulletin's issue today (go out and buy one, I'll wait for you), you can look at Darrel Pobre's (and the stylists Jear De McCuttac and Aisa Ipac and style team's) work in the fashion section of the paper.

Here are some behind the scenes photos:





If you had the chance to listen to the BTS video footage for this shot, you would have heard me and Kim C. discussing our plan to kidnap liberate buy this jacket (above).





Most of my photos have a fuzzy Darrel foreground. :)



The shoot took place at the Jak en Poy PSID Exhibit. Lots of great interiors designed by the graduating class of 2011.





I was really taken by these tubular ceiling fixtures.





Accessories.



More Claire! And Dave Grona who did the hair for the shoot. And Kim Camelo's great legs in the background.



I'll try to post a few more shots soon. I think I've exhausted my blog chattiness for this post.

dark and dandy

We Will Doodle

Rather, they will.

What have I been up to?
