It was a whole day of shoot going to different Quezon City landmarks like UP Diliman, QC Circle, Katipunan Avenue, Welcome Rotonda (yes, Welcome-Rotonda) and MRT North Edsa-Trinoma station. Working with these models was a breeze because some of them I have already worked with in my previous events and styling jobs! If you think that styling a shoot is easy, think it many, many times, it's not all about glamour, working behind the scenes can be so very tedious. I am not a professional stylist but from the countless styling jobs I attended an experience is always the best teacher.

Here's a piece of advise: You have to work with the model's body type, it doesn't mean that if a wardrobe looks fabulous it doesn't follow that it will look good on the model, you have to know with your subject's body or facial asset and you will work on that plus in my case I always ask the model if they'll be comfortable on what they will wear so can they can project and communicate well with the camera. For example if a model has a prominent collar bone let the model wear a strapless gown and a bold chandelier earrings, rest assured she will stand out.
