High Roller (PREVIEW Magazine September 2010)

I was waiting for behind the scenes photos from my friend Judd (one of the production designers) but sadly he lost the files :(

Anyway, this editorial was very challenging. First, it's for Preview's September issue (pressure!) and, we wanted to do something of the same quality as our last editorial (Apocalypto); Second, it was the first time I was shooting for Preview without Creative Director/Genius Vince Uy's expert help on-set cause he was in London (believe me when I say that shoots are MUCH, MUCH easier with him); And lastly, we shot in the Resorts World Casino's Training Room and not the actual Casino. Meaning, we had a space that looked like every other boring office space you could think of. So I had to bring yards and yards of curtains from my studio (coincidentally I had brocade curtains so they're perfect for this Royalty-themed shoot, Thanks Cheska!) to conceal the office-y walls, and use my background stands to hold those curtains.

Thankfully it turned out nice and by the end of the day, we were really happy with it!!!

Apocalypto (PREVIEW Magazine June 2010)

This was shot for Preview's 15h Anniversary Issue (I'm majorly backlogged, I'm still blogging about June work haha!), which I was super happy and thankful to be a part of! More drama later. lol.

Anyway, it was my first time working with then relatively new model, Pauline. She instantly became a favorite. She's a natural. For real. And I've even used that word to describe anyone before. She just has FASHION written all over her.
 
Definitely one of my favorite editorials so far.

Wow, it's only been 5 years since I bought my first issue of Preview, which was their 10th Anniversay Spectacular (I still have the copy with me, complete with the Swarovski crystals on the cover!). It was the thickest local magazine i've held back then. all 10 cover stars had their own full-blown editorial inside the magazine. Back then it was the most fantastic thing I've ever seen on this little side of the world. A lot can happen in 5 years pala. Now, I'm actually shooting for them. Grabe. Thank you.

Billie Jean (PREVIEW Magazine April 2010)

My first ever fashion editorial for one of my favorite fashion magazines, Preview! I still remember how excited I was when they asked me to do an editorial for them, and how the night before the shoot I couldn't sleep cause I was so excited, and how despite the long day I was still all smiles throughout.

These are a bit low res cos I just scanned them but anyway, here they are: A little bit of Amy, a little bit hillbilly, and a whole lot of denim...
















I was at the Preview office last week cause of a shoot, and Vince showed me the proofs of our next editorial, which is coming out next month as part of their Anniversary issue! I want to show you guys but sadly I can't just yet. I can't wait till June!
