One Day in a Maxi Dress

It was another cold day here in the South, and I asked my muse to grace another shoot I had conceptualized. This time, with my dearest friend Adi as my co-shooter. This I find to be quite ironic, mimicking the warm feel of sunshine on a cold December day. I just wanted to evoke the relaxed feel of chilling on a lazy day, but at the same time, not scrimping on style to look the part. This shoot is also my first time to do makeup for a photo shoot, since I took upon the challenge of being the only girl in our group hence the need to practice more on makeup especially for our models ha ha! But kidding aside, I’d like to explore more on what I can do for photo shoots other than just styling and taking photos. I guess people really do take off from one profession and delve into another with the likes of the Photography and Fashion industries. Models turned to photographers, photographers cum stylists, and so on. It’s probably just the circle of life in our professions.

It just occurred to me that this would probably be my last shoot for the year, so here’s to the 2011 that had passed. The shoots, the experiences, the travels and so much more. Looking forward to rocking another fabulous year, filled with more photo shoots, more travels and more opportunities. 2012, we’re ready for you!

This photo, which I call "Dreamscape" portrays my current state of mind. So happy my muse was able to pull if off effortlessly

I've always wanted to do a lifestyle magazine shoot, or be a contributor in the future. The maxi dress perfectly compliments that relaxed look.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a peaceful & prosperous New Year!
