This is one of my earlier fashion editorials with Men's Health. The photographer was Jay Yao, he is based in New York. I have heard of his name before, and have seen his name in print in several covers and editorials. So it was pretty exciting for me that I got to work with him!
We all arrived at Patty Eustaquio's house at around 2:15. Before I even met her, I was aware of her clothes line and her designs, so it was an honor to meet her. Patty is now the president of YDG.
When Paulo (the hairstylist) and I got to work with her makeup and hair, it only took us a short time to get her ready. Patty had clear, soft skin that I hardly put anything on her face. I only applied tinted moisturizer on her face and blended Lancôme's Pop Cherub eye palette just to add depth to her gorgeous, already deep-set eyes. On her lips, I only applied little color and gloss. On her cheeks, I used a gel blush to make her look naturally flushed, then lightly dusted loose powder on top of it.
Patty already knew how to pose for picture so it was a pretty fast shoot. VJ didn't have any trouble shooting her, the weather cooperated with us so lighting was great too. We were in and out of there for a total of 2 hours! Hehehe... I had a great time shooting this one because it was simple, and Patty was so very nice. Also, I haven't worked with Ray in so long that it was so fun to see him again!

I did this 4 page holiday feature for Preview Magazine last December 2006. It was the first time I worked with Lilen Uy the photographer, and I was reunited by contributing stylist Raymond Abrenica.
Hairstylist pioneer and legend Ogie Rayel did the hair. I have worked with him in several shoots already so we have become friends. Anyway, our models were Luke Jicain and Polyanna from Brazil. We shot the whole day because we had to change hair, makeup, clothes, and set every layout! It came out amazing...
