Last Sept 19, we had a photoshoot for Catlyn's debut at their home at 4C Enterprises building, San Roque (the tallest building in San Roque). The theme is Paris Fashion Week so it is the usual glam shot and fashion portraits. We used the photos for the looping backdrop which is laid out like a magazine with matching captions and titles. Here are some photos ranging from Punk Rock style to the elegant Fashionista look.

Wow. It's already October, which usually means it's fiesta pilar and finals season for me. Now its all about work work work! Post-September for me was a busy one. I finished 2 album layouts for mr. jouie, had event coverages, did errands for 2 big contests here in the city, and ended it with a party for my mom's birthday. Post-september and pre-october is a fashionable one for me. The fashion fever started when we had post-debut video and photo shoots for Catlyn, whose party theme was Paris Fashion Week. We did the glamorous trailer which also served as the official invitation. Then we had an event coverage, which is the fashion show, Fashion Revolution, a grand fashion event headed by the alumni assoc of claret. Then we also sponsored two fashionable contests, 2010 Miss Zamboanga Pageant and Top Model Search (The Mannequin) where we covered the whole event (from screening to contest proper for a minimal fee), created the AVP's for the contest proper, and designed the posters for the event. It was such a funny experience being the AVP guy, imma tell you about it soon. We also had a fashion indoor shoot with some models for Donald Green's collection. After the photoshoot with the models, we had a pre-debut indoor shoot which is a first for us. Then we also covered her debut party which was at freakin Ipil, which is three hours away from the city. But i really enjoyed her party :D And to top it all, my favorite tv show ANTM Cycle 15 already started (which i watch at youtube coz we don't have a cable channel at home that match airs the show). However, i was disappointed because we weren't able to watch the Zamboanga Mascota fashion show and competition because we had an event coverage a while ago. Anyways, i guess the fashion fever is finally over, and the fiesta fever will soon come to me. I'm looking forward to see the annual regatta (race of vintas) and street dance competition next week. October will be a fun month, i guess. We will also be busy in preparing the fast approaching Mindanao Bloggers Summit (register now!). I think we're not prepared yet but i hope we will get through our busy-ness and finally focus with this event. I really hope it'll be a successful one. So that's it, imma leave you with one of the AVP's that we did for Miss Zamboanga where the candidates introduced their selves not in the traditional way. It's past 3 in the morning and i want to blog more but i have to rest now. I'll post the photos and video's of all of these happenings soon. Good day!

Today is my mom's birthday! I cannot describe how important she is to me. I've been searching for quotes but nothing can express the way i feel of having her as my mom. She is the person closest to my heart. In her i get my inspiration, my comfort in times of trouble and joy that brightens up my day. She is my best friend. I always feel like a baby even though i'm all grown up now. I love her so much! To my beautiful mama, thank you for the undying care and love for us. Thank you for everything! Wishing you good health and happier years to come! Love you so much! No profession is greater than being a mother. They have the biggest pay of them all, the priceless love that we have for them.

Zamboanga City is slowly becoming western mindanao's fashion capital. Last September 17, 2010, all fashion designers in the city has gathered to show off their latest collections in a one-night dinner fashion show. Organized by the Alumni Association of Claret School of Zamboanga, the fashion show dubbed as Fashion REVOLUTION is a one of a kind event that focuses on the talent that the local designers has to offer. Also, Zamboanga's finest top models were also there to showcase their skills in the runway wearing their high fashion outfits. The night was also filled with other talents like singing, dancing and acting by the students of Claret. This event is surely a good jumpstart for Zamboanga designers to be gathered and to be able to showcase their master pieces to the public. It's also a way to raise awareness of the fashion industry here in the city. Here are the photos of the fashion show. More photos after the jump.

September 18, 2010 - It's a rainy day so almost all shots are indoor. This is our fourth onsite video production and our first event coordinated by EverAfter (Sam and Al). This is also our first time to work with C-Works Studio and Mr. Kerwin Baldovino. The wedding is held at the St. Joseph Parish Church and the reception is at Garden Orchid Convention Center. We thought we were late because we came a couple of minutes from the call time but still we were early. While waiting at the lobby, we had a little brainstorming and took our late breakfast. Hooray for Hot Choco! We started shooting with the details and tried to deviate from the usual styles. We were also adjusting from the new people we are working with. These people are really my inspiration because they are the top people in the business. Talking about inspiration, i didn't expect this day would be full of inspiration. :D a smile can really lighten a gloomy day. Anyways, going back to the wedding, i really loved the reception. From event design to food choice, everything was amazing. I also enjoyed the flowing cocktails in the open bar. And before the night concludes, our video presentation was showed. Its an amazing feeling to see our work in those screens. So without further ado, here's the video.

Here are the full set of prenup photos of Jonald and Cathy, whose wedding onsite video and photos i posted recently. Since these photos will be used for the wedding, we didn't post it yet until the wedding so it wont be spoiled. :D The location of the photoshoot is at the west coast of the city in a resort in Brgy. Zambowood, the Woodland resort. The concept is pretty simple, just classic portaits together with their lovely daughter, Jodie.

03 September 2010 - My first onsite editing. it was almost cancelled in the last minute because of the stupid incompetent machine that i was using. The software got crazy minutes before the presentation, i guess, because of low memory. But thank God because we made it through and the video was really appreciated. So here is the video. Enjoy!

We also had a photobooth which is our first (and, i guess, our last). Here are some photos in the fun photobooth. More photobooth photos here.

Dear blog, sorry if i dont have anything to post this few days. I have been very busy with meetings and layout for wedding albums. Last week, I finished one album already and i still have to wait for the approval of the client. I hope they like the design and layout because it is really graphical and colorful. The the theme is retro or vintage raging from victorian designs to psychedelic sixties pop art. This week im making a layout for a client of another photographer who we use to work with during weddings. I will feature him soon :D This album doesn't really have a theme so it will be just a simple, elegant layout with a touch of my modern design. I have two more albums to layout and hopefully i will finish them by the middle of the month. Oh yeah, its already September! Oh how time flies quickly. This month, well be having a couple of events including a wedding this friday where i will do the editing for their onsite video. We will also have an improvised photobooth where we will use a Canon Selphy Printer. I already designed the layout for the photo-souvenir and backdrop for the booth, and i also made the growing up video presentation. Tomorrow, i will prepare the video loop which will used as a backdrop for the stage during the reception. So thats it, dear blog. Ill be blogging more of my works and experiences soon after all these mayhem. I gotta lot of things to blog but i have to rest now so imma leave you with a preview of the retro-themed album that i was talking about. :D Truly yours, csz97. ^^
