Welcoming the New Year with photographer friends at the country's Universal Studio, the Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife @  Miller Daniolco's Picture Perfect, was a fun way to pour out our passion.   Meeting Jeffty Bulanon, 2014's Best HMUA of the Asia Pacific Award with Model Kristine Abigael Ramos, the 2014 Best Young Runway Model by the People's Choice Award (who we shall feature later), challenges us once again to a hgih level shoot.    Meanwhile, we requested Jeffty to a Make-Over of our chosen model, Ana Nuñez, a 21-year old BS Tourism graduate of STI Novaliches standing 5'5", 32- 24 -34, who has been modeling in Car Shows, Photoshoots and at times appears in tapings for film and TV shows.  The result was perfect!

Jhoanna Rose Borja Matias Debut Project - High Fashion Make-Over and Photography

Jhoanna Rose Borja Matias, was actually a model.  It was her life long dream to become a model, event specialist  and a fashion consultant.  She has been joining Beauty Pageants and contests in the Barangay   since her high school days and has learned the basic of the craft at an early age, but was  not really aware of the intricacies of fashion, beauty contests, image making and its related activities until she joined Itsura Advocacy for Responsible Imaging recently with her friend, Vhie Solsona, of the VLS Printshoppe.  With support of her friend Vhie, whose mother is a Couture, Jhoanna takes a crack for her first event as HMUA for High Fashion Modelling of the Luisa Yrinco Couture gown collection as HMUA.  

ITSURA: Back to Back w/ MUA Maria Janilyn Bondoc and Model Nette Velasquez

Madam Maria Maria Janilyn Bondoc is a finalist in a Mags Best Dress Contest, Hair and Make-Up Artist,Beauty Consultant and Sales Director at Mary Kay, Events Coordinator, a Teacher and, of course, an active  member of ITSURA Advocacy for Responsible Imaging, who renders Make-Up services in  our events.  She loves modelling, fashion, make-over and kakikayan. Lately, she organized a Photoshoot event  for some children with their parents, in furtherance of our Advocacy.

She has these little kids together with their parents to experience Photoshooting.  It was fun and a learning experience for the kids showing their talents.  It is also helpful in the development of the children's self confidence, a bonding moment for the parents seeing their loved ones having fun posing before the camera. To those afar, the pictures were viewed via facebook.  Its worth the day, rather than spending time in malls, its too expensive, without any memories to be kept in still. 

With model Nette Velasquez, around, we took the challenge to a back to back MUA demonstration of Madam Janilyn Bondoc's Make-Over works on Nette Velasquez.   

Back to Back w/ MUA Donabel De Torres Palmes-Virtucio

Model: Jhoanna Rose Matias Borja
MUA : Donabel De Torres Palmes-Virtucio
Hair Stylist : Armando Abinsay

Producer/Back-Up Photographer : Vie Solsona
Photographer/Mentor : ITSURA Photog Alexander Lohongko

Donabel De Torres Palmes-Virtucio, Beauty Consultant and Sales Director of Mary Kay Beauty Center has been an avid supporter of the ITSURA's advocacy projects.  We have been requested by a Lady Photog, Vie Solsona, if we could undertake a project to couch her to learn Basic Photography. So, with our nice friends around, she have not only learned Basic Photography but also Basic Make-Up with the help of Donabel and a friend, who prepared the hair style of her model.  With the help of seasoned Emo Photog Alexander Lohongko, a tight shooter who loves capturing emotions, she was couched in Emo-Photography Style of Sir Alexander including basic camera settings, color calibration and pre-sets.  It was a memorable experience exposing newbies into high fashion photography.

Couching newbie photographers, especially ladies, into high fashion photography have not been successful without the help of these well meaning people, who supports us in our advocacy.  Lots of preparation is needed from make-over, hair style, clothing, not to mention the photography aspect.  Thank you for this wonderful project.  ITSURA
