Aside from weddings, we also get to do other commercial work such as Magazine covers, features, ad campaigns, fashion editorials and TV commercials. This is the part where we get to cross over to the “other side” and collaborate with the fashion and advertising world heavyweights. Above is the latest issue of Stella Magazine with TV celeb Rhian Ramos. After being shown hair and makeup pegs, I walked over to the clothing rack and took a quick scan of the accessories laid out on the table. Doing so gives me a good idea of what the magazine is trying to convey for this month’s mood but most importantly, my brain goes into a quick scan for a reference material. Tucked in one corner of my subconscious is an imaginary rolodex, I suddenly remember a movie entitled “The Lover”. For some odd reason, the Rhian they want her to be is reminding me very much of a young Jane March. The clothes are breezy and lolita-esque with splashes of summer and youth. The look we are going for today should say the same without grabbing too much from the clothes and most importantly, from the girl. Rhian, the chameleon, pulls off the shoot with ease…she always does.
Here’s a movie poster from my movie reference…
