Beating the Summer Heat Figura Way!!

Last week, a friend contacted me and asked if I can style a shoot for his models. I was hesitant at first because one, I didn't have enough time to prepare,two, it was hard to pull out outfits and lastly, I wasn't at all ready and I don't have time given the heck of my new call center job(I need money). But out of mere randomness and extreme passion for fashion and boredom maybe, I asked him to send me pictures of the models and wait 'til I decide and come up with a theme for the shoot, also I asked him who the photographer will be and I was thrilled to know that the photographer is almost as young as I am(just a year older) and accomplished quite well enough and is very promising(way to go for both of us). So, without second thoughts, I said yes to the shoot considering the models are good-looking, young and very promising as well. Spring-summer 2012 trends like prints-over-brights, ab peek-a-boo and the white minimalism trends and sexy androgynous dominate the whole vibe of the shoot while still holding back making it age appropriate and easy to wear considering that we are in the tropics. It was super fun doing the shoot, the whole vibe of the day was just us playing and doing dress-up and taking fun photographs but still professionally done and level of expertise is visible and is possessed by everybody in the shoot. It is really good to work with fun people with same passion, same interests and same ideas most especially same age with same vibe.
