What You Won't See In Uno Magazine

.

Hitting magazine shelves this November is the photoshoot Art did for Dana's brands of footwear in collaboration with Uno Magazine. KC styled the whole thing and Dana/KC/Art insisted I tag along as the resident kibitzer/intrimitido. It was a fun shoot and when I say fun I mean everyone's nerves were on hyperdrive due to overcaffeination. We improvised the sittings within Dana's kingdom, flanked by the Baranggay Tanod outpost and the clustered shanties of surrounding urban misfortunates. Charming neighborhood, I must say. The entire time we were busily glancing over our shoulders, half-expecting an Indian pana to sink in our necks. No, that one is not true. I'm teasing Dana!

KC has the scans from the magazine (I posted some teasers before) and I thought I'd post some of the images that didn't make it to the printed mag. (Also I desaturated the postings here)

Dreaming In Copper And Resin

Complete boredom had me poking around the filters menu in photoshop and conveniently I was able to dig from the old files archive a shoot we did for the magazine featuring Ming Ong's ornately constructed jewelry art worn by the lovely Farrah Ramos. Here's what I came up with. (Take note: this is not the final layout for the image it was intended for. This is an 'exercise' layout because my brain is approaching terminal stage of atrophy from underuse.) We will be staging an official shoot for the new concepts we developed for Ming's Obra line which will be used for the advertising campaign/editorial releases very soon. We are still casting/scouting for male and female models to be shot by Art Abraham. (Interested folks who would want to model for this, do drop Ming or myself a line.)
