Ryan Chua Shoot No. 2

Model: Hanna. MUA: Christina Chen. Hair: Noelle Lynne. Stylist: Angel Phillips.
Photography Assistant: Mike Polce. Jewelry courtesy of the Jody Humes Collection

Ryan contacted me previously about working on a magazine shoot with him last weekend, I told him I had a wedding earlier that day and that if it were in the afternoon I could help him out.

anyways here are some of the photos from behind the scenes~*

The concept was edgy jewelry (supplied by Jody who's got amazing taste in jewelry and funnily enough she's a school teacher! ^_^) matched with vintage nightgowns that Angel had been collecting since highschool!! they're all authentic stuff! :D loved them~*

The model was super cute and fun to work with :) and Noelle did an awesome job with making her hair airy and softly waved!

As far as makeup goes, Angel wanted SUPER fresh faced minimalistic angelic makeup~* which I did by just making her skin flawless with Graphtobian's HD foundations and giving her a fresh rosey glow with the Makeupforever HD creme blushes :) She had quite a bit of breakout from her skin reacting to the change in Climate from moving to SF~ but after applying the foundation it looked perfect!!

I layered on some light pink lipstick with a Chanel lipgloss ~* and powdered her with the Cover F/X loose powder I just bought from Sephora! (it is rather shimmery so you have to watch the usage for photographs)

We shot 5 outfits I believe~* here are some pics I took during the shoot:
we started indoors at Angel's awesome studio ~ :)



ahh such bedroom eyes~



we kept playing with Angel's doggy Bandit! soo adorable!




went out side her window and took soe more shots~ hehe it was quite chilly in SF and the poor girl was wearing that thin nightgown haha but it was sexy though~! :)



*hah look at us in all our warm jackets*
she was a trooper and didn't even complain once!







the white one is beautiful~ her on the stairway ..so angelic!









angel had some legit old old old school polaroids! and was using them to take some awesome shots herself!


:D

she said coz its so old she doesnt know how long it takes to develop it..it's all by chance hah whether u get the photo to develop or not haha


*a photo within a photo within a photo*

either way they were amazing~*




and I saw this little tearshaped deco on her table hehe so cute too!



:) until next time
[peace]

a sneak peek of

what I did with photographer Ryan Chua and Brazilian Beauty(Look (SF)Next(LA)Elite (Miami)) Paula Newlands yesterday in SF and then later on I rushed down to the South bay area to hold another shoot with mr. Rummy M and Chinese beauty (Ford model) Ying Fu~~ We did two looks in each shoot, as Ryan had another shoot in the morning so we only had a few short hours before I had to drive back to the south bay to my second shoot. Sadly it was super rushed (esp since the hairstylist had thought it was a night shoot X_X so we had to scramble and quickly curl her hair as well) and I wasn't really sure exactly what was expected of me so I just did one natural-esque commercial style shoot (but the stylist had provided all "BEBE" clothings for the shoot that day so I felt like anything TOO "commercial" (natural) wasn't going to fit it the clothes very well.

Here are some BTS photos I took of the boys (Ryan and his friends Mike and Phillip) snapping away~



and two pics of Paula posing in her crazy arched boots on a steep slope X_X on a cold windy day in SF at Golden Gate Park : the boys even had to help her down coz it was so steep...




~~ *(she even walked into two huge spider webs as she was posing X_X ) I salute to the models



I tried editing them a bit so they look a bit better than something that just rolled out of my little camera

oh yah she brought her doggy Lexi as well! such a cute little poochie


was rushing back so forgot to take a pic of the 2nd look~ Oh well~

haha and then here are the two looks we did for Ying ~ (one simple beauty with a twist or should I say "braid" of fashion) Her agency wants her to build her beauty/fashion book now (previously they had only categorized her as a commercial model due to her sweet smile and friendly look)


so this was the first look we did for her :(i edited it to make the darkground darker so it doesnt look like..ugh.. my dining room/kitchen LMAO!)




the photographer saw me wearing OCC's "grandma" and loved it so told me to do it on Ying hehe since we wanted something just to show her lips ~ the inspiration photo was a bronzed girl with a piece of beautiful jewelry across her face ~ just showing her lips so to make things interesting I braided her hair with a piece extension across her face as a "mask" hahaha, the pink matched her sundress as well~ (unintentional) not like the photos will have the pink since it's a beauty shot~ more like this:



the second look we wanted to do blue bling lips from some other inspirational photos ^_^ and somehow it ended up looking like this:



lol Ying is so cute haha she really liked the bling lips just like me ! (haha I think girls are just easily amused by shiny things... LMAO~~* She reminded me of "Dorthy" from Finding Nemo LMAO


hahahaha she's tan so we thought we might turn her "pale" in post ...hopefully the photographer does a better job than me LMAO!:



who knows, either way I look forward to the final edited shots ~~ <3
