Spotlight on Jamie: photo shoot

cap

A little bit lengthy blog post for these pretty photos taken by my awesome brotha from anotha motha, Vincent Paul Echano! Can't decide which photos to include since it's too plenty for one blog post, but I ended up posting many anyway! Hihi.

Just before 2013 ended, my resident photographer Paul and I decided to have a photo shoot for fun, since it's beneficial for both of us anyway. Me as a fashion blogger, and him as a photo blogger. We enjoyed it to bits! The shoot was full kwento, laughs and adventures. We shot this early in the morning at the famous gimmick-an place in Naga City, the Magsaysay Avenue.

We've never thought that there were already a number of people and vehicles in the place at an early hour! We ended up shooting with people around looking weirdly at us. Mehe~ We're really weird anyway, so yeah...

I just love how my photographer friend and I discuss fashion and photoshoot themes whenever we get to talk online or even in person. So expect more shoots with him in this blog. This guy's one awesomesauce duckling. (You guys should totally check out his photoblog and click follow! He's the coolest, really!!! *u*)

Been planning to wear this coordinate as soon as I found the awesome midriff top I'm wearing here. I'm pretty sure I've seen this on different international online shops, but I just got this at a thrift store! Awesome right?!

I've been liking the hipster style also- coinciding with my style shift. I think it's just so cool and undeniably comfy with so much attitude. I so like hand-combing my hair whenever I'm on hipster style. It's like 'yeah guys just being cool' Hahaha! /just kidding :3

If there would be such a thing like The Jamie 2.0, I'd be glad to have it this year. It would be like the braver, bolder, fiercer (lol maybe not the fiercer hihi) and stronger Jamie. 2013 had been a roller coaster ride for me. Lots of new experiences and attainments, but it kinda ended roughly tho. But yeah, maybe 2014 is my year? I just gotta make it my year.

So yes! Here's a jumpstart blog post on Spotlight on Jamie! So far, I think I'm starting my year right. Hope you're doing well with it too! Life's too short to waste your youth being scared and not taking risks. You've got to taste something that we call life. Don't let a day pass without giving yourself happiness. Because we're only young once. We only live once. #YOLO

Free-Spirited

So sorry for being away for more than two weeks? I've been really uninspired to blog lately. Maybe with my busy schedule, and also with personal issues. No, I don't have a life-and-death situation right now. I've been just thinking a lot of my career. I'm really in the dilemma right now. To employ or to start my own business? To continue fashion or to find something else? Do I really have a future in these? What do I really want? or just pursue what I would need?

Few days from now, I'll say goodbye to my third year in college. I have to prepare myself now to my last year in college! Yes, I'm that old even though I don't look that old. After a year from now, I'll be in the real world... and I know I have to start making my decisions now for my future. These things made me ..I don't know, a little disturbed? or more like nervous! but there's also that excitement. Hmm? Anxiousness..

But hey! I found these photos from last year, just two months ago, from my photo shoot with a great photographer Jan Keifer Jaim. My styling for this photoshoot is Boho. Boho style is known for loose, flowy silhouttes, environmentally conscious clothing, ethnic jewelries, warm, earthy color tones, and most of all, being free-spirited! Free-spirited people are someone who isn't weighed down by the troubles of everyday life, is always themselves regardless of the situation and lives life to the full. Not restricted by other people's opinions. Ha! I remember myself being like that! and I just found my free-spirited self again when I found these photos!

Keifer is a really great photographer. Well, you can see that in these photos right? He uses both digital and film cameras, if I'm not mistaken. He's friendly when I first met him in the internet, but quite shy in person. But you can live with it. He takes just really few shots, which I find new because I used to take a lot of shots when I do outfit shots just to have 5 usable shots. Hee~ But Keifer noticeably knows what he's doing. I noticed that he doesn't talk much, but as a model, you would feel he knows what he is doing and just trust him with he's work.

And ta-da! I'm so happy with the result! My peg for my second outfit in Keifer's shoot is country! Taylor Swift-ish with the guitar. Yea~ with the log cabins in the background! I feel so happy with these photos! I love them to bits! I've always dreamt to have a photo shoot with a guitar. Hihi. Thanks to Keifer who made this happen!

Anyhoo, Keifer also does collaborations, portfolio, conceptual, artistic, advertisement and commercial work. Just contact him thru his blog.

I hope you all liked this comeback post! Hopefully, I'll get back to my weekly blogging again. I have a lot of unposted outfit photos! Better process them now, and feed you with my fashion! Thanks for still reading my blog. You don't know how I really appreciate it. Really. :')

xx, Jamie
