published-Statement (take 2)

bought a copy of 07/08 Statement Mag issue yesterday. happy to find that both assignments were published and included in that issue.

did i mention on my previous post that i'm really thankful and happy for the experiences cause i have benn learning a lot from each assignment i receive?

here are my shots for the magazine (except for the cover of course) :p


(although, picture of Tricia was flipped.. hmm....)

articles by Jethro Trogo (Tricia) and Kris Andres (Sanso).

as i've said, i have very limited gears. but it proved to be an advantage for my third assignment (Sanso's profile portrait).. we did the shoot in his studio. there were a lot of paintings (his works) in his studio and the space to setup light and all is very limited. having only a 6 foot light stand, a shoot through umbrella and an external canon speedlite 430ex were ideal for the scenario.. they are my best buddies anyway.. :D

yey! hope that i get more assignments in the future.. :D
