Model Photoshoots: Ups & Downs

Been shooting lately sexy models to hone my photography skills.  Last Saturday, we were about to shoot an up & coming model (?) contacted by a fellow hobbyist.  Yes, it's a planned shoot.  Place, equipment/gears, participants, model & the talent fee were discussed. 

To make the story short, the agreed time is 1:00 PM.  Five (5) of us were already at the place beforehand to set up the lights as well as make a concept.  Rob called up the model & asked her location, and she said that she's going to take a bath first.  After 30 minutes, Rob followed up & told that the model is doing her make-up.  More than an hour passed, the model told us that she's on the cab already & on her way.  Christian sensed that there is something wrong with what is happening.  This shouldn't be happenning if a model wanted to be a pro.  Hey, am not saying that we could make her an instant pro or bring her to stardom outright, but who knows!  Three hours passed but still no response from her despite several sms.  Christian even tried to call her but his calls were ignored.  Sensing that we were duped by the "model", Christian immediately called up Ms. Jem Milton & asked if she's free for a shoot.  Oh, what a relief when she said she's coming in an hour. 

Ah, enough for the sentiments.  At least, Ms. Jem Milton saved our day!  "Yan ang professional", quipped many of us.  Here's the result of a supposed bad day that turned out right:

Oh by the way, the duper model's name in the industry is Hotness Mary.  Gosh, she even got the nerve of using a sacred name.

We (Neil, Rob, Christian, Ryan & John) would also like to thank Sir Vince of VC-North.

Thanks for droppin' by peeps!

It's been awhile since the last time I made a blog.  Blame it on my sched as a hobbyist.  I always keep myself busy with photography chuvaness not to mention the addiction with facebook (as most of us does, hehe).

Well, to keep things goin', I'll try this time food blogging(?) or shall I say picture-taking only as am not a chef, neither pretends to know about cooking.  I'll try to relay instead to you dear readers thru very simple "photographical" presentations & I'll leave it to everyone else's imagination how it would taste like. Haha. Honestly, tastes are great and much much worthy of it's price.

Anyway, here it is:

Prices are surpisingly affordable.  So next time when you visit Cagayan de Oro, please drop by at Honeybaked Cafe & Restaurant.  It is located at the ground floor of Will's Place Hotel along Velez St., Cagayan de Oro City.
