Hello Productivity: Conceptual Photog Plate 1!

 

 

 

Photography & Post-Processed by: Me, Trisha Salonga.(Aywow)
Make up: T. Salonga
Model: Sharlane Balao

Hello my friends, this is my first plate for our Photography 4 subject handled by Sir Jun Barrameda (Hi sir!), for conceptual photography. The funny thing is I was really unprepared that day I only had a liquid eyeliner, concealer and bronzer that day and I had no model, so good thing my beautiful friend and classmate here, Sharlane Balao modeled for me. She was uncomfortable at first cos she's not really used on being the model (but the photographer). AND good thing our college has a studio inside and we can use it for free, freeloaders. Hahah, and we just played loud music for mood starters.

Can I just say, her beauty is so effortless--and the way she posed for me, in short the shoot was fast and was happy about the results. Love you girl. Our next plate will be product photography, so watch out for that.

Au Revoir,

Trisha!

Hello Productivity! : Production Plate

Traditional art by Trisha Salonga

Cause of Motivation: Alexandria Lekias

 Introducing, Alexandria Lekias! The brains behind these amazing illustrations of women in goth dresses.

Last November 2010, Perth artist and illustrator Alexandra Lekias’ Sydney exhibition, “Lifelong Baby Teeth”, opened at the Friends of Leon Gallery in Surry Hills. An exhibition of these wonderful illustrations below.

 In her exhibit she has shown 12 illustrations which she said had taken 400 hours each to create--no wonder, her work is so detailed. Intriguing and eye-catching at the same time. This is something that I would want to post on my wall, seriously, There's a balance between the  monochromatic scheme of the girls dressed in Victorian kind of dresses (or can be Gothic) and the rainbow-y colors that overflows from their eyes or mouth.

The artist herself. As you can see, the characters in her art reflect on what she wears. You'll see photos of her with really kickass accessories, that I think she made. Like this:

Right? Wow Alexandria is one talented gal.

Au Revoir,

Trisha!

Hello Productivity!: Octonaut!

Ian Alejandro Abaya and I collaborated for our Production plate for Photographic Printing, boy it was expensive! But we had a lot of fun doing it. The concept is an astronaut got "infected"--ergo became--tadaaa--and Octonaut.

Au Revoir,

Trisha!

So where's the forehead?

Fringe, fringe, fringe.

Since I don't want to post my previous photos, I just made a collage of my favorite photos from the previous years. Ohhh, vanitehhh.

Q:So Trisha? Why can't you show your forehead? 

A: Actually nothing's wrong with my forehead,  I'm not really that pimply, it's zee eyebrows I'm hiding, I never liked it. 

Q: So this is your 'do since birth?

A: LOL, OA, ha! No, I got my bangs back during my junior year in highschool, and back then I had really short hair.

So berryyy beeeyn.

Hello productivity: Leica Brochure by yours truly.

Front cover

Back cover

This is  my finals for our PEM subject, we were required to make a multi-page brochure.
Boy, spell meticulous. Before making this, I spent 3-4 hours in research and finding high-res photos of the product. Then another 3-4 hours spent in Adobe Indesign (Bitches loooove Indesign).
Take a peek inside:


It cost me Php 540.00 just to print these. But all worth it, I'm happy to the results. Lourd's Print shoppe I love you.

Cause of motivation: Fafi

Heart-shaped blush + curvy girls + colorful hair = Fafinette

Fafi is a French graffiti artist from Toulouse whose graffiti was first witnessed in her hometown walls back 1994. You call her girl characters Fafinettes, Fafinettes can be described as aggressive, sexy and funny.

Fafi and her fafinette

She had influenced a lot of graffiti artists worldwide, even in my school (UST) I think, we have an upper classman  who is also a graffiti artist who is strongly influenced by Fafi. (I'm not that sure, but it shows in her graffiti around the manila and Cubao area)

I first discovered Fafi from 2009's issue of Status Magazine--where in her Fafinette is the cover.

Fafi for Status Magazine

Fafi for MAC

Whenever I see her drawings, it reminds me how fun and adventurous girls can be, probably because of the flamboyance of the color palette. And whenever I see her art it really motivates me. Damn, so many talented people in the world!

"..made the whole world look and help kick-start a whole new graphic language; by exploring feminity through stereotypes, and using it to her advantage, she drew enormous attention and thus started to travel the world with thousands of Fafinettes in her brushes and paint cans. "- Fafi.Net

Remember Remember the 5th of November

Remember, Remember the 5th of November, gun powder treason and plot. I know of no reason Why the gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot. 

 Belated Happy Halloween! This is our Halloween tribute!
And here I was, in a Guy Fawke's mask. I watched V for Vendetta once more, after that Halloween party we attended to last week! They say the mask suits me, because of the hair, in the movie V had the same blunt bangs--only shorter.
Man, I want his old school jukebox (if only I had more space in my room!!) AND I want to learn how to cook what V made--a toast with a sunny side up egg attached to it, what do you call it anyway? Forgive.
Since the party is for kids only, my brother and I stayed at a conference room in our dad's office in Makati (Phil. Stocks Exchage Bldg) The camwhore fun fun fun starts here.

 Come on, forgive! I always take pictures of other people.
And here are the photos of my brother that I took, Esquire magazine much? :))

He calls this "The Tyler Durden" shot, --Fight Club reference. LOL

HA. Pizza face!

Speakig of pizza (LOL), Here ya go, the Pizzeria/Pizza place in Glorietta that I mentioned earlier. I'm tellin' ya, the pasta there (one serving) can feed 3 persons. The pizza = To die for. I don't know if it will give you that New York vibe, but it's their theme.

 
Delissschhhzzz.
