CL shoot

Yesterday I accomplished my first shoot for Condo Living. In the upcoming issue we will be featuring hopefully the "yummiest" Gift Guide ever! Wednesday- Lian (assistant editor of CL) and I went to the Divisoria to buy props for the shoot. We found this stupendous jungle of fake foliage and flowers, from which we got almost everything we needed! Tita Judy provided stuff from her own home too.

It's so convenient to have a relative who has resources which truly help our team. We stored our products in Tito Manolo's art gallery, and it's the same place we shot in. Sadly, we don't seem have any space in the office. Sining sa Sulong is just the right size and floor for us to assemble and shoot in.

I realize how less stressful it is to shoot inanimate objects. And how nice it is that Condo Living is a quarterly magazine-we have ample time in our hands to prepare for shoots. Last Thursday (the day before the shoot) we already went to the gallery to plan each layout and to determine which appliques that match each set of products. And the order they're to be shot. Hence the Friday shoot went on really smoothly and we ended earlier than anticipated! To top that, we were fed very well in Panciteria San Jacinto- we ate yummy shrimp balls and spicy pork ribs!

Watch out the the next issue of Condo Living! I promise for it to be a visually well-made mag, worth every penny, and very informative.
