BTS: Cecile Zamora Van Straten for Spark Magazine

Here are some BTS images that I took from Ms. Cecile's photoshoot for SPARK. We shot at the Finale Art File where, at that time, works of Veleria Cavestany were being featured. Ms. Cecile aka Chuvaness brought her own wardrobe (awesome!) that we hardly supplement what would she be wearing for the shoot. Ms. Carla (Spark EIC) had some Comme De Garcons pulls  (ugh, I drool) from, if I'm not mistaken, Homme et Femme. Our covergirl shyly posed in front of photographer BJ Pascual who did a great job btw. The shoot was quite quick for me and less chaotic than what I usually experience from other shoots. Well anyway, I had fun with this one, especially when you get to meet one of Philippine's most influential bloggers. Wee. Yes, I'm a fan.

The night was really fun! and did you notice those SPARK lights? 

Everyone went home with this specially made loot bags by Green Leaf.

 The event was of course attended by SPARK's cover girls Bea Valdes(maiden issue) and Cecile Zamora aka Chuvaness (second issue). There was a short film presented called Shifting Paradigms. The night was real fun. I got to "bond" with the magazine team, and had some real "partying" with them. lol. To everyone who graced the event, thank you! Looking forward to more celebrations like this! Cheers!

Cecile Zamora Van Straten on SPARK Magazine Issue 02

 I can finally reveal our latest cover girl! It's Cecile Zamora Van Straten aka Chuvaness!!!

I was very eager to share this to all of you! Soo excited about it! Upon knowing who would be the next cover girl, I died. It was really such a thrilling experience to shoot Chuvaness. She was so shy the whole time and kept on saying "I'm scared...I'm shy...teach me how to pose." Very humble considering she is today's most influential blogger here in the Philippines. Go grab a copy! haylabet!
