La hija única

It has been a while since I’ve made videos of this kind resulting from the lack of time brought by my job . The closest that I’ve gotten to shooting videos so far is for the travel show which I work for as a freelancer, whenever I can. 

This is a product shot for an upcoming Filipino jewelry designer whose launching her second line entitled “Maja”, an imprint of her two first names.

While making this video, I am beginning to think that my niche can be in product shots. When I was apprenticing for Jason Magbanua, I would often times disappear with the shooter, kuya Elson, during the wedding preparations. Along with another videographer and two more photographers, we were in charge of taking product shots of the rings, the bouquets, the bridal gown, her shoes and whatever non-person elements that come into play.

I remember just being so drawn to it that I lose track of time and even forget that the main priority in shooting a wedding is the bride and her family during mornings - trying to calm their nerves, eagerly anticipating to that moment that escalates into what can be called as “happiness”.

Enjoy this video. I had tons of fun shooting it with Janina, the designer, herself, her househelpers and my friend, Nicole, who lives just a few houses away from her. Cheers!
