Lightworks | A Visual Presentation by the students of Niccolo Cosme

(Late post…again)

Last April 29th, a tiny and beautiful flickers of light gathered at Maria Orosa. It was so beautiful, people went out to see what was this beautiful distraction. Lighthouse Studio was the venue where this commotion was happening. People were amazed with what they saw:–a convergence of the flickers and bang!

Lightworks!

Lightworks is an exhibit of beauty, fashion and portraiture by the students of none other than the renowned fashion photographer and headshot meister, Niccolo Cosme.

The images presented at the exhibit were of the fine students of the first and second workshops conducted by Niccolo Cosme. Congratulations to these individuals for the successful event: Emiko Ono, Gregory Fermont, Larry Faypon, Alvin Adriano, Royd Santiago, Poma Malantic, Goryo Bautista, Loyva Fernandez, Minette Fabian, Keanne Labausa, Doc Tony Comia and of course, *ehem* Dustin Carbonera *silence, cricket sound*.

Again, enough of the words, let these images of the event speak for the a thousand words I would have typed.

Tatiana | Futuristic

Yet again, she was not my model.  But being the salimpusa photog that I am, I did take some shots.

She’s Tatiana, and I was not able to get her last name. She is, as relayed to me, half-Filipina, half-Irish. Nice face, height and posture. She knows how to pose her theme. Not hating, but there are models that needs extra coaching but she was able to think fast and even give some comments. :)

Terri Bivins | Define Ethereal


Terri Bivins

Well, here’s Terri Bivins. She is one model you cannot miss. Just by the way she looks and stands, there is no doubt that you will not see her as a model. She’s only been modelling since, 14 years old. Right now, she’s around 20-something so there. Posing for her is like breathing and yawning. Ha!

Well, she was not my model. This was the shoot of another photog from the first Lighthouse Studio workshop by Niccolo Cosme. And yes, being the echussera (?) person that I am, I took some shots. :) )

By the way, the excellent hair and make-up done by Robert Caindoc of iModels Casting Agency.

Here are other photos of her:

Okay, so it has been long due for me but I have been wanting to become a fashion/portraiture photographer for eons now. So, I am making my bold move. I will be taking this seriously.

The model is Carlo Adorador. He is one of Niccolo Cosme’s old model friends, the link dating back 2001. He is really professional on modeling for us, which made taking pictures easier.

Here are just samples, a warm-up for my rise. (Yes, seriously.)
