Zie photoshoots!

Hellu!
Ok so two days ago (Monday) I had two photoshoots.

I had to be at the first photoshoot at 9.30am, which means i had to wake up at 7am . . . which i hate hehe.

Well I "Bet ihop" and took myself to the first shoot which was going to be held at BOOM Photography. Which happens to be the same studio where i had my second testshoot.

Well, when i first got there i plinged on the door. . . no answer. . . . plinged again. . . . no answer. . . . . it was really hot and i was sweating and i wanted AIRCONDITIONING!. . . . but no answer :P

Ah i figured what the hell, so i put down my bag, pulled out the japanese learning book and just stood there for a while haha.

After a while i plinged again, then someone opened. . .. I was let in and told to wait for the people who were gonna hold the shoot.

I Sat down on a couch and just went through some magazines, until eventually people started comming.

Let's see. . . The photographer, hair person, makeup person and two stylists came to participate in the shoot.

Well. . .. turns out men's folio is pretty big. First during the shoot i heard it. One of the stylists asked to see my portfolio, and asked if any of the pictures were from any magazines, i told them no and that i hadn't done many shoots. She responded "Well after this everyone will know who you are" . . . .. Shit is SWEEEEET!

Later at the casting i had the day after, i was with a group of models, and one of them said they got an editorial for Men's Folio, some of the guys slapped his back and said Congratulations. . . . I got a 10 page spread. . . . MWAHA! I didn't tell them though haha XD

Anyway, the shoot was very very long, 10 outfits, all of them were trendy suits from various brands such as Louis Vuitton, Burberry, Hugo Boss, etc etc.

It was an awesome shoot, a LOT of fun. The photographer was great, he directed me and helped a LOT!

For some reason i didn't find it awkward to stand infront of so many people and pose either hehe. . . guess i'm just getting used to it :P

The photos are all taken by the guy that did my hair (New hair style for each outfit, the first few outfits had neat hair, then later outfits were funky hair hehe), i gave him my camera (Thinking about you guys haha) and asked him to snap some photos for my relatives back home XD

He was a really nice guy, kept on fixing my hair every 20 seconds with water though. . . no exageration, he'd like, let the camera man take one photo, then he would run up fix a bit, run back and repeat the process haha.

It was an interesting experience indeed. . . at moments i would be trying to get my shoes on, simultaneously, someone would be fixing my hair and another person would be doing makeup. . . .hahaha

We kind of had to hurry because of my second shoot with Bridal Veil. The shoot lasted till 3pm.

They said this would be great for my portfolio. . . Whoooo! One step closer to Japan then haha :D

Alright, well i rushed out, grabbed a cab, and after the cab got lost in the neighbourhood i was supposed to go to (It was very confusing), we eventually found the house haha.

Well inside i met everyone from Bridal Veil again, including a few new girls i'd never met before. . . all very pleasant people, and the shoot was very laid back and we all just enjoyed ourselves haha.

This shoot was much easier and faster.

Firstly i told them i hadn't eaten anything yet (It was 4pm, i had only had an early breakfast) because i'd been at a job before this, no problem, they let me make a big assed sandwich in the kitchen ehhe. Btw. . .. Michelle's house was friggin MASSIVE! The roof was like 10 meters high!

I had to take a shower and get rid of all the crap they had put in my hair from the first shoot.

This shoot was for a bridal magazine, also ten outfits. Because the outfits were bridal, i was limited to looking like a gentleman haha so i didn't have to do any wierd poses and what not.

For example, the first shot.

The photographer was standing with Michelle and Michelle was talking about how she wanted the lighting. The photographer told he was going to take some testshoots. . . so i just stood there in the light watching the television and kinda . . . just doing nothing haha.

Then suddenly, Michelle goes "OK GO CHANGE INTO NEXT OUTFIT" I started laughing. . . btu she was serious hahahah apparently she loved one of the test shots the photographer had taken hahahahha so all the pictures i just kinda had to look casual XD it was fun. . . but a veeery long day. . i was getting a bit tired.

After the 10 outfits and one group photo together with Michelle (The Designer) and Ksenia (The über beautiful female model) i was told that i could just lay back and drink wine with them hahaha. So that's exactly what i did. . . i drank wine together with a crazy Australian girl, very sweet, and just sat there in the couch watching Ksenia's photoshoot. A very social night together with the Bridal Veil Staff. . . . lotsa fun.

I have lots of pictures. . . not of myself but of Ksenia (Never asked anyone to take pics of me, so you'll have to wait till the magazine is released hehe). . . which i cannot show anyways because the magazine might get pissed off haha. Not the bridal veil people. . . but the Bridal Magazine :P

Well i guess this one should be alright. . . doesn't really reveal any vital information, can't see the dress for shit hehe.

Alright gotta run, Time to eat with grandparents!

All in all. . was an AWESOME day, my day ended at like. . . past 12 anyway. Was loads of fun and met lotsa new and old faces!

This will be great for my portfolio hehe!

Sorry, will respond yer Comments from the previous posts when i get home! In about 2 hours or something.

PS. They supplied dinner as well ;) buffet even hehe.

Oh and today. . .

well i first woke up in the morning, went to the agency for a general casting for Daniel Boey and fashion festival (One whole month of lots and lots of shows)

I met Chris there, his wierd ukrainien roommate who looks exactly like johnny depp (He even has a photo of himself in his book where he's dressed up as Jack Sparrow) hahha he seems nice though XD. . . that just gave me an idea. . . imma get a picture taken together with him and tell everyone it's Johnny depp. . .. yeeeeeaaaaah. . . . haha XD

Ok anyway, there were quite a few girls there, it was a general casting so that Daniel Boey could choose his models for fashion festival. So like the whole agency was there :P

First the girls went, they had to walk and then get a snapshot, then the guys. they had to walk and get their picture taken without their tops on. Then it was my turn. . .

I stand up, Daniel says i don't have to walk nor do i have to get a snapshot. . . yeeeeeeeeeeh, everyone else had to do it, but he knows me already XD

After that i left with Chris and a girl named Olga. I was to walk with Olga to Bridal Veil for a fitting.

We left Chris at orchard and me and her walked to Bridal Veil. . . once we got there, they were like, huh? what are you doing here? you don't have to do a fitting. . . . yeeeeeeeeeeeeeh, every other model in the show had to do a fitting. . . but they already know me XD yeeeeeeeeeeeeeh. . . . hahahha so i actually didn't have to wake up at all today :P

Well who cares, i spent the rest of the day together with Chris, and we both opened a bank account at DBS bank, i recieved my first "bigger" check of like 2000 sing.

I WILL be going on the boat trip this friday, i am SOOOO psyched it's gonna be so much fun. Chris is comming as well!

Uuuuuhm. . . .. oh yeh, as i said, yesterday i was eating at the Dutch club. I forgot to mention i met one of mom's cousines. . . ..

I was on my way out when i heard someone yell ALEX!

I had no idea who it was. . . a younger pretty woman. . . . i dunno like 20-30 probably. she's like "Yeh i recognized the similarity in you and your mother, i'm one fo her cousines". . . . hahaha i'm like "WELL THERE YA GO! How bout that! I meet like new relatives everyday haha". . . i forgot to ask what her name was -.-

Well anyway, that's about it!

Lotsa Love!

Hehehe well i meant she had a big smile. . . which contained big teeth. . . i dunno she's pretty though. . . but then again i must fall for like half the models i meet everyday anyways hahaha XD And yeh. . . i wish i'd get a show where i just walk back and forth one time. . . that seems so much cooler :P

And about working out. . . well. . .. i don't want to get any bigger :( I can't get any bigger :( Today again, they said i shouldn't get any bigger. . . i'm like "But i want bigger shouldeeerrrsss :(" They said no haha. . . . And Daniel Agreed. . . . he had been in Japan and he told me that my friend Kenji who i met a while back had been there at the same time. HE was too big . . . . his waist is 29-30. . . .. mien is 32. . . .. Ah well we'll see. . . the market nowadays is for lean. . .so i'll just have to tone my body that's all. .. . .. still i wanted to be even bigger XD
