Crow Editorial Shoot

I loved doing this shoot.  For starters, working with a young entrepreneur, Cara De Jesus, owner and CEO of Crow_PH, things happen really fast.  Our shoot began on schedule, with a fresh young model, Renata Deodorio, who hails from Brazil and our photographer, Heidi Sarol shortly followed after.

If you visit Crow_PH in Instagram, you will see that it has a very edgy vibe. It is for the young modern woman in her 20’s and 30’s who are daring, who is not shy in expressing her confidence and attitude.  It’s like a SUV with a big attitude.  It’s fun, flirty, bohemian at times and very hip.  It’s definitely not “mommy clothes”!

Cara gave me free rein in creating the look, and I decided to go fresh but with a twist.  In a sea of smoky looks in magazines, I decided to go the opposite.  In fact, when I was doing Renata’s makeup, I instinctively thought a Dita Von Teese look like a 1940’s pin up would be suitable or her.  In some photos, I also saw a Jackie Kennedy look a like.  Renata was a dream to work with, very pleasant, easy and definitely a pro.

  • For her first look, the lace dress, lipstick applied was from Inglot’s Berry color line.  For her second look, I let her blot off the lipstick and applied a light concealer and applied a light pink gloss for the bubblegum color.  For the last and third look with the bathing suit, I mixed a black eyeliner with MAC’s Viva Glam 1 red lipstick to create a rebel look.

Renata 3Hair was styled by Rikki Suarez.

I was enjoying myself so much that before I knew it, 2 hours had passed and the shoot was done and Renata was off to another casting.  I hope she got it.
