Two speakers graced the forum to enlighten a gathering of the media, bloggers, photographers, and students on how to handle a fashion photo shoot. Present to discuss basic Fashion photography was multi-awarded photojournalist and Fujifilm Philippines official product evangelist; Ms. Jojie Alcantara.

Otoi Mercado is a former fashion designer that's why he has a great knowledge about things like this. The, now, in-demand make up artist has worked for different fashion editorials that were published in M Magazine and were on display during the event.

After the informative discussion and sharing of tips by the speakers, they gave the audience a treat, an instant shoot with Ms. Jojie Alcantara with the help from Mr. Otoi Mercado as he gave tips on the selected people to model for Ms. Jojie. I was lucky to be selected as the model together with my good friends Jeffrey Modia and Bianca Binag.
