Ramp Diva: Filipina Book Launch

A year in the making.

John Ablaza - artist, designer and now an author invited me for this dream project of his. A dream where Philippine models from all timeline gathered in one book, the Ramp Diva. Alongside the trust of this new talented photographers, he thought a dream is possible with hard work. The idea was brought up a year ago on a dinner table, who would know something big would come up between random topics and serving spoons. Consecutively, the shoots began from studio A to studio B inviting the models for this opportunity of a lifetime. The ramp divas response was overwhelming, they were excited.

As for me, I treated it as a blessing. being part of it was a blessing. Meeting these lovely ladies, working with them alongside the photographers, hair and makeup artists, and John, learning new things and getting inspired.
