21Feb 10 Clothes styling for films?

20Oct 09 The Production Process (shoot with Sara Black and Kelly Misa part 2!)
Tags: styling, photography, fashion, philippine fashion, models, school of fashion and the artsThe shoot with Sara Black is my favorite so far, because it was so laidback and organized.
