What is it like to be a Chicadora?

Hola! As I've promised. Tasting Art Photography will feature one online shop every month.

Last October 4 I posted in our facebook page here that Tasting Art Photography will cover a shoot for a lucky online shop for free. This project aims to help online shops market their collections and make it to the mainstream. And for the month of October Tasting Art Photography was so blessed to collaborate with Chicadora. 

Chicadora is created by Kring and Iya, fashion enthusiasts with big dreams of being successful entrepreneurs. From their creative minds combined with hard work and love for fashion, Chicadora was born. 

What's ironic with their shop is that  every collection they have mystery model/models that will wear their collection. How cool is that? Teehee! Their collections will make you an "it girl". Wear their collection and surely someone will ask you where you got your top. =)

If you guys would ask me why I chose Chicadora to be featured in the month of October. It's basically because the co-owner of Chicadora which is Kring have been one of my acquaintance in our Theatre organization in Miriam College. We've been classmate in Sociology class too. Hihi! Since I find their collections very unique and truly fashionable I immediately asked Kring if they can be featured as the first online shop that will be given a free shoot for the month of October. Kring and Iya talked about it and they both said YES :p 

This is a teaser I made for their BIG collection. I had fun editing this one because I changed the color of the leaves from green to brown to give an autumn effect to the photo. Someone even commented 

"nakaka-autumn!" hihi. I was really glad that Iya & Kring liked it so much. So there... tentenenententen... 

The two models are... none other than... 

Clarence Erika Masesar & Shaina Santiago

These girls really rocked Chicadora's Freedom Collection. The camera just love them and I didn't have a hard time editing their photos because they are obviously beautiful  already. I just enhanced the photos to make it clearer and for the buyers to see the collection's details.

Someone commented pa nga "Can I buy........... their kagandahan? :)))"  haha! 

These two ladies have different types of character. Clarence being a shy type while Shaina being carefree. Though these 2 U.P. students have different personalities they managed to collaborate  and give

this shoot a taste that will surely make guys fall in love with their natural beauty and genuine smiles.

Those are the photos that we've shot in U.P. Prices ranges from 150-200 php ONLY!!! How cool is that? Teehee! :p 

Wanna meet the gorgeous owners of Chicadora? 

Here's Kring and Iya! =)

Haha! You can see here how bubbly these owners of Chicadora are. They are super nice and very kikay. Hihi. Actually, Iya makes her own accesories. And her creativity makes her produce hand made accessories that are truly trendsetters. She has a blog entitled I nailed it! There you will see how fond she is with nail polishes and different nail arts. Cool! ^_^v 

By the way, the vintage top that they are wearing will be out on their next collection so stay tuned! 

Group photo:

Clarence, Shaina, Iya, Kring

I think we've been shooting for almost 6 hours because we started from 9 a.m. to approximately 2:30 already.     It rained after I took the group shot above. Woah. Cool right? =) God is really AWESOME for letting us finish this shoot before it rained. God's little miracles will always be unforgettable =)) 

We ate hotdog bun for lunch because we're sexy like that  (haha!) and ate sisig at the afternoon. Kring's Mom and Tita are very nice as well as the group. Hihi. Kring is so blessed to have her Mom support her online shop as well as her dreams =) And with that, I think I didn't had a mistake choosing this online shop to be featured for the month of October. I didn't just captured fashion portraits . What I captured here is beauty, relationships, genuine smiles, dreams and the true essence of being a woman. To be free and show the world how beautiful you are!
