Capturing Serenity? More Like Capturing Chaos

When Youlina stepped onto that Boracay beach, I swear the sun didn’t just shine—it threw shade like it had a personal vendetta against my camera settings.

East Meets West (and My Overthinking)

I left 40% of Frame #27 as empty sea because apparently ‘negative space’ is now my therapist’s favorite concept. But really? It was just me not knowing how to crop properly.

Technical Notes? More Like ‘Survival Tips’

Three stops of exposure compensation? That ivory crochet cover-up nearly turned into a ghostly apparition. Lesson learned: underexpose by 0.7EV if you want skin tones that don’t look like they’ve been photoshopped by a nervous ghost.

What these images don’t show? Me sweating through three layers trying to keep my ND filter from fogging up like my last relationship.

So yes—this isn’t reality. It’s sublime fiction. And honestly? I’d pay extra for that luxury tax any day.

Failed? More Like Legendary.

So the ‘accidental’ white shirt shoot that ruined my schedule? Turns out it was the only thing that saved my soul.

I planned black stockings, drama, control. Instead—Averie walks in wearing nothing but a crisp white shirt and zero makeup. Cue the rain. Cue the existential crisis.

We stayed until dusk. I clicked too many times—blurry hands, half-shoulders in shadow… classic ‘failed’ material.

But here’s the twist: the mess was poetry.

Wet cotton clinging to collarbones? Not a flaw—it was light whispering secrets.

Post-production wasn’t fixing—it was translating emotion into pixels.

55 frames later? No one cared about nudity. They cried because it felt real. Because trust > perfection.

Turns out chaos is just intention wearing rain boots.

Red as Rebellion

That fire-engine red? Not just for show—it’s Pantone 186 C, which technically makes your heart race by 13%. But here? It’s armor. Like I tell my students: “When vulnerability becomes fashion, chaos becomes control.”

Home Glamour Now

Shot in a studio apartment? Yes. Parisian loft? No. This is post-pandemic life: expensive underwear + messy bed = new luxury status symbol. TikTok calls it ‘casual glam’—I call it survival mode with good taste.

Final Verdict: ⁷⁄₁₀ for Artistic Risk

Technically flawless (those collarbones are literally lit like Rembrandt’s dreams), but where’s the wilder concept? Still… this shoot whispers poetry in a world that screams algorithms.

So she didn’t pose for anyone… but apparently her lace is the algorithm now? 🤔

I’ve seen this before — in my sleep, at 3 AM, while sipping overpriced matcha from a gallery no one remembers.

Beauty isn’t sold on Instagram. It’s the ghost of a lace that whispered back when the world stopped looking.

And now? We’re all just wearing silk armor to hide our grief.

You may look at me… but I’m already elsewhere.
