Dream as a memory
One sleepless night, a few days back, a spur of inspiration hit me. I said to myself, I need to shoot this tomorrow or this will forever be gone. So I messaged a friend whom I know can bring this concept to life. Luckily, she agreed to shoot the next day.


I was thinking of something serene; a photograph that would make you feel something that you could not explain; a traditional-modern take on a Japanese woman. And I knew I picked the right person to model my concept.

Meet
China Mungcal, the talented girl behind our gothic lolita photoshoots (
shinyredballoon on DeviantArt, and
vanillachailatte on Tumblr). She's a bag full of the most whimsical ideas, and I knew right then and there that she was perfect.
We shot this on a rainy, gloomy day. I was amused how we didn't really think while we were shooting; everything just fell right into place.


Much thanks to my dearest model, Chai. Darling, you've proven to everyone and to yourself how truly gifted you are. I'm looking forward to every future collaboration we will be having. Always remember how wonderful you are. Keep inspiring people through your craft :)
