HMUA : The Perfect Storm

"I have seen many storms in my life. Most storms have caught me by surprise, so I had to learn very quickly to look further and understand that I am not capable of controlling weather, to exercise the art of patience and to respect the fury of nature." - Paulo Coelho
Last year I teamed up with the very creative Sefi Curada and had this fun shoot with two very beautiful models. I hope you like the eye candy! All photos by Sefi Curada.

Photography : Sefi Curada Model : Danette Roc Last September 22, in the middle of the #zamboangacrisis , Sefi, Danette & I decided to work around a rather "exposed" concept showing the beautiful feminine form. This photo set is dedicated to Zamboanga. It is dedicated to the fire proof & bullet proof Zamboangueno spirit. We will rise from the ashes of the tragedy that has happened. It may not happen any time soon, but it will eventually fall into place. Time heals all wounds... Even if there are scars that will remain.

Teaser : Time Heals All Wounds

Hair & Makeup by Janna Parel Photography by Sefi Curada Modeling by Danette Roc "It has been said, time heals all wounds. I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone." - Rose Kennedy

Mascota De Zamboanga

Hair & Makeup by : Jannie of Jannieology Photography by : Sefi Curada Models : Rima Gaffud (Violet Mascota) Elle Ibrahim (Gold Mascota) Location & Mascotas provided by : Empress Usni Sali
"Zamboangueña women claim ownership of the mascota, a formal gown with a fitting bodice, her shoulders draped demurely by a luxuriously embroidered, though stiff, panuelo and fastened at the breast by a brooch or a medal. The skirt tapers down from the waist but continues on to an extended trail called the "cola". The "cola may be held on one hand as the lady walks around, or it may likewise by pinned on the waist or slipped up a cord (belt) that holds the dainty "abanico" or purse. 
Featured in the photos are winning designs previously made by one of Zamboanga's finest designer Usni Sali during the Annual Mascota de Zamboanga competition which aims to preserve the beauty of the Spanish culture deeply rooted in the modern City of Zamboanga." - Sefi C.

This shoot was another "toughie" but as always, I work perfectly by Sefi's side. He is a great friend and photographer that I'd happily do shoots with him. The mascota is close to my heart because I am from Zamboanga. Call me bias, but hey! It's gorgeous, right?
To all Zamboanga based photographers, maybe one of these days you'd consider working with me as well. I'm always open to concept shoots! Contact me via email : parel.janna@gmail.com or ams me @ 09177230118. To future clients, you may also contact me the same way!
