Hey! I'm sorry i didn't post anything for almost five months! Aaaaa somebody please punish me, I'd like to be tortured, you guys can lock me in a room full of rats. Nah, kidding. I'd rather walk myself on fire. Speaking about walking, i can't walk in a proper way recently, it's because of this stupid action (which I'm too ashamed to tell ya) i did a week ago that made the doctor pulled off my toe nail! Yes, shit happened.  Anyway, the reason why i kinda neglected this blog for some months is because of this endless college task. Time feels so fast when i realize that I'm on my 5th semester right now, ahh did i tell ya i turned 21 this month? Can't believe that i started this blog when i was 15, and now I'm 21, so surreal. 

First of all, let me introduce you with Titak! If you realize, she's been helping me on some photo shoots for this blog. We met when we were in 11th grade back then, ever since she knew that I'm frequently making photo shoot, she's always like offers me a help and promotes my blog to everyone she knows.  Thank you kak Titak! I really appreciate all your kindness. That's why i wanna give her a little gift by make her own photo shoot for this blog. This time i make a collaboration with my friend in college, Viki. She draws a lot of illustrations with her galaxy-ish pattern style, which is totally cool. You can check her works here. Viki was Titak's classmate back in Junior High School. So we are really excited to throw this shoot on her. After this i will make more collaboration with my friend from college. Don't forget to follow my Instagram!

 Okay, Gill.

Hola! Well, actually, i did not have any plan to make this photoshoot, the thing is because i already make a plan to do the other concept for Naomi, but on that day Pipip and Dika asked Naomi to be the model of their clothing project. So they came to my house and borrowed my camera and took some simple shoots. I was like, "Hey i'm bored let's make a photoshoot!" , so it was like a sudden decision. Since Siti could not go to my house that day so i decided to not put any make up for this shoot. I  think Nao is beautiful even without any make up on her face, the beauty is already there guys! So that beauty sense is the focus for this shoot. I want her look  like naturally sexy in classy way. This sexy stuff is not her thing actually, but that's the point of this shoot , show her different side but still not losing her classy beauty. So what i did during the shoot was sprinkling her face with water all the time hahahaha. That wet face with the touch of warm sunset was so amazing, really love the result.

 

Okay, Gill.

In the early of this month i make a photoshoot with Akib for the second time. He actually asked me a few months ago that since his hair is already grown, he wants to capture this moment and he let me to concept the shoot whatever i want. Since in the last shoot i made him full of make up , this thime i wanna show his natural and pure side but still in adrogyny mood. 

The concept itself is about hope just like the title. There are two contrast tone colours shown in this shoot, the low saturation-monochrome tone and the high saturation green tone. The low one is representing something that about to fade as you can see with his gloomy expression , and the green leaf with high saturation tone is symbolising a hope. From this photoshoot i wanna say that when something seems to fade you need to hold a hope in yourself to make everything balance, don't lose your faith, believe in something that keeps your hope still there and go along with you.

Inallilahi wa inallilahi Raji'un

My Mom passed away on the last December due of the breast cancer. She's been struggling against this cancer for almost 14years. Mom you were really strong.

I would never-ever think that she would leave this fast. That was like a twist ending for my coming-of-age chapter of my life. When i finally turned 20, when i finally can start to be a mature person , when i finally can make a move to prove her that i can make her proud, she's suddenly gone at my start line. To be honest, this is too fast for me, i always think that i haven't make her proud yet, i used to share and tell my dreams to her, my dream to study aboard, my dream job to be an editor in chief of an art magazine and promise her to buy a lot of things that she loves one day when i reach those dreams. I remember her face when we talked about those dreams, she has that faith for me. I'm sure she understands what i really want, she knows my passion, she believes that i can reach them. 

Thank you Mom for everything. I know it's gonna be hard for me to live my life without you. But at the same time i also know that you're happy in there, 'cause i believe this is the best way for everyone, everything happens for a reason. I will work extra hard to reach those dreams once we talked. I don't want to lose your faith. I love you Mom :)

This is the tribute photo shoot for my Mom. The outfits , the flowers, the tone, the make up, everything are representing my Mom. Flowers means beauty in here, she loves everything beauty and just like the way she looks. Once she asked me to make a photo shoot with lovely colors that not really gloomy and dark, and yes, now i made this specially for you Mom :)

Tita for helping us in anything.

Bulan and Lucky for lending me the baseball bat.

Setyaji, the owner of the baseball bat.

Reza for the wax.

Hellooo everyone! I'm feeling productive lately hahaha, I've done 5 photo-shoots in 2 months :p Actually, before i did this one i made a photo-shoot for Akib's latest BOADICEA campaign but you have to wait for the release date! Well, me and Siti are really excited when we talked about this project, cause we gonna pair our own classmate in college hahaha, yup Robi is Siti's best-friend in college. When i first met Robi, i'm so envy with his cheekbones -___- i want that kind of cheekbones too hahaha,then i realized that he probably has a potential to be a model  finally i asked him to do a photo shoot with Lola for my blog, and he said yes!

This time, i wanna make something grunge with kind of 'badass' image and Lola is just perfectly fit in this image huahaha Cause she's really tough in real life actually, she's kind of tomboy girl, she does martial art and sport, her face looks badass but also classy here hahaha. The shoot tells about a badass girl with her bodyguard that rule the alley , she will beat anyone that try to own her alley,ohh and about the baseball bat, i just have The Raid 2-euphoria huahahaha :p Robi was struggling for this shoot, at first he couldn't relax cause it's his first modeling experience, but me and Siti kept on helping him and the result is great :) Robi reminds me with Bella on her early days modeling for my blog huahaha. She was struggling so hard for this but after years she can easily make that effortlessly high-fashion pose (check it on her latest photo-shoot ).

So like i told before , tell your opinions or anything by mention me on twitter and don't forget to follow my instagram @gillchandra to get a sneak peek or behind the shoot moment ;)

Okay, Gill.
