MEGA Magazine makes history as they publish the thickest mag in the Philippines with 400 pages. This month's issue features one of the country's most influential and biggest star, Ann Curtis. I saw the image of the cover a few weeks ago while browsing through my Facebook and I must say, Ann looked so gorgeous. There were actually two versions of the shot. One was an ethereal cover with Ann wearing a Peruvian hat, which was shot in Peru. The other one was a high fashion cover shot in a famous tiled stairway in Brazil. The shots were flawless and breathtaking. But what caught my attention was this documentary video that was directed by Michael Carandang, who happens to be the guy behind showcasing the talents of some Filipino designers (i.e. Francis Libiran, Michael Cinco) in America's Next Top Model. The docu was able to capture the behind-the-scenes during a 9-day shoot in South America, travelling to Brazil and Peru. It shows the challenges, hardships, resourcefulness, creativity and cohesiveness of the crew during the entire period. Indeed, the fashion world is not all about glam. The front covers of a magazine may show the most amazing poses but behind that was super hard work from the people who have relentlessly invested their time and talent. The video just inspires me.
