tricia will go places

What do you use for photography?

I mainly use a Canon 5D Mk II with a 24-70L lens which almost never leaves the camera. On some days, I still use my 5-year-old Canon 350D, mostly for my 10-22mm which can’t fit on a full frame. Lighting-wise, I have pink AlienBees, a square Falcon Eyes softbox, and an AlienBees beauty dish. I got my ABs from the US!

How do you edit your photos? Can you teach me how to do it?

My photos are pretty much a product of the following: Camera RAW adjustments, actions and curves on Photoshop CS5. I edit each photo differently so it’d be hard to do a tutorial since it would totally yield different results for everybody!

What is your hair color? Where do you get your hair done?

- Recently went BLONDE but before this I had a Schwarzkopf 12-1 Ultra Ash Blonde over a 8-1 Ash Blonde over a 7-57 Medium Gold Copper blonde over a 6-5 over a 7-65 Dark Auburn Gold. Lol, it’s a mix of everything. I usually get my hair done at Indigo Salon along Temple Drive, near White Plains. My epic hairstylist Jun S. would love to accommodate you!

What is your height? How come you look so tall in your photos?

I’m only 5’3”, but I have a relatively short torso, so my longer legs tend to take majority of the space in my photos. Heels and low-angles make me look taller than I really am, too!

Do you have siblings?

Yes, I do! I am a middle child and an only girl, actually. I have 3 brothers - My eldest twin brothers Chase and Juju and my younger brother Calel. We’re all 4 years apart.

Do you have an advocacy?

Yes, I do! I am currently one of the brand ambassadors of Operation Smile. Operation Smile Philippines provides free reconstructive facial surgery to indigent Filipino children and young adults born with cleft lip and cleft palate deformity.
