Because I’m only an amateur photographer who know nothing about lights and professional photography equipment, I rely heavily on sunlight. The way the sun is shining affects my photos greatly so I often find myself chasing after it. The easiest time to take photos are during mornings or afternoons when the sun is still bright but not so bright that it washes the colors out. Noon is the worst. It’s painful and casts shadows on all the wrong places which makes it so hard to work with. Sunsets, however, is a hit or miss. When it IS a hit though, it creates the most dramatic photos. The warm glow it gives you is like no other. This set of photos is clearly a hit.
I didn’t intend to take photos during this time though. I like playing it safe so I always try my best to take photos earlier in the day. But since my shoot with my Forever 21 winners wrapped up later than expected, I had no choice. I love how the photos turned out though. The tone of my photos suit the fall colors of my outfit well–especially that of my top.

Thank you Dee! It’s always easier to take photos earlier in the day :)
I love the lighting of this picture, Ms Camille! It makes everything look so soft.. It’s amazing what sunlight can do to a photo.. and I read some of your comment, your driver took this? Really? Not bad! You should encourage him to take up photograph class! Then he can take more nice outfit post for you.. =D
But then he might leave me and become a photographer haha! :)
Haha.. That might happen.. but if he didn’t leave you, you have the best of both world.. but he’s really good in taking outfit picture.. Keep it up! =)
ahhh! the photos are so pretty (and of course, kasama ka na dun)! manong driver is so talented! you have trained him well? hehehe. I love your outfit especially the shoes and bag! It’s weird ’cause brown is not my favorite color, but I am biased with it when it comes to shoes and bags. hehehe. and those leeeeeeeggggsssss! <3
Thanks Pat! :) He has potential, doesn’t he? :)
Hi Camile loves your Valentino heels~Looks really nice !Loves that brand too <3
Thanks Lian! :)
Hello Ms. Camille .. I love the your Proenza Schouler bag. I would like to ask where this store is located? Thanks in advance :)
I got mine in HK! :) We don’t have Proenza here :) Although you can try online too!
Beautiful as always! The light is perfect! I like how the photo (4th from the bottom) turned out! <33 Stay amazing!
Thanks Sheena!
Don’t you love it when women aren’t afraid to look like women? I actually found a perfect shirt that reminds me of the clover blouse she’s wearing. Now if I could just master that expression of innocence!!!
Thanks Robynne! :)
Hi, i wonder who takes your pictures?
Whoever is with me. My driver took these! Haha! :)
You look lovely!

Thanks Gia! :)
Ahh! This is definitely my kind of style Cams. Tucked in button down, skirt, nude shoes and a long strapped bag. Plus I love ribbon/tie details like that on tops. So cool! I wanna buy every piece of that outfit! LOL. But that would hurt my pocket so… maybe just a few. Hahahaha.

Me too! Love the bow!! :) Start with a few LOL

Thanks Cynthia!
I looooove the lighting!!! ^^ You look really pretty here! :)
Thanks Reena!
You look like a 7 footer on the third photo. 5’7″ ka ba or 5’8″?
5’7″ :) The trick is to take your photo from a lower angle :)
You look so 18 and sweet in the third photo of yours. So love it! You and bianca gonzalez have the same pair of shoes :)
Thanks Maebs! These shoes are the best!
where exactly did you shoot this? it’s just that the background is different from the usual ones that you have. :)
Right outside the studio of my shoot! Haha!
The sunset light brought plenty of dramatic flair to this set of shots, Miss Camille. Contrast or not, the setting proved to be an ideal mix of worldly and dreamy. :-)
Autumn shades look lovely on you. I’m also loving the fit of the top, the youthful collar detail, and the bow artfully arranged in the last photo. The print is casual-dressy, but sweet in a fruit-wine way. I admire how you chose to dress it down, but still look so classy! :-) I must say this is my favorite piece of yours for the season. I dubbed the hue of your top “Forbidden Red”. :-)
The cuffs of your sleeves make your wrists look more slender, and the overall effect is put together. You look like a damsel in charge of her own destiny! Even the simplicity of the skirt in its matte black tone is made feminine by the sunlight, yet edgy by your body language.
Your satchel purse is another one for the books! I’ve seen plenty of styles and modern takes on this vintage design, but you have one that is very solid in its presentation. It looks sturdy and worldly- a great accessory for urban living.
I like the name for my top! Tasteful! :) Thank you Angelic! Classy is always the way to go!
Golden Hour at its best :D I agree with the hit or miss thing, #BloggerProblems talaga lol! Do you still use your Nikon or have you changed cameras already? :o
Still my D7000 :)
Sunsets really have the “magic” effect. It can make the photo dramatic or romantic. The list goes on :)
Super!
you’re really a nice fashion inspiration. I love your style.. AND THE more worst is evening .. I have a photo taken in the evening and it is really blurry but i don’t have no choice but going to post it but comes a little bit nice. btw love your top :-)

It can be quite a challenge to shoot at night and indoors :(
Perfect! You’re amazing Camille. Love these types of photos during the “golden time.” Great post!

This is one of those outfits that can be worn different ways…work, casual, date night, formal occasion, party and so on. I love the colour combo and you look gorgeous as always.

Hi camille.. I love the top you are wearing from style in kind. I would like to ask where this store is located ..i couldnt wait to get one for me. Thanks
It’s an online store from Singapore. They ship internationally
Hello! Your outfit made you look like an 18 year old French/Parisian school girl and the style of your hair even made you look like that. So cute and classy. ^_^ Love your shoes and bag! I really love this outfit. :) xx
If it’s okay, I would like to ask for your advice.
I want to wear leggings/jeggings. But my problem is, I have big thighs. :(
Do you think I might have a chance to wear one? (I’ve never wore leggings in my life. Ever. Because they said that if you have big thighs you shouldn’t wear one.)
Hope you could help me. :) Thank you Ate Camille (FC much? Haha!) :) <3
Thanks Kris! :) Maybe you can wear a tunic over them!
OH WOW. THIS IS PERFECTION! I lavet! Your choice of rings are sooo good too! I see a rock! Is that black diamond?! Who is it by?! SO NICE! Sobrang ganda talaga ng Valentinos mo! Classic! Kahit anong mahal nya, very worth it sya! Its beauty will never fade!
I agree! Classic! I just hope my feet won’t grow bigger when I get older so that i can wear them forever! :) I don’t know who the ring is by but I don’t think it’s black diamond. My mom passed it down to me so I have to ask her. :)
I would wear this whole ensemble in a heartbeat! Love it!
