More adventures with MILK shop :)

It's such a joy to work with such sassy boss-ladies with such fun taste.  I also have to commend myself on my willpower, as I haven't purchased a single product since I started working with MILK.  The temptation has definitely be high though!

Feel free to get in touch if you need some styled photos to help your products shine on social media.  I'm also happy to offer one-on-one workshops on styling, lighting and composition for the DIY-inclined makers and small-biz owners out there!  kristinacorre at gmail. dot com :)

Adventures in product photography

Earrings by Vinta

One of the beautiful things about finding a group of artists so dedicated to celebrating and exploring their Black heritage and identities is being inspired to get curious about my own Filipino background, especially in relation to traditional crafts and making.  In my googling I came across VINTA Gallery - based in Toronto and Manila, the fashion line takes cues from traditional Filipino formal wear to create classic bespoke modern Filipania, each piece handmade in the motherland under the direction of master couturier Lita Lagman.

Recently I let myself get a little carried away (in typical Filipina fashion) with a sale on their handmade earrings, and when they arrived I couldn't help but do an impromptu photoshoot with my new treasures.  The use of denim and lace makes me think of a creativity and resourcefulness that's very much a part of who I am - maybe it's something inherently Filipino.
