The Crusader
hris Calumberan, a Dubai based Freelance Professional Photographer, has been around shooting much about everything. Every photographer passes through all types of assignments, and currently his images to date are featured in fashion and beauty magazines. He has worked with various production agencies such as Bareface, Creative Management to name a few, and now working together with Phototechnics. As a veteran from the advertising industry, he knows the inner workings of a conceptual shoot thus he is sought after for his services. For a period of time, the advertising industry has not been easy for a photographer with asian descent, although this was true, he surged forward with own brand of photography. His style of lighting has won him admiration not only from the advertising industry but from the Filipino community as well. Budding photographers can’t help admire the man as he has become the crusader for Filipino pride and of how he has remained humble in the midst of these accolades.
For this issue, he has decided to use the images from Donatella Novello’s bridal beauty shoot. An Italian with a flair for the arts, Donatella is a seasoned make up artist and has been around the fashion industry in Europe and Mid-east. It is in his delight that he finally got the chance to work with Donatella together with Appolina as the Hair Stylist. His model for this shoot is Andreea Zoia, Romanian Beauty whom he had worked many times before. And for the dress, it was designed by no less than Sohad Acouri, a Lebanese fashion designer. To top off the team, Jed Causapin was brought in as an assistant and videographer for the “behind the scenes” coverage. His images from the shoot is shown herein and we would thank Chris Calumberan for allowing us to showcase his talent in our magazine. Thank you also for bearing the Filipino pride and more power to your craft.
