I met Klarizze two weeks ago when she enrolled in my Basic Digital Photography Class. She's a petite, young student of University of the Philippines, Manila, and currently, she's in her third year, taking up her undergraduate degree, majoring in Political Science. 

She brought a small digital camera, non-DSLR; she was a really keen student--she was able to capture good pictures--some of them are posted in my previous tabblo. A few days later, she posted her pictures in Facebook, and I made a few comments.

During our session, I also noticed that she has a really charming face--very cute, actually. She seems to project this image of a very innocent and sweet girl. So, when I was looking for models for my Portraits 101, I thought that she would be a good model.

So I messaged her in Facebook, and asked her if she was available for the next weekend, and I told her that I want to make her a model for my Portraits 101 class. She actually "laughed" at the suggestion. She thought I took her for another person. :) I told her that it wasn't a mistake.

I told her not to worry because she will be modeling with another woman. Plus, being interested in photography herself, I told her that she could also learn photography while I teach the Portraits 101 students. So she agreed. :)

What I loved about working with her was that she was really very cooperative. The fact that our shooting session was done in a university made her appeal more appropriate. :) I was very satisfied with her open-mindedness, considering that it was her first time to do this kind of activity.
