Most bloggers are usually invited as guests, and perhaps may be oblivious on whatever’s happening backstage. Little do we know is that behind the glitz and the glamour come these people who painstakingly toil before, during, and even after the event. 🙂
I was invited to attend the Swarovski Eyewear Launch not only as a guest, but also as a photographer pre-event.

I already posted about the two new collections here.
Since taking pictures is merely a pastime of mine, I asked a professional photographer’s help instead. Besides, I wasn’t too confident to pull everything off by simply clutching a humble DSLR kit for starters. 😛
It does not mean that I wouldn’t dare to capture anything at all! Here are some snapshots prior to the event, where the rehearsals, makeup, fitting as well as the photo shoot took place. Call time was 9 am, and believe it or not, I was an early bird. 😀
The stage. Everything’s peace and quiet.

A slew of makeup artists doing their thing.

After which, the photo shoot, which’s supposed to be my stint, finally transpired. I took some snapshots on the background. I’m still amid mulling whether should I use them in my nondescript, nonexistent portfolio — or not. 😛 So far, everything’s still crappy, but I’d be glad to spare you one (a less crappy version).
Twas clear to me that we’re behind schedule. 😛 So, the event finally started and we’re still taking and editing pictures. I resolved not to take my seat as a guest, and helped finish packing up the whole thing before the fashion show starts.
The event was hosted by Sam Oh. I’ve seen her in ETC, and she’s just as eloquent as her usual self. 🙂
Amber sang, and it was a shame that I missed her part. Finally, a few minutes before the fashion show, I already grabbed my lunch. I was extremely hungry that I didn’t care taking pictures of my food and devoured it like a warthog. I know, it doesn’t sound so classy. 😛
Amid the course of eating, Shamcey Supsup arrived. So, I sneaked out of the table to take a peak and a snapshot [or two]. The Miss Universe 3rd Runner Up is the official model of Swarovski Eyewear, to be carried by EO-Executive Optical here in Manila. Transformed into “fangirl” mode, I took quite a lot of pictures. Here are some of them.

Shamcey looks like a capital Barbie! My new “thinspiration”. PS: she really has a nice set of teeth. 😛
Culminating the event was the fashion show. Sitting next to the stage, I further took some piccies. 🙂
