about this project
A conceptual graduation portrait series that contrasts ethereal imagery with urbex and grunge aesthetics. Shot across UP Diliman and Cubao, the series pairs soft white styling and natural landscapes with weathered architecture and graffiti, using warm muted tones, film grain, and vintage-inspired treatments to create an editorial take on graduation portraiture.
process & references
Location scouting and shot planning were worked out on a contact-sheet-style concept board before the shoot, mapping ethereal and urbex references against specific spots across UP Diliman and Cubao. Styling, lighting, and composition references were developed alongside the location plan. Natural lighting, warm muted grading, film grain, and vintage photographic treatments were applied during post-production.
