Masskara Queen 2012 FASHION PHOTO SHOOT

The MassKara Queen 2012 Final 10 candidates had a playful two-day Fashion Photo Shoot recently at locations chosen to show why “Life is Good in Bacolod”, this year’s MassKara Festival theme.

The few identified places were at the Negros Occidental High School grounds, the San Sebastian Cathedral, The Gazebo at the Bacolod public plaza, the Central Market, BREDCO port, Villanueva Art Deco ancestral house, The Ranch in Brgy. Alangilan, and Chicken Deli along the Lacson Strip, also a prominent venue during the October festivities.

ABS-CBN Bacolod MagTV na Amiga host and MQ 2012 Executive Producer Carmela Gamboa said these places aptly represented not only the social or lifestyle aspect of Bacolod but also included the educational, historical, spiritual, economic, food, tourism and trade industries of the city.

The pictures will be shown during the pageant night on October 18 and from these, the judges will pick out the Most Photogenic award.

The ten lovely ladies were styled by Toni Miranda Diente, in-house stylist of Fetish. Masks used were by Jojo Vito and photography by SKT Digital. The Fashion Photo Shoot was directed by ABS-CBN Bacolod’s RNG Entertainment Head Barney Molina.*
