Albie Casino: Matinee Idol In The Making!

Photo # 1 (Thanks to Albie Casino and his websites)Photo # 2Photo # 3Photo # 4Photo # 5Photo # 6Photo # 7Photo # 8Photo # 9I saw nurses from Med Surg in one hospitals in California giggling like little girls. The topic of their conversation was Mara-Clara a remake-soap courtesy of super soapsud TV station ABS CBN. Well they were not talking about the lead ex-going-bulilit stars, " we are not into them" one nurse sarcastically replied. "Who is it then? I asked.

My goodness, they were talking about Albie Casino, the cute dude who was more cuter in his basketball shorts, the gorgeous kid (well he is almost in the brink of manhood) whose smile is so infectious and whose kakulitan will bring out the "ATE" in you. No wonder they were giggling like pubescent girls, they can give Mara and Clara a little catfight just to get his attention.

I tell you Man Central readers ... when this kid grow up, I know he is going to give Piolo or Diether and Lloyd a run for their money. All indications are there ... and if these positive response from adolescent girls even with mommies who are still teeners by heart, I can bet my bottom dollar ... he can be as bankable as his predecessors, and he can be somebody to break your hearts especially when leading ladies starts fighting over him.

Role Reversal? Well ... It can happen to anybody ... especially to a photographer who once was a model and a pageant candidate himself ... and then later ... have a change of heart and wants to try something new ... like photography perhaps? Confusing huh? But that's what happen to Lem Estiva who has the opportunity to try everything, and switch roles whenever he feels like it.

As a photographer ... Lem Estiva in his multiply blog mesmerizes you with an extraordinary portfolio of intimate and sensual male or female body forms. He takes a classical, almost a sculptural approach to human body ... and his photographs are characterized by technical and stylistic perfection. His images are meticulously refined and stylized, their affective power is very much about flesh and blood ... creating an electric tension between the abstract beauty of his subjects on the other hand ... and their raw sexuality on the other.

As a model, he can be a stunning internet companion too ... and the finished product shown above is an unabashed and exquisite salute to his genius. Having been relegated at the back of the camera for awhile ... his intuitive powers remained intact ... and who could better paint a tapestry of beautiful images than a photographer who was a model ... and a model who moonlights as a photographer.
