Entensa News: One Imperfect Pose at a Time

I’m here in Jakarta getting some entensa work done and had the chance to shoot with a local model named Amanda. For me, working with great models is genuinely one of the most enjoyable parts of this job. You spend a couple of hours collaborating with someone who’s dedicated, who’s trying, and who brings their own energy to the shoot. It’s fun, it’s creative, and it reminds me that building something real is always a team effort. And let’s face it, it gets my mind off of the day to day routine.

Amanda is still early in her modeling journey. She’s young, still learning, and represented by a solid agency here in Jakarta. She’s not the most polished model I’ve ever worked with, but in this one shot, there’s something that sticks with me. 

I had shown her a reference pose and asked if we could replicate it. She couldn’t quite pull it off, but she kept trying. Not with frustration or ego, just a quiet determination to improve. She didn’t want to give up.

The rain cut our shoot short (because that’s how Jakarta rolls), and we didn’t get the shot. But we got something better: a glimpse of what happens when someone shows up, tries hard, and doesn’t fold when things don’t go perfectly.

That’s the spirit we’re building entensa with. We’re figuring things out, sometimes missing the mark, sometimes getting rained on, but we’re still here, showing up and moving forward.

One imperfect pose at a time.
