BJ Pascual Shares Stressful Encounter With Denise Julia’s Team
BJ PASCUAL – The renowned celebrity photographer revealed a challenging experience with singer Denise Julia’s team during an appearance on Killa Kush’s podcast. His candid account has sparked widespread discussions online.
BJ shared his frustrations, detailing a stressful collaboration with Denise Julia’s team for a project that ultimately fell apart. Despite hearing negative feedback about working with the singer, BJ took on the project as a creative challenge. At the time, he was seeking fresh inspiration and admired Denise’s music, particularly as a supporter of young and queer artists.
Initially, Denise’s team approached BJ to revamp her image, which he found exciting. They later proposed a collaboration for her album cover and music video. BJ enthusiastically brought together a team of top industry professionals, including Princess Barretto for set design and Lyn Alumno for styling. To accommodate the singer’s budget, the team agreed to waive their talent fees, requiring payment only for manpower and materials.
However, complications arose the night before the shoot. During a meeting, Denise’s team questioned costs and expressed doubts about proceeding, citing the sudden cancellation of their hairstylist. BJ’s team had already paid for the studio and made extensive preparations. Despite attempts to address the concerns, Denise’s manager ultimately canceled the project, leaving BJ frustrated and overwhelmed.
Determined not to let the effort go to waste, BJ canceled the original shoot and took on the financial burden himself. He quickly arranged a new shoot with actress Sarah Lahbati, who agreed to split the costs. Reflecting on the situation, BJ admitted he felt embarrassed for the people involved, who had dedicated significant time and effort.
In the aftermath, BJ expressed disappointment, noting he never received any acknowledgment or apology from Denise or her team.
