Daniel Henney for Bench, 2004

Daniel Henney leaves tomorrow.
I just remembered he did a Bench shoot in Boracay many years ago and wondered if Ben Chan would host dinner for him like he did for Nicolas Ghesquierre in 2006.
Was hoping to be invited so I could see him again up close.
But it's good to be friends with Bench because I got the pictures from that photo shoot.



Last May 2004, Bench had a five-day shoot in Boracay that included models Jon Hall, Gary Dulatas, Chinese model Lu Yan and Korean-Irish model, Daniel Henney.



South African photographer Matthew Brookes shot the ad campaign, assisted by Jerome Laurent.
Styling was done by Singaporean Jeremy Tan.
Hair by Pops de Guzman and makeup by Krist Bansuelo.



A Philippine Star article said Henney's "movie star girlfriend from Hong Kong" was also there.



After the five-day shoot, the cast packed up for Manila, had a farewell dinner at Restaurant 12 (how vintage!) and a night out at Malate.
And we even didn't know who Daniel was then.
Wala bang despedida?
