On Location - Yukata Theme

Linked up via Zech for this on-location shoot, we are doing an on-location shoot on a Saturday afternoon. Weather looks safe for an outdoor shoot this evening.

Since the new flats are built up, we had to take a detour route to get to the exact location; it's quite a short walk fortunately.  Though the weather was tuned down, it was locked at the cooler climate.

Location selected and we decided to shoot in the "lily among the thorns" area, namely, the long grassy area before moving to the famous red bridge.  By the time our shoot was done, the sky light had fallen to darkness so it was time to move off.

Some extracts taken from the shoot:

A camera-less day

"What would I do with my phone?" was the first thing that flashed my mind on such a day where my usual camera isn't within my reach.

Of course I have not forgotten that my phone has a camera.  So with a decent app, and some creative juice popped in, here I go on Instagram with my first Black and White series via a mobile device.

For those who have and like to see photos on the move, here's where you can find me on Instagram:

Studio bridal shoot at Nishka Events

Thanks to Jeny of Nishka Events and Edmund, we have got this opportunity to do a shoot at a studio setup.  Being an on-location photographer, I have always been shooting outdoors where external light factors play a factor.

Shooting under controlled lighting environment makes everything all so different as I know exactly where the light source is coming from.  From the past experiences in portraiture, I have once again an opportunity to shoot under a full personal choreography with Edmund's guidance.

Jeny has been so hospitable, Nikayla being such a great model and the magical strokes under the hands of Jolin as the MUA.

Here are some extracts of the shoot:

Punk Theme: Rynx & Sabelle

Another on-location shoot organised with Zech today; this time, it's a little different.

Punk.

The weather was great and it was the first time I've met Sabelle; she certainly looks pretty young.  All well dressed and we are ready to go.

After the first round, we did for Rynx as she arrived at a later time.  Nevertheless, great weather still keep the shoot workable.

Here are some highlights of the shoot:
