RED

Created a portrait album recently based on the color RED, and in conjunction with Chinese New Year 2013. Featuring Melissa Kho, who just happened to look stunning in RED. Thanks for participating in my personal project, also for bearing with the extended time and the hot sun.

Gong Xi Fa Cai & happy viewing!!!

Ottilia la Ballerina

Second album on ballet and ballerina, featuring Ottilia who also starts learning ballet since she was six years old. Many thanks to Ottilia for spending her precious morning for this outdoor / indoor session, she showed much determination during that time as she did her moves up to perfection. The other appreciation goes to Hilda, her sister, an ex-ballerina for assisting on the lighting and monitoring the ballet moves all the way. The more I got involved in ballet portrait photography, the more I love it, and I can't wait to produce more portrait projects like this.

Happy viewing!!!

MJ

A sunny portrait session with a special girl at a familiar place, featuring Michelle. A recent-graduate Graphic Designer and also a fashionista. She's best known for her unique attitude and personality which will definitely leave an impression to anyone who knows her. She said this was her first portrait shoot, but she seems so natural throughout the morning, bravo girl. Thanks for accepting the invitation.

Happy viewing!!!

Julie Christina

Featuring Julie Christina Ley, whom I knew for the first time. I knew her through James Lo, who be the "tour guide" of Sekama for that Saturday morning. The theme is pretty simple and straightforward, with the portrait subject merging with the surroundings. Sekama is one of the remaining old streets in Kuching, besides Padungan, Ang Cheng Ho, Kenyalang Park and Carpenter street. Despite it was first shoot for Julie, she performed naturally and smiled all the way. Thanks to her time and effort for being our portrait subject of the day.

Happy viewing!!!

Our Mid-Autumn

These were taken approximately a week before the actual day of Mid-Autumn Festival 2012. Featuring Aderine & Esther, where they had their very own lantern moments.

Happy viewing!!!

Closer To Jun

This was the second attempt, thankfully we did it successfully. The story goes back to 2 weeks ago when I proposed Jun to be my "rising" model. The first attempt failed due to a rainy and gloomy morning, so we had to called it off on the phone.

Last Saturday, the breaking dawn turned out fantastically good and the lighting produced a wonderful result on that day's portrait session. Jun looked simply lovely in this very simple Stars and Stripes top, bottomed with a hot pants and a pair of polka dots shoes. I must really thank her double time for willing to wake up real early in the morning and stay energetic throughout the shoots. Another appreciation goes to Robin the boyfriend for accompanying her and, holding the reflector, haha.

And yes, never doubt this phrase; "Early bird gets the worms".

Happy viewing!!!

Jun At The Front Desk

Jun, as her real self in the office at her workstation. I captured this through the glass wall of "aquarium" conference room after I'm done with some photography job. Color was toned to create a special mood which suits her look on that particular day, and also to cover up the bad interior lighting that time.

Happy viewing!!!

Aderine & A Date With The Sunset

Here comes part 2 of the Saturday (28/07/2012) evening shoot. While it was raining heavily at Kuching, we were blessed with plenty of sunshine till the darkness. The best part of that day was, we had a moment of spectacular sunset that enhanced the shoot even more.

Special thanks to Esther for carrying the reflector and the 580 EXII this round. I hope she's okay with the assisting as she's usually the person who was posing in front of the camera.

Lucky you, Aderine. Happy viewing!!!

Aderine & The Sunshine

"Finally!" She said the other day.

This is Aderine, elder sister of Esther Lo, and her very first solo photography album. We went all the way to Damai Central to have two photo sessions done until the sun goes down, last Saturday. Weather was cooperating well with us at the coastal area while it's raining heavily back in the town area. 

Alright, enough with the words. Why don't I let Aderine's sweet smile cheer up your day.

This is part one. Happy viewing!!!

Come Away With Me (Feat. Phei Sze)

Saturday morning, with Phei Sze. She's currently graduated with a Diploma In Graphic Design, and soon she'll be having her Degree course at the UK. While she's having a short holiday, I invited her for an outdoor portrait session at various places that I feel fit. 

Appreciate her willingness to pose under the hot weather, and simply love her "sad face". Even she herself said that while browsing through the camera LCD panel. 

Wishing you all the best in your studies, and do enjoy yourself over there. Happy viewing!!!

An Afternoon With Esther

Esther, she's back.

Ever since I "withdrew" myself from the social network months ago, I didn't really has the chance to get in touch with her and her sister, Aderine from The Cheongsam Sisters. Then out of the blue in May 2012, we contacted each other once again.

This series was taken approximately two weeks ago, on the first week of July, at some shop lots behind a plaza. Also this time I'm introducing a new color style in my portrait works, hope you guys will like it as well.

It was great to have Esther returns as my portrait subject. Happy viewing!!!
