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!!!

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!!!

Faraway (With Mary)

Last Friday, on the 31st of August 2012, and it was public holiday in Malaysia. We went to a faraway place to have the photography session conducted. 

Featuring Mary on a moody evening, who has been months away since the last portrait session during Chinese New Year. She's donning her newly dyed hair, a Union Jack Top with hot pants bottom, and a pair of sweet sneakers. Theme is sort of escaping and away, doing my best to keep everything simple and clean. Got to thanks her get on board and suffering from some mosquito / insects bite.

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!!!

An Evening With Esther

A lovely girl with a pretty smile lightens up the moody evening at a local park. This session was taken after An Afternoon With Esther before we called it a day. 

Initially I was trying to use available light only for this session but only found it too dull for the ambient, so I decided to do it the strobist way (off camera flash) to brighten up the pictures. Special thanks to Aderine for holding the 580 EXII.

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!!!
