Thanx to Alex Moi, I had a wonderful opportunity to shoot in a studio environment with a “REAL” model! I got to shoot with a “makeshift” studio backdrop system as well as a studio lighting setup which surprisingly turned out to be really simple yet delivers excellent environment for a portrait shootout indoor AS WELL AS outdoor.
I woke up really early (which is not normal for me UNLESS I’m working of course!) & went down to a morning market nearby where I stay, hoping to get some really nice fresh roses for the shoot. However, the florist didn’t have much selection that morning, so I decided to drive down to Petaling Street for more flower shopping! I LOVE all the florists in Petaling Street! SOOOOOO many different flowers to choose from and they’re cheap cheap cheap! Hehehe…
And I managed to make one hand bouquet right before leaving for the studio. Did I tell you that I made my own hand bouquets & corsages for my wedding in KL last year?
Too bad I didn’t get the chance to shoot with the hand bouquet cos time constraints & there were like 4 of us shooters taking turns on the lighting system with ONE model. Sigh…
Anyway… we had great fun with the flowers I bought, as well as other silly stuffs that we could get our hands on from the studio for the model to play with… *wink*
Here are 2 of my favorite shots from the day of Adeline Lee, the 1st runner up of Malaysian Dreamgirl 1st Online Series 2008. She’s just so photogenic & a wonderful model to work with… I love her soft yet flexible personality. Oon loves her smile! Hahaha…
Hehehe… nope… it’s not a shot for ACER advertising. Just that Oon (one of us photographer at the shoot) owns this laptop & he came up with the idea as another prop for Adeline to play with for our shoot.

Isn’t she lovely? Yup… one of the flowers I bought as another prop for our shoot. *wink*

So what do you think? Not so bad for a first timer, eh? ;) I know I know… Self Praise Is NO Praise. Hehehe… But I’d love to hear what you think bout my work here. There are many more yummy photos that I like in my collection so I’ll try to make some time to post up more here later. So come back later or just subscribe to my RSS feed. It’s easy! Till then… have a wonderful weekend! I know I will!
Remember to subscribe to our RSS feed. TQ!

[20-07-08 | 2:40 AM]I’m with you, Jenn! In reality, Adeline’s the true winner here. She’s a very strong girl BUT she can be so sweet & has a good heart. Yup… I knew all this right after spending time with her for only a few hours!
