Aaron works in the same company as I do and he previously helped me organize the photography workshop I thought at my firm a couple of months back. This time when he emailed me again, it was for something totally different. He was going to be in front of the camera together with Susan instead of behind it.

Frankly, I believe that Cyberjaya is a little hidden gem when it comes to photo taking. I believe there is plenty of potential here in terms of the photos you can get. I just need to experiment more and recce the place out a little bit more and I am sure I can find more unique locations.

So when Aaron asked me to shoot his portraiture session, I jumped at the chance to suggest Cyberjaya.

Here are some of my favourite shots from that day.

The weather wasn’t really what I had hoped for, instead of the sunny and dramatic skies I know Cyberjaya has, it turned out to be dark and gloomy. To make it worse, it started to drizzle as well during the shoot.

Despite the weather, we powered through with more shots!

The sun did eventually set earlier than expected or it probably hid behind some clouds, so we headed towards Putrajaya for a couple of shots there as well.

As a confession, we took these photos right after work so I had all of my lighting equipment and no one to help me hold them. Hence I had to employ the street lamp to assist me with my lighting.

I can’t wait for my next assignment to be in Cyberjaya or Putrajaya, I definitely want to try other locations other than just using the usual bridge shots there.

Sneak Peak: Aaron & Susan

December 4, 2009

Here is a sneak peak from one of my recent portrait shoots.

Aaron&Susan_Blog-001

I had the privilege to shoot both Wai Seng & Mavis a while back. They were a fun couple and definitely have a little pizazz in them. One thing I appreciated them about was that they were willing to wake up in the early morning of a weekend and still be energetic even though the weather looked threatening. I didn’t manage to get the light I wanted as the clouds were overcast but I believe we all had a great time on that Saturday morning.

Here are some of the shots I took.

I wanted the shoot to be fun and a relaxed environment where both WS and Mavis can just be themselves.

I guess the shot below would probably have revealed the location of the shoot :D .

Of course we had a little bit of fun under the bridge.

One thing I got to love about our administrative capital on a weekend is that the roads are always so clear! Then again, even during the weekdays, the roads are still clear (subtly hinting and poking fun).

And out of no where, there is this interesting blue backdrop for me steal a couple more shots.

Till the next post! I’ve got about 5 more in draft mode ready to be churned out :)

As I mentioned in my previous post, I would post up more photos that I took of Nadia at Putrajaya. Not to dissapoint you all, here are some more of my shots.

The shot above was taken before we moved to a shadier area. The lighting was extremely harsh at this location.

A more serious look pose from Nadia.

Close up shot of Nadia, man, I just love shooting with the 85mm f/1.8 lens!

Tried a clean-look post processing for the image above, a feel of serenity.

A more grunge tone of post processing to show the seriousness of her eyes and yet portraying a soft feel with the presence of the rose.

Of course, who wouldn’t want to see the model smiling a bit, right?

And finally, enough of close ups. Lets get a full body shoot.

The photos are also available on my Flickr set.

An early morning with Nadia

November 10, 2008

Sometime back I shot Nadia at a workshop conducted by Jay at Bukit Jalil. This time, she is back again. I would like to share a couple of shots of Nadia I took together with some of the Lowyat forum members in the early hours of the morning. Well there are only two shots here because I managed to find some time to post process them yesterday. Hope you enjoy the photos.

Have to thank Wyluxx for waking up so early in the morning to drive down to Petaling Street and getting a bouquet of roses for the shoot.

In the end, we ended asking Nadia to use just a single stalk of rose.

Frankly, I only post processed these two shots mainly to create an automated watermark action on Photoshop. Hence the reason for a vertical and horizontal shot.

A big thanks to Xandman for organising the event, Wyluxx for the awesome planning and the amount of props brought and Zio for being the dedicated lighting guy for the rest. Keep on shooting guys!
