Lake Powell, Arizona.

Lake Powell, Arizona, U.S. A beautiful man made lake surrounded with beautiful canyon/ rocks and cold wind. Love the sculpture and patterns of the rocks or canyon.

This was taken while sitting on the tour bus on the way to Lake Powell.  We passed by many beautiful mountains.

And finally, we reached Lake Powell. We went there during May which the season is spring time but still very cold as the strong wind blows continuously.

Portrait 019 : Joseph Mah

19th Portrait Album, Joseph Mah. He is a athletic person as you can see based on his ripped body. Also is my first time photographing people topless to show off their body and do a manly, sexy plus sporty theme. I've requested him to do a few jump shots then a few normal standing shots and mostly all have to make his scarf flying by me or by himself. I use remote control to snap when I at the position to help him throw the scarf up to make the scarf fly/float/wave in a way I hope it can be.

The photoshoot session is taken in my small room with my own DIY fluorescent lights set up and brown paper stick to wall set up. And then pretty much post production works were done with photoshop.

Cousin Wedding

Its my third time being not the main photographer of the wedding event as I still not upgrading my flash lite until recently I have upgraded! But have not try using the flash lite yet. Anyway, I only posting a few photos of my cousin's wedding which I think is nice among the other photos and still want to keep certain photos remain private.

Male Portrait - Elvin

This is a test portrait I did for Elvin in year 2012 after so long I have not try photograph any man or guys. I feel lucky to be able to experiment capturing the water dripping over the face scene like those facial wash commercial.

 

 And here's Jason who helped me to do the water dripping and the lighting test shots. =)

Somewhere out there

Somewhere out there, in the middle of nowhere, where the sun is not alone but like the stars that many and the land is a hot desert place. Concept and the mood I decided to bring out is a warm desert cultural traditional feel like Africans in rural area but still add in fashion element into it with the lion hair and white eye shadow, eye brows and eye lashes.

Before this I was struggling find the right colour mood to adjust the colours and feel right and different from the previous posts I did which they all were shot on the same day and  same place.

Below images are my first and second attempts on adjust the colour palette.

A date with the night

"Dreaming to have a starry date with the beautiful night where the moon is softly glowing and the stars blended together from sky to earth. I am dating with the night."

This is the second look I photographed on the same day with the previous post. I like the outcome but I kind of regret the amount of photos were taken and the selected photos which I love.

The hat is eventually from bouquet flower decoration and the necklace are just chained different sizes of ring files. Good idea to full off a romantic classy evening look for photo shoot? 

Red Net

Another new album is up o post now. Hope you all enjoy this series of photos. More photos will be updated soon once I am done with post production. You may question why I use the same model which is Eva Lim, my sister. First is because, being her brother for years and seen her tried few modelling photo shoots with other photographers before, I believe I know her well, and I think she is a good model who is willing to communicate or discuss with photographer and have her input to blend with mine and yet she did fulfilled the basic requirements of a model. Second, because I am working for my own art projects, I am not having paid nor really my own business yet. So I know its hard to find models who have the face features I want and willing to work with me without getting paid, I only can afford by paying their meals on the photoshoot day and also have the good attitude to work with when my commanding power isn't that strong and persuasive at times.

Let go Vogue!

Let's go Vogue. work it baby!

Eventually, this was taken on the same day as the last 2 posts I posted.I separated them into 3 album because she had 3 looks to be shot on that day firstly and second reason is because I found there's 3 different look and feel which I end up decided to separate them into 3 albums. One is feminine pastel pink, one is the slightly retro colour mood but still remain some vibrant in it which to me I will call it the normal ones; lastly is because we found this background which hit me that this can be so fashion editorial together with the model.  So, wala, vogue! 

Vogue idea eventually I wasn't really want to imitate like the Vogue Magazine, but instead of the definition of "Vogue" which means something popular, something in fashion, popular style, fashionable.  Although I know I may not be right or very updated to fashion, but I know this is looking stylish.

Pink Garden

Finally, got some updates from me on my photography blog. I was busy doing many other things as I managing four blogs and I know it sounds crazy haha. Anyway, I do think you guys might get bored with me doing pink or purple colour mood photos again but for some reason, some photos I personally don't feel goes well with the original green trees background. It was a photography group with another photographer, Mei Fern.  Model is Eva Lim, makeup by Sylvia Yong. I snapped a few photos in this session and it have 4 different looks on her and I maybe decided to separate the photos into 4 groups with different colour mood due to the look and feel. The photoshoot took place at The Lake Garden in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Hope you enjoy seeing some of the photos here. Will update more later.
