On a lovely Sunday evening, Lillian and Roger dropped by our little home studio for a shoot. We started at our nearby park. As Sunday was Hari Raya Haji, it was a bit quieter at the park than usual even though Monday was a holiday. The cool weather (the rain just stopped a few hours ago) made for a pleasant and fun time.
Lillian came prepared with flowers, balloons and more. As the sun set, we wrapped up our shoot at the playground and moved back to our home studio. We had a lot of fun and evidently, their little boy was going to grow up to be a Liverpool supporter whether he liked it or not! We didn’t have time to shoot around the garden but we’re definitely weren’t going to waste the lovely bubble blowers Lillian & Roger brought.
It was was dark outside already so what to do? Photography is about light and when light is not available, you improvise. After all, you’re paid to provide solutions, not complain about lack of light (and/or equipment). Flicked on all my 130W globes on my feature wall, single speedlite firing into an umbrella from camera left turned the evening scene into something surreal. Add a touch of cross-processed look and I just love the series.
Thanks Lillian & Roger for the fun time and the box of letter blocks. Congrats on the boy and hope you’d have a safe delivery! Roger’s going to have a lovely present this Christmas!
Just this June, we had the privilege and joy of shooting Michele and Michael. Michele’s about 32 weeks into her pregnancy and they actually came all the way up to KL from Singapore. We’ve done almost all our portraiture and other photography either on site or in places of the couple or individual’s choosing, i.e. KLCC, nearby parks, hotels, or homes so this was the third time we actually used the “home” part of our home studio.
After our own little miracle from God, it’s a totally different experience shooting another expectant couple. Of course, if they’re first-timer’s like we were then they do appreciate some of our experiences and challenges we faced and still face. We had lots of fun over cheese tarts and poppy seed cakes, books, iPads and toys! The entire shoot was done at our little home studio. Thanks again to Michele and Michael and we pray little Michaela will be delivered just fine, in the hands of our good Lord.
We had a fun time shooting a lovely couple who are amazingly in love with each other and their Savior. We had drinks, cheese tarts and a lot of fun shooting, both indoors and outdoors. I shot this while my beautiful wife was shooting — hey, we’re a team and we both shoot! Photos from that wonderful session coming up soon.
