Matsuri 2008 @ Vivocity
Was at Matsuri Cosplay event @ Vivocity. Tangshooters decided to set up a makeshift studio there and invited cosplayers to take photos. I believe it was the professional and polite way to take photos of the hardworking cosplayers. Unlike some minority of the photographers who spoil the overall image of us photographers, snapping shots like free and acting pros with DSLRs and knocking ppl and leaving without thanking the cosplayers. Well models/cosplayers are also human and deserve credit for what they do. These ppl juz dun think tat way... Well there are bound to be black sheep arnd... wat to do...

Sharing a few shots from the event... Pardon me coz i dun watch anime much but juz fascinated by the costumes...

TFCD - Punk Theme

This weekend is full of model shoots. In fact this month is full of shoots for TFCDs and planned paid shoots. Really tough balancing work and shoots as well as planning time to spend with family and gf. How I wish there is more than 24 hours a day to accomplish wat I wan to do.

Sharing some punk shots from last Sat shoot. Thanx to Yong Way for planning this shoot and making it so fun and successful.

In for the punk mood. Feels like a prelude before a major face off. Make use of ambient lighting and directions from abdul to create this mood. One of the better shots I have in my opinion.

Another shot with use of ambient lighting. Really learnt a lot from abdul on using available light to shoot. This one also one of my personal fav.
DS04

She does have very exotic ornaments on her. This one I feel capture the low mood she is in after losing her beloved.
DS07

This one I call it "Revenge - Back with a Vengeance!".

Gloomy Days

Been really busy these 2 weeks. Managed to squeeze time to take some little photos and post here. In fact not much but only one. One photo which I pretty like.

This was actually taken on last saturday's morning trek with some Tangshooters along MacRitchie Reservoir. The weather was really bad as after 15 mins of trek, the rain starts to pour, and I mean it really POURS. Most of us are drenched while heading for the Lornie Road Exit. The trek lasted for less than an hour and we have to abort.

Dehydration - Reaching Out for Water

Personally, the picture gives me the feeling that the branches were actually reaching out for the water in the reservoir. They are dried and dehydrated... However hard they tried, they are still far from their objective. It somehow sets the mood for the day. It became a gloomy and down day but with Tangshooters around, well, there are bound to be laughter and joy that breaks the down and gloomy side.
