Presenting... my second potrait photography work! In these shots is Siew Wun, whom I've known together with Janice for many years now. A few weeks back, she was asking if I could help do shots of her with her new "bob cut" hairdo. I agreed and requested that she came out with the suggestion for the theme & location. It's not surprising why she chose to be photographed at the Armenian Street. It's the charm of the historical street which stands some of Penang oldest heritage buildings. Clearly there's a sense of belonging in her with the area, which made the session so much at ease, yielding great results.
Hope you like this series of my potrait work. Leave me a comment and tell me what you think!
p/s: based on feedback received, I agree that pic#26 looks rather unflattering on Wun. I've therefore replaced it!

I love how her heels stood out in the photos and Siew Wun's expression in the last photo. Though it took me some time to figure out what the metal object in front of her was.Siew Wun has a lovely smile! Good job to both photographer and model!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your use of different angles, colors and textures in your shots :)
ReplyDeletePlus, I think the quirky hairstyle of my dear couz added a touch of class and uniqueness!
Since YN asked me to comment "superbly"..here it goes:
ReplyDeleteSorry don't have the photography lingo so just gonna comment on what i see!

Pic #5: not one of my favs

Pic #22: Wun looks great here. very natural. you're really a paparazzo..sneaking shots!
Pic #23: >.< I was hoping to see a clearer shot of her here.
Pic #24: Minah Hainan owning her crib. lol
Pic #25: another one for the catalogue. good one!
Pic #26: YN! you gotta find her best angles, this one i feel is unflattering for her feature.
Pic #27: nice shot, although i feel the wires here kinda make the 'colonial' feeling get lost
Pic #28: MY ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE. Very classic.
All in all I know you must've worked your butt off this shoot, so Kudos to you and also to Wun. =)
Wun: now you have a selection of pics to show your grandchildren one day =)

The overall arrangement of the potraiture is interesting whereby you manage to lead the viewers through the story that you are trying to tell in the photographs.
ReplyDeleteMost of the b&w photos turned out beautifully out of expectations. Alas, I've got quite a number of personal favs here...
Pic # 3, 6, 9, & 16 are the few which I like..but the ones I like best are #21 & 28 (last pic)
#21 is rich in colours...and I love the humour in this shot whereby the model is pointing at the wrong direction. The compostion of this photo is catchy...
My best pick would be the last picture..this is because it looked as though the model is leaving the trail and just stood there for a moment to have one last feel of that place...
Well done, well done =)
