NAT-al-IE : Skylight

5 days of Raya break last week and no photoshoot planned sounds like a disaster! But fret not. Determined of not letting myself rot at home in what seemed to be an "unproductive" holidays, I quickly arranged an impromptu photoshoot. Yeah, Nat saved my holidays :)

Titled "Skylight" as the dull grey evening skies turned into beautiful orangy hues as we shoot, though for a short period of time before it was shrouded by total darkness. Nat is looking great as usual!!

Derrick & Karren - Our First Wedding Anniversary

Finally, after a number of previews on Facebook, presenting the album for Derrick & Karren. This collection of shots was done last week to commemorate the couple's first wedding anniversary. They were photographed on location at the Peranakan Mansion, and few other "hot" wedding photography spots around the area.

This is by far the shoot that satisfies me the most. Scroll down and click on the link to view the entire album. Do drop me a line if you like them.

The Shutterbug is now El Fotógrafo

You read it right. If you haven't noticed, the blog has been renamed. After close to a year of active photography, it's time I move to the next level. The rebranding of the blog is just the very first step towards the goal.

Capturing portraits is my favourite and more exciting works are coming right up. The Shutterbug is now El Fotógrafo!

Natalie - 초상화

First outing for the Pixers, a photography group formed with several of my photography buddies. The talent for this shoot is Natalie, a beautiful law student whom Jonsern managed to coax to being our model.

My idea was to do a photobook with story line but it didn't work out in the end. The mundane morning sky wasn't any helpful either. Luckily Nat's chirpiness saved the day. Changed the initial idea to a fashion themed shoot, which is why you don't see Nat smiled as much in my shots - I love them! It shows that edgy character of hers!

With this album done, I'm proposing another "happy" themed portrait with her sometime soon.. to which she has happily obliged (:

Baby H

"H" for Harini, born August 5th at day 26th of her life in this world. If you followed my blog closely, you'd have seen the potraits of her parents before. This series of shots in B&W was done in a quick 15 minutes during our first visit two weekends ago. Baby H was too small to be comfortably photographed so I made it real quick with whatever pose she gave. As you can see towards the end, the little girl began getting irritated - a signal telling me to stop snapping & hand her back to her mom :)
