Elegant and Stylish Commercial Photography

Elegant and stylish, this shot was taken at Midvalley-KL while window shooping. it was near 10pm and most shop are closing down. I am myself tired and wanted to close my footstep. But just as i was about to step out the mall, i saw this well arranged-lighted-placed showcase section (i just don't know what to call it, lets just say its the place to show the jewels and necklace... bla2 lah)... And without hesitation, i took my compact digital cam and begin finding some nice angle...

I think people were wondering what the hell i was about doing with all those bending, kneeling... as there was NOTHING portrayed. I just ignored them and thinked that every artist would be thought as crazy at first, but once their art is developed, they are praised for it-forgetting the nonsense made before... So ok, i took this few photos and now im sharing it with you...

Black, blue, grey and white... the lighting effects does make it seems like ive taken this in my own mini studio-but i didn't... this was just something taken in the streets-(mall exactly).
I always give advice, hehehe so for those who wants to improve their photography skills... always bring along your camera, shoot anything at different angles to get a good perspective of the subject, dont bother people around you... get your freedom in photography and.... get improved...

On Duty-Gaya Street

Chinese New Year was a life full of activities and duties, from family to my freelance work as a photographer, it really has taken some of my sleeping time and force it to be spent outdoors... My task this time is to shoot at Gaya Street, one of Sabah famous sunday-spot...

located exactly in the heart of Kota Kinabalu-Capital City of Sabah, one can find and spend their mornings wondering and looking at various types of suveniers welcoming vissitors to take them home.

While the some chinese prefer to stay at home, others decide to go for a view of what Gaya Street has to offer them for that day. Open only during weekends or sundays- this tourist destination is something everyone shouldnt miss... here are some of the shoots i took from the scene.

Photography Watermarks

Someone has just given comments to my pictures through Yahoo Messanger, at last, someone appeared and criticized me.. (something that i have been long waiting for)...

Im currently upgrading and promoting my service for you. Im currently upgrading my camera kit for better performance, besides that, im also thinking of creating a simple, objective and creative watermarks for my photo's...

(My Watermark)

At the moment, i have tried ACD text adding and its a bit.... uncreative and old fashioned, so i begin designing using Photoshop C2 and got one, yet its still very disturbing to the whole view of the photo...

I'm also thinking of setting a website with my own domain name. that would easily link viewers directly to my photos and blogs, including other sites related to me & photography. current software for building is Microsoft Frontpage, but it's not that good enough. Dreamweaver is one of the good ones, however i'm exploring Flash maker... for a more artistic and dynamic site... heh~ the site will probably get published by mid year. with the domain name that you might be able to guess... try if you can~?

Elvis & Minnie Wedding in BnW

This time im uploading another version of photos from the same event- Elvis & Minnie Wedding which is converted into mono or Black & White. i adjusted the color balance to let the tone stand out a bit. some of the pictures may look unnatural but still, the point of appreciation here is the lightings.

Wish you good luck in everything... as you view the pictures i mean... and hopefully.. the luck continues..(wait a sec, why did i wish luck instead of...) nah~ whatever... thanks for viewing though...

My Bridal Models & Me 2

Here is another post of my models and me section. they are not exactly my models actually. they are just acting as my models. we were trying out some of my friends bridal gowns and we begin posing here and there like models.

i didn't use my Pentax K10D since its out of energy. however, this shot was taken using my Canon Powershot A540. edited it a bit in Photoshop... did a bit of touch up... and publish it for you.... enjoy....

My Bridal Models & Me

While viewing the thumbnails, you figured out that I have a bridal shop, or anything to do with the bridal world? Nah, almost correct yet not that close(^wink^). Its 10 hours towards Christmas and me and my friends went to our-another friends shop to see what she has to offer us.

The shop was still new to people in our hometown. (ill mention the name when its well prepared for your means). We entered and begin testing a few samples of gowns and dresses. ME? i tested none… I went there with only one purpose… to train myself in bridal photography. We didn’t have a good background that time, as the bridal shop doesn’t have any photographer yet, (they are still new.. I mentioned it didn’t i?)…. So my present that evening was not only to test and train, but try to capture some nice pictures for the owner the use as promotional samples.

This was my first time in taking such pictures, but anyway, everything turned out well. My models (obviously my friends) felt pretty awkward with the modeling pose. Yet after flipping through some bridal magazines and practicing imagine-myself kind of things, they eventually made some good pose.

As you can see, (if you are a dress concerned person) you’ll notice some mistake in the models. Well, please forgive them since its their first, and they… just ignore it…..

Whatever happened that day, we were quite satisfied with the humble outcome, although with lots of weakness in preparation and settings, yet we still manage to get something good.

Yea… rite…..
