the weekend gallery

meshing together a couple of different occasions that happened across different weekends haha! i’m trying my best to load up on rest while finishing up May’s edits because June is going to be one CRAZY month!!

simply film

i got a wonderful surprise when canon (the little white fluffy friend) dashed into my office half estatic and excited and half trembling with fright haha. it rained that day so we had to hide under the shelter and shot along the corridor. it was definitely lots of fun and i thank velda & the family for engaging me to photograph their family portraits. especially when they take one every 10 years lol! 

one good thing about my neighbourhood at my office area, is that even though i was standing in the middle of the road, with an umbrella clenched in my neck and camera in one hand, the cars actually patiently stopped and waited for me to be done - can you believe it?! they didn’t even horn me :D wow, just amazing! i love tiong bahru even more ;)

vanessa-2

back from that short vacation with my family and appointments and shoots are locked back to back!! so I’m blogging on the go. Haha did a portrait session with Vanessa one of the days and even though she isn’t quite sure of it but she is one gorgeous girl ;) tough and strong (she played touch rugby) and beautiful.

waiting for the portrait session to start so i thought I’d just share these behind the scene pictures from the love bonito lookbook shoot. haha, i took a couple of shots too of our korean bbq dinner but almost everyone look rather drunk and weird (probably from being too tired), it was pretty hilarious. so i’ll show you the nicer looking pictures of us during the shoot while we still had some energy ;)

# my favourite photo is the last one that daphne took of me and vel haha. it’s pretty cool but on close observation i realize that i’m doing a awkward hand flailing gesture in an attempt to explain to zianna the kind of look i’m going for. lol

Love your film photos!!! Very inspiring! Any tips on how to shoot in film? My photos don't come out as clear as yours and what would be a good film camera for someone to start off with? I played around with a disposable film camera but wouldn't mind investing in a proper one :)

Oh thank you :D haha glad it’s inspiring!! every camera is so different, with different strengths & constraints. so i’m curious to know what camera do you use to shoot film. and thus my first most important tip (my little two cents) is [know your camera]. Really understand every nook and cranny of that little box. what’s the focal length, aperture, shutter speed, etc!! Hope it helps ;)

sister’s birthday

we’re a very simple family, my birthday was celebrated by the beach and so was my sisters’. we have no car, my parents don’t know branded stuff and we just live simply. we are not poor, no in fact we are truly blessed!! we just find wealth and joy in the simple things and this is one thing i love about my family :)

happy (last april) birthday sis!!
thank you for being my partner-in-crime <3
