Jacqueline & K.T. – In The Lightbox
Photographing Jacqueline and K.T. for my intimate series was really an eye opener to me. I was always under the impression that Malaysians were quite conservative when it came to these type of photo shoots for pre wedding. Mind you, model’s here in Malaysia are quiet open and have done semi-nudes, but we are talking about your average ‘everyday’ couple here.
I am indeed surprised that they warmed up very fast, without much prompting, as I guess they really wanted a different type of album. During the shoot, even the make up artist (MUA) and my assistants had to look away cause it was just getting to hot! The weather that is. They were very nice to have come back up to KL (they are residing in Johor) and met me over dinner to get their photos. I am quite satisfied with the outcome of the photo shoot for their pre wedding and am looking forward to another shoot once I return from the States

In the comfort of light
Radiance
This series of photos are not the usual ‘right in your face’ intimate pre wedding photos but I was trying to romanticise the couple using natural light. Many of my friends know that I am a fan of natural lighting, not that I do not like studio lights, but the one I bought was too cumbersome …. and which I just managed to get rid of.

Jacqueline & K.T. – Youthful Seclusion (Series 1)
To me, growing up can be a very exciting time. I do believe, at times in our lives, we reminisce about our childhood and younger days. Working with Jacqueline & K.T., on that hot and humid Sunday afternoon with my small crew, surely achieved that. It takes me back to a time when we were all young and carefree, falling in love for the first time, the excitement and nervous energy pent up as we found that secluded spot in order to make out for the first time. This series is trying to achieve this effect, it may come across as banal to some of my friends in Asia, but it’s just meant to recapture the essence of youth and the heat of passion.

Anxious Lover
Rite of Passage - Youth
The Beginning - Cautious
Youthful Passion - Adrenaline Rush
Youthful Passion - Oblivious to all
I am currently editing more pictures and will post them up in due course. This series showcases the same angle, and I am of the opinion that each shot is strong enough to stand alone, in telling a story. I have however, combined the actual pictures into a series, so you may be better able to draw your own conclusions of this story ….. Feel free to drop me a comment or mail!
