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
The search of one's self
Looking for the light
Illumination
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.

Youthful Seclusion (Series 2) – Jacqueline & K.T.
A dark stairwell, an abandoned building, little traffic …. The young lovers find the perfect spot to vent their expressions of love for each other, like a wild stallion on the plains, running free. There are times when I would recall if it was the thrill of getting caught that spurs individuals to act in such a manner, or was it, the animal instinct that calls out, impregnated into our genetic codes. This are just rough photo cuts as I wanted it to remain edgy, so that it may spur your imagination or perhaps hint of heated passion.
Alone, together in a dark stairwell, shadow play emerges
The Darkness fuels the Passion of the flame
Reciprocration!
Crescendo and pulsations.
Again, I would like to thank Jacqueline and K.T. for this opportunity to shoot them, and yes, some of my friends have commented that its a little blatant, while others like this series very much, but all I will say is; I am still trying to perfect this art form. Give me some time and I will definitely be back with more artistic pictures on the pre wedding genre!
