I just got my new difusser yesterday, so I did a test run on it on my wireless flash hooked on my DIY lightstand straight after work. I thought I could catch the sunset at someplace with a great view but I've only managed to strobe at home. My siblings volunteered to be my subjects. Anyway, these are just experiment shots, so do mind the slippers. I gotta say, I was quite happy with the results, but I need to experiment more. Strobing is indeed tricky. Gotta learn from the masters.
Since I'm no longer unemployed now, I need to juggle up time between work, photography and blogging. Anyway, here are more pictures taken from last week's photoshoot with the Featuring Dancers in the evening of The Empire Hotel & Country Club. Just some different design experiments I've been working on these past few days, something to keep this blog occupied while I'm still trying to re-organize things and adapt myself in the working life.
No, not exactly a studio. Even if there is one, the models would probably end up smelling like raw fish. I'm just 'borrowing' the lighting from the interiors of Excapade Gadong to take pictures of these models Milla, Teddy and Khy.
When the sun sets, it makes a great setting for silhouettes, especially when you have your subjects standing directly in front of the source of light (the sun), preferably at the beach. Eventually, I got these amazing results from my previous shoot.
Finding a model for your portrait shots can be a pain in the neck sometimes. You have to set an appointment with her, buy her lunch, etc. Hahaha. Just kidding. Me, I'm taking it to the most economical approach for a start. So I've decided to 'kacau' my little sister outside my house yesterday afternoon and with the help of the ambient light from the 5.45 pm sun, I've managed to capture this photo of her.
...and it's her birthday today too.
Finally put my DIY strobe kit to good use.
