Family holiday + Cool teenager + Crazy photographer = The makings of an awesome portrait session ;)
Imagine what a pleasant surprise I had when Ati sent me an email enquiring about my photography services. I mean, of course photographers would receive enquiries everyday, but this was different as it was from Bahrain. Yes, as in Middle East Bahrain. Thanks to the wonders of google, Ati found my blogsite online and contacted me right before his annual family trip to Kuala Lumpur. This trip was their 7th time in Malaysia (if I’m not mistaken ;p) and it being his last year of high school, Ati decided to have a portrait session done. Something along the lines of senior year portraits.
On the day of the shoot, I headed over to the Grand Millenium hotel where they were staying and started off the session cracking jokes with Ati. He was way cool throughout the session and perfectly at ease when I would suggest poses for the session. I think he would’ve gone into an intricate yoga pose if I had suggested it! Love it when my clients are game for anything!
Ati, I had tons of fun during the portrait session and I’m ecstatic that you liked the pictures! Hope you and your family enjoyed your trip to KL this time round. Now don’t go home telling your friends that all Malaysian photographers are crazy k? Most of them are quite normal. I think you were just ‘unfortunate’ enough to meet one who was absolutely off the wall :p Hehe…take care and all the best with your studies!












his eye lashes are crazy! beautiful :)

These photographs are inspirational, I especially like the “David Blane-esque” levitation image, so cool…
