I was pleasantly surprised when Maria and Christophe brought me to a wee lil street in Chinatown that I had never noticed before. Imagine that, I’ve lived in KL for the past 11 years and Maria and Christophe, who are expats, had to show me where a certain street is *shy* ;p Maria liked the heritage buildings and old walls around the area and when I have clients like that, I am over the moon! Derelict buildings, graffiti-ed walls, construction sites - the more un-pretty the location, the more excited I get :D
As her parents were in town for a visit (great timing!) we took some shots with them before walking around the area for some portraits of Maria. It’s not everyday that I have a portrait session where locations are just sussed out as we walk along the area, so this was a nice change from my usual modus operandi ;)
Christophe thanks again for having me shoot the session (and searching Google for me. Yay for technology again!) and Maria, you are an absolute natural in front of the camera. Thanks for trusting me and just going along with all my suggestions. It was great fun! Glad to hear that you two had a great time in Laos and here’s to more public holidays in Malaysia = more travel time ;p Cheers
Beautiful colors and choice of location.

@Newkid: Most of the colors were straight out of camera. The ones I tweaked were done via photoshop by adjusting curve and temperature.
