Chui Sun’s Family Portraits

Portraits

30 May 2009

Chui Sun’s about to give birth in a couple of weeks time and before she does, I had the opportunity of capturing her in ‘maternity mode’ together with her husband Henry and their son, Donald. The shoot was at their family home and on that day itself, whilst driving to their house it started to drizzle. I vividly recall doing a mental ‘sun dance’ and sure enough! Once I was near their house the rain stopped. Somebody up there loves me ;) Yay!

Despite the humidity, Chui Sun and her ‘boys’ were absolute troopers throughout our session. I found it absolutely hilarious that Donald was fidgeting throughout the whole session and refused to look at the camera most of the time. I always love a challenge and with abit of patience and A LOT of baby talk, we managed to get shots of lil’ Donald looking absolutely happy. Happy babies make me happy :D

Hehehe….a fave of mine. Donald looks adorable here!

Yes, I know the shot isn’t focused properly. But I love, love the feel of it :D It makes me feel warm and snuggly inside :)

This is a favourite of mine too. Chui Sun, I think you look absolutely beautiful :)

Ok ok. THIS is my utmost favourite shot from the session. They’re such a happy family :)

Chui Sun, thanks again for having me shoot your maternity and family portraits for you. It was an absolute pleasure to meet you, Henry and Donald. All the best with your latest addition to the family too :)

Away On A Break

Personal

22 May 2009

The past couple of weeks has been absolutely crazy.

Shoots throughout weekends, midnight editing marathon sessions, working out, meeting couples, sourcing new suppliers – I wanted to do it all. Wanted to do it all to the point where I’ve only been getting an average of four to five hours of sleep a night.

But I’m not complaining. I’m just writing this down to remind myself that though I absolutely love what I’m doing now and think that it all can be done, a break needs to be taken. A break to refresh myself, to work those kinks outta my body, to clear up my mind, body and soul……oh yes, I am super cliche.

I’ll be outta town in a couple of hours for a short break and I’ll be back next Tues. At the same time, I’m already anticipating coming back refreshed and recharged for I’ll be shooting quite a number of awesome people in the coming weeks. Can’t wait!

Till then, live long and prosper…….been wanting to use that line for a blog post for awhile now ;p

I’ll be checking my emails regularly. So just drop me an email if you can’t reach me via my cell. Ta!

Julie Woon – Portraits for Blogger Boy

Portraits

17 May 2009

A new TV series called Blogger Boy will be airing on 8TV come May 28, 2009 and I recently had the pleasure of shooting portraits of actress Julie Woon for the show.

Some of the below shots will be further edited by an animator who’ll add in some additional ‘characters’ and it’ll featured in one of the episodes where Julie’s character will have her self-portraits showcased in an exhibition. These were shot a couple of weeks back with conceptualisation from Bernard Chauly and wardrobe by Daniel Henry.

Can’t wait to see what they’re gonna do with the pics on that episode :)

Edit (July 27, 2009): Ok so I recently noticed that there were a lot of google searches for ‘Julie Woon’, ‘Julie Hoi’ and when I checked it was because pictures of her clad in lingerie were put online not too long ago. Well, sorry to disappoint those who got here instead. No lingerie shots here, no nudity, no sexiness – so move along, move along.
