Happy Chinese New Year!

These Chinese themed photos were taken a couple of days ago for Leonora's portfolio. We shot these in two locations. The first was in La Vintage restaurant and the second one was done in a Chinese temple. 

Wedding : Vui Ming & Zania

Congratulations to the newly wedded couple! 

These are a few photos from a wedding assignment a couple of weeks ago. Its always interesting to witness modern Chinese wedding rituals. The groom isn't allowed inside the house until certain acts are performed. In this instance, the groomsmen were asked to eat extremely spicy sandwiches and were then asked to drink a combination of unknown drinks. 

One particular groomsman was asked to perform the gangnam style dance before the family decided to let the groom in. The tea ceremony followed afterwards and continued on to the groom's house. It was a great experience and I hope to capture more of these in the future.

Back In The Day

Recent wedding events have rendered me a little too busy to find time to post anything. I hope to post some of those photos here soon. In the mean time, here's some photos from a short trip to the museum.

Here And There

More photos from this Chinese new year.

Year Of The Dragon

Ikhwan, Mahira, Brenda, my sister and myself decided to go out for our first photo session in months. We've been very busy with exams and now we finally have the time to go out. We returned to the same rocky hill that Mahira, Nadine and myself went to in a previous post this time with a chinese theme for the coming Chinese New Year. We arrived late and we only had very little time before we started to feel the scorch of the midday sun. 

We spent a total of 40 minutes there and there really wasn't enough time to work on every pose in detail. Everything was rushed because we just wanted to get out of the sun as soon as we could. I felt so rusty because of the lack of portrait sessions. Still, I'm glad that we had the opportunity to go out together and credits to my sister for being the model and everyone else for all of the help provided throughout the shoot.

Note: I forgot to mention that the fans were actually red. I just changed them to match the color of the dress :)

Dim Sum

Shot these photos quite a while back while my family and I were having lunch at Hyatt Hotel . These were the only two dishes that I managed to shoot before I got really hungry.

I have way too many photos to post but I haven't been able to sort them out yet. I will try to keep up but the coming week will be an incredibly busy one for me with so many assignments due so close to each other.

Edit: I forgot to mention. I changed the blog layout so the widgets from the sidebar have been moved to other pages on the blog.

Foosball

Some foosball photos from when we went to Mei Jun's open house during Chinese New Year.

Lanterns

This is just another photo I took before Chinese New Year. This was actually in front of the Japanese restaurant, Hana in City Mall. I'm not sure but the writing on the lanterns might be Japanese. :D

Fireworks

The Chinese new year was greeted with hundreds of colorful fireworks sent exploding into the night sky. The spectacular display lasted for quite a while as people from all over the city were using up as much as they could for that very moment, as if competing with each other ;p It really sounded as if it was war.

This is actually my first time capturing fireworks :)

These are some of the fireworks that I captured. Before and after the new year. A couple of the photos have black lines across them because of the power lines that were outside my house. The second photo appears to have a spiralling effect because of the camera shake.

The photos are all taken at 5 seconds shutter on a tripod [except for the third photo which was hand-held with the shutter at BULB] with the aperture at f/14 with my 18-55mm kit lens.

Happy Chinese New Year!!!
